The document discusses EU rail legislation and organizational structures and their potential relevance for Brazil. It describes the 3 pillar model of infrastructure, operators, and authorities used in Europe. It provides an overview of the various EU directives related to rail network access, interoperability, safety, and the roles of the European Commission, Parliament, and other institutions in developing rail policy. Key topics for Brazil include opening markets to competition, standardization, and strategies for increasing interoperability and intraoperability.

10. "Brussels has decided…"
Brazil November 2012 Poul Froesig, Senior adviser ANTT
The term “Brussels” is often used in the media to refer to
the EU institutions, most of which are located in the city of
Brussels.
EU laws are proposed by the European Commission but it
is the Council of the European Union (ministers from the
national governments) and the European Parliament
(elected by the European citizens) that debate, amend and
ultimately decide whether to pass these proposed laws.

11. How EU laws are made
Brazil November 2012 Poul Froesig, Senior adviser ANTT
Citizens, interests groups, experts: discuss, consult
Commission: makes formal proposal
Parliament and Council of Ministers: decide jointly
National or local authorities: implement
Commission and Court of Justice: monitor implementation

12. Policy context
Brazil November 2012 Poul Froesig, Senior adviser ANTT
• White Paper of 1996
• White Paper of 2001 on
“European transport policy for 2010 : time to
decide”
• Mid-term review of the White Paper of 2001 ---
June 2006
• A sustainable future for transport: Towards an
integrated, technology-led and user friendly
system – June 2009

13. The EU approach :
Creating a common European railway area
Brazil November 2012 Poul Froesig, Senior adviser ANTT
The cornerstones of the EU approach to improve the
performance of rail transport are:
• Open access in rail transport to favour competition and
create incentives for product innovation and service
quality
• Fostering the interoperability of the national networks
(and hence international services) through operational,
technical and approval harmonization
• Develop a common rail safety approach to facilitate
market access while maintaining a reasonably high level
of safety
• Develop the trans-European Network for rail

14. The legal basis
Brazil November 2012 Poul Froesig, Senior adviser ANTT
.
- The EU Treaty
- Title V – Transport – Article 71
- Title XV – Trans-European Networks – Article
156

15. EU regulatory framework for rail network access
Brazil November 2012 Poul Froesig, Senior adviser ANTT
- Network satements

congestion)
 Allocation process
 Others

Methods (CSM), Common Safety Targets (CST) and
Common Safety Indicators (CSI)
 Harmonize issuing and assessment procedures of Safety
Certificates and Safety Authorizations

23. European ERA organization
Brazil November 2012 Poul Froesig, Senior adviser
App. 150 people from
19 nationalities
Recognised rail org. give
input to ERA i.e.
- CER (The operators)
- EIM (The IF managers)
- Partly UIC case by
case
Cenelec and ETSI develop standards. Those are often referenced in the TSI

24. What is ERTMS ETCS and GSM-R?
Poul Froesig, Senior adviser -
A very flexible control system with several options for implemetion,
but based European standards, operational rules, Interoperability

29. What is ERTMS Regional?
An EU compliant track side train operation at low cost
Brazil November 2012 Poul Froesig, Senior adviser
• A cost optimised track side TSI CCS ERTMS
compliant solution
• TSI compliant use of the GSM-R radio system
• TSI compliant operation with ERTMS on boards
• Introduction of a centralised remote controlled
operation
• Makes a good business case for regional lines
compared to a full level 2 application, when
replacing the e.g. interlockings etc.
•Open interfaces to essential components track side
(reducing the life cycle costs)

30. ERTMS REGIONAL: Cost saving factors
Brazil November 2012 Poul Froesig, Senior adviser
Staff reduction in stations (Integrated Train managements
System)
Less track side equipment (e.g. no complete radio coverage)
No traditional local interlocking, no line side signals,
Minimising cables by controlling objects via radio
Track circuits and axle counters only on special locations
Minimised trackside equipment will minimise maintenance
Open interfaces to objects and sub systems
Precondition: Consider country wide the additional costs for
 All trains shall be equipped with ERTMS operating on the line
 GSM-R shall be introduced
 The train operation scenarios in the transitions (e.g. signals)

31. Status for ERTMS Regional
Brazil November 2012 Poul Froesig, Senior adviser
 First world wide implementation in Sweden i 2012
Improvements are still needed
Opotunities for Brazil
 The specifications for the management part of the system still
needs improvement
 The systems needs to work mode reliable than it does to-day
 The operational rules for a level 3 application needs to be
more detailed specificied
 The open interfaces need a European acceptance of the
railways and industry (At present only 1 railway and one
supplier) (Not really yet an open market)
 Train Integrity specifications and management of those

32. … eliminates the need
for trackside
equipment, signals &
trackcircuits

33. The challenge is to establish
Interoperability and Intraoperability
