1. Proposal to establish a Shift2Rail Joint Undertaking Council Land Transport Working Party - Brussels 22 January 2014 European Commission - DG MOVE

2. AGENDA Background and EU Policy context Objectives and key elements of the Regulation

3. AGENDA Background and EU Policy context Objectives and key elements of the Regulation

4. Insufficient growth of rail markets Poor consumer satisfaction Fragmentation of rail markets and diversity of national standards Low profitability due to product customisation, capital-intensity of investments, long product lifecycles, and long and costly authorisation procedures Reliance on public subsidies Increasing global competition in the rail industry Technical know-how in decline with 30% of sector workforce retiring within next 10 years Key challenges of the rail sector

5.  What are we doing about it?

6. White Paper – a vision for rail transport 2050 Freight Shift 50% of road freight over 300 km to other modes Double rail freight volumes Connect all seaports to the rail freight system Rail Freight CorridorsDeploy ERTMS Passenger Triple length of high-speed rail network Majority of medium-distance passenger transport by rail Connect all core network airports to the rail network

7. EU Policy context

8. Fourth Railway Package Remove administrative and technical barriers to improve interoperability and safety Open domestic rail passenger transport to competition Better governance of rail infrastructure  Improve competitiveness of rail  Spend public money more efficiently  Improve competitiveness of rail  Spend public money more efficiently Innovation pillar of the Single European Railway Area

9. Measures contained in the Fourth Railway Package will be important but not sufficient. The rail sector needs major and coordinated investments in R&I that respond to market needs and contribute to completing EU transport policy objectives: To reduce the costs of public service obligations To optimise traffic management To reduce the costs of infrastructure maintenance & renewal To increase demand for rail passenger services To increase demand for rail freight services To ensure provision of adequate competence and skilled human resources Why an Innovation pillar?

10. Close the gap in the innovation chain (from ideas to market) Support market uptake and impact by enabling the testing of innovative solutions under real-world conditions Ensure strong involvement of all stakeholders thanks to collaborative nature of demonstrators Strengthen the European dimension with cross-border demonstrators Quantify the impact of the introduction of each new technology and of different combinations of technologies Provide increased visibility and generate interest in the rail industry to attract top graduates from across Europe Why Technology Demonstrators?

11. Activities to focus around five areas or "Innovation Programmes": New generation of high-quality, reliable rolling stock that substantially reduces the cost of rail services, drastically improves the quality of rail services and facilitates the use of trains throughout various Member States; Intelligent traffic management and control systems, beyond signalling, building on current ERTMS, to optimise capacity, reliability and minimise life-cycle cost; New railway infrastructure system that will radically improve capacity and performance and reduce costs related to development, maintenance and renewals; Key priority areas for rail R&I

12. Innovative IT solutions and services to make railway services more attractive; Sustainable and attractive freight solutions, helping rail to enter into new market segments and become an integrated part of advanced logistic solutions. Key priority areas for rail R&I Estimated needs to cover all 5 IPs = 1.2 to 1.4 billion € Based on draft industry technical proposals

13. FP7 rail research (2007 to 2013): 155 M€ for rail research = 3.7% of total Transport Research budget Around 50 rail projects (excluding cross-cutting projects) Insufficient project coordination  risk of overlaps and/or of generating uncoordinated or redundant technologies Lack of system-wide approach with limited or uncoordinated participation of actors from the full rail value chain Limited market uptake of innovations with EU funding focused on pre-competitive innovation at low Technology Readiness Levels and "estranged" from market needs Limited leverage effect (30% of private funding on average) SMEs = 16% of funding What's already been done?

14. Focus and coordination of research efforts: Reduce fragmentation of R&I efforts and focus them on areas with high EU added value (SERA and competitiveness) Leverage of EU rail R&I funding: Ensure long-term commitment from all partners and to leverage additional resources for R&I Broad stakeholder participation and sustained networks: Gather all the key players across Europe in partnerships to ensure a system-wide approach to innovation in rail and eventually better integrate infrastructure, rolling stock, signalling and other subsystems of the rail system What needs to be improved?

15. Market uptake: Close the gap in the innovation chain and support close-to-market projects that meet business and end-user needs Mitigation of innovation risks: Implement appropriate risk- sharing mechanisms taking into account capital-intensity of investments, long product lifecycles, and long and costly authorisation procedures Operational performance and cost-effectiveness: Provide a simple, efficient and cost-effective framework for granting R&I What needs to be improved?

19. Article 19 of the Horizon 2020 Regulation: PPPs (institutional or contractual) may be established on the basis of strict criteria: added value of action at Union level; scale of impact on industrial competitiveness, sustainable growth and socio-economic issues; long-term commitment from all partners based on a shared vision and clearly defined objectives; scale of the resources involved and the ability to leverage additional investments in research and innovation; clear definition of roles for each of the partners and agreed key performance indicators over the period chosen.
