The document discusses revising the European deployment plan for ERTMS, the European Rail Traffic Management System. It proposes the following: 1) Focusing initial deployment around the existing progress in the BeNeLux and Vienna hubs, with neighboring countries implementing ERTMS on cross-border sections by 2020. 2) Withdrawing the current deployment plan from 2012 and adopting a new plan per Core Network Corridor as an implementing act for the EU regulation by summer 2016. 3) The new plan would require ERTMS on the entire core rail network, including corridors, by 2030.

1. Realistic and
committed
deployment plan
TEN-T Days in Riga, 22 June 2015

2. Current European
deployment plan
• six "ERTMS Corridors"
and their connection to
ports and marshalling
years (mainly freight
corridors)
• Significant delays
(deadlines: 2015/2020)
Commission Decision 2012/88/EC (EDP)

3.  9 Core Network Corridors
(CNC)
Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013
 Freight AND passengers
 ERTMS: by 2030 at the latest
(entire Core Network, inlc.
Corridors)

4. How to build the reviewed EDP?

5. Starting points
 two main areas where ERTMS deployment is
progressing in a significant way:
 BeNeLux hub
 Vienna hub
 Neighbouring Member States shall focus on the
 implementation around these two hubs on their
territory, in order to reach benefits through
network effect.
 significant cross-border sections by 2020

6. State of play

7. Legal aspects
 Adoption at the same time of:
o The withdrawal of the current deployment
plan from Commission Decision
2012/88/EC
o The new deployment plan per CNC, as
implementing act of Council and EP
Regulation 1315/2013, as per Article 44
 ASAP after the summer 2016
