The operation of railway infrastructure not only requires close cooperation between infrastructure managers, but also a strong interaction with railway undertakings and other stakeholders directly involved in rail and multimodal transport and logistic operations. Therefore, it is necessary to provide for structured consultation between infrastructure managers and other stakeholders. The European Railway Platform (the ERP) should be the platform to handle this structured consultation as it is expected to consist of representatives of all stakeholders involved in rail transport services, including but not limited to, railway undertakings, operators of service facilities or operators of multimodal transport terminals. The ERP should be able to provide ENIM with its opinions during the development of the European frameworks and give concrete experiences and practical suggestions for specific challenges and help to further improve the functioning of European rail transport services.
