State aid: Commission approves restructuring aid to Greek railway companies OSE and TRAINOSE

On 16 June 2017 the European Commission concluded that Greek measures to support the restructuring of OSE, the national rail infrastructure manager, and TRAINOSE, the passenger and freight rail transport operator, are in line with EU state aid rules.

OSE S.A. manages the national Greek railway infrastructure and is currently fully-state owned. TRAINOSE S.A., also fully owned by the Greek state, was spun-off from OSE in 2008 and is the sole provider of passenger and freight services in Greece.
