European Transport Ministers are gathering today, on December 5, for their EU Council meeting. On this occasion, they will discuss inter alia the current proposal for a revision of the Regulation governing the guidelines of the Trans-European Network for Transport (TEN-T), with the possibility of reaching an agreement on a Council General Approach.

CER and fellow European rail associations ERFA, UIP, UIRR, and UNIFE co-signed an open letter to the EU Transport Minister calling for their attention to several critical points during their discussions. 

The revision of the TEN-T network and standards must, by all means, enable railways to act as the backbone of European mobility (meaning both the movement of people and freight), increase infrastructure capacity by building better physical infrastructure and deploy the necessary technology for an ever more digitalized infrastructure capacity management. This will be needed to boost rail services in both the passenger and freight markets, foster modal shifts, and contribute to the decarbonization of EU mobility on a continental scale.
