The Government's lack of vision in supporting the transport infrastructure development

Open letter to
Emil Boc, Romanian Prime Minister,
Radu Berceanu, Romanian Minister of Transport and Infrastructure

Dear Mr. Prime Minister,
Dear Mr. Minister,

The Romanian Railway Industry Association (AIF) has taken note of the most recent declarations of central authorities concerning the dismissal of a large number of employees from the national railway companies. We consider this useful to increasing productivity and reducing the financial pressures on railway state-owned companies' budget. However, AIF considers the opinion of the Romanian Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure regarding the level of railway transport acceptability by the population and by companies, as well as that of investments in new technology as being mostly groundless.

Cost-cutting solutions for CFR Călători. REVA Simeria – new solution on the railway market(… appeared from the lack of funds for railway passenger transport modernisation)

Adaptability of Romanian companies in times of crisis: “Turnkey contract” - a complete solution for overcoming the economic crisis

REVA Simeria plans to develop a wide range of compartmented salon coaches, which come from the redesign, refurbishment and modernisation of older passenger coaches, series 2047-2057 and 2147-2157, for a price of approximately RON 1,300,000. This price is approximately 30% lower than the prices stipulated in the frame agreements signed until now by CFR Călători.
Although it is mandatory to intensify the rolling stock renewal and modernisation policy, as a priority measures which derives from the Priority Measure Plan for European Integration, the funds allocated to that end have dropped over the years.
The limited state budget, the economic crisis, the constant need for cost-efficient measures have determined Romanian companies to seek, together with CFR Călători, innovative solutions to surpass this deadlock. One of the companies that have come up with a solution is REVA Simeria.

Question of the week
Do you think the measures imposed by the IMF to eliminate the subsidies granted to CFR SA, CFR Călători, CFR Marfă, CFR Electrificare and Metrorex, as well as the possibility to grant credits in 2010 only to CFR Călători and CFR SA are efficient?
No, the measures are abusive and infringe the EU principles for the support of the railway transport.
These measures will lead to the collapse of the Romanian railway transport system.
Absolutely not, maybe after several years.
Yes, they might, if the conclusion would be that these firms could work without subsidies.
