Foreword
Railways in Sub-Saharan Africa have probably suffered more than most institutions in the transition
from colonial to independent government. Sub-Saharan African governments, struggling to establish
the institutions and policies needed to ensure economic development in an increasingly globalizing
economy, simply have not been able to set the kind of balanced transport policies and stable funding
in the public sector that would have permitted railways to flourish. Also, like railways all over the
world, Sub-Saharan African railways have consistently been limited by a lack of clear definition of
their role or of the limits of political interference in institutions that must survive in competition with
private companies that do not carry "social" burdens. The result of this heritage has been railways
that cannot serve well the needs of their economies, are often poorly maintained, are not
commercially effective, and are often macroeconomic burdens on their treasuries.
International Financial Institutions and donors have worked hard over many years with Sub-Saharan
African railways and governments to put these railways on a sound economic and commercial
footing. Although some progress has been made in individual countries for limited periods of time, it
is clear that the traditional approach of providing money to fix physical problems or merely changing
organizational arrangements while leaving in place policy or political limitations has not led to
positive and sustainable results: something more than the old approach will be needed.
There is, of course, no single, "cookbook" solution. Countries, and their railways, are all different
and these differences are often highly significant. This said, railway concessioning is emerging as at
least one potential tool for use in assisting railways. The objective of this conference was to bring to
senior Sub-Saharan African railway managers and their Government officials the experience of those
who are now engaged in rail concessioning, both inside and outside Africa, so that Sub-Saharan
African officials can make appropriate use of the tool.
The focus of the conference was specifically on experience, not on theory, for two reasons: first,
there is a need to act quickly in order to put Sub-Saharan railways back on track, and experience is
the best guide to practical action; and, second, there is enough experience now available that the
concessioning tool can be confidently applied from hard-earned lessons -- not theory. Participants
were able to show how concessioning actually works, and how Sub-Saharan African managers can
learn from good (and bad) decisions made elsewhere. Potential rail users were able to show how they
have, or will, respond, to improvements in service cost or reliability. Government officials were able
to discuss, in concrete terms, the benefits (and risks) of concessioning from an operational and
policy-driven point of view. Overall, interested parties were able to assess how and where rail
concessioning might be applied for its real utility -- permitting Sub-Saharan Africa's railways to play
their proper role in the critically needed transport system of Africa.

Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Policy Program (SSATP)
Railway Concessioning in Africa: An Approach Gathers Steam
Synopsis
On October 13 and 14, 1997, representatives of most of the railways and Governments of
Sub-Saharan Africa met in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire, with representatives of the World
Bank, sponsoring donor agencies including Swedish International Development Agency
(SIDA), GTZ (Germany) and Caisse Franqaise de Developpement (CFD), the UIC and
UAR, and a number of international experts and consultants to discuss the progress of
and prospects for railway concessioning in Africa. The conference was arranged by the
Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Policy Program (a World Bank/UN collaborative program)
and hosted by SITARAIL, the concessionaire of the Abidjan-Ougadougou railway, and
SIPF, the railway landlord corporation of C6te d'Ivoire. In all, over 150 people,
including representatives of railways, governments, rail labor unions, donor agencies,
shippers, international agencies, concessionaires and consultants attended the seminar and
participated in the animated discussions that ensued.
Beginning the first session, the overall theme for the conference was set by Mr. Tidjane
Thiam, Special Adviser to the President of the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire who strongly
argued the need for change in Africa's railways. Any reasonable reading of the railway
experience in Africa shows a declining role for railways in the transport sector, to the
point that a continuation of existing trends would cause railways to vanish. The potential
benefits from effective railways are far too important to permit this to happen. In the case
of Cote d'Ivoire, the need for railway change fit well into a general program of
restructuring many activities in the economy, so the stage was well set for action.
In the second session, the need for change in the railways, and the overall potential for
concessioning as a tool in that change was further supported by Lou Thompson of the
World Bank who described briefly the fact that railways are often in weak financial
condition, they face a significant change in the needs of the transport sector and confront
increasing competition from other modes. At the same time, their governments can no
longer afford to support them as in the past. Combining these factors with the shift of
many economies to market form and trends toward globalization, railways are not going
to have an easy life in the upcoming decade. Governments are solving this dilemma by
making railways commercial and by increasing the role of the private sector in delivery of
rail services. The World Bank has a role to play in this process, both in financing repairs
or rehabilitation of facilities, environmental cleanup and labor transitional issues, and in
providing technical assistance in planning and managing the transition.
Olivier Ratheaux (Cfd) and Karim-Jacques Budin (World Bank) then provided
presentations on the issues and options of implementing concession schemes in railways.
These presentations highlighted the fact that concessioning is not a "cookbook" answer to
a generalized problem. Instead, implementing concessions requires careful analysis and
answers to a number of specific questions, including the scope of the concession, its
duration, access to the concession facilities by others (if, for example, freight service is
concessioned and passenger is not), the regulatory framework and the interaction between
"regulation' and the concession contract, concession payments (if any), and staffing of
the concession, among many other issues. In addition, the process whereby the
concession is advertised and awarded is important in assuring that the best offer is
identified and accepted. Taken together, these considerations set the structure of the
relationship between concessionaire and government, and they determine the eventual
success of the arrangement.
In the third session, Jorge Kogan (currently Vice President of Mercer Management,
formerly Director of the Coordination Agency for Argentine railway concessioning)
summarized the experience of concessioning in Latin America. Rail concessioning in
Latin America demonstrates the fundamental strength and robustness of the concept.
Concessioning has been used to rescue the freight railways of Argentina and to
dramatically improve the operations of the suburban passenger services, and the Metro, in
Buenos Aires. Similar, positive experience is now being gained in other countries
(Brazil, Bolivia, Mexico, Chile). At the same time, lessons have emerged from this
experience including the need to adapt the process to individual circumstances, the need
to improve the process of concession award, the critical need to identify issues, such as
labor restructuring, that must be fairly solved if concessioning is to proceed, and the need
for continuing public involvement in ensuring that the terms of the concession agreement
are being met. Overall, change happens only from firm and timely decisions -- most
problems can be fixed in the process, but inaction can be fatal.
