Joint AERRL-ALLRAIL position on the Revision of the mandate of the European Union Agency for Railways (ERA)
As representatives of rolling stock keepers, lessors, and independent passenger rail companies, we believe the Agency’s core objective should be to contribute to increasing rail’s market share while ensuring safety, interoperability, sustainability and open competition.
A more inclusive Agency with a mandate aligned with asset life optimisation, circular economy principles and competitive neutrality will support a dynamic, innovative and investment-friendly European railway market.
Enforcement of European rules on Energy settlement as a key step to achieve the goals of SERA
The Energy Technical Specification for Interoperability (ENE TSI) plays a vital role in ensuring efficient and truly seamless rail transport across Europe through the creation of an interoperable energy subsystem. Yet, more than a decade after its entry into force, the situation remains deeply concerning: tangible progress towards energy subsystem interoperability is minimal, and users continue to face serious challenges in several countries - particularly as more locomotives operate across multiple national networks.
In the attached joint statement, AERRL, ALLRAIL and ERFA highlight the significance of this issue - not only for leasing companies and new entrants, but for the health and efficiency of the entire European rail sector.
