АКТИВІЗАЦІЯ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ ДЕРЖАВНИХ ІНСТИТУТІВ В ПРОЦЕСАХ РЕФОРМУВАННЯ ЗАЛІЗНИЧНОГО ТРАНСПОРТУ

Abstract

The transport sector is a key component of the efficient functioning of the national economy, and its governance should be effective.New economic conditions which formed the level of use of a particular type of vehicle on the market, led to the immediate withdrawal position of road, water and air transport, which are more mobile and less infrastructure. Under these conditions, the farm complex infrastructure rail transport has to compete with private shipping companies other modes of transport that are able to respond quickly to market needs, using existing motor structure and infrastructure. The operation of the new transport services market leads to a revision of approaches in the management of the transport system of any country. Thus, during the last decades, due to the need to react quickly to changes in the market, there have also been changes in the structure of transport.For a long time the activity of domestic rail transport was regulated by the state by coordinating its activities with different departments and structures. But the market of transport services places new demands on the functioning of the transport sector, should take account of globalization the world changes, new forms and patterns of international trade, the redistribution of global productive forces, the development of new services and others. All these factors lead to the need to review the role of rail transport in the market of transport services and to change their competitive position. Therefore, the further effective interaction between rail transport and the state should be based on new realities. Railway enterprises should be able to function on the market as independent commercial organizations, which will allow them to adapt themselves to market conditions and carry out economic activities in accordance with market needs. As a result, a significant proportion of railway companies becomes private, but as the world experience shows, railway companies are not able to independently operate and maintain such a complex industry in a reliable and operational state. Some countries, even, have returned the railways and transported back to their property. Thus, in order to ensure the truly harmonious operation of the rail transport in the market of transport services, it is necessary to create and implement effective mechanisms and tools for the close interaction of state authorities and transport companies.The state's role in the effective development of rail transport is a significant, but not regulation state institutions capable of providing the appropriate level of competition in the industry, to increase the share of rail transport in total passenger and freight traffic, improve productivity and increase competitiveness and efficiency of the industry.
