Activity Report 2007
2007 has been a crucial year for the whole public transport sector. Above all, it was marked by the break-up of the log-jam on legislation on the most important issue for our members: the European legal framework for public passenger transport. It was also the year of the preparation and launch of the Green paper on urban transport ‘Towards a new culture for urban mobility’.
Last but not least, work has continued on other current dossiers in the field of transport policy, safety and security and environment. 2007 has also seen a considerable expansion in the Committee’s involvement in EU research and standardisation.

UITP and European Rail Legislation Impacting Local Rail Networks (Urban, Suburban And Regional)
Local rail public passenger transport is impacted by the European “rail specific” legislation initially developed so as to promote the development of the trans-European rail networks.
 We are pleased to present in the brochure ‘UITP and European Rail Legislation Impacting Local Rail Networks’ the current state (March 2008) of this rail legislation in its relationship with local rail (suburban and regional conventional rail networks, and urban rail systems: metro, tramway and light rail), as well as the recommendations of UITP for the national application of this legislation by Member States and for future steps.
Among this European rail specific legislation only the texts impacting the local rail sector are mentioned.
The document also provides the legal references of other European legislation impacting the local rail sector (in Annex 2), and some information about the European bodies mentioned in the document (in Annex 1).
