Even if liberalization in rail industry is not a completely new direction, the development process has been accelerated recently. European railway industry has been pushed to the new era with different competitive environment which was motivated by the EU effort to revitalize the EU’s railway. This paper summarizes effects permitting competition into rail freight and ways how to do it, and then it assesses a level of rail freight in the EU countries and finds out causes of low performance or low degree of liberalization respectively. |