Lucas Kamden of the Privatization Committee of the Republic of Cameroon and
Sebastien Ebata of the Cameroon Railway (REGIFERCAM) discussed the status of the
concessioning process now underway in Cameroon. The Government of Cameroon
decided to concession REGIFERCAM for many of the same reasons as elsewhere -- to
improve service and reduce financial demands on the public till. To date, the government
believes that satisfactory progress is being made on the concession.
Session 4 closed the day with a presentation by Messrs Abilio Portimao (Secretary
General of Ministry of Transport and Communications) and Arun Pai Lai (adviser) on the
status of concessioning in Mozambique (three rail concessions originating in Nacala,
Beira and Maputo) and by Abdelazziz Thiam (Director General of SITARAIL) on
concessioning developments in Cote d'Ivoire/Burkina Faso. While concessioning is still
in process in Mozambique and is facing many of the issues common to concessioning
elsewhere, the Abidjan to Ougadougou concession was the first railway concession in
Sub-Saharan Africa, and has now been in operation for over two years. In many ways,
the experience with SITARAIL is quite similar to that in Latin America: traffic has grown
significantly, productivity (especially asset productivity) has climbed, and the concession
appears to be on a sound commercial footing. Based on SITARAIL's experience,
properly designed rail concessioning in Africa can work, and can yield the expected
benefits.
The second day began with session 5 covering the clients' viewpoints toward rail service
and the potential for concessioning. Panelists from Burkina Faso (S. Diakite), Gabon
(Raymond Ndong-Nsima), Gabon (Marcel Abeke), Malawi (Messrs Dennis Kambalame
and Heatherwick Mbale outlined the general dissatisfaction which most shippers now feel
about the quality and costs of African rail service. Shortage of equipment and lack of
control over service reliability has led many shippers to use truck service, even though it
is much more costly; this trend will not be reversed until the railways are more effectively
customer oriented. Panelists felt that concessions might provide better service, a point
that was reinforced by the SITARAIL experience (although SITARAIL admittedly hopes
to make much further improvements).
Session 6 was a panel of officials (Henry Posner of RDC, Paul Victor of FEPASA in
Chile, Yves Montpert of SITARAIL, Pierre-Louis Rochet of SYSTRA and Eric Peiffer of
COMAZAR) who are actually involved in operation of rail concessions in several
countries. Panelists reviewed their experiences in establishing and running concessions,
with particular emphasis on the need for clear Government policies toward the concession
(concerning regulation, ownership and control, labor) and on the challenges in changing
railway culture from public to private approaches. They also emphasized the need for
realization that concessions operate in a competitive market with little room for meeting
social needs without explicit compensation for doing so. Given adequate flexibility,
panelists believed that concessions can and will help in resolving Africa's transport
challenge.
Session 7 used panelists (Marcel Sarmet of Coopers and Lybrand, Peter Kieran of CPCSTranscom, Jorge Kogan of Mercer Management, and Patrice Guiol of Banque Nationale
de Paris) to cover the role of consultants in concessioning. Consultants are customarily
used to translate general policies into practice in particular situations, a task which is a
mixture of experience and creativity. Few countries have the expertise within the railway
or Government to complete the tasks of analysis, concession package design, creation of
bidder interest, analysis of bids and implementation, so some consulting assistance is
critical. A common challenge, though, is that the main repository of information, the
railway, needs to be encouraged to provide inforrnation and assistance freely. If the
railway management is not favorable toward concessioning, this can be a difficult
challenge.
Session 8 covered a number of more general presentations of concessioning in Southern
and Eastern Africa (Yash-Pal Kedia of the World Bank), Western and Central Africa
(Bernard Zoba of the Union of African Railways and Antoine Tchibozo of the Economic
Commission for Africa). Concessioning is quite active in these regions, with programs or
discussions underway in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique and Namibia in
Southern and Eastern area, and Republic of Congo (in suspension because of civil
conflict), Cameroon and Gabon in the Western area. The UAR, the ECA and SATCC are
providing information and assistance to the process where possible.
Session 9 summarized and concluded the seminar. It was chaired by The Hlonourable
Edward K. Salia (Minister of Roads and Transport of Ghana). In summary, the ensuing
discussion yielded the following generally agreed conclusions:
1.
Concessioning has clearly emerged as the most promising avenue to regaining
profitability for railways. The experience in Africa is more recent than in other
continents, but those African examples which have been developed to any significant
degree point in the same direction.
2.
The meeting was unanimous in the conclusion that, when designing concessioning
agreements, the arrangements to deal with labor redundancies must be based on a
consensus with the labor organizations concerned.
3.
Reforms in the regulation of operations in other modes of transport as well as in
rail will usually be an integral part of the design of a viable concessioning scheme.
4.
Given the long time span that concessioning arrangements usually cover, it is
important to incorporate clear rules for the dissolution and renegotiation of the
concession, should any of the two parties so desire, and/or rules for arbitration prior to
dissolution.
5.
There is no single, simple formula for success. Any concessioning agreement
needs to be adapted to local needs, laws, practices, economic and social circumstances.
The Honourable Oskar Plichta (Minister of Works, Transport, and Communications of
Namibia) extended the appreciation of the participants to the organizers of the seminar
and to the host country.

SEMINAIRE SUR LA MISE
EN CONCESSION DES CHEMINS

(Du 13 au 14 Octobre 1997)
ALLOCUTION DE BIENVENUE PRONONCEE
PAR MONSIEUR EZAN AKELE, MINISTRE
DES INFRASTRUCTURES ECONOMIQUES
M ...............................
Messieurs les Ministres,
Excellences Messieurs les Ambassadeurs,
Messieurs les representants
Intemationales et Nationales,
des
Institutions
Financieres
Messieurs les dirigeants des reseaux de chemins de fer,
Honorables invites,
Mesdames, Messieurs.
