meeting as associate members, as well as Estonia and Lithuania will
partake in the meeting in accordance with treaties. A representative
of the International Confederation of Trade Union of Railway and
Transport Builders will take part in the meeting as an observer.

The Board examines and decides issues on the operational activities of
the railways, joint use and maintenance of freight cars and
containers, conditions of transport of passengers and cargo, security
of train traffic in international communication, development of
accounting systems and mutual reports on the implemented work and
services, research and technical cooperation and other issues.
