The article raises the issues of rail transport in many countries, including the European Union and Ukraine, transportation of various classes of dangerous goods, ensuring safety during their transportation, strengthening technical standards and environmental requirements for safety of dangerous goods transportation by all modes of transport and the problem of localization and liquidation of accidents during transportation of various classes of dangerous goods by rail is raised. Methods and methods of localization and elimination of spills of dangerous goods are discussed, the sorption method is described as the chosen method to solve the problem, a brief description of sorbents is given, various variants and modifications of materials for carbon sorbents are presented, materials will be used for universal sorption web, method of obtaining a universal sorption web, demonstrated a special installation for carbonization (Carbonizer), which was slightly modernized and made by the authors according to the design of the Engels University. The method of conducting experiments is described. The characteristics of the universal sorption web, its sorption properties are given, and also the technique of using the universal sorption web as a means for localization and / or liquidation of liquid hazardous substances of 3, 5, 8 hazard classes is proposed.

The European Union adopted a Directives destined to convert the rail sector in a way of competitive transport, giving place to the separation of activities of administration of the infrastructure of the own activities of the exploitation. The opening of the rail transport in diet of free competition and the allocation to the administrator of rail infrastructures of the necessary functions for the provision of services regarding transport of passengers as of commodities. This remained reflected in a series of charges, in which each country created some specific rules of fixation of charges and that has given place to prices very diverse, not only economically but also to the hour to define the same, resulted of the nonexistence of a guideline detailed of how would have to fix the same. This opening, forces the rail companies to fulfill a series of legal requirements, technicians and economics to be able to operate by the European rail network. The economic requirements remained reflected in a series of charges to credit to the administrators of rail infrastructure of the countries by where circulates a rail transport. These charges are established, although the corresponding European Directive regulates them, according to the rule of the country, what gives origin to a diversity of the same.

Abstract In the territory of the Slovak Republic, the transportation of goods from east to west is carried out in Eastern Slovak Trasnsshipment. The transportation of goods in direct international rail transport between the Slovak Republic, the Russian Federation, and Ukraine is carried out through the border crossing points Čierna nad Tisou – Čop and Maťovce – Užhorod. These border crossing points are places on a broad-gauge and standard-gauge railway, wherer loading, unloading, and reloading of goods from wider gauge wagons to narrower gauge wagons shall be carried out. There is also a shift of transport mode from SMGS to CIM and other services associated with this transport. An important document affecting the functioning of the single railway market is the Customs Code of the European Union and its provisions. It should be noted that the Common Economic Area of the European Union is also the common customs area of all the Member States. In the case of the cross-border international rail transport organisation, there are no control services due to the customs clearance of the goods. For carriers and customers, this means easier process organisation thanks to the provisions of the Customs Code.

Adoption by Russia of the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer posed a very difficult task for consumers of artificial cold, including rail transport, to find an acceptable alternative to the R134a freon and mixtures based on it, which is being phased out. Considering that there are no equivalent alternatives to these substances on the market, it was proposed to consider the use of widely known and previously used working fluids in climate technology, based on the positive experience of the European Union (EU) countries. The article analyzes the reasons for the bans on the use of hydrofluorocarbons, presents the mechanism for the legal use of refrigerants that are safe for humans and nature in the EU and a version of the roadmap for converting the climatic units of the Russian Railways holding to R22 freon and other types of fluorocarbons within the framework of the Kigali Amendment.

Logistics Market

Logistics services are an important element of a fast-moving economy and trade between the European Union and Asian countries. The TSL market is developing in Poland, goods transport is growing rapidly, however, the share of rail transport in it is decreasing every year. Customers of the TSL (Transport and Shipping and Logistics) market expect comprehensive logistics services from one partner. Rail transport to recover the part of the roam should expand the scope of services provided and create conditions for the development of intermodal transport, but also such segments of transport as dispersed transport or hazardous materials. In addition to organizational changes, a dedicated reloading infrastructure is an indispensable element of acquiring customers.

One of the elements of the integration process of the European Union is striving to remove barriers to the free movement of persons, goods, services and capital between the countries of the Community. This process does not bypass means that rail transport for environmental reasons is promoted, developed and is to constitute one of the pillars of building cohesion, despite the numerous technological diff erences existing between the systems in the individual EU countries. These measures are aimed as soon as possible to ensure interoperability between countries and transport systems.

Improving market competitiveness and economic efficiency was the objective behind the demonopolisation and liberalisation of the railway sector in the European Union. Achieving this objective remains important and crucial to the development of a single rail transport market. The transport performance and financial results of the sector under the new, separative organisational structure of railways in the EU is the result of the action of many different actors, private operators and public entities. This significantly complicates the development of uniform and clear comparable performance evaluation indicators for the sector and makes comparative analyses difficult. Moreover, the specific situation of railways in the EU as a tool for implementing environmental and social policy may conflict with the requirements of financial efficiency. The article presents determinants and methods of measuring railway efficiency proposed by researchers and practitioners.