Je voudrais tout d'abord, feliciter le groupe de la Banque
Mondiale, initiateur de cette grande rencontre sur le theme de la
mise en concession des chemins de fer en Afrique et remercier par
la meme occasion, tous les bailleurs de fonds internationaux
engages aux cRt's de la Cote d'Ivoire pour la poursuite de la
relance de son economie.
Je voudrais egalement souhaiter la bienvenue en terre ivoirienne,
au nom du Chef de l'Etat, son Excellence Monsieur Henri
KONAN BEDIE, 'atous ceux dont la presence a ce forum est pour
nous le temoignage de la solidarite et de l'amitie qu'ils portent a
notre pays.
2
Soumise a un programme d'ajustement structurel, La Cote
d'Ivoire, resolument engagee dans le processus de liberalisation
de son economie. a choisi d'eliminer son deficit budgetaire afin
d'attenuer l'impact de son endettement et donner au
gouvemement, une marge de manoeuvre financiere qui lui
permette de soutenir les investissements productifs.
Depuis 1990, un programme soutenu de privatisation de nos
entreprises a ete elabore afin d'accroitre le role du secteur prive
dans I'activite economique notamment au niveau des
investissements. Dans le secteur des transports, les premieres
operations de privatisation ont porte sur le chemin de fer, en
accord avec le pays frere du Burkina Faso.
En effet, le 24 juillet 1992, les deux Etats ont decide de confier
l'exploitation de la ligne Abidjan-Ouagadougou-Kaya, a une
societe concessionnaire a capital prive majoritaire, la SITARAIL
d'une part, et d'autre part, de creer deux societes de patrimoine:
la Societe Ivoirienne de Gestion du Patrimoine Ferroviaire (SIPF)
et la Societe de Patrimoine Ferroviaire du Burkina (SOPAFER-B).
La RAN, jadis, fleuron des regies ferroviaires en Afrique de
l'Ouest, a connu au cours de la decennie 70-80, la meilleure
periode de son exploitation. D'importants investissements ont ete
realises. En 1978, elle a transporte un million de tonnes de
marchandises et plus de quatre millions de voyageurs dans des
conditions de confort indiscutables.
3
Mais des le debut des annees 80, la crise economique due a
l'effondrement des cours des matieres premieres sur le marche
mondial avec pour consequence une chute de l'activite
economique dans la plupart des pays africains, des problemes lies
a la gestion, vont se poser et seront a la base de la degradation du
transport ferroviaire. La scission de la RAN en deux societes, la
SICF pour la Cote d'Ivoire et la SCFB pour le Burkina et ayant en
charge les deux (02) reseaux dans le cadre d'une gestion separee
convenue par les deux Etats, sera pour le chemin de fer, le pire
des remedes.
Cette situation a conduit a la deterioration du materiel, au
licenciement significatif de personnel, a une baisse importante du
trafic de l'ordre de 60 % pour les marchandises et 50 % pour les
voyageurs.
En trois ans de gestion separee, aucun des deux Etats n'a eu les
moyens de realiser les investissements necessaires au maintien
d'une bonne exploitation.
La mise en concession dans ces conditions est apparue comme la
solution la meilleure. Elle a donc ete decidee pour une periode de
quinze (15) ans. Cette operation a donne ainsi lieu a la toute
premiere privatisation d'un reseau ferroviaire en Afrique. La
restructuration de l'entreprise se traduit par une importante
reduction du personnel et un plan de remise a niveau des
installations et du materiel. Le montant des investissements se
chiffre a 40 milliards de francs cfa, realises avec le precieux
concours de nos partenaires financiers habituels. Je veux parler de
l'IDA, la CFD, le BEI, la BOAD, l'AGCD. Au cours du premier
exercice, SITARAIL a transporte 410.000 voyageurs et 500 000
tonnes de marchandises, doublant ainsi le tonnage transporte apres
seulement une annee d'activite.

C'est la preuve que le chemin de fer sort peu a peu de la crise
qu'il a connue il y a quelques temps.
Si cette premiere experience en la matiere ne fait pas apparaItre
de maniere evidente et immediate les effets de sa reussite
economique et financiere, il reste a esperer que le contexte
favorable et la reorganisation drastique du secteur par nos Etats
conduisent a un avenir prometteur.
Aujourd'hui, dans la plupart des Etats africains, le chemin de fer
figure en bonne place sur la liste des entreprises a privatiser. Le
Burkina et la Cote d'Ivoire, en tant que pionniers, sont heureux et
fiers de partager avec eux leur experience.
La geographie, l'histoire, l'interet et le devoir nous imposent, plus
particulierement a nous Africains, d'affronter solidairement les
enjeux d'aujourd'hui et de demain.
I1 y a donc de bonnes raisons de croire au chemin de fer:
I'economie, les contribuables et la population tout entiere
profiteraient ainsi de cet outil indispensable de developpement.
Le Burkina Faso et la Republique de Cote d'Ivoire sortent grandis
de cette experience: le chemin de fer Abidjan-OuagadougouKaya, cordon ombilical qui relie de maniere permanente les deux
peuples depuis pres d'un siecle est sauve d'une mort certaine.

En esperant que cette memorable rencontre reunissant les
responsables des reseaux ferroviaires et leurs partenaires, initiee
par la Banque Mondiale permettra a chaque Etat de determiner
avec discemement les moyens de sa propre rgussite, et par voie de
consequence, au succes de notre continent, e declare ouvert, le
seminaire sur la mise en concession des chemins de fer en
Afrique.
Je vous remercie.

Railway Concessions: Progress to Date
Louis S. Thompson (Railways Adviser)
and Karim-Jacques Budin (Sr. Railway Specialist)
The World Bank*
Railway Restructuring -- Why?
Few governments have been fully satisfied with the performance of their railways over
the past three or four decades. Stagnant or falling traffic, huge financial losses, poor
service to customers -- these are a familiar railway litany. Governments have eventually
responded by restructuring, including recasting the railway as a government-owned
enterprise rather than a ministry, adopting line of business organizations, spinning off
non-rail activities, reducing labor forces and increasing the role of the private sector in
doing what it does best -- producing competitively determined goods and services for
customers at suitable quality and prices. A particular approach to increasing the role of
the private sector is "concessioning," the subject of this paper.
