The evolution of European Rail Freight Corridors (RFCs) – created by Regulation 913/2010 – have been closely assisted by UIRR both in the legislative phase and during implementation in the past decade. RFCs are viewed as an effective solution to increase the efficiency and thus the performance of rail freight in Europe. The regulation, having been adopted nearly ten years ago, is highly due for a comprehensive evaluation followed by a comprehensive set of corrective amendments. UIRR is convinced that the performance of Rail Freight Corridors, and cross-border freight trains, can be considerably improved this way.
