CER supports a harmonised European Approach for Safety Certification and Vehicle Authorisation
CER wishes to see a sound agreement between the European Parliament and the Council by June 2013 and the approval of the 4th Railway Package
CER proposes to favor the negotiation of the Technical Pillar of the 4th Railway Package, with the main focus on Interoperability Directive and Safety Directive

The Voice of European Railways
The 4th Railway Package - will it revitalise the
European railways?
•The high costs, long timescales and uncertainty of the various national authorisations require a simplified European approach
•The 4th Railway Package will simplify and accelerate the authorisation
Interoperability
•The high costs and uncertainty of the various national certifications require a simplified European approach.
•The 4th Railway Package will streamline this approach Safety
•The European Railway Agency is promoted as one-stop-shop
•The 4th Railway Package offers a simplification of the procedures and a clear distinction of tasks