What is Concessioning and Why Do It?
"Concessioning" is not a precise term. In fact, there is a spectrum of organizational
options, starting with total public ownership and operation, continuing through
outsourcing, then management contracts, then concessions (a term we use to include
leasing or "affermage" (the French term), "franchises," and traditional concessioning),
and then proceeding to Build-Own-Operate (BOO/BOOT, etc.) and eventually to one or
the other forms of actual divestiture of assets leading to total private ownership and
operation. On this scale, concessions are midway as they involve continuing public
ownership and oversight of infrastructure, but generally transfer operating responsibility
and delivery of services to the private sector.
The general thrust in favor of concessioning is now agreed: 1) the private sector can
deliver services at lower total cost to the economy than the public sector; 2) the private
sector operates more efficiently than the public sector; 3) when private resources are
mobilized, the public sector can use its scarce resources in other, higher priority areas; 4)
the private sector does a better job of identifying and serving competitive markets than
does the public sector; 5) the private sector can do a better job of delivering social
services when it is explicitly compensated by the public sector than when the same social
services are jumbled into an unclear public/private mission; and, 6) the public sector does
a better job of environmental and safety regulation of a private provider than it does in
regulating itself. We state these advantages in positive terms: we agree that not all apply
in all cases and some may arguably not be true in some specific cases. This should not
detract from the overall point.
Transport concessions cannot be reduced to a simple "recipe." In order to define a
concession, we need to specify a number of dimensions: 1) what is being concessioned in
2
physical terms; 2) how long will the concession last; 3) who will retain ownership of
what (who will own the wagons and locomotives, for example); 4) will the state specify
the services to be provided or will this be left to the concessionaire and the market; 5)
what tariff flexibility will the concessionaire have; 6) will the state pay the
concessionaire, or vice versa, and in what form will the payments be made; 7) how will
the winning bid be determined (highest payments to, or from, government, lowest tariff,
largest investment promised, etc.); 8) under what conditions can the concession be
renegotiated; 8) what performance guarantees will be required; 9) who will do investment
planning and network planning; and, 10) will the concession be exclusive, or will others
have access to the facilities and under what terms? Each of these dimensions can be
slightly different for railways (for example) in various countries, and they are usually
considerably different among the modes.
Experience is showing that, though all concessions are different, there are several typical
issues that tend to recur. First, the term of the concession must be consistent with the
government's objectives as to the balance of investment between public and private: in
general, the private sector will not finance assets whose service life is significantly longer
than the term of the concession. Second, public enterprises tend to lose interest in
operations and maintenance as soon as plans for concessioning are announced so that the
concessioning process, once started, should be finished as quickly as possible in order to
minimize damage in the interim. Third, concessioning in railways has always resulted in
lower employment levels so a responsible program for dealing with redundant labor must
be developed and implemented. Fourth, risks should be in the right place. It is acceptable
that government retain the environmental risks of cleanup of already polluted facilities,
but questionable for government to take the commercial risk of projecting demand and
cost of operation. Finally, concessions inherently require further continuing government
involvement in regulating safety, monopolistic behavior, and adherence to the pricing and
service requirements of the concession. This does not necessarily imply creation of an
elaborate new regulatory mechanism, but it is clear that the state cannot walk away from
its transport concessions after they are made.
It is also not a trivial matter to define how the "winner" will be selected. Precision in
procurement would suggest that everything be defined perfectly and price alone would be
the determining factor. On the other hand, allowing the concessionaire maximum
initiative argues for broad "performance specifications" from government followed by
flexible offers from the private concessionaire. Even the issue of price needs care as there
can be a choice between, for example, awarding on the basis of maximum payment to
government (or minimum payment by government) as compared with minimum tariff to
be charged to users. There can also be a choice between unrestricted bidding versus
prequalification followed by bids only from those judged fully qualified. There is no
agreed answer to these questions: there are only informed choices, and calculated risks.
Few railways have been truly privatized, although there are recent examples available
including New Zealand, Canadian National, East Japan, Conrail in the US, and the
infrastructure and freight services of the old British Rail. Instead, most governments
3
have preferred to concession ("franchise") their railway. The reasons for the preference
for concessioning as compared to privatization are not always clear, but we believe
that
governments have been wary of what appears to be total loss of control over
their
railway. Governments appear to believe that concessioning offers them a little bit of
the
best of both worlds; they retain ultimate control over the infrastructure (at least in
the
political sense) while at the same time allowing the private sector to carry out
the
operating functions and compete for customers in the market. In some cases, they also
get to put a significant amount of money into their treasury -- never a bad idea compared
with a railway that represents a large drain on the national coffers today.
The Experience With Concessioning of Railways
We should emphasize that rail concessioning is not really new. In fact, many railways
were originally built and operated as "concessions" and, had there not occurred after
World War II a worldwide political wave of public ownership, especially in countries
undergoing decolonialization, many railways would never have been publicly operated.
And, if railways had operated successfully in public hands, there might be no pressures
to
return operations to the private sector.
But the decades since World War II have been hard for railways for two major reasons;
first, governments have promoted the rise of the highway and air modes, often operated
in
the private sector and, second and maybe more important, railways have generally
become mired in politics, often depriving them of adequate capital for repair
and
investment, and always lumbering them with a confused and contradictory set
of
objectives in competition with modes that had a much clearer mission. The results
were
uniformly disappointing.
The downward slide of the nationally-owned railways has happened in parallel
with
increasing globalization and increased pressure on national finances. Governments
can
no longer afford bad rail services, and this has led to politically painful measures
to fix
the problem. With the benefit of some hindsight, we can see that these pressures started
the process of change in the early 1990s in Argentina, the UK, and the early measures
taken by the European Commission. The success of these early attempts, combined
with
a lack of credible alternatives, has caused the process to snowball rapidly in
Latin
America. Concessioning is also beginning in Africa, the Middle-East, and tentatively
in
Asia. A similar process, partly based on concessioning/franchising, and partly based
on
privatization has also taken hold in the European Union (EU) countries.
