Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 91 in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

The Union acceded to the Convention concerning International Carriage by Rail of 9 May 1980, as amended by the Vilnius Protocol of 3 June 1999 (‘COTIF’), in accordance with Council Decision 2013/103/EU (1). |
(2) |
All Member States, with the exception of Cyprus and Malta, are parties to the COTIF. |
(3) |
Pursuant to point (f) of Article 13 § 1 of the COTIF, the Committee of Technical Experts (‘CTE’) of the Intergovernmental Organisation for International Carriage by Rail (‘OTIF’) was set up. |
(4) |
Pursuant to point (b) of Article 20 § 1 of the COTIF, and in accordance with Article 6 of Appendix F (‘APTU’), the CTE is competent to adopt or to amend, inter alia, the uniform technical prescriptions (‘UTP’) concerning locomotives and passengers rolling stock (‘UTP LOC PAS’), freight wagons (‘UTP WAG’), accessibility of the rail system for persons with disabilities and persons with reduced mobility (‘UTP PRM’), the technical documents of technical specification for interoperability relating to the telematic applications for freight (‘TAF TSI’) referred to in Appendix I of UTP concerning telematic applications for freight (‘UTP TAF’), UTP applicable to train composition and route compatibility checks (‘UTP TCRC’) and UTP applicable to the subsystem infrastructure (‘UTP INF’). |
(5) |
Finally, in accordance with Article 15 § 2 of Appendix G (‘ATMF’), the CTE is competent to propose the revision of ATMF with regard to entities in charge of maintenance (‘ECM’). |
(6) |
The CTE has included in the agenda of its 13th session that will take place on 22 June 2021, proposals for decisions to amend UTP LOC PAS, UTP WAG and UTP PRM, for the adoption of UTP TCRC and UTP INF, for the updating of the references to the technical documents of TAF TSI listed in Appendix I of UTP TAF and for the revision of ATMF with regard to ECM. |
