Vital points, together with safety, are raised by the OSE licensed engineers affiliation and the ERGOSE employees affiliation of their joint letter to the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Christos Staikouras, concerning a brand new physique below implementation that will likely be chargeable for the planning, improvement, upkeep and protected administration of the nation’s railway infrastructure.
What they insistently point out within the joint letter is the truth that solely OSE and ERGOSE have the mandatory expertise and know-how to hold out the already present and future tasks that want the mandatory supervision by railways. If the modification to the related legislation just isn’t lifted, that is contradictory “in relation to the commitments of the state to the Greek society to take care of the persistent pathologies of the railway sector in Greece with the creation of the brand new railway physique “Railways of Greece”” they emphasize and level out additional that one thing like this:
– It’ll make tough the correct administration and skillful execution of the tasks, in distinction to their execution by the Managing Service of OSE or ERGOSE and a contractor.
-It’ll negatively contribute to the connection of the assorted railway subsystems and the performance of the tasks.
-It’ll actually enlarge the problems which have quickly arisen throughout the receipt-delivery of the tasks.
That is Legislation 5111/2024 (Authorities Gazette 76/A/24.5.2024) and particularly Article 26, based on which paragraph 2 of Article 25 of Legislation 5049/2023 is amended, “2. So as to assume the competence of par. 1, for tasks that don’t fall below the competences of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, after the declaration of an space in a state of civil safety emergency, an Act of the Council of Ministers, following a related suggestion of the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, is required by which features a transient description of the related tasks. By choice of the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport and in derogation of another provision, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport could implement as a development entity by means of its companies, tasks of par. 1, the competence of its supervised entities. With the identical choice, the companies of the Normal Secretariat of Infrastructure that train the features of the Head of Authority and Managing Service are outlined, and paragraph 14 of the identical article of Legislation 5049/2023, which by means of derogation makes amendments to Legislation 4412/16 with regard to I.F.E choice procedures
The joint letter:
Mr. Minister
the draft legislation discredits the 2 corporations OSE-ERGOSE, ignores their work as infrastructure supervisor and supervisor of latest tasks of the railway community respectively and places in jeopardy the operation of the businesses as managers of the Greek railway. Moreover, the Ministry’s planning for the consolidation of the businesses within the new railway operator “Sideromii Ellados” and the aim you have got set for the brand new operator to imagine sole accountability for planning, improvement, upkeep and protected administration are additionally in jeopardy of the nation’s railway infrastructure, because the above was mirrored on the one hand within the presentation of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport in January 2024 “Reform and Modernization of the Railway Sector”, and then again within the assembly of the management of the Ministry of Infrastructure & Transport on 18/1/2024 with the commerce unions of the railway corporations.
You perceive that the consent, with reservations, of our Associations, as expressed on the mentioned assembly for the consolidation of the businesses, associated to the details that you just introduced to us in writing and orally. Any change of the info additionally alerts the formulation of extra reservations, as much as the withdrawal of our approval for the creation of the brand new firm. We estimate that the above-mentioned reasoning will run by means of all of the commerce union our bodies and staff of the railway corporations.
OSE-ERGOSE corporations with the specialised scientific employees they’re the primary driver of the event of the railway sector with their decisive contribution to the completion of a lot of railway tasks (new strains, renovations, upgrades, upkeep), which have radically modified the panorama in rail transport. OSE with scientific employees, possessing the required expertise, railway know-how and data of the laws and making an additional effort, regardless of the minimal assets allotted for quite a few years for the upkeep of the railway infrastructure, as a way to hold the railway community operational and at acceptable security ranges. ERGOSE with the numerous years of expertise of its scientific employees within the execution of tasks that embody your complete vary of infrastructure (tunnels, bridges, car crossings, hydraulic works), technical tasks of nice problem and specificity, constructing tasks, infrastructure and railway programs tasks, in all their implementation phases.
