The need for a successor of Europe's Rail Joint Undertaking
For railway undertakings and infrastructure managers, a successor to the current EU-Rail framework is a prerequisite for safeguarding long-term investments, achieving interoperability, accelerating digital and climate transformation and delivering a competitive Single European Railway Area.
In the absence of a coordinated European innovation and deployment platform, fragmentation will persist, costs will rise, and Europe's rail system will struggle to meet strategic mobility, climate and competitiveness objectives.
A renewed Joint Undertaking under the next Framework Programme is therefore a structural necessity and a foundation for Europe's future rail system.
