The UIC Railway Statistics
MoUs and agreements with third parties
Expanding UIC network with other main international institutions through MoUs, agreementsand partnerships:
> Financial institutions:
> Governmental organisations:
> Professional associations:
=> Exclusive agreements and benefit to all members
Access to their information and databases
UIC positioned as a broad technical platform with well perceived added value
Needs/requests from them, representing possible sources of financing for members.

MoUs and agreements with Banks
. Banks are experiencing strong demand from countries onhow to make railway sectors more effective
. UIC missions promote rail transport at world level
. UIC Railways members are increasing interest in exportingtheir capabilities
=> Service 1 / fixed price between members-UIC-Bank at cost
=> Service 2 / price between members Bank on a case bycase basis
=> Service 3 / price between members-UIC-Bank on a caseby case basis
Creating a marketplace
World Bank
UIC market place
ADB EIB Etc.
Etc.

Identify railway experts to assist Bank clients on secondment
Develop training programs for staff in developing countries

Task Contractual relationship
-> As Members should not be compromised in possible conflicts of interests,complete overview of the Bank projects will be provided, enabling them toestimate if they want to work for the Bank/UIC or if they want to bid for the tender
-> Establish a UIC database with profiles of staff from UIC members with properaccess rights and content
Just a glance at European history
> 1825: The First Railway in UK
> XIXth century: The Golden Age Industrial Era + Private companies.
> After WWI: Universal Access to Freight and Passengers leads to Governmentownership
> After WWII and the Marshall Plan:Era of the Road
Rail Freight marketshare down to 15 %
Strong intermodal competition with isolated railways
> End of XXth Century: Profitability issues.

Obstacles to Interoperability
Technical obstacles
>Overall regional (urban transports) and national (intercities)concepts which did not take international links into account.
> History of Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries created
different technologies from a country to an other.
> So different and multiple technologies as required or unwanted
new frontiers : Rolling stock,
Electric supply,Signalling systems,
Language issues ....
Obstacles to Interoperability
Legal obstacles
> The existence of monopolies in certain countries prevents from
liberalization
Well-known example of SNCF in railways
operation in France in the past.
> No legal frame in favor of liberalization.

21st Century: the need for more interoperability
Lack of space, lack of resources: a need forsustainable development
Boosting exchanges from country to country andcontinent to continent: international/optimodaltrade to optimize, faster, easier, economical
Unlocking emerging local economies: employment
issues, trade with neighbouring countries, => Legal, technical, financing, pricing issues
should be harmonized

Important Projects in GMS
Important Projects Rolling Stock Plan Procurement
Cambodia >Rehabilitation of Phnom Penh and Sihanouk line andPhnom Penh- Sisophen line
>Construction of 48km Sisophon- Poipet missing link
8 locos ,38 passenger coaches and
260 wagons by 2013
Myanmar >New lines of 1845 km are under construction>Upgrading of signalling and communication with OFCbetween Mandlay-Yangoon
Between 2004-2009 only 6% increase
in passenger coaches and 12 % inloco fleet but reduction in freight
wagons
Thailand Large scale doubling of lines planned including
upgradation
Plans to procure 20 locos, 308
container flats,6 passenger setsand 74 Diesel rail cars
Vietnam Upgradation of Existing linesHigh Speed line between North and south
Between 2004-2009 passengercoaches increased by 30% andfreight wagons by 12% .However locomotive fleet gotreduced.

Loosing Competitive Edge
> Small networks with practically no inter country linkages ( except Vietnam-China )
> Railways not positioned for mass transport and bulk movement
Practically no growth in passenger coaches and freight wagon fleet except upperclass
> Lack of inputs over years in:
Network rehabilitation/expansion ( low axle loads, shorter trains )
Rolling stock ( no replacement strategy or expansion of fleet with network expansion)
Technology ( inadequate signalling and maintenance practices )
Development of Inland Container Depots did not facilitate containerisation and trade
> No encouraging policies for PPP which can bring investment in Rail sector
> Lack of Rail Reforms
Restructuring organisation with times
Lack of Employee training for improvement in skills

Forward Steps
Strengthening Network
> Encourage Interoperability by construction of missing links to haveregional rail network in place
> Harmonise important technical standards like Axle loads which enable freemovement of containers
> Strengthen port to hinterland connectivity first
> Develop Inland Container Depots or Dry Ports for capturing freight traffic
Asset Management
> Have asset replacement strategy in place
>
Plan rolling stock procurements with network expansion as part ofintegrated planning process
Forward Steps
Enhance efficiency by technological up-gradation
> Old signalling and communication systems needs to be replaced withefficient and safe systems
> Adopt track structure which suits the requirement for next 50 years
> Consider Life cycle costs while considering technological up-gradation
Restructure Organisation
> Give Railways freedom to plan and execute (Corporatisation ?)
> Focus on business lines rather than functional departments
> Infrastructure and Operation segregation is a difficult exercise , it needs tobe done when institutional mechanisms and access charges regime is inplace

19/19
Forward Steps
Financing
> Encourage PPP for generating finances for rail development
> Involve ports , local industry , shipping lines in developing freightterminals and freight lines
> Passenger tariff on commercial lines
> Lobby with governments for social service obligations to be paid to theoperator for subsidising transport
> ADB/World Bank should also finance international rail corridordevelopment and ICD development
Manpower Development> Set up joint training and research facilities at the regional level
