Trans-European railway transport: interoperability. 2nd package

The European Parliament adopted a resolution drafted by Sylviane AINARDI (EUL/NGL, France) making a few amendments to the common position. (Please see the document dated 01/10/03.) An additional clause states the directive establishes the conditions to be met to achieve interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system. These conditions concern the design, construction, putting into service, upgrading, renewal, operation and maintenance of the parts of this system put into service after the date of entry into force of the directive, as well as the professional qualifications and health and safety conditions of its staff.�
