Mission & Goals
RailNetEurope (RNE) is an association formed by the majority of European rail infrastructure managers (IMs) and allocation bodies (ABs) to provide fast and easy access to the European rail network and to improve the quality and efficiency of international rail traffic. Together, the current 38 members of RNE harmonise conditions and procedures in the field of international rail infrastructure management for the benefit of the entire railway sector. RNE was founded in January 2004 on the initiative of a number of European IMs and ABs who wished to establish a common European organisation to facilitate their international business. RNE is officially registered under Austrian law as the "Association for the Facilitation of International Rail Traffic on the European Rail Infrastructure". The Association is mainly financed by membership fees and EU grants and its Joint Office is located in Vienna, Austria.
