THE UIC'S ROLE IN INTERNATIONAL RAILWAY COOPERATION

LE ROLE DE L'UIC DANS LA COOPERATION INTERNATIONALE DES CHEMINS DE FER

The author, Senior Vice Minister of Communications and Posts of Hungary, Chairman of the UIC Board of Management, explains the need felt, right from the advent of the railway because of its very nature, for the introduction of international technical methods and procedures. This want was supplied in 1922 at the world level with the establishment of UIC which has become increasingly important in the most varied fields throughout the years and is now a strong organization, actively furthering a very wide range of studies, and around which function numerous international bodies (ORE, Eurofima, Interfrigo, Intercontainer, etc...); it has also actively participated in a number of spectacular achievements such as the introduction of the TEE and TEEM networks, to be followed by automatic coupling.
