The purpose of this paper is to set out what measures, both the Member States and infrastructure managers, should take in order to find the right balance between financial equilibrium and an appropriate level of rail infrastructure services. Special attention is given to the use of multi-annual contracts, which the EU rail infrastructure Directives allow for.

To recall, multi-annual contracts are concluded for at least three years, with payments, decided in advance, covering the entire contract duration. The Commission is of the view that it would be useful if this approach were applied more widely on the basis of existing best practices. The use of multi-annual contracts varies considerably across the Member States. Roughly half neither use nor plan to make use of them. Some Member States provide no finance for rail infrastructure maintenance, others are in the process of negotiating contracts for the first time. An increasing number of Member States plan to introduce them, having put in place the requirements under the first railway package.

In 2006, expenditure on maintenance per kilometre of track, ranged from as little as EUR 220 in Slovakia and EUR 16 000 in Poland to up to EUR 160 000 in Germany and EUR 360 000 in the United Kingdom. This large discrepancy, over and above differences in cost levels, may imply that in some cases maintenance is not sustainable, whereas, in other cases, infrastructure managers may not have exploited cost reduction potentials in the same way all over Europe.

Multi-annual contracts represent a long-term financing arrangement for infrastructure maintenance. Stakeholder workshops concluded that multi-annual contracts lead to more informed trade-offs between taxpayers, on the one hand, and users, on the other, between maintenance and the quality of the network and between short-term maintenance and renewal.

Bearing the above in mind, the paper proposes that in future action should be based on three levels: (i) the Member States; (ii) infrastructure managers and (iii) regulatory bodies. Best practice will require that the:

Member States conclude multi-annual contracts with their infrastructure managers. In cases where such contracts do not exist, Member States should provide for at least one infrastructure manager and to conclude a three-year minimum contract with them; Member States , and their infrastructure managers, should conclude multi-annual contracts that are consistent with their national strategic transport plans and the infrastructure manager’s business plan. The same must apply to infrastructure franchises and for any framework contracts between railway undertakings and infrastructure managers; Member States should consult stakeholders on any proposal for multi-annual contracts before letting a new contract or renegotiating existing provisions; Member States should reduce costs and charges for the provision of infrastructure and use. To this end, the Member States should agree, monitor and enforce quantified cost reduction targets for a three year minimum period; infrastructure managers should measure track condition at least once a year on all their lines, and more frequently, on their main lines; infrastructure managers should define and publish indicators that allow them to assess and predict infrastructure quality and performance on an annual bases throughout the length of the multi-annual contract; Member States should interfere in infrastructure management in cases provided for in the contract and the manager should be given a broad degree of managerial independence; infrastructure managers should report, in their network statements, which lines have not been properly maintained and in cases where the quality is deemed to be in decline. This information should be timely enough to allow for prompt action and to act as an early warning system for users; independent body should be tasked with monitoring compliance with a multi-annual contract and with mediating between the parties to the multi-annual contract in the vent of any dispute.

On a final point, multi-annual contracts should be a precursor for making better use of competitive tendering for infrastructure services. Given that it will be difficult to put an entire national network out to tender, the tendering process may involve an increasing number of infrastructure managers, network statements, charging systems and access conditions. To minimise any possible negative effects, safeguard measures should be taken that allow for simple, non-discriminatory access rules and that are fully compatible with competition rules. At this stage, the Commission will consider whether or not to include a number of the previous recommendations in its proposal for recasting the first rail package, due in 2008.

Details

Adoption of the railway packages is based on the fact that, in spite of efforts to promote the use of rail transport across the EU, efforts are failing. Two railway packages have already been agreed and a third is in the process of being negotiated. This Report focuses exclusively on the “first railway package”, adopted in 2001. The first package consists of three Directives: Directive 2001/12/EC, 2001/13/EC and 2001/14/EC. Although separate they are closely inter-linked and share the common objective of opening up the EU’s internal market to the railway sector. Focusing exclusively on international freight transport, the first railway package enables any railway undertaking, licensed in accordance with Community criteria, to have access to the internal market’s railway infrastructure on fair, non-discriminatory terms as well as allowing them to offer their services across the EU.

Transposition of the Directives was due to have taken place by 15 March 2003 for the EU-15 and by 1 May 2004 for eight of the ten new EU Member States who operate a railway infrastructure. By 1 January 2006, 24 out of the 25 Member States had formally transposed the Directives of the first railway package into their national legislation, with Luxembourg committing itself to implementing the package in the first half of 2006.

Given that failure to implement the Directives has serious repercussions, the Commission has not hesitated in starting infringement proceedings against those countries who are in breach of their obligations vis-à-vis the first railway package. Implementation, the Commission stresses, must be done uniformly and to the letter, if the Directive’s objectives are to be realised.

