Working Group CUV UR
This working group was set up by the Secretary General in 2013 following the emergence in the European Union’s regulations of a new actor in the operation of wagons, the entity in charge of maintenance.
The aim of the working group was to start considering the need to deal at legislative level, in the CUV UR, with the rights and obligations of the parties to the contract of use of wagons as regards wagon maintenance. This working group provided the opportunity to introduce the concept of ECM into the CUV UR and to clarify the liability regime between railway undertakings and keepers.
The work carried out by this working group gave rise to some amendments to Appendix D, the CUV UR, which were approved by the General Assembly in September 2015. Some of these amendments are in the course of being approved in the Member States.
