• PROSPECTS FOR THE CZECH<br />

RAILWAY INDUSTRY<br />

The <strong>Czech</strong> railway industry has tremendous<br />

potential. Investment in this sector<br />

will have a multiple effect on domestic<br />

economic development. Specifically, it<br />

will have a favourable impact on employment,<br />

will improve the quality of transport<br />

services and lead to a higher culture of<br />

travel, while also raising the export performance<br />

of enterprises. In general, <strong>Czech</strong><br />

railways will require considerable investments<br />

in the next few years to attain the<br />

desired standards. In particular, this means<br />

investment in the development of the<br />

railway infrastructure, in addition to the<br />

completion of the railway corridors and the<br />

modernisation of key railway junctions. We<br />

must also not forget about regional railway<br />

lines. To be competitive, we must fit<br />

the main corridors with the ERTMS/ETCS<br />

European train control system, modernise<br />

freight corridors passing through the<br />

<strong>Czech</strong> Republic, harmonise the costs of all<br />

types of transport, invest in the modernisation<br />

and purchase of new carriages and,<br />

last but not least, start preparations for<br />

the construction of high-speed lines that<br />

will make the conventional lines available<br />

for freight transport.<br />
