Op dinsdag bezoeken we het Europees Parlement (EP) in Brussel. We gaan in gesprek met Parlementsleden en Europese stakeholders. Hoe zetten we in Europa gezamenlijk stappen naar beter Europees railvervoer en hoe kunnen Nederlandse partners hierbij helpen? De werkgroep International rail van Railforum presenteert haar aanbevelingen en jij bent van harte welkom om hierbij aan te sluiten én mee te praten. De voertaal zal Engels zijn.
