The access charge for using the network is one of the most significant cost items for European freight railway companies, reaching even 35% of total operating costs.
In spite of the two important regulatory devices of the European Union that regulate the access charge, the Directive 2012/33 and the Regulation 2015/909, significant problems persist in relation to the methodology for calculating direct costs and markups in various member countries.
The conference, jointly organized by CESISP and by ERFA – European Rail Freight Association, aims to analyze the problems related to the calculation of the access charge in the European transport with a particular focus on the Italian market.
Various market players and industry experts discuss the topic
