An exhibition by UIRR in conjunction with CT4EU, hosted by MEP Vivien Costanzo

(only upon personal invitation and registration)

“Combined Transport Delivers”, the opening ceremony of the Exhibition took place in the European Parliament on Monday 18 November

We’re delighted with the fantastic start to this week-long exhibition running from 18 to 21 November! Combined Transport for Europe 2024-2026 campaign – CT4EU is a proud supporter of this initiative and invites all MEPs to visit the exhibition to get to know Combined Transport and its efficiencies

Key takeaways from our VIP speakers:

• MEP Vivien Costanzo, exhibition host and shadow rapporteur for the Combined Transport Directive revision, introduced the benefits of CT in terms of sustainability and economic resilience, advocating for effective cross-border cooperation through harmonised European approach.
• Fotini Ioannidou, Director DG MOVE.D underlined the urgent need to address climate change by reducing carbon emissions and highlighted the role of CT in this challenge. She called for a European perspective on CT and the successful revision of the Directive, presenting the eFTI Regulation as a useful tool.
• Michail Stahlhut, Chairman of UIRR and CEO of Hupac Group, highlighted CT’s success in boosting productivity and sustainability, urging the removal of administrative barriers and smooth rail capacity management. He called for policymakers to finalise the Rail Capacity Regulation and revise the Combined Transport Directive.

The exhibition draws special attention in light of two ongoing key legislative dossiers: the Rail Infrastructure Capacity Management Regulation and the revision of the Combined Transport Directive.

UIRR, who produced this exhibition, also offered its Policy Expectations 2024-2029 paper: https://www.uirr.com/en/component/downloads/downloads/1876.html
