EU-høring om jernbanenettets implementering

Europa-Kommissionen har igangsat en analyse af implementeringen af et europæisk jernbanenet som besluttet i 2010 samt muligheder for at fremme udviklingen af jernbanegods. Danske Havne genkender mange af de samme udfordringer for en øget nærskibsfart, herunder markedsoperatørers fleksibilitet men også mere konkret viden om potentielle godsmængder, der kan overføres fra vej til bane, transportmønstre og eksempler på bedste praksis. Danske Havnes analysesvar kan læses her. Formålet med analysen: Regulation (EU) 913/2010 (RFC Regulation) concerning a European rail network for competitive freight entered into force in November 2010. According to its Article 23 the Commission has to submit a report to the European Parliament and Council examining its application. The Commission decided to extend the scope of this exercise with performing a full evaluation of this Regulation. This evaluation has also to be seen in the context of a new phase starting for the initial nine Rail Freight Corridors (the establishment of which are foreseen by the Regulation), now that they all became operational. The evaluation will be the basis to determine whether further action is needed in order to improve the policy framework. This open public consultation will ensure that any citizen as well as any stakeholder has the opportunity to provide the Commission with their views on the Rail Freight Corridors (RFCs), the RFC Regulation, its implementation and its effects. It will be an important source of input feeding the evaluation of the RFC Regulation. It also aims at completing the feedback that the Commission already received on the implementation of the Rail Freight Corridors and on its policy, by asking a wide range of questions and addressing a wide range of stakeholders and interested citizens. In the context of this evaluation, five criteria will be particularly addressed: the relevance of the Regulation (in relation to the issues which it aims to tackle), its effectiveness, its efficiency, its coherence (with EU objectives and co-existing EU transport legislation) and its EU-added value. The public consultation aims at covering these elements. Nedenfor ses det danske prioriterede jernbanenet og prioriterede havne.
