The laws of physics, trade and competition are global. Railways are increasingly global too. Discover how the Agency supports the European Commission’s international strategy and policy objectives for railways, most notably the promotion of European experiences, regulations and standards within international organisations and with international partners worldwide.
This webinar will focus on the Agency’s main activities beyond the European Union. After an introduction by ERA's Executive Director Dr. Josef Doppelbauer, Mr. Keir Fitch and Mr. Harvey Rouse from the European Commission will draw the international dimension of EU transport policy, in particular international rail cooperation.
The Agency will explain its global cooperation projects, their objectives and benefits, e.g. the EUMEDRAIL (EuroMed Rail Safety and lnteroperabilty Project); IPA (Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance) and Western Balkans; OSJD (Organisation for Co-operation between Railways); OTIF (Intergovernmental Organisation for International Carriage by Rail); and other partnerships and initiatives.
