Abstract

The author pays attention to phenomenal importance of regulation in the sector of rail transport. The sector develops thanks to pro-competition regulation of access to the network (the infrastructure of rail transport), and also in consequence of more frequently used logistic solutions. In the second part of the article main assumptions of European Union's transport policy are discussed, which are orientated towards implementation of logistic mechanisms into the development process of freight transport sector.
