Post Implementation Review Channel Tunnel Safety Order
Title: Post implementation review of the Channel Post Implementation Review Tunnel (Safety) Order 2007 and the Channel Source of intervention: Domestic Tunnel (Safety) (Amendment) Order 2013 PIR No: DfTPIR0029 Type of regulation: Secondary legislation Lead department or agency: Department for Transport Type of review: Statutory - other Contact for enquiries: Date of implementation: 26/03/2013 [email protected] Summary: Renew RPC Opinion: Not Applicable 1a. What were the policy objectives of the measure? The Channel Tunnel (Safety) Order (CTSO) 2007 establishes a common regulatory framework for railway safety in the Channel Tunnel (binational regulations negotiated with France), in cooperation with France and in line with the Treaty of Canterbury (1986). In 2013, the Government implemented a new binational regulation to implement EU Directives introduced since 2007 - the Channel Tunnel (Safety) (Amendment) Order 2013 (CTSAO 2013). The principal purpose of these amendments is to give effect to a new bi-national regulation, with the aim of facilitating a single European market for products and services and ensuring the safe running of trains through the Channel Tunnel. There were 4 policy objectives to this measure: 1. Bring the Channel Tunnel into line with provisions already in place in the UK and France; 2. Achieve consistency of approach to rail vehicle maintenance across the European Union; 3. Assist railway undertakings to better control risks and costs through assurance that any vehicles they haul have an appropriate maintenance regime in place. 4. Alleviate barriers to trade in the form of duplication, unnecessary costs and delay in the safety authorisation process. Following the triggering of Article 50, negotiations have begun to exit the EU and until these are concluded the UK remains a full member of the European Union and all the rights and obligations of EU membership remain in force.

Working Paper Document
Implementation of EU legislation on rail liberalisation in Belgium, France, Germany and The Netherlands Working Paper Document by Xavier Deville and Fabienne Verduyn March 2012 No 221 National Bank of Belgium Limited liability company RLP Brussels – Company’s number : 0203.201.340 Registered office : boulevard de Berlaimont 14 – BE -1000 Brussels www.nbb.be Editor Jan Smets Member of the Board of directors of the National Bank of Belgium © Illustrations : National Bank of Belgium Layout : NBB Microeconomic Analysis Cover : NBB AG – Prepress & Image Published in March 2012 ABSTRACT This study provides a detailed and easy-to read overview of the railway liberalisation in Belgium and the three neighbouring countries. The European Union's liberalisation Directives are often complex and are implemented in very specific ways in the different Member States. The analysis goes into some detail about the Commission's underlying motives and economic theories for letting network industries, which had previously been regarded as natural monopolies, convert into competitive enterprises with the separation of infrastructure from operations. The study takes a look at the impact of the European rail liberalisation Directives in Belgium and its neighbouring countries - France, Germany and the Netherlands. There are considerable variations in the way in which the Directives are applied. It is reflected in the way in which the separation of the infrastructure and the transport services within the railway companies was carried out, and in the degree of opening of the market in freight and passenger transport. The analysis shows that the dominance of the former monopolists in the different Member States means that private rail operators face major obstacles.
