The entry into force of the revised TEN-T regulation (EU) 2024/1679 assigned specific responsibilities to the Railway Undertaking Advisory Groups (RAGs) of the Rail Freight Corridors (RFCs) introduced by the RFC regulation (EU) 913/2010.

Due to this extension of responsibility a clear ruling on powers and duties of Railway Undertakings (RUs) being part of a RAG as well as on the mandate of the speaker of the RAG is deemed necessary.

For this purpose, the community of RAG speakers, gathered within the scope of the UIC project Efficient Cross Corridor Organization (ECCO), has written a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), common to all RFCs, to regulate these aspects.

The Management Board of RFC ScanMed acknowledged this MoU and invites all RUs willing to also formalize their adherence to the MoU to provide an email-statement to andrea-marco.penso@deutschebahn.com [the RAG speaker] and stefano.marcoccio@scanmedfreight.eu [MD of RFC ScanMed].

RUs who do not wish to be part of the MoU will still be able to participate in RAG meetings and reply to consultations independently.