We give some summary discussion of the cases below with the caveat that there
are
probably more cases than we will discuss. We would welcome additional information
that anyone wishes to give us. In addition, the list is so long that we cannot provide
maps
due to high cost of production. We will present maps in the IRCA Congress,
and can
make maps available to those who request them. We present Table 1 as an overall
summary of all of the concessions that we know of along with some broad comparative
data describing them.

Argentine Railways: The Process and Results
Throughout the 1980s the Argentine national railway, Ferrocarriles Argentinos (FA), was
losing approximately US$800 million annually as a result of inefficiency, competition
from other modes, weak management and inadequate investment. Traffic fell from almost
30 billion traffic units (combined tonne-km and passenger-km) in 1965 to less than half
that in 1991 -- and it was still headed downward. The concessioning strategy selected by
the government was grounded in five basic principles: 1) the railway deficit was no
longer sustainable; 2) FA was unsalvageable as an enterprise; 3) some freight services
were probably viable; 4) the Buenos Aires suburban passenger services, though loss
making, were so important to the development of the city that they had to be continued;
and 5) operating efficiency, particularly staffing levels, would have to be improved.
By mid-1990, the government and the World Bank agreed on restructuring the railway
into several separate freight and commuter rail networks, concessioning of these
networks, rationalization of inter-city passenger services, establishment of new rail
regulatory agencies, creation of a metropolitan transport authority for Buenos Aires,
revision of the operating practices and rules, a labor strategy to reduce the size of the
work force and improve productivity, and disposal of redundant assets.
Six freight packages were created for concessioning on 30 year terms, with an optional 10
year extension. The concessionaires have exclusive use of the tracks, although they must
grant access to passenger operations in return for a compensatory track use fee.
Concessionaires were required to hire only existing FA employees at the outset, though
they were given freedom to employ only those they considered necessary for operational
needs. FA made severance payments averaging about two years' wages to staff not hired
by the concessionaires.
The government marketed the concessions worldwide and received sealed bids for all but
the meter gauge Belgrano network (which is being rehabilitated for later concessioning).
All bidders had to meet certain technical and financial requirements. Thereafter bids for
the freight networks were evaluated on the net present value of the level of "canon" to be
paid to the government during the first 15 years of the concession as well as the quality of
business and investment plans, staffing levels, the track access fee proposed for inter-city
trains, and the share of Argentine interest in the consortium. The bids were graded on a 110 scale on each of the seven criteria, with the individual scores being weighted
according to the priority assigned to each category. The bidder's qualifications and the
basic investment program were each assigned a 30 point weight, (with a possible five
point bonus for additional investment), the number of personnel to be retained 15, canon
12, the maintenance plan eight, and five for the track access fee. The weighting reflected
5
the importance attributed to investment in the railways, but also political compromises
over the employment issue.
For the suburban passenger concessions, the bidding documents defined the minimum
service to be provided (seats per hour, frequency, travel time, punctuality) and a
required
capital program to make up for years of neglect of maintenance. Maximum
fares for
standard service, with fare increases as a premium for improved services,
were
established. Those bidders who satisfied the technical and financial requirements
and
produced satisfactory business and operating plans were evaluated on the basis of
their
financial proposal, including the required subsidy. Bidding on the basis of lowest
government payment allowed the government to ensure that the bidding process
was
direct and transparent yet left the concessionaires carrying commercial risks, and making
investment timing decisions.
Currently there are renegotiations over the investment program level and timing.
In
freight, this is because the proven demand will not support the investment
levels
promised: on the other hand, suburban passenger and Metro demand is so much higher
than expected that the government-specified capital program is proving to be inadequate
and new provisions for investment must be made.
By most measures, Argentine railway concessioning has been successful. Figures
1-4
below illustrate the radical transformation in both freight and passenger railway
productivity that the concessionaires have been able to achieve. The freight railways
(except the Belgrano) were concessioned, starting in 1991. There are four broad gauge
concessions - The Buenos Aires al Pacifico (BAP), The Ferro Expreso Pampeano
(FEPSA), The Nuevo Central Argentino (NCA), and Ferro Sur Roca (FSR).
The
Mesopotamico (old Urquiza), a standard gauge railway, has also been concessioned.
Insert Figure 1 here
The suburban passenger railways were concessioned in 1994-95. Figure 2 shows
an
abrupt increase in traffic over these lines, though given poor data collection and
fare
enforcement before concessioning, some of the increase in demand may well
be
attributable to better fare collection rather than actual ridership increase. The subway
system (the Subte) was also concessioned in conjunction with the Urquiza suburban
railway (because they are connected, have similar third rail systems, and both
are
standard gauge). Subte demand is up about 38 percent from 1993 to 1996.
Insert Figure 2 here
Most interurban passenger services operating before concessioning have now been
closed, except between Buenos Aires and Mar del Plata, and a few other shorter
haul
services operated by the provinces. Buses have picked up most of the former intercity
rail
ridership.
6
Figures 3 and 4 below give an indication of the scale of overstaffing on the old FA. The
Figures are slightly misleading, since prior to the concessioning of FA, there was a full
inter-city passenger service, and hence more employees were required. Nevertheless
there is a dramatic decrease in the number of employees on the railway (from a total of
94,800 in 1989 to approximately 17,000 today) and a very large increase in labor
productivity under the new managements.

Insert Figure 4 here
It is always dangerous to claim victory prematurely, and there is still room for things to
go wrong. Although most appear stable, none of the freight concessions are fantastically
profitable, and some may even be in trouble financially. It is also true that most of the
intercity rail passenger services have been lost for good. In addition, Table 1 shows that
the traffic density (TU/km) of Argentina's freight railways is quite low and success under
these circumstances will be hard-earned. This said, it is hard to deny the real turnaround
in traffic trends, quadrupling of labor productivity, improvements in service quality,
reductions in prices, and a reduction in the public deficit of about US$600 million per
year (about 0.5 percent of GDP).
