Revision of the European Union Agency for Railways Regulation
The European Union Agency for Railways (ERA) plays an important role for the rail sector as the authorising entity in charge of single safety certificates (SSC), vehicle authorisations (VA) and trackside approval (TA).
As the European Commission has the intention to revise the Regulation on the European Union Agency for Railways ((EU) 2016/796), CER strongly supports the approach of a swift and focused revision.
From the CER perspective, the focus should be on improving the delivery of core ERA tasks (SSC, VA, TA), high-quality and stable TSI's as well as steering the five priority topics ETCS, FRMCS, DAC, High-Speed Rail and Military Mobility seamlessly across Europe. The existing ERA mandate based on the Regulation of 2016 is seen as sufficient.
