background The Commission of the European Union proposed in 2008 the creation of a European rail network for competitive freight, consisting of international corridors. The aim is to achieve reliable and good quality railway freight services to be able to compete with other modes of transport. The rail transport for goods has been experiencing difficulties in Europe for more than thirty years for a number of reasons: changes in industry, the development of motorways, and new logistic requirements on the part of companies. In order to respond to these difficulties, the Community has launched an active transport policy for the revitalisation of rail transport based on progressively opening up transport services to competition (effective for all freight since 1 January 2007) and developing the interoperability of rail systems. The Commission's objective to initiate Regulation (EU) 913/2010 of 22 September 2010 concerning a European rail network for competitive freight (hereinafter: Regulation) was to improve the service provided by the infrastructure managers to international freight operators. It was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 20 October 2010 and entered into force on 9 November 2010. Through the Regulation the Commission would like to act in the following main areas corresponding to the process of harmonization: • improving coordination between Infrastructure Managers; • improving the conditions of access to infrastructure; • guaranteeing freight trains adequate priority; • and improving inter-modality along the corridors. The purpose of the Regulation is to create a competitive European rail network composed
