Introducing the Protocol to the African Union

12th December 2017

At the First Meeting of the African Union’s Ministerial Sub-Committee on Transport last week in Addis Ababa, RWG Chairman Howard Rosen gave a detailed presentation on the Luxembourg Rail Protocol and the advantages it will bring for African states. In his presentation, Howard Rosen focussed specifically on how the Protocol supported operating leasing structures and why that would make a significant practical difference for the African Rail Community.

The RWG intends to work with the African Union and its Transport Sub-Committee on an on-going basis to encourage its member states to adopt the Protocol as quickly as possible.
