ERFA reacts on the EP vote in plenary session (1st reading) on the 4th Railway Package

The European Parliament allows the long awaited railway reform to deliver concrete results . But NOT ALL! The 4th railway package is crucial to finalize the basement of the European Railway Reform. The results of the votes in European Parliament last 26th February are too contrasted with steps forward and steps back!

Before the vote on 26th February in plenary session, ESC, CLECAT and ERFA developed a joint position and asked MEP Franco Frigo and all MEPs to reject CER amendments endangering the non-discriminatory opening of the railway market
