The gradual opening up of access to national rail infrastructure to competition goes hand in hand with a guarantee of fairness, a key issue for regulation in this area.
The rail companies operating on the national rail network have to deal with numerous organisational issues over which they have unequal control. To name but a few, the allocation of traffic slots in conjunction with the network operator, pricing, operational management of train traffic and the maintenance and development of the network and service facilities can represent serious barriers to entry, accentuated in the medium term by the issues specific to the opening up of non-subsidised regional lines to competition.
To gain a better understanding of these different issues, the Governance and Regulation Chair organised a conference at which three representative players from the new ecosystem discussed the operational barriers to entry in terms of rail infrastructure and the tools for intervention by the regulator, the measures put in place by the incumbent network operator to facilitate the opening up to competition, and the perception of the situation by a new entrant.