Brazilian Railways
There were four principal railways in Brazil, the national railway (RFFSA), the railway
of Sao Paulo State (FEPASA), and the two railways owned by the Companhia do Vale do
Rio Doce (CVRD), totaling approximately 30,000 km of track. RFFSA was the largest of
these, and accounted for approximately 2/3 of the track, rolling stock, and employees.
Just as for most other railways around the world, development of a substantial highway
network in Brazil reduced the importance of the railway over the course of the last three
decades, particularly in the passenger market where there are now almost no inter-city
passenger services. However railways do still account for about 25 percent of the total
freight movements measured in tonne-km.
Government intervention in railway operations has been manifold, including: 1)
prevention of line closure, despite low traffic density; 2) until 1989, strict control of the
level and structure of tariffs -- after 1989, tariff increases remained subordinate to macroeconomic plans; 3) uncompensated public service obligations for non-remunerative intercity and local passenger services; 4) interference in investment plans; 5) political
imposition of redundant labor; and, 6) severe restrictions on capital investment leading to
deferred maintenance and a low level (<50 percent) of locomotive availability.
RFFSA was formed in 1957, by merging 18 independent railways. Though traffic growth
was relatively steady following nationalization, the poor management of the business and
frequent government interference meant poor financial health. There were many attempts
at reform including labor reduction programs, intercity passenger service reductions, and
7
a transfer of the suburban passenger
operations and deficits into a separate
organization
(CBTU). Despite all this, RFFSA remained
in consistent deficit, with an annual average
operating loss of US $380 million between
1988 and 1991, and with all trends downward.
The government considered many different
options for RFFSA before settling
on
concessioning of six exclusive regional
systems as a result of the geographic
characteristics of the country as well
as the gauge differences and the significant
crossregional differences in traffic on the railway.
In fact, of the six regional units developed
for concessioning, only two were physically
contiguous and had the same track gauge
(Nordeste and Centro-Leste). The different
systems also served very different markets:
two (Sudeste and Tereza Cristina) are
dominated by a limited number of commodities
(iron ore, steel, and coal), the Nordeste
is a low density, mixed commodity
regional
carrier, Sul and Centro-Leste carry a broad
mix of commodities, and Oeste connects
the
agricultural region of the south to the
Atlantic ports via FEPASA.
There were two other major considerations
for the government as it assessed
restructuring: employment, and track
and rolling stock conditions. Though
RFFSA had
already made substantial progress in
reducing its work force (from 110,000
in 1975 to
42,000 in May 1995) labor productivity
remained low when compared with both
North
American standards and those of other
Latin American concessioned railways
(see Table
1). There was also considerable variation
in productivity across the network with
tonnekm per employee varying from a low of
200-300,000 on the Nordeste and Tereza
Cristina
networks to nearly one million on the
Sul, Centro-Leste and Oeste, and over
two
million
on the Sudeste. Hence, a redundancy
package was developed as were target
employment
levels which averaged about a 40 percent
reduction from immediate pre-concessioning
levels.
In addition to the legally required severance
payments the package includes incentives
for
early retirement and voluntary separation,
involuntary separation grants for the remaining
redundant staff, re-training programs
based on regional employment opportunities,
and
job search and outplacement assistance.
On average, the total package corresponded
to
about 21 months of salary. The program
was phased so that before concessioning,
the
incentive schemes for early retirement
and voluntary separation were introduced,
with
further involuntary separation depending
on the results. In the second phase,
after
concessioning, RFFSA paid or will
pay involuntary separation grants to
remaining
redundant staff not hired by the concessionaire.
As an example of this process, the Oeste
was concessioned in March 1996 with
a specified minimum number of employees
(1800)
which was 400 short of the employment
level before concessioning. These 400
surplus
employees were therefore compensated
by the government under the involuntary
separation scheme.
Compensation for additional layoffs,
if any, beyond the specified number
is a
responsibility of the concessionaire. Because
the initial employment decision is outside
the hands of the concessionaire (unlike
Argentina), it will be harder for the concessionaire

Chile:A DifferentApproach
For several reasons, particularly the continuing importance of passenger
services, the
government of Chile felt itself unable to adopt the approach in Argentina.
Instead, the
government initially decided to concession only the freight services on the
broad gauge
network while keeping the infrastructure and passenger services in public hands.
At the
time (1995), this was possibly the first of the concessions based on
infrastructure
separation.
In its first years of operation, the freight concession (also called FEPASA)
has faced a
difficult battle to stabilize traffic, learn to live with their public sector
infrastructure
partners, get locomotives back in service, and fight back the challenge of trucks
(which is
not easy since the average length of freight haul in Chile is not favorable for
rail). Recent
traffic trends suggest that the battle will be won. The government has not
been fully
satisfied with the operations which remain in public hands and has committed
itself to
concessioning the infrastructure in one piece, and to concessioning the
passenger
operations in one intercity piece and two separate suburban services. These
concessions
will be complex and their implementation will take another year or so for results
to show.
In addition, Chile has also recently concessioned its meter gauge railway
(the old
Ferronorte which had been operated separately from the broad gauge railway)
and the
Arica to La Paz railway, one of the steepest and most difficult railways in the
world.
Bolivia
The government of Bolivia concessioned its railway in two pieces, the Western
(Oriental)
section which connects to Brazil (the Brazilian Oeste concession, in fact) and
the Andina
which connects to Argentina and Chile (the Antofagasta and Bolivia and the
Arica to La
Paz). These were competitively awarded on the basis of maximum price which
was to be
reinvested in the concessions ("recapitalization"). Traffic in Bolivia has responded
well
and Figure 5 shows that labor productivity is rising.
Mexico
Mexico is unusual in that it is a developing country with a border and a free
trade area
(NAFTA) with developed countries. As a result, the Mexican system was
concessioned
in a way that maximizes the opportunity for cross-border traffic as well
as domestic
flows. The system was divided into three major pieces plus a terminal company
serving
the Federal Capital area which will be jointly owned by the three concessionaires.
