The Single European Railway Directive 2012 (2012/34/EU) is an EU Directive that regulates railway networks in European Union law. This recast the "First Railway Directive" or "Package" from 1991,[1] and allows open access operations on railway lines by companies other than those that own the rail infrastructure. The legislation was extended by further directives to include cross border transit of freight.
In September 2010, the process of merging the directives into a single piece of legislation was begun, with the addition of modifications to strengthen the regulatory framework.[2] The Second Railway Package, the Third Railway Package, and the Fourth Railway Package aim to push integration further.
