The European vision for railway transport

The European Commission's new White Paper on Transport ( A roadmap

for a single European space transport - Towards a competitive and

efficient transportation system in terms of resources , published by the

European Commission in March 2011) identify new solutions and

medium and long term strategies, from the years 2020-2030 and with the

time horizon 2050. The most important are:

 multimodal transport systems,

 promotion of freight transport railways on medium and long

distances,

 created dedicated freight corridors,

 triple the high speed railway lines,

 Implementation of a TEN-T multi-modal and fully operational

"primary network" throughout the EU until 2030.

Romania Railways 2020 – Infrastructure Objectives

 After the White Paper on Transport in 2001, the new White Paper on Transport in 2011

comes to highlight the importance that rail transport should have. The main direction of

the Romanian 2020 Railway Platform is to correlate with the objectives of this document

where the railways are seen as playing a crucial role in developing a competitive and

sustainable transport system:

 30% of the road freight transport on distances over 300 km should be shifted to other

means of transport by 2030, such as railway or inland waterways and this percentage

should exceed 50% by 2050 with the help of efficient and environmentally friendly

freight transport corridors.

 A European railway high-speed network should be finalized by 2050. The length of the

existing railway high-speed network should triple by 2030, while a dense railway network

has to be maintained in all member states. By 2050, most of the passenger transport on

medium-distances should take place on railways.

 Another objective is to implement a multimodal and completely functional TEN-T

“primary network” across the EU by 2030 and of a high-quality and capacity network by

2050, as well as of an appropriate set of information services.

 It is also planned to connect all “primary network” airports to the railway network,

preferably to the high-speed network by 2050 and to make sure that all maritime primary

ports are correspondingly connected to the rail freight transport system and, where

possible, to the inland waterways system.

The Romanian actions plans for railway transport

 Transport policy pursued by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure from

Romania in the period January 2010 – September 2011 takes in consideration

priority areas for action from EU level and integrates them into concrete

actions at national level.

 Thus, the ministry has finalized the draft strategy of intermodal transport in

Romania to introduce new approach and integration of all modes of

transportation in an efficient logistics chain, able to meet the growing demand

for freight carriers and to create organizational structures dedicated to

intermodal transport.

 Currently, both the ministry and the railway infrastructure manager CFR,

prepare actions to establish the competitive freight Corridor Number 7, a

corridor that includes rail section Dresden - Prague - Vienna - Bratislava -

Budapest - Bucharest – Constanta , created under European Commission

Regulation no. 913/2010.
