Open letter: ALLRAIL’s response to the allegations of the Polish rail regulator UTK containing false information about the level of competitiveness in the Polish passenger rail market
Our international non-profit association ALLRAIL would like to address the recent allegations of the Polish rail regulator UTK that contain deliberately misleading information about the level of competitiveness in the Polish passenger rail market.
In this open letter to UTK, we refute the latter's narrative with concrete evidence and demonstrate its highly partial behaviour in favour of state incumbent PKP Intercity. We also offer UTK the opportunity of a meeting in order to discuss our urgent concerns about its independence and neutrality.

Międzynarodowe stowarzyszenie non-profit ALLRAIL, pragnąc odnieść się do zarzutów Urzędu Transportu Kolejowego (UTK) o podawanie nieprawdziwych informacji na temat konkurencyjności rynku kolejowego w Polsce, przesyła w załączeniu odpowiedź obalającą narrację organu regulacyjnego o otwarciu na liberalizację rynku.
ALLRAIL odpowiada UTK. „Urząd kreuje pozory otwarcia rynku kolejowego”
Europejskie stowarzyszenie reprezentujące niezależnych przewoźników pasażerskich odniosło się do odpowiedzi prezesa UTK na zarzuty dotyczące blokowania otwarcia rynku kolejowego w Polsce. – Stanowisko Prezesa UTK jest doskonałym odzwierciedleniem fasadowości działań urzędu – pisze ALLRAIL i przedstawia zebrane przez siebie statystyki.
Portugal: yet another case hindering railway liberalisation in Europe: unjustified Public Service Obligations (PSOs), possible State Aid to the incumbent
Recently, Portugal’s Prime Minister Antonio Costa announced plans for a high-speed line between Lisbon and Porto, stressing the importance of connecting the two cities and generating economic growth.
ALLRAIL welcomes this project but highlights, once again, the importance of opening this sector to the competition among operators, fulfilling with the provisions of the EU Law.
