Summary/Abstract: European railway transport that it’s still based on national considerations, in comparison with the predominant trend of client orientation is in the phase of establishing an area of integrated railway transportation. First steps of the European transportation liberalization were made from 2000 through the project Railway package, through which International Chamber of Commerce proposes a series of measures in order to liberalize railway transports and to have a market orientation. The partnership between govern authorities, managers and infrastructure owners must be unreeled on the basis of a schedule that refers to the application of liberalization decisions and the integration of the entire rail transportation network of goods starting with 2008. The insistences of European Commission were also asserted through White Charter that defines the measures, proposals and functioning principles but also the creation of European Railway Transportation Agency.
