2007-09-19 10:00:00
EU-based railway carriers will gain access to the Bulgarian market when the country's admitted to the union, say the amendments to the Railway Transport Act posted for discussion on the website of the transport ministry. Bulgaria has so far licensed only 2 private railway carriers, Bulmarket and National Railway Company. The new-comers will pay to the national railway infrastructure operator a user charge set by the government. The new bill also envisages the award of concession contracts for railway sections that are not part of pan-European corridors.
