PURPOSE: to improve the quality of rail passenger\ntransport services and their operational efficiency (fourth\nrailway package).
\nPROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament\nand of the Council (amendment of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 on\npublic passenger transport services by rail and by\nroad).
\nPARLIAMENTS ROLE: Parliament decides in\naccordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal\nfooting with the Council.
\nBACKGROUND: in its White Paper on transport policy of 28 March\n2011, the Commission announced its intention to\ncomplete the internal railway market, allowing railway undertakings\nof the Union to provide all types of rail transport services\nwithout unnecessary technical and administrative\nbarriers.
\nIn the last decade, three legislative railway\npackages have aimed at opening up national markets and making\nrailways more competitive and interoperable at EU level. Despite\nthe new EU legislation, the modal share (6%) of rail in intra-EU\ntransport has remained modest.
\nRegulation 1370/2007 on public passenger transport\nservices by rail and by road set out\na framework for awarding public service contracts and compensating\nfor public service obligations but not a common approach to\nawarding contracts for rail passenger transport. Given that no\ncommon EU rules on the award of such contracts apply, some Member\nStates have introduced competitive tendering for these contracts,\nwhile others award them directly. This patchwork of regulatory\nsystems in the EU makes it difficult for railway companies to\nexploit the full potential of operating in an Internal\nMarket.
\nThis proposal forms part of the Fourth Railway\nPackage put forward\nby the Commission. It should result in the competitive tendering\nof public service contracts with a view to improving the\nquality of rail passenger services and enhancing their operational\nefficiency, thereby improving the competitiveness and\nattractiveness of rail vis-à-vis other modes and developing\nfurther the Single European Railway Area.
\nIMPACT ASSESSMENT: the impact assessment showed that a\ncombination of the following would fare best in terms of economic,\nenvironmental and social impacts, generating a net present value of\nbetween EUR 21 and EUR 29 billion from 2019 to 2035: (i) broadly\ndefined open access rights subject to a test of their impact on the\neconomic equilibrium of public service contracts; (ii)\ncompetitively awarded public service contracts; (iii) voluntary\nnational integrated ticketing systems; and (iv) Member States must\nensure non-discriminatory access to suitable rolling stock for\nrailway undertakings which want to participate in a public tender\n procedure.
\nLEGAL BASIS: Article 91 of the Treaty on the\nFunctioning of the European Union.
\nCONTENT: this proposal to amend Regulation (EC) No\n1370/2007 encompasses common rules on the award of public service\ncontracts for passenger transport by rail, together with\naccompanying measures to increase the success of competitive\ntendering procedures. The main elements of the proposal are as\nfollows:
\nThe proposal has to be seen in connection with the\nproposal to amend Directive\n2012/34/EU, which introduce open access rights\nfor railway undertakings and strengthen provisions on\nnon-discriminatory access to the rail infrastructure.
\nThe fourth railway package also includes the proposals\nto recast Directive 2004/49/EC (rail safety) and Directive 2008/57/EC\n(interoperability), as well as a proposal enhancing the tasks of\nthe European Railway\nAgency.
\nBUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS:\nthere are no implications for the Union budget.

\nBUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS:\nthere are no implications for the Union budget.
\nThe Committee on Transport and Tourism adopted the\nreport by Mathieu GROSCH (EPP, BE) on the proposal for a regulation\nof the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation\n(EC) No 1370/2007 concerning the opening of the market for domestic\npassenger transport services by rail.
\nThe parliamentary committee recommended that the\nEuropean Parliaments position adopted at first reading under\nthe ordinary legislative procedure should be to amend the\nCommissions proposal as follows:
\nMultimodal and sustainable public transport plans and\npublic service obligations: these\nplans should promote social and territorial cohesion. The\nrequirements for these transport plans should not go beyond what\nis necessary. Detailed requirements should remain at the\ndiscretion of the competent authority in accordance with the\nprinciple of subsidiarity. Transport plans should consist\nof:
\nVolume of public service contracts for rail passenger\ntransport: the Commission proposed\nthat the volume of public service contracts should not exceed 10\nmillion train-kms or one-third of the total national public rail\npassenger transport volume under public service contract. Members\nsuggested that this volume should be from 1 to 4 depending\non the volume of the national public rail passenger transport\nvolume under public service contract: (i) does not exceed 20\nmillion train-km; (ii) is between 20 and 100 million train-km;\n(iii) is between 100 and 200 million train-km; (iv) is over 200\nmillion train-km.
\nCompulsory content of public service contracts: the\ncompetent authorities should require the selected public service\noperators to grant staff working\nconditions on the basis of binding national, regional or local\nsocial standards and/or to implement the compulsory transfer of\nstaff in case of change of operator.
\nPublic service operators would have to comply with the\napplicable representative collective agreements and ensure decent\nemployment and working conditions.
\nAward of public service contracts: competent authorities responsible for establishing\ntransport plans should be able to decide to proceed to the direct award of public service\ncontracts concerning public rail passenger transport services,\nsubject to certain conditions.
\nIn particular, the public transport plan should\ncontain requirements applicable for the entire duration of the\ncontract concerning the following: (i) evolution of passenger\nvolumes; (ii) punctuality of services; (iii) cost-efficiency in\nterms of capital productivity; (iv) frequency of train operations;\n(v) customer satisfaction; (vi) quality of rolling\nstock.
\nThe award of public service contracts concerning\ntransport by road and other track-based modes such as metro,\ntramways or tram-train systems should comply with the Regulation\nfrom 3 December 2019.
\nBy 3 December 2022, the competent authorities\nresponsible for establishing the public transport plans should be\nentrusted with all powers necessary for awarding public service\ncontracts.
\nPublic service contracts for public passenger\ntransport by rail that do not comply with the Regulation, directly\nawarded before 3 December 2022, should in any event expire at the\nlatest 10 years from the entry into force of the\nRegulation.
\nThe European Parliament adopted by 386 votes to 206\nwith 78 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a\nregulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending\nRegulation (EC) No 1370/2007 concerning the opening of the market\nfor domestic passenger transport services by rail.
\nParliaments position adopted at first reading\nunder the ordinary legislative procedure amended the\nCommissions proposal as follows:
\nMarket-opening: Parliament stressed that the completion of the\nopening of the Union railway market should be seen as\nessential in order to enable rail to become a credible\nalternative to other modes of transport in terms of price and\nquality.
\nMultimodal and sustainable public transport plans\nand public service obligations: the\nCommission proposal provided that competent authorities shall\nestablish and regularly update public passenger transport\nplans covering all relevant transport modes for the territory for\nwhich they are responsible.
\nParliament stated that these plans should promote\nsocial and territorial cohesion. The requirements for these\ntransport plans should not go beyond what is necessary.\nDetailed requirements should remain at the discretion of\nthe competent authority in accordance with the principle\nof subsidiarity. Transport plans should consist of:
\n\n· \nbasic requirements to be fulfilled by public\ntransport offer, including, inter alia, accessibility for persons\nwith disabilities, and modal and intermodal interconnections at\nmain connecting hubs;
\n\n· \nfor public rail passenger transport, efficiency\ncriteria including inter alia modal share of public transport,\npunctuality, cost-efficiency, frequency of services, customer\nsatisfaction and the quality of rolling stock;
\n\n· \nquality and safety standards as well as control\naspects regarding the rolling stock, infrastructure and services,\nincluding information;
\n\n· \nprinciples of tariff policy, such as the use of\nsocial tariffs;
\napplicable rules regarding passenger rights, social\nand employment conditions, environmental protection and the\nestablishment of environmental objectives.
\nThe specifications of public service\nobligations and the related compensation of the net\nfinancial effect of public service obligations shall achieve the\nobjectives of the public transport plan\nin a cost-effective manner and shall financially\nsustain the provision of public passenger transport in the long\nterm.
\nVolume of public service contracts for rail passenger\ntransport: Parliament asked that\nthe volume of a public service contract for passenger\ntransport by rail which will be awarded on the basis of a\ncompetitive tendering procedure should be set in a way\nthat facilitates competition between small bidders,\nnew entrants and the incumbent operator for such contracts\nwhile allowing competent authorities some flexibility to optimise\nthe volume according to economic and operational\nconsiderations.
\nThe Commission proposed that the volume of public\nservice contracts should not exceed 10 million train-kms or\none-third of the total national public rail passenger transport\nvolume under public service contract. Members suggested that this\nvolume should be from 1 to 4 depending on the\nvolume of the national public rail passenger transport volume under\npublic service contract: (i) does not exceed 20 million train-km;\n(ii) is between 20 and 100 million train-km; (iii) is between 100\nand 200 million train-km; (iv) is over 200 million\ntrain-km.
\nCompulsory content of public service\ncontracts: competent authorities\nshall make available to all interested parties relevant information\nfor the preparation of an offer under a competitive tender\nprocedure, whilst protecting business secrets
\nThey should require the selected public service\noperators to grant staff working conditions on the\nbasis of binding national, regional or local social\nstandards and/or to implement the compulsory transfer of\nstaff in case of change of operator.
\nPublic service operators would have to comply with the\napplicable representative collective agreements and ensure decent\nemployment and working conditions regardless of the award\nprocedure.
\nAward of public service contracts: until the end of the transitional period\nreferred to in Article 8(2), Member States and, if permitted by\nnational law, competent authorities may exclude from competitive\ntendering procedures for the award of public service contracts by\nrail organised by the competent authorities in their territory, any\nrailway undertaking or operator or any subsidiary directly or\nindirectly controlled by a railway undertaking or its holding\ncompany under certain specified conditions.
\nCompetent authorities responsible for establishing\ntransport plans should be able to decide to proceed to the\ndirect award of public service contracts concerning public\nrail passenger transport services, subject to certain\nconditions.
\nIn particular, the public transport plan should\ncontain requirements applicable for the entire duration of the\ncontract concerning the following: (i) evolution of passenger\nvolumes; (ii) punctuality of services; (iii) cost-efficiency in\nterms of capital productivity; (iv) frequency of train operations;\n(v) customer satisfaction; (vi) quality of rolling\nstock.
\nThe competent authority must publish no later than 18\nmonths before the start of the contract how these requirements are\nto be complied with through the direct award of a public service\ncontract. If a complaint of an interested railway operator or\nundertaking regarding the direct award of the contract is filed,\nthe regulatory body evaluates the reasons provided by the competent\nauthority and takes a decision no later than two months after the\ncomplaint was filed. The duration of such contracts shall not\nexceed nine years.
\nTransitional arrangements: the award of public service contracts concerning\ntransport by road and other track-based modes such as metro,\ntramways or tram-train systems should comply with the Regulation\nfrom 3 December 2019.
\nPublic service contracts concerning public\npassenger transport by rail shall be awarded from 3\nDecember 2022.
\nBy 3 December 2022, the competent\nauthorities responsible for establishing the public transport plans\nshould be entrusted with all powers necessary for awarding public\nservice contracts.

\nPURPOSE: to improve the quality of rail passenger\ntransport services and their operational efficiency (fourth\nrailway package).
\nPROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament\nand of the Council (amendment of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 on\npublic passenger transport services by rail and by\nroad).
