Foreword and Topics

“The progress of the previous years of IRFC showed how this event brings to our members, who participate even partially in transports between CIM and SMGS regimes, not only valuable information but also extraordinary opportunity to meet business partners. We are sure that this 2013 Conference will bring new ideas and useful cooperation. Our organization again takes a patronage over this event.”

Tadeusz Szozda
Chairman, OSJD

“I am pleased that under the auspices of the UIC, the fourth conference IRFC will be held providing a unique platform for exchange of experience among all participants in rail freight transportation. This is an exceptional event, which also brings information on current situation and trends in the field of transportation throughout the Eurasian region and facilitates convergence of East and West.”

Jean-Pierre Loubinoux