This Report offers a global evaluation of the Directive’s transposition. The details are set out in Annex to the Report. In summary, the Commission finds that:

- On the separation of accounts, the reform process is not yet complete. In many cases the accounts fail to comply with the Directive’s specifications. The Commission urges that the 2005 and 2006 accounts be published according to the Directive’s requirements.

- On the separation between essential functions, work still remains to be done in this area in many of the Member States.

- On the creation of an independent regulatory body, the Commission stresses the importance of monitoring the railway market independently and the need to have an independent arbitrator on disputes between the infrastructure operator and the railway undertakings. The Report finds that this body does not, in all cases, have the human, financial and administrative resources needed for it to fulfil this function.

- On the granting of infrastructure access rights, the Commission encourages the gradual introduction of standard contracts between the infrastructure manager and the railway undertaking(s).

- On the introduction of a charging system, the Report stresses the importance of not promoting cross-funding between freight trains and passenger trains through the infrastructure charging system.

Since the adoption of the first railway package in 2001 figures indicate that railways’ share of the freight market has been stabilising in the EU-25. It is not insignificant that the best performing Member States, in terms of rail freight use, are those who first reformed their railway industries.

To conclude, the Report notes that the railway industry, which has been in permanent decline since 1970, has managed to stabilise the volumes transported. In some Member States, freight rail has even managed to take away market share from the roads. Similarly, the fall in employment has also been halted. The Commission believes that implementation of the first railway package by the Member States is well underway but that more needs to be done for it to be complete. It calls on the Member States to do more towards:

- completing their restructuring programmes and to ensure the separation of accounts and essential tasks;

- establishing rail infrastructure charging;

- creating the necessary independent administrative infrastructure needed to implement the first railway packages’ provisions;

- clarifying national regional transport authorities’ financial ties with the railway undertakings;

- prohibiting cross-subsidisation between freight and passenger transport operations; and

- creating transparent requirements for accessing training centres and the awarding of safety certificates.

The Commission calls on infrastructure managers to:

- improve the content and visibility of their network statements;

- set charges based on real costs; and

- co-operate at a European level on the granting of international paths and to establish harmonised conditions for infrastructure access based on standard contracts.

In the meantime, the Commission will observe the market situation closely and will take action in cases of breaches by starting infringement procedures and/or proposing amendments to the existing Directives in cases of persistent short-comings.

Two railway packages have already been agreed and a third is in the process of being negotiated. This Report focuses exclusively on the “first railway package”, adopted in 2001. The first package consists of three Directives: Directive 2001/12/EC, 2001/13/EC and 2001/14/EC. Although separate they are closely inter-linked and share the common objective of opening up the EU’s internal market to the railway sector. Focusing exclusively on international freight transport, the first railway package enables any railway undertaking, licensed in accordance with Community criteria, to have access to the internal market’s railway infrastructure on fair, non-discriminatory terms as well as allowing them to offer their services across the EU. Transposition of the Directives was due to have taken place by 15 March 2003 for the EU-15 and by 1 May 2004 for eight of the ten new EU Member States who operate a railway infrastructure. By 1 January 2006, 24 out of the 25 Member States had formally transposed the Directives of the first railway package into their national legislation, with Luxembourg committing itself to implementing the package in the first half of 2006. Given that failure to implement the Directives has serious repercussions, the Commission has not hesitated in starting infringement proceedings against those countries who are in breach of their obligations vis-à-vis the first railway package. Implementation, the Commission stresses, must be done uniformly and to the letter, if the Directive’s objectives are to be realised. This Report offers a global evaluation of the Directive’s transposition. The details are set out in Annex to the Report. In summary, the Commission finds that: - On the separation of accounts, the reform process is not yet complete. In many cases the accounts fail to comply with the Directive’s specifications. The Commission urges that the 2005 and 2006 accounts be published according to the Directive’s requirements. - On the separation between essential functions, work still remains to be done in this area in many of the Member States. - On the creation of an independent regulatory body, the Commission stresses the importance of monitoring the railway market independently and the need to have an independent arbitrator on disputes between the infrastructure operator and the railway undertakings. The Report finds that this body does not, in all cases, have the human, financial and administrative resources needed for it to fulfil this function. - On the granting of infrastructure access rights, the Commission encourages the gradual introduction of standard contracts between the infrastructure manager and the railway undertaking(s). - On the introduction of a charging system, the Report stresses the importance of not promoting cross-funding between freight trains and passenger trains through the infrastructure charging system. Since the adoption of the first railway package in 2001 figures indicate that railways’ share of the freight market has been stabilising in the EU-25. It is not insignificant that the best performing Member States, in terms of rail freight use, are those who first reformed their railway industries. To conclude, the Report notes that the railway industry, which has been in permanent decline since 1970, has managed to stabilise the volumes transported. In some Member States, freight rail has even managed to take away market share from the roads. Similarly, the fall in employment has also been halted. The Commission believes that implementation of the first railway package by the Member States is well underway but that more needs to be done for it to be complete. It calls on the Member States to do more towards: - completing their restructuring programmes and to ensure the separation of accounts and essential tasks; - establishing rail infrastructure charging; - creating the necessary independent administrative infrastructure needed to implement the first railway packages’ provisions; - clarifying national regional transport authorities’ financial ties with the railway undertakings; - prohibiting cross-subsidisation between freight and passenger transport operations; and - creating transparent requirements for accessing training centres and the awarding of safety certificates. The Commission calls on infrastructure managers to: - improve the content and visibility of their network statements; - set charges based on real costs; and - co-operate at a European level on the granting of international paths and to establish harmonised conditions for infrastructure access based on standard contracts. In the meantime, the Commission will observe the market situation closely and will take action in cases of breaches by starting infringement procedures and/or proposing amendments to the existing Directives in cases of persistent short-comings. type: Follow-up document body: EC

