Introduction In order to meet market needs, the methods for establishing a freight corridor is presented in an Implementation Plan, which includes identifying and setting a schedule for measures which would improve the performance of rail freight. Regulation (EU) 913/2010, adopted by the European Parliament and the Council on 22 September 2010, entered into force on 9th November 2010, enacting the establishment of international rail corridors for a European rail network for competitive freight, with the overall purpose of increasing international rail freight attractiveness and efficiency. The Annex to the Regulation has been replaced by the text of Annex II to the Regulation (EU) 1316/2013. A list of 9 initial corridors is annexed to Regulation, providing their respective latest implementation date (2013 and 2015). Rail Freight Corridors are going to reconcile various types of existing corridors, such as ERTMS- and RNE-corridors (Art. 4(b)). They are also expected to be integrated in the TEN-T Network, in the framework of the new concept of Core Transport Network introduced by the EC proposal “on Union guidelines for the development of the Trans- European Transport Network” of 24th October 2011 which has pre-identified 10 core network corridors for the financing period 2014-2020. The establishment of international rail corridors for a European rail network can be considered as the most suitable method to meet specific needs in identified segments of the freight market on which freight trains can run under high service quality standards and easily pass from one national network to another thanks to the respect of interoperability requirements. The creation of a European rail freight market is also an essential factor in making progress towards sustainable mobility and its opening, from 1 January 2007, achieved the aim of stimulating competition, making it possible for new operators to enter rail network. Nevertheless, it seems that market mechanisms are not ensuring a sufficient range of quality of rail freight traffic, so the Rail Freight Corridors Regulation is addressing the need of additional procedures to strengthen cooperation on international capacity allocation thus optimizing the use of the network and improving its reliability. Coordination among infrastructure managers on investment and on the management of capacities and traffic has to be optimized in order to provide consistency and continuity along the corridors. In that regard, specific measures need to be adopted for removing