\nPARLIAMENTS ROLE: Parliament decides in\naccordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal\nfooting with the Council.
\nBACKGROUND: in its White Paper on transport policy of 28 March\n2011, the Commission announced its intention to\ncomplete the internal railway market, allowing railway undertakings\nof the Union to provide all types of rail transport services\nwithout unnecessary technical and administrative\nbarriers.
\nIn the last decade, three legislative railway\npackages have aimed at opening up national markets and making\nrailways more competitive and interoperable at EU level. Despite\nthe new EU legislation, the modal share (6%) of rail in intra-EU\ntransport has remained modest.
\nRegulation 1370/2007 on public passenger transport\nservices by rail and by road set out\na framework for awarding public service contracts and compensating\nfor public service obligations but not a common approach to\nawarding contracts for rail passenger transport. Given that no\ncommon EU rules on the award of such contracts apply, some Member\nStates have introduced competitive tendering for these contracts,\nwhile others award them directly. This patchwork of regulatory\nsystems in the EU makes it difficult for railway companies to\nexploit the full potential of operating in an Internal\nMarket.
\nThis proposal forms part of the Fourth Railway\nPackage put forward\nby the Commission. It should result in the competitive tendering\nof public service contracts with a view to improving the\nquality of rail passenger services and enhancing their operational\nefficiency, thereby improving the competitiveness and\nattractiveness of rail vis-à-vis other modes and developing\nfurther the Single European Railway Area.
\nIMPACT ASSESSMENT: the impact assessment showed that a\ncombination of the following would fare best in terms of economic,\nenvironmental and social impacts, generating a net present value of\nbetween EUR 21 and EUR 29 billion from 2019 to 2035: (i) broadly\ndefined open access rights subject to a test of their impact on the\neconomic equilibrium of public service contracts; (ii)\ncompetitively awarded public service contracts; (iii) voluntary\nnational integrated ticketing systems; and (iv) Member States must\nensure non-discriminatory access to suitable rolling stock for\nrailway undertakings which want to participate in a public tender\n procedure.
\nLEGAL BASIS: Article 91 of the Treaty on the\nFunctioning of the European Union.
\nCONTENT: this proposal to amend Regulation (EC) No\n1370/2007 encompasses common rules on the award of public service\ncontracts for passenger transport by rail, together with\naccompanying measures to increase the success of competitive\ntendering procedures. The main elements of the proposal are as\nfollows:
\nThe proposal has to be seen in connection with the\nproposal to amend Directive\n2012/34/EU, which introduce open access rights\nfor railway undertakings and strengthen provisions on\nnon-discriminatory access to the rail infrastructure.
\nThe fourth railway package also includes the proposals\nto recast Directive 2004/49/EC (rail safety) and Directive 2008/57/EC\n(interoperability), as well as a proposal enhancing the tasks of\nthe European Railway\nAgency.
\nBUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS:\nthere are no implications for the Union budget.

\nBUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS:\nthere are no implications for the Union budget.
\nMinisters held a policy debate on two proposals\nto improve rail services in the EU. The proposals are part of the\n\"political\" or \"market\" pillar of the fourth railway\npackage.
\nThe Council debate focussed on key issues such as\ndomestic market opening, non-discriminatory access to networks,\nfinancial transparency and the awarding of public service\ncontracts.
\nEncouraging investment and innovation and rendering\nthe railway sector more dynamic and\ncustomer-oriented: many ministers\nagreed with this objective but questioned whether market opening\nwould be the best one to achieve this given that EU countries are\nvery different in terms of their population, geography, markets and\nnational rail systems.
\nCertain Member States were in favour of market opening\nbut even many of them expressed the need to consider certain\naspects such as good preparation, the need to do this progressively\nor the need for a market analysis or a study on the potential\neconomic or social impact.
\nCherry-picking: many\nMember States said they were against \"cherry picking\" i.e.\ncommercial companies should not be allowed to choose profitable\nlines to the detriment of loss-making lines that are in the public\ninterest.
\nTransition period: a\nlarge number of member states were in favour of a transition period\nfor any new market opening measures. Several delegations mentioned\nthe need to let the current contracts run their course.
\nGovernance: a few\nministers said that it should be up to the Member States to choose\ntheir own model. Some ministers said no additional measures would\nbe necessary in this area. Some others mentioned the need to ensure\ntransparency and oversight.
\nPublic service contracts: most Member States considered it necessary to retain\nthe possibility to award public-service contracts directly. Many\ndelegations mentioned the need for public services to include both\nprofitable and non-profitable lines.
\nAccess to rolling stock:\na few ministers said non-discriminatory access to rolling stock\nshould be ensured for railway undertakings, whereas a number of\ndelegations stressed the principle of subsidiarity in this\nconnection. Others said no budget obligations should be\ncreated.
\nA large number of delegations considered it important\nto make progress on and conclude the technical pillar as\nswiftly as possible.
\nOn the basis of the discussion, the Council will go on\nworking towards a strategic, shared approach to the political\npillar with a view to agreeing on this shared approach by the\nDecember Council.
\nThe Council held a\npublic policy debate on two proposals to improve rail\nservices in the EU (fourth railway package). The proposals aim to\nliberalise passenger services and strengthen the governance of\nrailway infrastructure.
\nUnder the market\npillar, two Commission proposals are under discussion at the\nCouncil:
\n· \nthe proposal for a Directive 2012/34/EU\nestablishing a Single European Railway Area, as regards the opening\nof the market for domestic passenger transport services by rail and\nthe governance of the railway infrastructure (draft\nGovernance Directive);
\n· \nthe proposal for a Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007\nconcerning the opening of the market for domestic passenger\ntransport services by rail (draft Public Service Obligation\nRegulation).
