Debate subject:
As part of this year’s TRAKO fair, the Pro Kolej Fundacja – together with their close partners – will be organising an international conference on the topic of European Rail Policy.
This year’s debate, to be held on 23 September 2015 in Gdańsk, is an attempt to answer the question: ‘Why has EU financing failed to untap the full potential of the Polish rail industry and what can be done to speed up its development?’ The agenda will cover topics related to the integration, modernisation and liberalisation of the railway sector, as well as the opportunities that could arise from additional EU funding in transport.
Other topics to be tackled at this year’s conference will include the opportunities and threats connected with the implementation of the Fourth Railway Package, implementation of new Operational Programmes, as well as the long term perspective for rail-related investments beyond the year 2020.
Leading experts from abroad will give introductory presentations and participate in the discussion panel. They will include representatives from the European Commission, European Parliament, international institutions as well as the largest rail companies in Europe.
