The upcoming Capacity Regulation will significantly shape the future of European rail. In preparation, RNE has revised its “Guidelines for Harmonised Commercial Conditions” to reflect the latest developments and the sector’s needs.
To ensure these Guidelines meet broader sector requirements, RNE is now launching a public consultation and actively invites applicants and all involved stakeholders to contribute.
Pooling knowledge from across Europe will support IM’s work on establishing a coherent procedural and IT framework that will help enhance efficiency and minimise underused capacity.
Further details and background information about the Commercial Conditions Consultation are available on our dedicated consultation webpage.

We have made submitting your feedback as simple as possible.
Just follow two steps to contribute to more effective commercial conditions:

All contributions will be analysed and considered by the RNE Commercial Conditions Task Force when finalising the Guidelines.
Online Commercial Conditions Consultation Workshop
To support your participation, RNE hosted a virtual session on 30 June 2025 covering:
