In the coming months the European Commission intends to adopt a new package of measures, the so-called 4th railway package, to open domestic passenger rail markets to competition, to reduce the time-to-market of the rolling stock (through a strengthening of the role of European Railways Agency) and to improve the governance of railway infrastructure (to reinforce efficiency of railway operations and improve competition).
Lähikuudel kavatseb Euroopa Komisjon vastu võtta uue meetmepaketi, nn neljanda raudteepaketi, et avada raudtee-reisijateveo siseturg konkurentsile, vähendada veeremi turulejõudmise aega (tugevdades Euroopa Raudteeagentuuri rolli) ja täiustada raudteetaristu haldamist (et suurendada raudteetranspordi tõhusust ja parandada konkurentsi).
