Subject: Request to reconfirm or nominate Member States’ governmental experts to the Commission Expert Group on the Competitiveness of the Rail Supply Industry
Dear Sir or Madam,
As you may know, in 2018 the European Commission set up an expert group (‘the group’) on the competitiveness of the Rail Supply Industry (‘RSI’). The original mandate of the group, expired at the end of 2022, was subsequently extended until 31 December 2025.
The Commission has recently decided to renew the mandate of the Expert Group on the Competitiveness of the Rail Supply Industry and to extend it until 31 December 2028.
The group's overall mission is to assist and advise the Commission in promoting the competitiveness of the EU RSI. The group shall identify and evaluate the challenges faced by the RSI, and discuss how to maintain its global leadership, strengthen the resilience of the industry and facilitate its twin transition in line with the EU strategic objectives, building inter alia on the Clean Industrial Deal, the Competitiveness Compass and the High-Speed Rail Plan. The group is composed of approximately 60 members, including governmental experts nominated by Member States as well as experts representing relevant organisations selected through a public call for applications. The updated terms of reference of the expert group are available here <https://ec.europa.eu/transparency/expert-groups-register/screen/expert-groups/consult?lang=en&groupID=3536> .
Against this background, we would like to invite you to nominate (or reconfirm) one governmental expert to represent your member state in the group. The names and details (administration, position, email, telephone) of the nominated experts should be sent by 30 June 2026 at the latest by email to:
[email protected] <mailto:
[email protected]> and
[email protected] <mailto:
[email protected]> .
We remain at your disposal for any clarification needed.
Kind regards,
