To assess whether relevant railway undertakings and infrastructure managers complied with the domestic legislation and underlying directives. To review the evidence that railway undertakings or infrastructure managers have been cross-subsidising different activities To review the evidence that railway undertakings or infrastructure managers have been inappropriately using public funds. To obtain financial data on all railway undertakings and infrastructure managers with revenues of Euro 50m or more. To establish best practice guidelines for accounting separating by railway businesses. 1.1.4 Our findings on these topics are summarised below. Full details of our research and analysis are provided in detailed country chapters. 1.2 Member States transposition of Accounting Separation directives 1.2.1 The purpose of this task was to assess the extent to which Member States had transposed the accounting separation provisions of the EU railway directives. 1.2.2 Our review involved obtaining copies of domestic legislation relating to accounting separation and comparing it to the underlying directives. In particular, our review assessed the transposition of the elements of the directive set out in Table 1 below. Table 1 Accounting Separation elements of Directive 2001/12/EC Article Issue 6.1 ‘Member States shall take the measures necessary to ensure that separate profit and loss accounts and balance sheets are kept and published, on the one hand, for business relating to the provision of transport services by railway undertakings and, on the other, for business relating to the management of railway infrastructure..’ 6.1 ‘Public funds paid to one of these two areas of activity may not be transferred to the other.’ 1 ITT for study p10 3 Article Issue 6.1 ‘The accounts for the two areas of activity shall be kept in a way that reflects this prohibition.’ 6.2 ‘Member States may also provide that this separation shall require the organisation of distinct divisions within a single undertaking or that the infrastructure shall be managed by a separate entity.’ 9.4 ’In the case of railway undertakings profit and loss accounts and either balance sheets or annual statements of assets and liabilities shall be kept and published for businesses relating to the provision of rail freight transport services.’ 9.4 ’Funds paid for activities relating to the provision of passenger-transport services as public service remits must be shown separately in the relevant accounts…’ 9.4 ’…and may not be transferred to activities relating to the provision of other transport services or any other business.’ 1.2.3 We encountered a number of issues in determining whether or not member states had fully transposed the legislation, or whether companies separated accounts were consistent with the directives: Article 6.1 ‘take the measures necessary…’. 1.2.4 We have interpreted this requirement to “take the necessary measures” as principally one requiring the implementation of legislation requiring relevant businesses to prepare and publish separated accounts. Where identified, we have also commented on the responsibility or authority of regulators to enforce this requirement. Article 6.1 publication of accounts 1.2.5 In considering whether or not companies had ‘published’ their accounts, we reviewed company websites, sent companies questionnaires and, where possible, made enquiries at the national companies’ registrar to identify accounts they were available to the public (in some cases for a fee). We note that in some cases, accounts may be ‘published’ but that our review has not identified this due to lack of response to our enquiries. Articles 6.1 and 9.4 transfer of funds 1.2.6 The possible transfer of public funds can be considered as being either direct or indirect. A direct transfer could occur for example by the simple use of public service funding received for passenger service operations for the funding of freight operations. Indirect transfers of funds could occur in a number of less transparent ways including: the transfer of profits from one activity to another (for example via a holding company) through transfer pricing arrangements cross subsidies from one service to another the sale or transfer of assets or liabilities 4 1.2.7 Following guidance from the Commission, we have assumed that this directive should be interpreted to cover indirect, as well as direct, transfers of funds. 1.2.8 However, because the separated accounts in nearly all cases do not provide sufficient information to enable the detailed analysis required to assess whether or not indirect transfer of funds has occurred, we have determined that in most cases the accounts are not prepared “in a way that reflects this prohibition”. Article 9.4 publication of funds received for public service remits. 1.2.9 The Commission has indicated to us that, in their view, compliance with this directive requires publication of funds received

    KA1 – MOBILITY OF YOUTH WORKERS 2019-2-EL02-KA105-005118 TRAINING COURSE “European Values Equalizers” Trikala, Greece 25 Aug – 3 Sep 2021 ABOUT THE PROJECT The project "European Values Equalizers" is a residential Training Course that will take place in the city of Trikala, Greece, between 25 August to 3 September 2021, with the participation of 10 partner organizations from Greece, Croatia, Italy, North Macedonia, Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Belarus, Armenia, Georgia and Ukraine. The project will include 30 youth workers and youth leaders (3 participants per country), 2 trainers and 2 support staff. SUMMARY In today’s society very often we are dealing with the discussions about what are European values, what defines us as Europeans, do we talk about values which are practiced and respected only in European Union or in Europe in general? As this is the topic which is very often and which very often confuse young people but also about which we don’t care enough, especially today in time of globalization. If we take a look in knowledge which young people are gaining through the formal education in their schools and universities, mostly they don’t even mention European values as something on what we should pay attention and something what we should promote and use in our everyday life. On the other side, if we open media articles today, we will find a lot of significant titles related with discrimination, radicalization and violence of human rights all around the world. If we start to work with young people on education about European values and promotion of European values such as tolerance, respect of human rights, antidiscrimination, equality, democracy and rule of law, we are sure that we can prevent youth radicalization, discrimination and violence of human rights but also we can take part in creation of better future of our common European society.

  • Malpensa Airport North Railway Link: Impact of Expected Traffic Onto the Existing Network
    Malpensa Airport North Railway Link: impact of expected traffic onto the existing network Faculty of Civil and Industrial Engineering Department of Civil Constructional and Environmental Engineering Master Degree in Transport Systems Engineering Candidate: Filippo Zanzarin - 1746819 Supervisor Co-supervisor Prof. Stefano Ricci Ing. Emmanuele Vaghi A.A. 2017-2018 ABSTRACT This work presents an analysis about the performances of the lines and the nodes involved in the upgrade process of Malpensa International Airport accessibility. This study is developed throughout a new complete analysis model consisting of the rational integration of existing methods. The methodology proposed and applied for the evaluation of the railway infrastructural upgrade solutions for the development of the connections between Milan and its airport is conveniently developed and improved according to the study requirements. The evaluation of line and node capacity is carried out considering the actual and future layouts of the railway network at a regional level and the actual and planned services offered by the railway supplier. The results obtained recommend infrastructural upgrades in order to make available the matching network capacity. The analysis of the lines and the nodes involved in this process, as well as the effectiveness of the proposed infrastructural improvements, is strengthened by a scheduling analysis and the application of a simulation method. i TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ..............................................................................................................................................
