ANNEX 4

Evolution of rail transport by Member State, year and market segment (1990-2010)

Note 1: International transport includes transit

Note 2: Unlike most other annexes which give priority to the Eurostat figures, this annex presents in the first place data submitted by the national authorities in the framework of the 2011 RMMS questionnaire. There is a certain discrepancy between the Eurostat data and data provided by the national Ministries responsible for transport.

RMMS data for UK do not cover Northern Ireland.

Note 3: for Spain, for the period 1990-2005, the data include also traffic of regional rail companies and the source used is not RMMS questionnaire.

7b. Railways - number of persons employed in the EU27 index number - 2000=100

7c Railways - number of persons employed in the EU27 and its countries

Notes to figures 7b and 7c:

Statistics on the number of persons employed in the railways industry shows a clear downwards trend in recent years. However, these figures refer to the "Transport via railways" industry as defined in the NACE classification REV. 1.1[1]. This NACE class (60.10) includes the following economic activities: 

· Passenger transport by interurban railways

· Freight transport by interurban, suburban and urban railways

In contrast, the same NACE class (60.10) does NOT include[2] the following:

· passenger and freight terminal activities, cargo handling, storage and other auxiliary activities (NACE 63)

· maintenance and minor repair of rolling stock (NACE 63.21)

· operation of railroad infrastructure (NACE 63.21)

In conclusion, statistics on the number of persons employed in the railways industry (NACE class 60.10) should be interpreted with care as part of the drop observed in the EU between 2000 and 2007 is the result of a "coding effect" linked to the split of activities. Because of missing data for some countries, it is not possible to precisely estimate the impact of this "coding effect".

Glossary:

(1) Public Service Obligations as defined in Regulation 1370/2007 of 23 October 2007: "‘public service obligation’ means a requirement defined or determined by a competent authority in order to ensure public passenger transport services in the general interest that an operator, if it were considering its own commercial interests, would not assume or would not assume to the same extent or under the same conditions without reward";

(2) tkm = tonne-kilometre

(3) pkm = passenger-kilometre

(4) Please do not include passenger transit in total figure to ensure comparability with Eurostat data.

(5) Provide passenger transit figures as far as available. Do not include in total figure as Eurostat survey does not include them.

(6) Please apply territoriality principle, i.e. an undertaking operating in more than one country would see its share split across respective national rail markets.

(7) Please indicate if possible for each railway undertaking whether the majority of the assets are private or public-owned

(8) E.g. measures related to the organisation of driver training, opening of training centres, support schemes for management training in the rail sector, setting up of an advanced apprenticeship scheme in the rail sector, international exchange programmes for staff or developments on the market for training services.

(9) Contract concluded with the State or other competent authorities providing for financial compensation to infrastructure managers for maintenance and renewal to achieve an agreed performance, according to Directive 2001/14/EC, Article 6: "Infrastructure cost and accounts:

1. Member States shall lay down conditions, including where appropriate advance payments, to ensure that, under normal business conditions and over a reasonable time period, the accounts of an infrastructure manager shall at least balance income from infrastructure charges, surpluses from other commercial activities and State funding on the one hand, and infrastructure expenditure on the other.        Without prejudice to the possible long-term aim of user cover of infrastructure costs for all modes of transport on the basis of fair, non-discriminatory competition between the various modes, where rail transport is able to compete with other modes of transport, within the charging framework of Articles 7 and 8, a Member State may require the infrastructure manager to balance his accounts without State funding.

2. Infrastructure managers shall, with due regard to safety and to maintaining and improving the quality of the infrastructure service, be provided with incentives to reduce the costs of provision of infrastructure and the level of access charges.

3. Member States shall ensure that the provision set out in paragraph 2 is implemented, either through a contractual agreement between the competent authority and infrastructure manager covering a period of not less than three years which provides for State funding or through the establishment of appropriate regulatory measures with adequate powers.

