The FTE Plenary Assembly

The FTE Plenary Assembly took place on 2 December. 

This was the first time the Assembly convened after the Trilogue on the Capacity Regulation concluded, which shaped the agenda for the meeting. 

 

Key decisions taken: 

  • A proposal to establish the European Railway Platform as an inclusive market voice 

  • Amendments to the FTE Statutes to include traffic management and extend membership eligibility to service facilities 

  • A decision to further investigate a revised, more attractive membership fee system 

 

FTE President Philipp Mäder summed up the meeting: “This was a timely meeting right after the conclusion of the Capacity Regulation Trilogue to discuss what this new legal framework will mean for FTE and its members. I was pleased we could align on the two main strategic topics: the setup of the European Railway Platform and the confirmation to further investigate a revised and more attractive membership fee model.” 

 

The next FTE Plenary Assembly is planned for 19 May 2026.
