Rail transport statistics

The committee adopted the report by Juan OJEDA SANZ (EPP-ED, E) approving the proposal under the codecision procedure (1st reading), subject to a few amendments. One of these called for the provision of statistics on investments in rail network infrastructure by type of network, by region and by source of funding, on the grounds that such data would be useful when developing the transport-related aspects of regional policy. The committee also felt that it would be useful to compile data on passenger numbers with a breakdown by train type (i.e. international, national, inter-city, etc.). �
