SNCF, Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer français, has made the circular economy one of its strategic projects. SNCF has a first track record. However, these experiments confirm that the development of the circular economy within businesses is hampered by waste regulation and its lack of articulation with circular economy ambitions.

Although SNCF welcomes the objective of improving the availability and exchange of data, it is somewhat concerned about the lack of clarity and inaccuracy of the proposed Regulation. The means of implementing that regulation appear disproportionate to the objective pursued. In particular, the increase in the burden and costs on data holders seems disproportionate.

SNCF welcomes the upcoming revision of the Weights and Dimensions Directive and the opportunity to share its view on this complementary piece of the revision of the Combined Transports Directive. Together, we believe they will create the right framework helping the combined transport to reach the objectives to increase the rail freight traffic by 50% in 2030 and double by 2050 as stated in the Smart and Sustainable…
SNCF welcomes the introduction of the CRA and is convinced that it will be a valuable instrument for increasing cyber security. The sector makes use of both sector specific products and services and general-purpose solutions and services. The interplay between vertical and horizontal legislation should be further developed and sector specific legislation adapted accordingly. 1.
SNCF welcomes the Commission’s initiative to review the Network and Information Security (NIS) Directive and takes note of the several policy options identified in the roadmap. SNCF supports the policy option 3, which consist in introducing targeted changes to the current NIS Directive with a view to clarifying certain provisions and improving harmonisation of the current rules.
SNCF welcomes the opportunity to provide comments to this initiative from the European Commission regarding the availability of “high-value” datasets held by the public sector. SNCF provides through a dedicated platform more than 200 data sets that cover a wide range of static and dynamic data to maximise the use of data and to develop interoperable and interconnected services.
The SNCF group welcomes the Commission’s initiative to issue guidelines to the Member States for the adoption of their national plans for the acceleration of renewable energy sources. The consultation will make it possible to compile best practices at European level in order to effectively guide the implementation of Directive 2023/2413. The SNCF group calls for the swift adoption of these national plans.

Please find the SNCF Group’s contribution to the consultation attached. While the EU has set the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 55 % by 2030 and transport emissions by 90 % by 2 050 in its main objectives, it is becoming increasingly urgent to increase the modal share of the most sustainable transport and to support the development of the rail mode.

The introduction of a European Disability Card recognising the status of PRM between countries without leading to harmonisation of the definition seems to be a good initiative allowing PRMs to enjoy many benefits and not to suffer discrimination outside their country of origin. Today, the main problem is the way in which this card is issued.

Continuous improvement of travellers’ experience is a priority for the SNCF group, even beyond legal obligations. The Commission’s proposal for a regulation is therefore a priority issue. However, it comes in a context of a nascent market and must not prevent the emergence of new multimodal offers by creating an inadequate framework.

The SNCF Group supports the CountEmissionsEU initiative, which aims to encourage people and companies to use sustainable modes of transport. This initiative is a first step towards achieving a level playing field across the EU between transport modes. However, if the Commission's proposal goes in the right direction, it is not strong enough to generate a real change in the behavior of travelers and shippers.
SNCF welcomes the opportunity to share its feedback about the inception impact assessment on the guidelines for the development of the TEN-T network. In our view, the TEN-T network has been important in the establishment of a coherent transport infrastructure policy at European level and has notably enabled the coordination of cross-border infrastructure projects.
SNCF welcomes the publication of the inception impact assessment regarding the revision of the Combined Transport directive. Combined transport is one of the main drivers for achieving the ambitious growth targets for rail freight. In the context of the forthcoming revision of the Combined Transport Directive, the potential of intermodal solutions must be exploited.
SNCF welcomes the call of evidence which initiates the discussion on updating the current framework as for international capacity and traffic management. Need to have a network approach A network approach should be implemented (unlike the current corridor approach), providing RUs with a single point of contact (C-OSS).
SNCF Group very much welcomes the consultation launched by the European Commission regarding the VAT rules on passenger transport. SNCF Group has been calling for a long time for a fiscal level playing field between the different modes of transport, in particular when it comes to VAT. The difference in treatment between modes gives a clear advantage to the air sector both financially and administratively.

The position of SNCF on the Telematics TSI EN07 is following. ERA published the TAF/TAP recommendations in January 2022 after 4 years of work by the ERA TAF and TAP working parties according to the TSI revision mandate (decision 2017/1474) and traceability of the modifications in the ERA CCM Revision tool. As first output an intermediate revision was included by amendment in TAF TSI in 2021.
The SNCF Group welcomes the opportunity offered by the Commission to give a feedback on the Cohesion policy funds. As a world leader in passenger and freight transport services closely working with regions, the SNCF Group has benefited from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) for some of its projects and therefore wishes to express its view on this fund.
SNCF welcomes the introduction of a European green bond standard. SNCF is the oldest issuer of green bonds in the European and global rail market and one of the largest in volume. The group has €7.6 billion of outstanding green bond debt, i.e. 11% of the SNCF group's total gross bond debt (as at 30 June 2021).
The SNCF group welcomes the Commission’s decision to adopt soon a block exemption regulation for land transport, which aims to simplify the allocation of aid in order to promote and support less polluting modes of transport, in particular rail. Several aid schemes that have proven to be effective should benefit from this exemption and in particular aid for the transport of goods.