OSE-ERGOSE corporations are the one ones in a position to velocity up the procedures for commissioning and executing the ultimate restoration tasks in Thessaly, as OSE lately did, with the short-term restoration and return to site visitors of the affected Domokos Larissa part with single observe and electrification, inside a interval of forty-five (45) days. Due to this fact, for the ultimate rehabilitation tasks of the affected sections, whether or not they’re carried out below site visitors (Domokos Larissa) or out of site visitors (Larissa-Volos and Palaiofarsalos – Kalambaka), it’s essential to supervise them by railway employees as they’re the one ones who’ve the expertise and know-how to execute such tasks in a well timed and environment friendly method. Quite the opposite, the belief of the duties of Head of Authority and Managing Service by the Providers of the Normal Secretariat of Infrastructure, as supplied for in article 1 of Legislation 5111/2024, which don’t have expertise and know-how within the execution of railway tasks, we estimate, will result in failures and delays of the tasks . Moreover, the involvement within the administration of the ultimate rehabilitation tasks of the railway axis in 4 kinds, i.e. Ministry (Administrative Service) – venture execution contractor – OSE (chargeable for site visitors administration, line cuts, enforcement of delays, and so on.) and I .F.E. (in accordance with the supply of paragraph 2 of article 26 of Legislation 5111/2024 on the supervision of tasks), we estimate that it’ll make it tough for the correct administration and skillful execution of the tasks and the observance of the schedules resulting from their execution in site visitors, in distinction to their implementation by the OSE Managing Service and contractor.
Moreover, each within the Domokos – Larissa part of the Athens – Thessaloniki axis and within the Larissa – Volos and Paleofarsalo – Kalambaka sections, there are energetic contracts from the OSE-ERGOSE corporations, that are financed by European funds and had been interrupted because of the flooding phenomena, however they need to to be accomplished so as to not lose the funding. Particularly, within the Larissa-Volos and Palaiofarsalos-Kalambaka branches, contracts have been signed for the development of signalling-remote control-electric propulsion which needs to be linked to the ultimate infrastructure-rehabilitation tasks, to ensure that the railway strains to be handed over and put into site visitors to be functional- protected and in accordance with probably the most trendy specs. We respect that, the mutual involvement of various managing companies from ERGOSE and the Ministry it should negatively contribute to the connection of the assorted railway subsystems and the performance of the tasks.
And the executive receipt of the railway tasks for last restoration and their supply for operation by the Ministry to the OSE (or to the brand new entity “Railways of Greece”), will definitely enlarge the problems which have quickly arisen throughout the receipt-delivery of the works from ERGOSE to OSE, as no synergy has been developed between the Ministry and OSE within the delivery-acceptance procedures of railway tasks.
The aforementioned are contradictory in relation to the state’s commitments to the Greek society to take care of the persistent pathologies of the railway sector in Greece with the creation of the brand new railway physique “Railways of Greece”, which has as its accountability the unified planning, improvement, upkeep and administration of the railway community.
Lastly, we marvel if you’ll announce the reinforcement of your companies for the implementation of the railway tasks with personnel secondments from businesses of the general public sector, respectively with the announcement of detachments (doc YPOMEDI 127749/23.5.24- ADA: 6254465ΧΘξ-168) for the opposite tasks you already undertook within the affected areas of Thessaly. do you understand that any employees detachments from the OSE-ERGOSE corporations, which furthermore have the experience-know-how within the administration of railway tasks, will weaken the brand new entity “Railways of Greece”which will likely be requested to take over general management and administration of the railway community.
As a result of the appliance of Legislation 5111/2024 will in the end create the next points:
It’ll make tough the correct administration and skillful execution of the tasks, in distinction to their execution by the Managing Service of OSE or ERGOSE and a contractor.
It’ll negatively contribute to the connection of the assorted railway subsystems and the performance of the tasks.
It’ll actually enlarge the problems which have quickly arisen throughout the receipt-delivery of the works.
It’s contradictory in relation to the state’s commitments to the Greek society to take care of the persistent pathologies of the railway sector in Greece with the creation of the brand new railway entity “Railways of Greece”.
Any detachments of employees from the OSE-ERGOSE corporations, which have the experience-know-how within the administration of railway tasks, will weaken the brand new physique “Railways of Greece”
We request:
Legislation 5111/2024 shouldn’t be utilized for the restoration of the railway infrastructure within the affected areas of Thessaly and the tasks to be executed by the OSE-ERGOSE corporations based on the obligations of every firm
The strengthening of corporations with applicable scientific, administrative and technical employees, secured financing for the development of research and tasks, actions to scale back forms.
