Latest news: EU ministers push for a European Railway Industry Strategy by the European Commission, targeting competitiveness and public procurement reform. Meanwhile, LTG Cargo Polska received a German safety certificate, enabling expanded freight operations across Germany, Poland, Ukraine, and the Baltic states. The Baku–Tbilisi–Kars railway reopened, boosting its Georgian section's freight capacity five-fold, strengthening the Middle Corridor for China-Europe links. However, German freight operators (Die Güterbahnen) seek a Bundestag hearing regarding severe DB network disruptions. In Poland, CPK launched Port Polska.KDP (a ROSCO) to procure high-speed trains.
