Message
• Passenger transport demand of rail− stagnation / low growth− loss of market share against car
• Goods transport demand of rail− low and strong growth− setbacks in growth− strong competition against road
• Strong need for action− keeping high level of goods transport

Recommondation (1): Financial Sources
• Fair cost-sharing between users & taxpayers
• Longterm goal: internalisation of external cost
• Shortterm: cross-payment from road to rail

Recommondation (2): Pros and Cons of P.P.P.
• Pros
- Not registered on public balance sheets
- Efficient cost- and implementation management
- Risk sharing between public and private sector
• Cons
- Only high profitable projects
- Unbalanced risk sharing (?)
- Efficient cost- and implementation managment also achievable with „functional tendering and bidding“
- Private investors: higher interest rates than governmental corporations

- infrastructure + transport policy
- all modes
- defined quantitative objectives
• Decision principles
- cost-benefit oriented decisions
- fact-oriented priorities & implementation
- efficient project management
- longterm financing plan

Conclusion
• Successful railway financing → result of political willingness
• No political decision → decision for continuation as hitherto