\nMinisters were requested\nto express their views on the level of requirements applying to the\nvarious functions of infrastructure managers, the role of\nregulatory bodies and access to rolling stock (trains).
\nAs regards the draft\nPublic Service Obligation Regulation,\nthe debate focused on the following issues:
\nLiberalisation of the\nrail market: a large number of\nministers stressed that a \"one size fits all\" approach would not\nbring appropriate answers to the proposed liberalisation of the\nrail market. An important factor to be taken into account was the\nsize of the market.
\nSeveral Member States\nargued that there was no evidence that market opening would be\nbeneficial to small markets. On the contrary, they said, it could\nhave negative social and budgetary consequences. Direct award\nshould thus continue for small markets.
\nAccess to rolling\nstock: Member States thought that any\nEuropean rules established to ensure effective and\nnon-discriminatory access to rolling stock should neither be too\ndetailed nor too strict. It should be up to each Member State and\nits authorities to select appropriate measures taking into account\ntheir national situation. The presidency asked the question as to\nwhat Member States or their competent authorities should do in\norder to ensure effective and non-discriminatory access to rolling\nstock while limiting the impact on national budgets.
\nThe presidency stated\nthat it was committed to reaching an agreement with the European\nParliament on the technical pillar, while preparing for a\ngeneral approach on both market pillar proposals at the June\n2015 Transport Council.
\nThe Council adopted its position at first reading with\na view to the adoption of a Regulation amending Regulation (EC) No\n1370/2007 concerning the opening of the market for domestic\npassenger transport services by rail.
\nThe main objectives of the proposal are to improve the\nquality of domestic rail passenger transport services in cases\nwhere such services are offered as a public service and to enhance\nthe operational efficiency of these services.
\nCompetitive tendering:\nthe Council considered that competitive tendering should be the\npreferred option when public passenger services by rail are\nprocured. However, to effectively attain the main objectives of the\nproposal, derogations to the principle of competitive tendering,\ni.e. direct awards, should be allowed in certain cases and subject\nto specified conditions.
\nDirectly awarded: unless\nprohibited by national law, the competent authority may decide to\naward public service contracts for public passenger transport\nservices by rail directly:
\nWhere the competent authority decides to award a\npublic service contract directly, it shall lay down measurable,\ntransparent and verifiable performance requirements. Such\nrequirements shall be included in the contract. The performance\nrequirements shall in particular cover punctuality of services,\nfrequency of train operations, quality of rolling stock and\ntransport capacity for passengers.
\nThe competent authority shall periodically assess\nwhether the railway undertaking has achieved its targets for\nmeeting the performance requirements as set in the contract and\nshall make its findings public. Such periodic assessments shall\ntake place at least every five years.
\nIn the event of a disruption of services or the\nimmediate risk of such a situation, the competent authority may\ntake emergency measures. The emergency measures shall take\nthe form of a direct award or a formal agreement to extend a public\nservice contract or a requirement to provide certain public service\nobligations.
\nSpecifications of public service obligations\n(PSO): the Council position sets\nclear rules for the definition and specifications of PSO. The text\nalso sets out general criteria to be used by competent\nauthorities to define public service obligations. These\nspecifications should, where possible, generate positive network\neffects, inter alia in terms of improved quality of services,\nsocial and territorial cohesion or the overall efficiency of the\npublic transport system.
\nUpper limits on the value of direct\nawards: the de minimis thresholds for\ndirectly awarded public service contracts were adapted by the\nCouncil.
\nUnless prohibited by national law, the competent\nauthority may decide to award public service contracts\ndirectly:
\n(a) where their average annual value is estimated at\nless than EUR 1 000 000 or, in the case of a public service\ncontract including public passenger transport services by rail,\nless than EUR 7 500 000; or
\n(b) where they concern the annual provision of less\nthan 300 000 kilometres of public passenger transport services\nor, in the case of a public service contract including public\npassenger transport services by rail, less than 500 000\nkilometres.
\nAccess to rolling stock:\nwith a view to launching a competitive tendering procedure,\ncompetent authorities shall assess whether measures are necessary\nto ensure effective and non-discriminatory access to suitable\nrolling stock. The assessment report shall be made publicly\navailable. Competent authorities may decide, in accordance with\nnational law and in compliance with State aid rules, to take\nappropriate measures to ensure effective and non-discriminatory\naccess to suitable rolling stock.
\nRights and social obligations: with a view to an appropriate integration of social\nand labour requirements into procedures for the award of public\nservice contracts for public passenger transport services public\nservice operators should, in the performance of public service\ncontracts, comply with obligations in the field of social and\nlabour law that apply in the Member State where the public service\ncontract is awarded and that result from laws, regulations and\ndecisions, at both national and Union level, as well as from\napplicable collective agreements.
\nTransition period: the\nnew system will be introduced gradually. Competitive bidding for\npublic service contracts will start seven years after the legal\nacts are published. Public service contracts for public passenger\ntransport services by rail directly awarded on the basis of a\nprocedure other than a fair competitive procedure as of the date of\nentry into force of this amending Regulation until 2 December 2019\nmay continue until their expiry date.
\nThe Committee on Transport and Tourism adopted the\nrecommendation for second reading contained in the report by Wim\nVAN DE CAMP (EPP, NL) on the Council position at first reading with\na view to the adoption of a regulation of the European Parliament\nand of the Council amending Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 concerning\nthe opening of the market for domestic passenger transport services\nby rail.
\nThe committee recommended the European Parliament to\napprove the Council position at first reading without\namendment.
\nAs a reminder, the proposal is part of the market\npillar of the Fourth Railway Package which comprises three\nlegislative proposals.
