Prossime tappe
|
13 |
In the coming months the European Commission intends to adopt a
new package of measures, the so-called 4th railway package, to open domestic
passenger rail markets to competition, to reduce the time-to-market of the
rolling stock (through a strengthening of the role of European Railways Agency)
and to improve the governance of railway infrastructure (to reinforce efficiency
of railway operations and improve competition).
|
Nei prossimi mesi la Commissione europea intende adottare un
nuovo pacchetto di misure, il cosiddetto Quarto pacchetto ferroviario, per
aprire alla concorrenza i mercati del traffico ferroviario passeggeri, ridurre
il tempo di immissione sul mercato del materiale rotabile (per mezzo di un
rafforzamento dell’Agenzia ferroviaria europea) e migliorare la gestione delle
infrastrutture ferroviarie (al fine di rafforzare l’efficienza delle operazioni
del settore e migliorare la concorrenza).