4. Where a contractual agreement exists, the terms of the contract and the structure of the payments agreed to provide funding to the infrastructure manager shall be agreed in advance to cover the whole of the contract period.

5. A method for apportioning costs shall be established. Member States may require prior approval. This method should be updated from time to time to the best international practice".

(10) As defined in Directive 91/440/EEC: "railway infrastructure` shall mean all the items listed in Annex I.A to Commission Regulation (EEC) N° 2598/70 of 18 December 1970 specifying the items to be included under the various headings in the forms of accounts shown in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) N° 1108/70, with the exception of the final indent which, for the purposes of this Directive only, shall read as follows: 'Buildings used by the infrastructure department",

            The definition and scope of the term "Transport Infrastructure" according to Annex I.A to Commission Regulation (EEC) N° 2598/70 of 18 December 1970 reads as follows:

            "For the purposes of Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1108/70 of 4 June 1970, "transport infrastructure" means all routes and fixed installations of the three modes of transport being routes and installations necessary for the circulation and safety of traffic.

            A. RAIL

            Railway infrastructure consists of the following items, provided they form part of the permanent way, including sidings, but excluding lines situated within railway repair workshops, depots or locomotive sheds, and private branch lines or sidings: - Ground area;

– Track and track bed, in particular embankments, cuttings, drainage channels and trenches, masonry trenches, culverts, lining walls, planting for protecting side slopes etc. ; passenger and goods platforms ; four-foot way and walkways ; enclosure walls, hedges, fencing ; fire protection strips ; apparatus for heating points ; crossings, etc. ; snow protection screens;

– Engineering structures : bridges, culverts and other overpasses, tunnels, covered cuttings and other underpasses ; retaining walls, and structures for protection against avalanches, falling stones, etc.;

– Level crossings, including appliances to ensure the safety of road traffic;

– Superstructure, in particular : rails, grooved rails and check rails ; sleepers and longitudinal ties, small fittings for the permanent way, ballast including stone chippings and sand ; points, crossings, etc. ; turntables and traversers (except those reserved exclusively for locomotives);

– Access way for passengers and goods, including access by road;

– Safety, signalling and telecommunications installations on the open track, in stations and in marshalling yards, including plant for generating, transforming and distributing electric current for signalling and telecommunications ; buildings for such installations or plant ; track brakes;

– Lighting installations for traffic and safety purposes;

– Plant for transforming and carrying electric power for train haulage: sub-stations, supply cables between sub-stations and contact wires, catenaries and supports; third rail with supports;

– Buildings used by the infrastructure department…"

(11) High-speed infrastructure as defined in Directive 2008/57/EC, Annex I: "The high-speed lines shall comprise:

– specially built high-speed lines equipped for speeds generally equal to or greater than 250 km/h,

– specially upgraded high-speed lines equipped for speeds of the order of 200 km/h,

– specially upgraded high-speed lines which have special features as a result of topographical, relief or town planning constraints, on which the speed must be adapted to each case. This category also includes interconnecting lines between the high-speed and conventional networks, lines through stations, accesses to terminals, depots, etc. travelled at conventional speed by ‘high-speed’ rolling stock.

This network includes traffic management, tracking and navigation systems, technical installations for data processing and telecommunications intended for services on these lines in order to guarantee the safe and harmonious operation of the network and efficient traffic management."

(12) The International Transport Forum in Leipzig (D) (http://www.internationaltransportforum.org/) has published surveys on track access charges in the indicated categories.

(13) Article 11 of Directive 2001/14/EC reads as follows: "Performance scheme

1. Infrastructure charging schemes shall through a performance scheme encourage railway undertakings and the infrastructure manager to minimise disruption and improve the performance of the railway network. This may include penalties for actions which disrupt the operation of the network, compensation for undertakings which suffer from disruption and bonuses that reward better than planned performance.

2. The basic principles of the performance scheme shall apply throughout the network".
