On 5 June 2014, at the Transport, Telecommunications and Energy Council meeting in Brussels, the Council of the European Union reached a political agreement on the draft directives on the interoperability and safety of European railways and the draft regulation on the European Railway Agency. Together, the three legislative acts make up the technical pillar of the fourth railway package, published by the Commission in January 2013. The completion of this technical pillar is expected to increase economies of scale for railway undertakings across the EU, reduce administrative costs and speed up procedures. It should also help to avoid any covert discrimination in the issuing of safety certificates and vehicle authorisations. |
