Crister Fritzson, Chairman of the Swedish Association of Train Operators, ASTOC, and CEO and President of SJ, has been appointed Acting Chairman of CER. Mr Fritzson takes up his new role from immediate effect following the resignation of former CER Chairman Rüdiger Grube as CEO of Deutsche Bahn. The General Assembly subsequently endorsed Mr Fritzson’s mandate until September 2017. A Management Committee – including Chairman and Vice-Chairs for the term 2018-2019 – will be elected by the General Assembly on 25 September 2017.

In addition, the CER recently elected ÖBB CEO Andreas Matthä as a member of the CER Management Committee. The association also welcomed two new partners: Israel Railways and Rail Baltica Rail AS.
