Proposal for a regulation

Recital 15
(15) Equal conditions are the prerequisite for fair competition. Preparing railway undertakings for mandatory competitive tendering for public service contracts requires some extra time to allow effective and sustainable internal restructuring of companies to which such contracts were directly awarded in the past. Transitional measures are therefore necessary for contracts directly awarded between the date of entry into force of this Regulation and 3 December 2019hey should therefore already take action to phase-in this form of tendering, although it is not until 2029 that all public service contracts in the field of public rail passenger transport have to be awarded in accordance with the procurement procedures laid down in this Regulation.
