1 Railways in Europe quo vadis? TRAKO Gdańsk, 27 September 2017 Andrzej Harassek Head of Fixed Installations Sector, Interoperability Unit

2 The European railway industry is under threat Outside world (automotive, digital, ) Other modes European rail supply industry Outside Europe Maintenance 2

3 The strategic orientation of the EU Agency for Railways Customer driven Attractive for customers Innovation & digital technologies EU-wide regulation & processes Single European Railway Area Less fragmentation Cost down - Quality up Cooperation & competitive operation Technical harmonisation, in particular ERTMS Interoperability Market orientation Global reference 3

4 Getting the Single European Railway Area on track 4

5 Current events prove the point 5 5

6 The interoperability vision handover? National network A Domestic monopoly operator A National network B Domestic monopoly operator B Single Rail Area - harmonised specification Operators work seamlessly across borders (in competition) "More than 95 % of our traffic is domestic" 4 6

7 4th Railway Packet new authorisation process After the transition period (3 years) the Agency will issue vehicles authorisations Applicant submits request for APOM or Type Authorisation to the One- Stop- Shop (managed by the Agency) Specifying the area of use of the vehicle Including relevant documentation Agency/NSA issues APOM or Type Authorisation (or communicates negative decision) Within 4 months from reception of complete documentation Following detailed rules established in an Implementing Act Vehicle registration (upon keeper s request) Using its SMS, RU checks, including: Route compatibility Proper integration in the train composition APOM = Authorisation for Placing On the Market Article 20, IOD (Directive (EU) 2016/797) 7

8 The new vehicle authorisation 1 Authorisation National by Authorities ERA 8 8

9 One authorisation replaces multiple authorisations For Corridors or Types for the Market in Several MS Cost for manufacturers Country specific trains Country specific documentation Country specific process Needs specialists NSA A NSA B NSA C NSA D NSA E Fragmentation hampers rail market Safety Bureaucracy ERA 9

10 1 PLACING ON THE MARKET OF MOBILE SUBSYSTEMS EC Declaration Technical File Roles & responsibilities >1 MS Only 1 MS Applicant 2 3 VEHICLE AUTHORISATION for PLACING ON THE MARKET in AREA of USE CHECK BEFORE the USE OF authorised VEHICLE 1) Placing on the market of the mobile subsystems 2) Technical compatibility of the subsystems within the vehicle 3) Safe integration of the subsystems within the vehicle 3) Technical compatibility of the vehicle with the network in the area of use Route compatibility on the basis of RINF, the relevant TSIs or any relevant information to be provided by the infrastructure manager free of charge and within a reasonable period of time, where such a register does not exist or is incomplete ERA and NSAs OSS ERA or NSA (Applicant's choice) Railway Undertaking 4 In case of non-compliance to essential requirements noticed during operation by Railway undertakings Revocation or ultimately by NSA and inducing safety risks (e.g. during supervision activities) authorisation can be revoked Railway Undertaking & NSA 10

11 4RP Expected benefits for vehicle authorisation Less cost (one process with one Agency) Better transparency (one procedure with clear rules) Better predictability (clear requirements, known at pre-engagment) Reduced risk on project timeline Easier extension of Area of Use Clarity as to when a new authorisation is needed 11

12 Technical Pillar 4RP Where are we? Single Safety Certificate: adopted in RISC* (July 2017) *) RISC: Railway Interoperability and Safety Committee Vehicle Authorisation: Implementing Act (and Application Guide) in "Public Consultation" since August 2017 ERA Liaison Office (and cooperation with industry) launched in June SERA Regional Conferences, 1 SERA Convention 12

13 RISC preparation Draft Commission Implementing Act on Practical Arrangements for vehicle authorisation (1) Agency proposal delivered to EC March workshops with representatives of the sector and of NSAs Bilateral meetings Development of the draft EC Implementing Act 4 Expert Group meetings with representatives of the sector and of MS 5 SERA conferences organised by ERA and EC Good understanding of the needs and the concerns Stable proposal Remaining concerns Changes in the legal framework imposing changes in the current practices e.g. authorisation of series Non technical issues linked to the process e.g. language Non technical issues not dealt with in the legal framework e.g. transitional phases 13

14 RISC preparation Draft Commission Implementing Act on Practical Arrangements for vehicle authorisation (2) Next steps Draft EC Implementing Act submitted to the members of the Expert Group on the 20 th of July and sent for public consultation in early August th of September last EG on this document Discussions on EG comments for improvements and clarifications Revision of the Draft EC implementing Act Opinion of the RISC members during the November RISC meeting Agency application guide by January 2018 Essential milestone in the Agency programme to ensure readiness in June 2019 (application guide, training of ERA and external staff, shadow running, OSS development, ) 14

15 Technical Pillar 4RP Next Steps Important issues Expert Group Vehicle Authorisation 18/19 Sept 2017 ERA Management Board to confirm OSS Concept (September 2017) Despite new legal framework, best practises from live experience in rail sector are retained (e.g. series authorisation) Language Transition period RISC Resolution (Mid-November) 15

16 ERTMS is a global reference Railway Signalling without borders - COMPATIBILITY ERTMS is a business case, contributing to reduced cost and to improved asset utilisation ERTMS = ETCS + GSM-R ETCS: European Train Control System GSM-R: GSM for Railways From experimentation and pilots to INDUSTRIAL DEPLOYMENT STABILITY DISCIPLINE - TRANSPARENCY 16

17 ERTMS next steps Fragmentation national systems Single European Railway Area AWS /TPWS ZUB EBICAB KVB/TVM ATB TBL PZB/LZB ERTMS SIGNUM /ZUB PZB/LZB EVM ASFA/LZB BACC B3 R2 MoU Deployment plan Draft action plan ERTMS Trackside Approval and Vehicle Authorisation (4RP) Risks Compatibility Non-European industry defines standard Next steps ERTMS Conference in Valenciennes: November

18 Outlook Rail can become the most relevant mode of transport of the 21st century Cutting cost Increase quality Fostering innovation Standardisation ERTMS Common and simplified operational procedures Swift implementation of Fourth Railway Package Putting the customer first Collaborating to make rail more competitive Knowing the risks and opportunities of digitalisation 18

19 We are shaping the future of rail in Europe Single European Railway Area (SERA) safe :: connected :: affordable 19
