  2. Who are we ?

  3. Duties of the Agency

  4. Tasks • Directive 2004/49, on railway safety, to support the creation of an integrated European railway area by facilitating the market opening through the harmonisation of safety management and regulation. • This aims to create a basis for mutual trust between Member States, mainly through the development of common and transparent methods to monitor safety performance, to set targets and to manage the introduction of significant changes in railway systems with a risk-based systematic approach.

  5. Tasks • Safety performance is monitored mainly to provide input to the development of an objective tool for setting Common Safety Targets (CSTs) at Member State level and assessing their achievement. General ERA presentation

  6. Tasks • On the basis of the Safety Directive, development of Common Safety Targets (CST) and Common Safety Indicators (CSI) • Monitoring of safety performances and reporting to the Commission every 2 years 2012 ?

  7. Common Safety Indicators • Directive 149/2009 (Appendix to Annex I of the Directive 49/2004) • ERA Implementation Guidance on CSI data reporting (just amended) • Regularly updated by the ERA WP (TF) • Support of Eurostat • Available on the ERA webpage CSI data reported by MS: xlsdataform submitted via ERAIL system assuring automatic data quality check.

  8. Common Safety Targets • The NRVs and CSTs are calculated for each Member State and for each of the following risk categories: • 1. passengers, 2. employees, 3. level crossing users, 4. others, 5. unauthorised persons on railway premises, 6. whole society. • The methodology for calculating NRVs and for deriving CSTs is described in point 2 of the Annex to the Decision 2009/460/EC. • The Common Safety Method for assessment of achievement of safety targets [and National Reference Values (NRVs)] is established in the Commission Decision 2009/460/EC on the Adoption of a Common Safety Method for assessment of achievement of safety targets. • The Decision will establish the values of the first set of CSTs based on NRVs in compliance with Article 7(3) of the Railway Safety Directive and following the methodology laid down in the Annex of the Commission Decision 2009/460/EC.

  9. Differences The main differences between Directive 2004/49 and Reg. 91/2003 are: • Categories of persons involved in accidents: passengers, employees and others in Regulation 91/03; “Others” are split in level crossing users and unauthorized persons in Directive 2004/49. • Directive 2004/49 requires collection of data on suicides; this is mainly to avoid pollution of data related to the type of accident “to persons caused by rolling stock in motion”.
