In EU member states, carriers and other interested applicants with headquarters in one of EU member states have the right to access the railway infrastructure.
Carriers are companies whose main activity comprises performing i.e. providing railway transport services, which have appropriate licenses for providing said services, and which provide train haulage. They can also merely provide train haulage and have a license for such services.
Applicants are carriers or other legal entities which need a train path for public (state, local community, public utility service provider) or commercial (freight transport providers, freight brokers, intermodal transport providers) interest.
If an applicant is not a carrier, it must conclude a contract with one of the carriers with a valid license and safety certificate to provide railway transport services.
