Yesterday, Patrick Ky and Jean-Marc Cluzeau met with Josef Doppelbauer, Executive Director of the European Union Agency for Railways (ERA) and members of his team in Valenciennes, for the signature of a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC).
The MoC promotes cooperation and establishes a regular structured dialogue between the Agencies, enhancing the sharing of information, knowledge and experience in three core areas of cooperation.
Core areas of cooperation refer to three essential domains:
- European Co-ordination centre for Accident and Incident Reporting Systems (ECCAIRS);
- Big data; and
- Sustainability.
EASA’s Geert Kinders, Léopold Viroles and Dietmar Bloemen, respectively Points of Contact for the three core areas, participated remotely to the meeting for a joint presentation with their ERA counterparts on the progress made so far.
Patrick Ky and Joseph Doppelbauer congratulated the participants for the work done and discussed the perspectives and expected benefit of future work on cooperation.
They agreed to meet again within one year in Cologne for a progress review meeting.
If you wish to know more about our cooperation with ERA we invite you to consult the MoC.
