1 The railway packages Development of EU railway policy has focused on what are termed the three ‘railway packages’. The first of these was the launch on 15 March 2003 of the Trans-European Rail Freight Network (TERFN), based on the provisions of the Railway Directive 91/440/EEC of 1991, permitting open access for international rail services across the EU. This was followed, on 23 January 2002, when the EC adopted the so-called ‘second package’ of measures to revitalize the railways by building an integrated European railway area, in particular by opening up more quickly the international rail-freight market, by proposing a new directive on railway safety and by establishing a European Railway Agency.
