The European Community's transport policy is concerned with developing and optimising transport infrastructure and ensuring its sound management in terms of quality, reliability, flexibility and customer orientation. However, there is still concern about the sustainable financing of existing rail infrastructure, the quality of infrastructure service and how to get infrastructure managers to perform better. The Communication to the European Parliament and the Council on "Multi-annual contracts for rail infrastructure quality" COM(2008)54 adopted on 6 February 2008 recommends measures to Member States and infrastructure managers to combine financial equilibrium with an appropriate level of rail infrastructure services.
