The European Parliament approved an agreement reached with the Council on the EU-wide approval of different types of railway rolling stock.
Under the new legislation, any rolling stock already approved for use in one Member State will have to be accepted in the other states. This will cut red tape and should boost the development of rail transport in Europe.
Heritage, museum and tourist railways are exempted from the directive, as the result of another successful demand by Parliament.
Let's see them try to run a TGV on the ECML then!
