European rail network for competitive freight enters into force

The Regulation concerning a European rail network for competitive freight was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 20 October 2010 and will enter into force on 9 November 2010. It establishes and organises international rail freight corridors. It further aims at improving cooperation between rail infrastructure managers, making the infrastructure capacities allocated to the corridors reliable. A good coordination between rail infrastructure management and goods terminal management and ensuring non-discriminatory access to these corridors for all operators are equally important.