The
Northeast concession connecting to the US at Nuevo Laredo was sold first
(for about
US$1.4 billion) to a Mexican/US consortium headed by a large Mexican
transport
company (TMM) and a US regional railway (the Kansas City Southern).
The
Northwestern Concession (Pacifico Norte) was recently sold for US$524
million to a
consortium of Mexican industrial interests and the Union Pacific Railroad in
the US. The
government intends to market the Southeastern concession in the near future,
along with a
10
series of short lines that appear to have more value as independent operations like the
short lines in the US.
Interestingly, the Mexican government proceeded in a somewhat different way that
appears to be useful to governments that want to move rapidly. The railway (FNM) was
divided into the four planned concessions which were converted into stock companies
with separate management teams already holding the concession while still in
government hands. The government then sold a controlling interest in the stock by sealed
bids (stock not yet sold must be offered on the stock exchange or purchased by the
concessionaire at the original price). By selling stock rather than the concession, the
government was able to transfer a going concern, a process that can occur more smoothly
and rapidly than a concession alone, and the government was able to influence the
behavior of FNM before concessioning was finished. The concessioning in Mexico is too
recent to be able to report results.
Guatemala
The railway in Guatemala (FEGUA) had reached a point in early 1996 in which labor
disputes had caused it to be shut down with no prospects for restarting in government
hands. After examining all its options, the government concessioned the railway to a
Guatemalan/US consortium on a simple, "best efforts" basis in which rebuilding the
railway and its services is expected to be a long and slow process. There are no results as
yet.
Peru and Uruguay: PlannedConcessions
The government of Peru is now in the process of dividing its railway (ENAFER) into
three pieces for concessioning. After a long period of consideration of options, the
government has announced that sales should commence in the near future. The
government of Uruguay is evaluating approaches to award a concession to haul wood
products from inland to seaports.
Nicaraguaand CostaRica: The Cost of Failureto Change
Similar to the railway in Guatemala, the railways in Nicaragua and Costa Rica had
ground to a halt as a result of non-commercial management and labor disputes. In
Nicaragua, the government was unable to reach agreement on a course of action, and the
railway was liquidated. The railway in Costa Rica is in a sirnilar position after two years
of closure of operations and it is not clear that the railway can now be successfully
restarted even though the government is attempting to do so for the Caribbean side. The
lesson seems clear: at some point, if solutions cannot be found, railways can and will be
liquidated, an outcome that is the worst result for everyone involved.
Africa
The Abidjan-Ouagadougou Raiway: The Process and Initial Results
For many years up to 1989, the Abidjan-Ouagadougou railway (the Regie Abidjan-Niger,
or RAN) was managed and operated by a bi-national public company.
Originally, it
enjoyed a near monopoly on freight traffic to Burkina Faso, but, in
the mid-1970s
financial performance of the RAN suffered because of growing competition
from road
transport, as well as the competition for port traffic which Lome, Togo,
presented to
Abidjan. In 1989, partly as a result of nationalistic pressures, it was split into
two separate
state-owned companies which further aggravated the decline. In July
1992, both
governments decided to reunify the railway and privatize operations
under a single
operating concession.
Partly advised in the later stages by the World Bank, the governments jointly
awarded a
15 year concession in 1994 to SITARAIL which is a consortium of a
private sector
shareholder (51 percent), both governments (15 percent each), railway
staff (three
percent) and local private investors (16 percent). The concessionaire began
operations in
August, 1995 (see Table 1 for basic data). The majority shareholder is itself
a consortium
of international freight forwarders, an international shipping line, an Ivoirian
investment
group, and international railway engineering consultants. The consortium
approach, with
a controlling strategic shareholder from the private sector but with significant
remaining
public ownership is one which has been adopted elsewhere (e.g., Chile, Bolivia,
and some
of the Argentine freight concessions), largely in response to a lingering
political belief
that there ought to be a continuing local awareness of railway performance
and some
public stake in the railway's success.
Unlike most other rail concessions, SITARAIL provides both freight and
passenger
services, and may set its own tariffs for both. The concession contract also
provides for
services to be operated at government (local or national) request as public
service
obligations (PSOs). These services will be run under separate contracts specifying
the
characteristics of service and the financial compensation. To date, there
is no such
service, despite the fact that the concessionaire abandoned all unprofitable
local
passenger services when it took over the railway.
Because of the relatively short concessioning period, the concessionaire does
not own
rolling stock or other equipment; instead, two national patrimony corporations
have been
established. These corporations own both track and equipment, and will
lease rolling
stock to the concessionaire as necessary (though the concessionaire may purchase
its own
equipment if it views that as more appropriate). Infrastructure investment is
also made by
these patrimony corporations, though with advice on priority and desirability
from
SITARAIL, which also contributes a fee for debt service. SITARAIL is also
responsible
for maintenance of the track and for a part of equipment maintenance.
All of these
arrangements are designed to ensure that it is the concessionaire,
acting out of
commercial interest, who makes decisions about investment needs and timing.
12
SITARAIL's payments for the concession are three-fold: 1) a usage fee, to be negotiated
every three years and related to revenues on the railway; 2) the debt service payment
incurred by the patrimony corporations; and, 3) a lease fee for the use of motive power
and equipment. Payments are kept in an investment and renewal fund to allow the
patrimony corporations to refurbish the equipment as necessary.
This approach ensures that commercial motivations are uppermost in investment
decisions, since the concessionaire is both selecting investment timing and level and
paying the debt service. Also, because the usage fee is to be renegotiated every three
years, the concession will evolve over time, depending on the nature of the revenue
streams and the required investment levels. This represents a compromise, a common
feature of concession agreements, between: 1) a desire to remove railway operations and
decision making from the government realm; 2) a hope to reduce the extent of uncertainty
for investors, who are reassured by a staged negotiation; and, 3) the objective of
maximizing government income from the concession.
