Recital 6
Recital 6
(6) In order to ensure the future development and efficient operation of the railway system, a distinction should be made between the provision of transport services and the operation of infrastructure. Given this situation, it is necessary for these two activities to be managed separately and to have separate accounts. A separate personnel policy is also very important in order to ensure the efficient functioning of the European railway area.

Recital 26 a (new)
(26a) It is still the case that, too often, the granting of licences for railway undertakings’ rolling stock is unjustifiably impeded, which distorts market access. A strong remit for the European Railway Agency in this respect is therefore appropriate. The Commission is therefore called upon, as part of the review of Regulation (EC) No 881/2004, to investigate whether the European Railway Agency’s remit can be expanded in this regard.
