Among the European Union’s long-term objectives are a higher volume of freight railway transports, a gradual liberalization of the railway transport, the setting up in the upcoming years of a sole market of European railway transport and a more steady development of the transport sector, which would reduce the negative effects upon the environment, the traffic jams and the accidents.
”The exemption from the payment of fuel excise may lead to re-launching the railway transport through cutting the transport tariffs for the passengers and freight railway transport“, the draft law said.
The amount spent to ensure the necessary fuel for train haulage represents over 13% of all the operating costs, so authorities hope that transport tariffs could be reduced by this amount.
