Consultation on ERTMS: the European Deployment Plan
The following working document (with maps in 3 separate
annexes) presents an overview of contributions to the public consultation on
a European Deployment Plan for ERTMS that was launched in November 2007 and
had a deadline of 28 February 2008. The document also includes information
regarding the intended next steps of the Commission's services in finalising
the Plan.
Commission Decision 2006/679/EC lays down that each Member State is
to draw up a national plan for implementing ERTMS and that, based on those
plans, the Commission is to draw up a European master plan. To take account
of recent developments, the Commission has decided to consult both the
Member States and the industry in order to determine an economically viable
strategy which enables the competitiveness of the rail industry to be
strengthened and is consistent with the objectives of the rail
interoperability Directives.
