EU Ministers put planned railway legislation on right track

Europe’s need for a better connected and more efficient railway system has led the EU Transport Ministers today in Luxembourg to agree on the “market pillar” of the currently negotiated 4th EU railway package. BUSINESSEUROPE’s Director General Markus J. Beyrer commented: 'EU Ministers have set the right course with the market pillar, now they should swiftly arrive at their destination. Swift adoption of the full railway package will trigger investment in rail infrastructure, offer competitive prices for passengers and business clients and make rail services more efficient'.
