Founded in 1950 National Associations Produces nearly half of all tonne-km carried around Europe European Fleet of about 200,000 rail freight wagons Freight Wagon Keepers and ECMs (Entities in Charge of Maintenance) Seat in Brussels

INPUTS  Monitor EU legislation that affects or may affect wagon keepers in the future  Understand and Assess member’s business and operational priorities  Develop members’ positions though joint efforts and expertise in dedicated Topical Committees  Ensure cross-fertilization OUTPUTS  Provide expert knowledge on EU legislation and policy developments  Raise awareness before the EU Institutions and the Rail Sector of the business and operational priorities of rail freight and the wagon keepers  Influence EU legislation at technical and policy levels by promoting member’s positions, best practices, and studies How do we work

Revision of the TSI Noise Revision of the Environmental Noise Directive 2016 Mandate & ERA Working Party 2017 Delegated act Extension of Scope to Existing wagons Revised impact assessment REFIT Process Consultation before decision Consultation Decision – Dec 2016 / Jan 2017 Goals Time frame EC Staff Working Document on Noise – not binding, and does not offer concrete measures Critical Issues Need to discuss the economic impact with EC, ERA and MS Definition of “national” and “international” wagons + derogation cases (opt outs from geographical, technical, economical point of views?) Roles and responsibilities in supervising and monitoring retrofitting

EC Staff Working Document (no communication) addressed to NL Presidency on Current outcome of EC Noise roadmap published on 04/2013 Content of EC Staff Working Document Acknowledges that noise is a European issue and that the current measures are insufficient to ensure a noticeable reduction of railway noise within 5-10 years Acknowledges the inefficiency and the risks linked to uncoordinated unilateral actions by Member States (reverse modal split, bottlenecks, breach of interoperability, distortion of competition,…) Points out that the holistic approach (internalisation of noise costs by al transport modes) is by far the best performing measure to be taken Confirms that the NDTAC bonus can be increased to take into account the higher operating costs linked with the use of retrofitted wagons Highlights that national funding programmes supporting the retrofitting of freight wagons should be limited to 50 % of relevant investment costs but that EU funds are a complement to them Proposes the development of noise-related standards of railway infrastructure Proposes to revise the TSI Noise and to introduce a gradual applicability of the noise limit to the existing freight wagon fleet

Instruments/Policy-Mix today  NDTAC (introduction under discussion in CZ and AT, others?)  CEF co-funding 2015 – 2020: 20% of eligible costs for retrofitting wagons: will the Sector make use of it?  (new) Gradual application of TSI NOISE limit values to existing freight wagons (after entry into force of 4 th RP, 2 Task Force meetings before): o Limit values to apply to all international freight wagons by ?, conditions to derogate at national level: wagon-km, life cycle, noise maps, technical solution…? o Limit values to apply to all freight wagons by ?  (new) noise-related standards of railway infrastructure, How ? Where? TSI Noise revision under EC delegated act (4 th RP)
