Introduction High-level progress report on the sector statement LIBOR LOCHMANN Secretariat of the Sector Statement Group and Executive Director, CER
Outlook o on ‘Sector S Statement’ Continued ed e efforts to to b boost inter ternational r rail f frei eigh ght Rail Freight Day 6 December 2018, Vienna Dr Libor Lochman Secretariat of the Sector Statement Group Executive Director CER
Despite 7% growth in EU28 rail t-km since 1995, modal share of rail freight is declining During the same period, rail freight underperformed compared to the rate of industrial production, which grew by 12.8%. Source: European Transport in Figures 2018, Eurostat 2018
AC ACTI TION? YES: M Minis isteria ial D l Decla laratio ion and Sector S Stat atemen ement on boosting international rail freight in Europe Rotterdam TEN-T Days June 2016
Since Rotterdam June 2016? • Ten p priority a actions derived from Sector Statement were presented at RFD 2016 • Sector S Stat atement G Group (SSG) was set-up in July 2017 to implement Sector Statement, starting with ten priorities • First progress reported at RFD 2017 on some priorities • Compreh ehen ensive P e Progres ess Report rt prepared by SSG in 2018 outlining detailed progress on each priority • Outlook o on ‘ ‘Sector Stat atemen ent’ – today!
Summary of progress achieved till 2018 Outlook on the ‘Sector Comprehensive Progress Statement’, December 2018 Report, October 2018
1. Making rail a more attractive option • developing sector-led comparable and harmonised Key ey P Perform rman ance I ce Indicators (KPIs) to help monitor freight performance on the RFCs • improved quality and accuracy of the Es Esti timated Ti Time of A f Arri rrival (E (ETA) to track the location of the goods • identifying an efficient way of cooper eration b bet etween en the Co Core Ne Network Co Corrid idors ( s (CN CNCs) s) a and RFCs Cs and the TEN-T technical parameters to be prioritised from a market perspective
2. Enhancing operational efficiency • create an automatic electronic connection (TAF/TAP TSI) between Path C Coordination System ( (PC PCS) and any nat ational s system em to reduce manual input and the risk of mistaken entry • improve harmonization o of o operational p processes at borders for fewer delays at borders, lower costs, and increased efficiency and reliability of services offered • facilitating ERTMS i implemen ementation through a close coordination of all actors to ensure that ERTMS migration will be affordable and beneficial for the rail freight sector
3. Ensuring adequate capacity for all users • implementation of the Time Tabl ble R e Redes edesign gn p projec ect ( (TTR) R) to make railways more competitive and offer higher flexibility for rail freight and passenger traffic • Improve coordination of Temporary Capac acity Restrictions (TCRs) s) to manage capacity efficiently and ensure a smooth flow of the traffic • rev evising a g and nd upda pdating ng of the c e capa pacity c concep ncepts s offered via the RFCs to provide a capacity solution for each market requirement • Harmonised structure and text of the Corridor I Information Do Document ( t (CID) D) to reduce the administrative burden of IMs and facilitate the business of the RFC customer
Conclu lusio ion: imp mpor ortan ant p prerequis isites f for or t tac ackl klin ing chall llenges to b o boost r rail f ail freight ar are in in plac lace • work within SSG has improved co commu mmunica cation and coopera ration between all sector stakeholders • interaction with transport ministers has been supportive in providing more tran anspar aren ency cy and trust • these actions have set in motion a process of tangible imp mprovem emen ent for European rail freight transport • Priority 10 on harmonisation of CID has been completed • new Priority 11 on International Contingency Management has been added!
Next s ste teps? ps? Ra Rail s l sect ctor i is commit itted t to bo boosting r rai ail f freight bu but we c can annot do do i it al alone To realize modal shift to rail freight, support from national and European authorities is needed by: • promoting the harmonization of national interpretations of European legislation • providing support for the integration of national and international processes • providing better predictability at national level for investments in rail infrastructure • targeting investments for rail freight through EU and national funding mechanisms, and other measures supporting rail freight
