Ministers greenlight liberalisation of cross-border railways

EU transport ministers have hammered out a proposal to boost competition in cross-border rail services, despite protests of rail unions against the move.

Under the rules agreed on Monday (5 December), member states should prepare the ground for liberalisation of the sector in 2010.

The decision provides for national railway companies to offer their services in another member state, carrying passengers from one station to another in that same foreign country.