Special attention is given to the use of multi-annual contracts, which the EU rail infrastructure Directives allow for. To recall, multi-annual contracts are concluded for at least three years, with payments, decided in advance, covering the entire contract duration. The Commission is of the view that it would be useful if this approach were applied more widely on the basis of existing best practices. The use of multi-annual contracts varies considerably across the Member States. Roughly half neither use nor plan to make use of them. Some Member States provide no finance for rail infrastructure maintenance, others are in the process of negotiating contracts for the first time. An increasing number of Member States plan to introduce them, having put in place the requirements under the first railway package. In 2006, expenditure on maintenance per kilometre of track, ranged from as little as EUR 220 in Slovakia and EUR 16 000 in Poland to up to EUR 160 000 in Germany and EUR 360 000 in the United Kingdom. This large discrepancy, over and above differences in cost levels, may imply that in some cases maintenance is not sustainable, whereas, in other cases, infrastructure managers may not have exploited cost reduction potentials in the same way all over Europe. Multi-annual contracts represent a long-term financing arrangement for infrastructure maintenance. Stakeholder workshops concluded that multi-annual contracts lead to more informed trade-offs between taxpayers, on the one hand, and users, on the other, between maintenance and the quality of the network and between short-term maintenance and renewal. Bearing the above in mind, the paper proposes that in future action should be based on three levels: (i) the Member States; (ii) infrastructure managers and (iii) regulatory bodies. Best practice will require that the: Member States conclude multi-annual contracts with their infrastructure managers. In cases where such contracts do not exist, Member States should provide for at least one infrastructure manager and to conclude a three-year minimum contract with them; Member States , and their infrastructure managers, should conclude multi-annual contracts that are consistent with their national strategic transport plans and the infrastructure manager’s business plan. The same must apply to infrastructure franchises and for any framework contracts between railway undertakings and infrastructure managers; Member States should consult stakeholders on any proposal for multi-annual contracts before letting a new contract or renegotiating existing provisions; Member States should reduce costs and charges for the provision of infrastructure and use. To this end, the Member States should agree, monitor and enforce quantified cost reduction targets for a three year minimum period; infrastructure managers should measure track condition at least once a year on all their lines, and more frequently, on their main lines; infrastructure managers should define and publish indicators that allow them to assess and predict infrastructure quality and performance on an annual bases throughout the length of the multi-annual contract; Member States should interfere in infrastructure management in cases provided for in the contract and the manager should be given a broad degree of managerial independence; infrastructure managers should report, in their network statements, which lines have not been properly maintained and in cases where the quality is deemed to be in decline. This information should be timely enough to allow for prompt action and to act as an early warning system for users; independent body should be tasked with monitoring compliance with a multi-annual contract and with mediating between the parties to the multi-annual contract in the vent of any dispute. On a final point, multi-annual contracts should be a precursor for making better use of competitive tendering for infrastructure services. Given that it will be difficult to put an entire national network out to tender, the tendering process may involve an increasing number of infrastructure managers, network statements, charging systems and access conditions. To minimise any possible negative effects, safeguard measures should be taken that allow for simple, non-discriminatory access rules and that are fully compatible with competition rules. At this stage, the Commission will consider whether or not to include a number of the previous recommendations in its proposal for recasting the first rail package, due in 2008. type: Follow-up document body: EC
