ERA in the press

In an article published on 20 March 2025 (in French, paywall), La Voix du Nord, regional French newspaper covering news, politics, and events in northern France, discusses the Agency, focusing on its multicultural workforce. 

During the Made in Valenciennes event on 20 February 2025, the agency showcased its efforts to harmonise Europe’s rail network. The article highlights the ERA’s work on overcoming technical barriers to smooth cross-border travel, including the creation of a European train driver licence and the standardisation of safety equipment. It also emphasises the roll-out of the ERTMS signalling system, aiming to unify Europe’s fragmented infrastructure, and the Agency’s role in granting market authorisations for rolling stock.
