With the reform of the railways, european railway companies principally have access to German federal railway lines without discrimination. A perspective for the competitors in long-distance transport lies in the creation of an interregionally
linked second long-distance network for regions that are remote from the European Intercity / Intercity railways stations. Thus railway companies does not consider itself as a competitor for railway lines of the German railway, but as a supplement to long
-distance transport of the German Railways. - (IFL)

The realization of the Single European Market will produce a significant growth in traffic, especially road traffic, beginning in 1993. This will also result in additional environmental pollution. For decades the railway has been suffering from
distortions in competition which must be removed. The EC Commission presented proposals along these lines in January 1990. The railway would have good opportunities in the transportation market following their implementation. - (L'A.).

of railway network in Transcarpathia for the development of international freight traffic in the USSR is highlighted. The role of geopolitical interests in the past and present is demonstrated. The analytical part of the paper focuses on the latest changes
In the paper the role of railway network of Transcarpathia (Zakarpattia) in the international transport connections of Ukraine is investigated. The geopolitical importance and favourable transit location of this region within Ukraine along
the international boundaries with Hungary, Romania and Slovakia, is well-known. The paper first focuses on the role of natural, political and transport factors in the development of railway network in the region from a historical perspective. Then the importance
in international freight traffic in the region in the period of 2008-2011, and major obstacles in its development are also discussed. The peculiarities of international freight traffic passing through border freight stations of the given region and the contiguous
