A common and clear voice is essential to the success of rail in the EU

It was a real pleasure to take part in the annual event of the Group of Representative Bodies (GRB) in Brussels. 

A truly honest and constructive exchange, addressing key challenges to cost efficiency in the European rail system: enabling seamless cross-border traffic, advancing ERTMS deployment and ensuring FRMCS maturity, implementing smart rail innovation, supporting military mobility, and attracting more and more talent and competency to the EU rail sector.

Let’s continue working together to reinforce railway safety and interoperability across Europe by maintaining our level of ambition high and turning it into concrete actions. A common and clear voice is essential to the success of rail in the EU - one that resonates with unity, purpose, and a shared commitment to cross-border and cross-stakeholder collaboration.
