PERES and S-ACCESS initiatives give a concrete answer to the requests of the European Parliament to the European Commission contained in the “Resolution on the competitiveness of the European rail supply industry” adopted in June 2016: (point 24) “to exploit further the existing support programmes for SME internationalisation and to give them more visibility among European RSI SMEs in the context of synergies between different EU funds; calls on the Commission to further develop training programmes on accessing specific foreign markets and to communicate such programmes widely to RSI SMEs”; (point 43) to provide “a coherent EU trade strategy which ensures compliance with the principle of reciprocity, particularly in relation to Japan, China and the USA, and support for further internationalisation of RSI, especially SMEs”. COMPETITIVENESS of the RAIL SUPPLY INDUSTRY: DITECFER, together with the Railway Clusters collaborating in "ERCI European Railway Cluster Initiative", has been following since the beginning the topic in order to represent our companies' inputs (with special focus on SMEs) about critical aspects, needs, concrete experiences, so to enrich the debate and help adopt effective EU policies supporting the Rail Supply Industry global leadership with special focus on SMEs.

Complementary Information: In generale, DITECFER, in quanto cluster organisation, svolge il proprio ruolo con fondi propri. Nello svolgimento dei progetti co-finanziati da programmi dell'UE, e laddove questo porti a rappresentare gli interessi dei cluster ferroviari partner, vi può essere una minima 'indiretta' copertura dei costi di staff (per quanto quest'ultimo tipo di attività sia 'spot' rispetto al piano di lavoro di progetto, vieppiù da quando il Covid-19 ha virtualizzato gli incontri, pertanto non vi sono costi di viaggio e l'impegno in ore è ridotto allo stretto essenziale).
