CER Position

CER supports the 4th Railway Package’s Technical Pillar with the following key principles:

Single European Vehicle Authorisation

ERA as one-stop-shop + « Bobby »of procedures

ERA fully responsible for vehicle authorisation issued

Evolutionary approach towards European vehicle authorisation

Applicant to choose the area of use

Area of use fully covered by vehicle authorisation (technical compatibility)

European Approach to Safety Certification

Next Steps

CER supports a harmonised European Approach for Safety Certification and Vehicle Authorisation

CER wishes to see a sound agreement between the European Parliament and the Council by June 2013 and the approval of the 4th Railway Package

CER proposes to favor the negotiation of the Technical Pillar of the 4th Railway Package, with the main focus on Interoperability Directive and Safety Directive



The 4th Railway Package - will it revitalise the

European railways?

•The high costs, long timescales and uncertainty of the various national authorisations require a simplified European approach

•The 4th Railway Package will simplify and accelerate the authorisation

Interoperability

•The high costs and uncertainty of the various national certifications require a simplified European approach.

•The 4th Railway Package will streamline this approach Safety

•The European Railway Agency is promoted as one-stop-shop

•The 4th Railway Package offers a simplification of the procedures and a clear distinction of tasks

ERA

The Railway sector will be revilatised by:

• Reducing the administrative burdens for all actors in

the railway sector

• Faster processes (faster availability of safety

certificates and vehicles ready to be used)

• Cost reduction (vehicles and infrastructure)
