WG Infrastructure

To carry out studies, analysis, reports and proposals (encouraging its implementation)in relation to the development of railway infrastructures in the European Union (particularly in the Core Network defined by the European Commission) and also in neighbouring countries and even in the Euro-Asian scenario, in order to facilitate the passage of freight trains according to current potential demand and taking into account the postulates of the “FERRMED Standards”. Special emphasis should be placed in the corridors defined by FERRMED as “EU Main Trans-Eurasian Corridors”, corresponding to the 15,000Km with the most rail freight traffic potential in the Core Network (see figure below), giving priority to the corridors that exhibit greater deficiencies – e.g. the case of the Mediterranean Corridor.
