The private Romanian rail sector, led by the Employers’ Organization of Private Railway Companies (OPSFPR) and the Romanian Railway Industry Association (AIF), plans to create an independent advisory council to revitalize the struggling railway system. With issues like slow freight transport and the bankruptcy of national operator CFR Marfă, stakeholders are dissatisfied and seek a body that can influence policy-making. The council aims to coordinate a strategic vision, enhance infrastructure, reduce bureaucracy, improve safety, and promote green transport. Key goals include aligning with European policies and stimulating the sector’s competitiveness in the European market.
