The CUI Committee is the CIT body which handles infrastructure use questions. It approved the general terms and conditions for the use of infrastructure which were negotiated with the RNE at the end of 2010. Since then it has been working on their implementation. The CUI Committee is currently composed of the following undertakings: BDZ, ČD, CFF/SBB Cargo, CFL, CFR Calatori, DB, Green Cargo, LDZ, LG, PKP, RCA, RENFE, SNCB/NMBS, SNCF, TRAINOSE, Trenitalia, ŽSSK Cargo.
Every infrastructure manager publishes the conditions of access to and use of his network on his website. RailNetEurope (RNE) (the infrastructure managers’ association, based in Vienna) has links to these conditions on its website:
