Railway transport: licensing of railway undertakings

2004/0074(COD)

PURPOSE : to codify EU Council Directive on the licensing of railway undertakings.

PROPOSED ACT : Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council.

CONTENT : the purpose of the proposal is to undertake a codification of Council Directive 95/18/EC on the licensing of railway undertakings. The new Directive will supersede the various acts incorporated in it. This proposal fully preserves the content of the acts being codified and hence does no more than bring them together with only such formal amendments as are required by the codification process itself.
