POLAND: On February 2, the Federation of Independent Rail Operators ZNPK announced it had filed a complaint with the European Commission alleging that the Polish authorities are infringing the spirit of EU legislation by giving preferential treatment to incumbent freight operator PKP Cargo. ZNPK officials believe that the revised structure of freight tariffs introduced by infrastructure manager PKP PLK in December 2009 is discriminatory as it offers financial incentives to train operators to run lighter freight trains. This benefits short feeder trains and wagonload services, almost all of which are operated by PKP Cargo.