\nThe general objective of the Commission proposal for\nan amendment of Regulation (EC) 1370/2007 is to improve the quality\nof rail passenger services and to enhance their operational\nefficiency.
\nTo attain the general objective, the Commission\nproposed to introduce mandatory competitive tendering for public\nservice contracts to intensify competitive pressure on domestic\nrail markets. The aim is to enhance the efficiency and to improve\nthe quality of rail passenger services. These measures are\naccompanied by provisions to ensure favourable framework conditions\nfor competitive tendering procedures, including rules on the access\nto rolling stock.
\nFollowing the adoption of Parliaments first\nreading position on 26 February 2014, interinstitutional\nnegotiations (aimed at an early second reading agreement) took\nplace, from October 2015 to April 2016, under the Luxembourg and\nthe Dutch Presidencies of the Council. After six rounds of\ntrilogues, Parliaments negotiating team reached an agreement\nwith the Council Presidency on 19 April 2016.
\nThe explanatory statement accompanying the\nrecommendation recalled the main achievements of the European\nParliament in the framework of the conclusion of the overall\nagreement with the Council:
\n\n \ni. \nin case of exceptional circumstances;
\n\n \nii. \nwhen the average annual value or annual\nprovision of public passenger transport services by rail falls\nbelow the thresholds defined in the Regulation (EUR 7,5\nmillion/annum or 500.000 km);
\n\n \niii. \nwhen the competent authority considers that the\ndirect award is justified by relevant structural and geographical\ncharacteristics of the market and network concerned, in particular\nits size, demand characteristics, complexity of the network, its\ntechnical and geographical isolation and the services covered by\nthe contract1, and where such a contract would result in an\nimprovement in quality of services and/or cost efficiency compared\nto the previously awarded public service contract;
\nThe committee also approved a statement\n(annexed to the legislative resolution) which stipulated that\nMember States must fully respect Directive\n2001/23/EC relating to the safeguarding of employees' rights in\nthe event of transfers of undertakings and are entitled to go\nbeyond the application of this Directive taking additional measures\nfor staff protection in compliance with Union law, such as\nrequiring a mandatory transfer of staff even if Directive\n2001/23/EC would not apply.
\nThe European Parliament adopted at second reading\nfollowing the ordinary legislative procedure, a legislative\nresolution on the Council position at first reading with a view to\nthe adoption of a regulation of the European Parliament and of the\nCouncil amending Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 concerning the\nopening of the market for domestic passenger transport services by\nrail.
\nParliament approved the Council position at first\nreading without amendment.

\nIt should be noted that a proposal to reject the\nCouncil proposal, tabled by the EFDD, Greens/EFA, ENF and GUE/NGL\ngroups, was rejected by plenary by 330 votes to 354 with 23\nabstentions.
\nPURPOSE: to improve the quality of rail passenger\ntransport services and their operational efficiency (fourth\nrailway package).
\nPROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament\nand of the Council (amendment of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 on\npublic passenger transport services by rail and by\nroad).
\nPARLIAMENTS ROLE: Parliament decides in\naccordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal\nfooting with the Council.
\nBACKGROUND: in its White Paper on transport policy of 28 March\n2011, the Commission announced its intention to\ncomplete the internal railway market, allowing railway undertakings\nof the Union to provide all types of rail transport services\nwithout unnecessary technical and administrative\nbarriers.
\nIn the last decade, three legislative railway\npackages have aimed at opening up national markets and making\nrailways more competitive and interoperable at EU level. Despite\nthe new EU legislation, the modal share (6%) of rail in intra-EU\ntransport has remained modest.
\nRegulation 1370/2007 on public passenger transport\nservices by rail and by road set out\na framework for awarding public service contracts and compensating\nfor public service obligations but not a common approach to\nawarding contracts for rail passenger transport. Given that no\ncommon EU rules on the award of such contracts apply, some Member\nStates have introduced competitive tendering for these contracts,\nwhile others award them directly. This patchwork of regulatory\nsystems in the EU makes it difficult for railway companies to\nexploit the full potential of operating in an Internal\nMarket.
\nThis proposal forms part of the Fourth Railway\nPackage put forward\nby the Commission. It should result in the competitive tendering\nof public service contracts with a view to improving the\nquality of rail passenger services and enhancing their operational\nefficiency, thereby improving the competitiveness and\nattractiveness of rail vis-à-vis other modes and developing\nfurther the Single European Railway Area.
\nIMPACT ASSESSMENT: the impact assessment showed that a\ncombination of the following would fare best in terms of economic,\nenvironmental and social impacts, generating a net present value of\nbetween EUR 21 and EUR 29 billion from 2019 to 2035: (i) broadly\ndefined open access rights subject to a test of their impact on the\neconomic equilibrium of public service contracts; (ii)\ncompetitively awarded public service contracts; (iii) voluntary\nnational integrated ticketing systems; and (iv) Member States must\nensure non-discriminatory access to suitable rolling stock for\nrailway undertakings which want to participate in a public tender\n procedure.
\nLEGAL BASIS: Article 91 of the Treaty on the\nFunctioning of the European Union.
\nCONTENT: this proposal to amend Regulation (EC) No\n1370/2007 encompasses common rules on the award of public service\ncontracts for passenger transport by rail, together with\naccompanying measures to increase the success of competitive\ntendering procedures. The main elements of the proposal are as\nfollows:
\nThe proposal has to be seen in connection with the\nproposal to amend Directive\n2012/34/EU, which introduce open access rights\nfor railway undertakings and strengthen provisions on\nnon-discriminatory access to the rail infrastructure.
\nThe fourth railway package also includes the proposals\nto recast Directive 2004/49/EC (rail safety) and Directive 2008/57/EC\n(interoperability), as well as a proposal enhancing the tasks of\nthe European Railway\nAgency.
\nBUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS:\nthere are no implications for the Union budget.
\nThe Committee on Transport and Tourism adopted the\nreport by Mathieu GROSCH (EPP, BE) on the proposal for a regulation\nof the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation\n(EC) No 1370/2007 concerning the opening of the market for domestic\npassenger transport services by rail.
\nThe parliamentary committee recommended that the\nEuropean Parliaments position adopted at first reading under\nthe ordinary legislative procedure should be to amend the\nCommissions proposal as follows:
\nMultimodal and sustainable public transport plans and\npublic service obligations: these\nplans should promote social and territorial cohesion. The\nrequirements for these transport plans should not go beyond what\nis necessary. Detailed requirements should remain at the\ndiscretion of the competent authority in accordance with the\nprinciple of subsidiarity. Transport plans should consist\nof:
\nVolume of public service contracts for rail passenger\ntransport: the Commission proposed\nthat the volume of public service contracts should not exceed 10\nmillion train-kms or one-third of the total national public rail\npassenger transport volume under public service contract. Members\nsuggested that this volume should be from 1 to 4 depending\non the volume of the national public rail passenger transport\nvolume under public service contract: (i) does not exceed 20\nmillion train-km; (ii) is between 20 and 100 million train-km;\n(iii) is between 100 and 200 million train-km; (iv) is over 200\nmillion train-km.
\nCompulsory content of public service contracts: the\ncompetent authorities should require the selected public service\noperators to grant staff working\nconditions on the basis of binding national, regional or local\nsocial standards and/or to implement the compulsory transfer of\nstaff in case of change of operator.
\nPublic service operators would have to comply with the\napplicable representative collective agreements and ensure decent\nemployment and working conditions.
\nAward of public service contracts: competent authorities responsible for establishing\ntransport plans should be able to decide to proceed to the direct award of public service\ncontracts concerning public rail passenger transport services,\nsubject to certain conditions.
\nIn particular, the public transport plan should\ncontain requirements applicable for the entire duration of the\ncontract concerning the following: (i) evolution of passenger\nvolumes; (ii) punctuality of services; (iii) cost-efficiency in\nterms of capital productivity; (iv) frequency of train operations;\n(v) customer satisfaction; (vi) quality of rolling\nstock.
\nThe award of public service contracts concerning\ntransport by road and other track-based modes such as metro,\ntramways or tram-train systems should comply with the Regulation\nfrom 3 December 2019.
\nBy 3 December 2022, the competent authorities\nresponsible for establishing the public transport plans should be\nentrusted with all powers necessary for awarding public service\ncontracts.
\nPublic service contracts for public passenger\ntransport by rail that do not comply with the Regulation, directly\nawarded before 3 December 2022, should in any event expire at the\nlatest 10 years from the entry into force of the\nRegulation.
\nThe European Parliament adopted by 386 votes to 206\nwith 78 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a\nregulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending\nRegulation (EC) No 1370/2007 concerning the opening of the market\nfor domestic passenger transport services by rail.
\nParliaments position adopted at first reading\nunder the ordinary legislative procedure amended the\nCommissions proposal as follows:
\nMarket-opening: Parliament stressed that the completion of the\nopening of the Union railway market should be seen as\nessential in order to enable rail to become a credible\nalternative to other modes of transport in terms of price and\nquality.
\nMultimodal and sustainable public transport plans\nand public service obligations: the\nCommission proposal provided that competent authorities shall\nestablish and regularly update public passenger transport\nplans covering all relevant transport modes for the territory for\nwhich they are responsible.
\nParliament stated that these plans should promote\nsocial and territorial cohesion. The requirements for these\ntransport plans should not go beyond what is necessary.\nDetailed requirements should remain at the discretion of\nthe competent authority in accordance with the principle\nof subsidiarity. Transport plans should consist of:
\n\n· \nbasic requirements to be fulfilled by public\ntransport offer, including, inter alia, accessibility for persons\nwith disabilities, and modal and intermodal interconnections at\nmain connecting hubs;
\n\n· \nfor public rail passenger transport, efficiency\ncriteria including inter alia modal share of public transport,\npunctuality, cost-efficiency, frequency of services, customer\nsatisfaction and the quality of rolling stock;
\n\n· \nquality and safety standards as well as control\naspects regarding the rolling stock, infrastructure and services,\nincluding information;
\n\n· \nprinciples of tariff policy, such as the use of\nsocial tariffs;
\napplicable rules regarding passenger rights, social\nand employment conditions, environmental protection and the\nestablishment of environmental objectives.
\nThe specifications of public service\nobligations and the related compensation of the net\nfinancial effect of public service obligations shall achieve the\nobjectives of the public transport plan\nin a cost-effective manner and shall financially\nsustain the provision of public passenger transport in the long\nterm.
\nVolume of public service contracts for rail passenger\ntransport: Parliament asked that\nthe volume of a public service contract for passenger\ntransport by rail which will be awarded on the basis of a\ncompetitive tendering procedure should be set in a way\nthat facilitates competition between small bidders,\nnew entrants and the incumbent operator for such contracts\nwhile allowing competent authorities some flexibility to optimise\nthe volume according to economic and operational\nconsiderations.
\nThe Commission proposed that the volume of public\nservice contracts should not exceed 10 million train-kms or\none-third of the total national public rail passenger transport\nvolume under public service contract. Members suggested that this\nvolume should be from 1 to 4 depending on the\nvolume of the national public rail passenger transport volume under\npublic service contract: (i) does not exceed 20 million train-km;\n(ii) is between 20 and 100 million train-km; (iii) is between 100\nand 200 million train-km; (iv) is over 200 million\ntrain-km.
\nCompulsory content of public service\ncontracts: competent authorities\nshall make available to all interested parties relevant information\nfor the preparation of an offer under a competitive tender\nprocedure, whilst protecting business secrets
\nThey should require the selected public service\noperators to grant staff working conditions on the\nbasis of binding national, regional or local social\nstandards and/or to implement the compulsory transfer of\nstaff in case of change of operator.
\nPublic service operators would have to comply with the\napplicable representative collective agreements and ensure decent\nemployment and working conditions regardless of the award\nprocedure.
\nAward of public service contracts: until the end of the transitional period\nreferred to in Article 8(2), Member States and, if permitted by\nnational law, competent authorities may exclude from competitive\ntendering procedures for the award of public service contracts by\nrail organised by the competent authorities in their territory, any\nrailway undertaking or operator or any subsidiary directly or\nindirectly controlled by a railway undertaking or its holding\ncompany under certain specified conditions.
\nCompetent authorities responsible for establishing\ntransport plans should be able to decide to proceed to the\ndirect award of public service contracts concerning public\nrail passenger transport services, subject to certain\nconditions.
\nIn particular, the public transport plan should\ncontain requirements applicable for the entire duration of the\ncontract concerning the following: (i) evolution of passenger\nvolumes; (ii) punctuality of services; (iii) cost-efficiency in\nterms of capital productivity; (iv) frequency of train operations;\n(v) customer satisfaction; (vi) quality of rolling\nstock.
\nThe competent authority must publish no later than 18\nmonths before the start of the contract how these requirements are\nto be complied with through the direct award of a public service\ncontract. If a complaint of an interested railway operator or\nundertaking regarding the direct award of the contract is filed,\nthe regulatory body evaluates the reasons provided by the competent\nauthority and takes a decision no later than two months after the\ncomplaint was filed. The duration of such contracts shall not\nexceed nine years.
\nTransitional arrangements: the award of public service contracts concerning\ntransport by road and other track-based modes such as metro,\ntramways or tram-train systems should comply with the Regulation\nfrom 3 December 2019.
\nPublic service contracts concerning public\npassenger transport by rail shall be awarded from 3\nDecember 2022.
\nBy 3 December 2022, the competent\nauthorities responsible for establishing the public transport plans\nshould be entrusted with all powers necessary for awarding public\nservice contracts.
\nPublic service contracts for public passenger\ntransport by rail that do not comply with the Regulation, directly\nawarded before 3 December 2022, should in any event expire at the\nlatest 10 years from the entry into force of the\nRegulation.
\nMinisters held a policy debate on two proposals\nto improve rail services in the EU. The proposals are part of the\n\"political\" or \"market\" pillar of the fourth railway\npackage.
\nThe Council debate focussed on key issues such as\ndomestic market opening, non-discriminatory access to networks,\nfinancial transparency and the awarding of public service\ncontracts.
\nEncouraging investment and innovation and rendering\nthe railway sector more dynamic and\ncustomer-oriented: many ministers\nagreed with this objective but questioned whether market opening\nwould be the best one to achieve this given that EU countries are\nvery different in terms of their population, geography, markets and\nnational rail systems.
\nCertain Member States were in favour of market opening\nbut even many of them expressed the need to consider certain\naspects such as good preparation, the need to do this progressively\nor the need for a market analysis or a study on the potential\neconomic or social impact.
\nCherry-picking: many\nMember States said they were against \"cherry picking\" i.e.\ncommercial companies should not be allowed to choose profitable\nlines to the detriment of loss-making lines that are in the public\ninterest.
\nTransition period: a\nlarge number of member states were in favour of a transition period\nfor any new market opening measures. Several delegations mentioned\nthe need to let the current contracts run their course.
\nGovernance: a few\nministers said that it should be up to the Member States to choose\ntheir own model. Some ministers said no additional measures would\nbe necessary in this area. Some others mentioned the need to ensure\ntransparency and oversight.
\nPublic service contracts: most Member States considered it necessary to retain\nthe possibility to award public-service contracts directly. Many\ndelegations mentioned the need for public services to include both\nprofitable and non-profitable lines.
\nAccess to rolling stock:\na few ministers said non-discriminatory access to rolling stock\nshould be ensured for railway undertakings, whereas a number of\ndelegations stressed the principle of subsidiarity in this\nconnection. Others said no budget obligations should be\ncreated.
\nA large number of delegations considered it important\nto make progress on and conclude the technical pillar as\nswiftly as possible.
\nOn the basis of the discussion, the Council will go on\nworking towards a strategic, shared approach to the political\npillar with a view to agreeing on this shared approach by the\nDecember Council.
\nThe Council held a\npublic policy debate on two proposals to improve rail\nservices in the EU (fourth railway package). The proposals aim to\nliberalise passenger services and strengthen the governance of\nrailway infrastructure.
\nUnder the market\npillar, two Commission proposals are under discussion at the\nCouncil:
\n· \nthe proposal for a Directive 2012/34/EU\nestablishing a Single European Railway Area, as regards the opening\nof the market for domestic passenger transport services by rail and\nthe governance of the railway infrastructure (draft\nGovernance Directive);
\n· \nthe proposal for a Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007\nconcerning the opening of the market for domestic passenger\ntransport services by rail (draft Public Service Obligation\nRegulation).
\nMinisters were requested\nto express their views on the level of requirements applying to the\nvarious functions of infrastructure managers, the role of\nregulatory bodies and access to rolling stock (trains).
