The International Transport Forum (ITF) published a report entitled "Charges for the use of rail infrastructure - current status and developments since 2004" in late 2008. The ITF is an inter-governmental body within the OECD family. Its objective is to serve political leaders and a larger public in developing a better understanding of the role of transport in economic growth and the role of transport policy. The International Transport Forum was created under a Declaration issued by the Council of Ministers of the ECMT (European Conference of Ministers of Transport) at its Ministerial Session in May 2006 under the legal authority of the Protocol of the ECMT, signed in Brussels on 17 October 1953, and legal instruments of the OECD - Preparatory study for an impact assessment for a rail network giving priority to freight
