Abstract

The liberalization of railway operations has encouraged the emergence of both new private operators and new public structures of regulation and control. One of the major difficulties of these structures is their independence from both the rail-sector actors and the State that has a long tradition of intervention in this sector. Can the essentially technical functions of these regulatory structures be applicable independently of the rail-sector actors and in particular of the long established actors ? The change of regulation methods in the French railway sector, beginning with the creation of the "Mission de Contrôle des Activités Ferroviaires" and continuing with the new "Autorité de Régulation des Activités Ferroviaires", reflects this difficulty. To enforce the independence of this Authority, the French government has chosen to award it stronger powers, without establishing adequate checks and balances.