\nAs regards the draft\nPublic Service Obligation Regulation,\nthe debate focused on the following issues:
\nLiberalisation of the\nrail market: a large number of\nministers stressed that a \"one size fits all\" approach would not\nbring appropriate answers to the proposed liberalisation of the\nrail market. An important factor to be taken into account was the\nsize of the market.
\nSeveral Member States\nargued that there was no evidence that market opening would be\nbeneficial to small markets. On the contrary, they said, it could\nhave negative social and budgetary consequences. Direct award\nshould thus continue for small markets.
\nAccess to rolling\nstock: Member States thought that any\nEuropean rules established to ensure effective and\nnon-discriminatory access to rolling stock should neither be too\ndetailed nor too strict. It should be up to each Member State and\nits authorities to select appropriate measures taking into account\ntheir national situation. The presidency asked the question as to\nwhat Member States or their competent authorities should do in\norder to ensure effective and non-discriminatory access to rolling\nstock while limiting the impact on national budgets.
\nThe presidency stated\nthat it was committed to reaching an agreement with the European\nParliament on the technical pillar, while preparing for a\ngeneral approach on both market pillar proposals at the June\n2015 Transport Council.
\nThe Council adopted its position at first reading with\na view to the adoption of a Regulation amending Regulation (EC) No\n1370/2007 concerning the opening of the market for domestic\npassenger transport services by rail.
\nThe main objectives of the proposal are to improve the\nquality of domestic rail passenger transport services in cases\nwhere such services are offered as a public service and to enhance\nthe operational efficiency of these services.
\nCompetitive tendering:\nthe Council considered that competitive tendering should be the\npreferred option when public passenger services by rail are\nprocured. However, to effectively attain the main objectives of the\nproposal, derogations to the principle of competitive tendering,\ni.e. direct awards, should be allowed in certain cases and subject\nto specified conditions.
\nDirectly awarded: unless\nprohibited by national law, the competent authority may decide to\naward public service contracts for public passenger transport\nservices by rail directly:
\nWhere the competent authority decides to award a\npublic service contract directly, it shall lay down measurable,\ntransparent and verifiable performance requirements. Such\nrequirements shall be included in the contract. The performance\nrequirements shall in particular cover punctuality of services,\nfrequency of train operations, quality of rolling stock and\ntransport capacity for passengers.
\nThe competent authority shall periodically assess\nwhether the railway undertaking has achieved its targets for\nmeeting the performance requirements as set in the contract and\nshall make its findings public. Such periodic assessments shall\ntake place at least every five years.
\nIn the event of a disruption of services or the\nimmediate risk of such a situation, the competent authority may\ntake emergency measures. The emergency measures shall take\nthe form of a direct award or a formal agreement to extend a public\nservice contract or a requirement to provide certain public service\nobligations.
\nSpecifications of public service obligations\n(PSO): the Council position sets\nclear rules for the definition and specifications of PSO. The text\nalso sets out general criteria to be used by competent\nauthorities to define public service obligations. These\nspecifications should, where possible, generate positive network\neffects, inter alia in terms of improved quality of services,\nsocial and territorial cohesion or the overall efficiency of the\npublic transport system.
\nUpper limits on the value of direct\nawards: the de minimis thresholds for\ndirectly awarded public service contracts were adapted by the\nCouncil.
\nUnless prohibited by national law, the competent\nauthority may decide to award public service contracts\ndirectly:
\n(a) where their average annual value is estimated at\nless than EUR 1 000 000 or, in the case of a public service\ncontract including public passenger transport services by rail,\nless than EUR 7 500 000; or
\n(b) where they concern the annual provision of less\nthan 300 000 kilometres of public passenger transport services\nor, in the case of a public service contract including public\npassenger transport services by rail, less than 500 000\nkilometres.
\nAccess to rolling stock:\nwith a view to launching a competitive tendering procedure,\ncompetent authorities shall assess whether measures are necessary\nto ensure effective and non-discriminatory access to suitable\nrolling stock. The assessment report shall be made publicly\navailable. Competent authorities may decide, in accordance with\nnational law and in compliance with State aid rules, to take\nappropriate measures to ensure effective and non-discriminatory\naccess to suitable rolling stock.
\nRights and social obligations: with a view to an appropriate integration of social\nand labour requirements into procedures for the award of public\nservice contracts for public passenger transport services public\nservice operators should, in the performance of public service\ncontracts, comply with obligations in the field of social and\nlabour law that apply in the Member State where the public service\ncontract is awarded and that result from laws, regulations and\ndecisions, at both national and Union level, as well as from\napplicable collective agreements.
\nTransition period: the\nnew system will be introduced gradually. Competitive bidding for\npublic service contracts will start seven years after the legal\nacts are published. Public service contracts for public passenger\ntransport services by rail directly awarded on the basis of a\nprocedure other than a fair competitive procedure as of the date of\nentry into force of this amending Regulation until 2 December 2019\nmay continue until their expiry date.
\nThe Committee on Transport and Tourism adopted the\nrecommendation for second reading contained in the report by Wim\nVAN DE CAMP (EPP, NL) on the Council position at first reading with\na view to the adoption of a regulation of the European Parliament\nand of the Council amending Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 concerning\nthe opening of the market for domestic passenger transport services\nby rail.
\nThe committee recommended the European Parliament to\napprove the Council position at first reading without\namendment.
\nAs a reminder, the proposal is part of the market\npillar of the Fourth Railway Package which comprises three\nlegislative proposals.
\nThe general objective of the Commission proposal for\nan amendment of Regulation (EC) 1370/2007 is to improve the quality\nof rail passenger services and to enhance their operational\nefficiency.
\nTo attain the general objective, the Commission\nproposed to introduce mandatory competitive tendering for public\nservice contracts to intensify competitive pressure on domestic\nrail markets.
