The underlying aim of this Regulation is to increase the utilisation of railway infrastructure by making a more efficient use of that infrastructure through better planning and allocation processes, and through improved cross-border coordination, and thereby to contribute to an increase of rail services in line with the Union’s decarbonisation targets. However, additional measures, beyond the scope of this Regulation, will be needed at all levels, to further enhance railway infrastructure capacity in order to meet the increased demand for rail capacity, both by passenger and freight services, and to increase the overall competitiveness of rail.
