The Statistics Steering Committee held its spring meeting in Constanta, Romania on 22 – 24 May 2018, at the invitation of Romanian infrastructure manager CFR-SA. The group discussed the need for data harmonisation and updated railway indicators. In addition, the new online application for UIC data queries, Railisa, was launched. This tool is open to UIC members and to the public and conforms fully with data confidentiality requirements. Railisa will be in test phase until 30 June.

Please visit Railisa at http://uic-stats.uic.org/ and send any comments to stat at uic.org.

The Economic Footprint study was also on the agenda. A short questionnaire on the study will be developed, maintaining data confidentiality.

UIC members are invited to continue to provide data using our online tool: http://stats.uic.org/.