The concession agreement contains an important, controversial feature. Most railways are
concessioned on an exclusive basis, with perhaps some track access rights for allowing
connecting railways access to certain portions of track, vital to create competition in
major markets (as in Mexico) or for non-competing services (such as passenger services
on freight tracks). The governments granted SITARAIL only a seven year exclusivity
period, after which time SITARAIL must grant track access, for an agreed fee, to any
third party carrier requested by the governments. This again was a clear compromise
between the govermments' perception that reduction of the monopoly power of the
concessionaire, by allowing competitive access to the tracks, would be beneficial versus
the private sector stress on the need to have full control over the tracks and full control
over the market, to make revenues easier to forecast and adequate profitability more
feasible.
We have only a little more than one year's experience with the SITARAIL concession,
but the initial results are encouraging. Figure 6 shows that freight traffic has turned
upward after many years of decline.

SITARAIL's experience is so limited that caution is clearly in order.
It is fair to say that
the results are positive, and that the trends are in the right direction.

SITARAIL has done miffors the actions of the Argentina concessions,
and the results
look the same as Argentina at the same stage in the process.
A number of other African concessioning efforts are underway (see Table
1 for statistics
where they are available). Malawi is in advanced stages of soliciting
proposals for a
concession to operate the Malawi Railway. Mozambique has announced
intentions to
concession all three parts of the CFM, and bids have been announced for
the Maputo and
Nacala corridors. Zambia has announced intentions to concession ZR,
and requests for
studies for marketing the concession will soon be advertised. Zimbabwe
has announced
intentions to concession the railway infrastructure (but not yet operations),
a unique
approach. South Africa is intensively evaluating concessioning
of the suburban
passenger services (but not yet the freight or intercity passenger railway).
Madagascar is
in the final stages of receiving bids for a concession. The Republic
of the Congo
(Brazzaville) and Gabon are completing studies of how to carry out their concession,
and
Cameroon will be receiving proposals in the near future. As a final note,
the railways of
Togo and the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire) were,
until recently,
operated under management contracts. Clearly the role of the private sector
in managing
African railways will be growing.
Other Concessioning and Franchising Programs
The government of Jordan has announced its intention to concession
the Aqaba Railway,
a railway that hauls phosphate rock for the Jordanian Phosphate Mining
Company. This
is likely to be awarded on a minimum tariff basis and consulting efforts
are underway to
finalize the terms of the proposed concession. The government of
Pakistan is
considering options for privatizing part or all of Pakistan Railways, though
the choice
between concessioning as opposed to privatization is still under consideration.
Even
Indian Railways now has a privately invested company, CONCOR,
engaged in hauling
containers over the national network.
Although the main topic of this paper is concessioning, at least a short
mention of railway
privatization seems in order. The old British Rail has been privatized
in its infrastructure
and freight operations. Passenger services on BR were converted into
"franchises" which
in effect are short term, negative concessions to provide services under
limited terms and
conditions. New Zealand sold its railway outright (to the same investor
group that
subsequently bought the old BR freight services). The Canadian government's
shares in
Canadian National were sold to the public, as were a majority of the shares
which the
Japanese
government held in East Japan Railways and Central Japan Railways.
The
US
government nationalized Penn Central in 1971, and later sold its shares
in the successor
company,
Conrail, in 1987.
Perhaps the most important innovation in railway organization in
the next decades will be
the European Commission's Order 91-440 and its follow-on Orders
opening national
14
networks up to operations from all qualified carriers. While Order 91-440 explicitly
it
required only that infrastructure accounts be separated from those of operations,
and
implicitly also required that social passenger services, intercity passenger services
freight services be accounted separately in order to show that state subsidies were limited
clear
solely to social passenger services. The thrust of the Order has actually ignited a
trend in the EU toward institutional separation of infrastructure from operations because
infrastructure is seen as a state responsibility while operations (except for social services)
are seen as commercial. In fact, we argue that one eventual result of institutional
and
separation is going to be franchising or even privatization of most freight services
is
possibly intercity passenger services as well. BR has shown that total privatization
possible, and DB (Germany) and FS (Italy) have already announced plans to privatize
freight
freight services as an initial step. Romania is also considering privatizing
and
services, though there are no plans to privatize infrastructure. Exciting times,
change, are in store for railways!
The World Bank's Role
the
The World Bank has strongly supported the process of concessioning in cases where
the
of
all
proposed conditions appeared to make sense. This has included some or
the
following in various rail concessioning efforts: 1) financing new construction where
or
success of the concession is dependent on new facilities; 2) financing repair
3)
rehabilitation to deliver the rail property in operable condition to a concessionaire;
or
assisting environmental cleanup; 4) helping to finance labor retraining, redundancy
is
retirement schemes; 5) providing partial risk guarantees where policy implementation
in
critical to the success of concessioning; and, 6) financing technical assistance
concession design, packaging and marketing. In addition, the International Finance
Corporation (IFC) has taken an investment role in several concessions.
Conclusion
Each country approached its problems slightly differently, and each provides different
insights into what can be achieved through the concession mechanism. However, a few
common themes can be discerned:
1.
Restructuring and substantial government investment in the design of the
concession pay off in successful concessioning;
2.
There are a growing number of companies and consortia interested in investing in
railway concessions if the concessions are offered on reasonable terms;
3.
Both "positive" (where the concessionaire pays the government an agreed sum for
the concession rights) and "negative" (where the government pays the
concessionaire for operating and maintaining the property) concessions are
be
possible, hence loss-making but socially necessary services can also
concessioned;
15
4.
Concessionaires can in fact do exactly what is expected -- increase
traffic,
improve service and enhance labor and asset efficiency, if they are allowed
to do
so; and,
5.
In virtually every case, the new majority owners of the concession were
local
investors -- thus no "recolonialization" occurred. Instead, the local
owners
partnered with foreign operating expertise (thus far US, Canadian,
Chilean,
French, and Portuguese) which held only a minority share in the equity
of the
concession. Moreover, the actual number of expatriates involved in concessions
has usually started with two to five professionals, and then declined to one
or less
as local expertise has grown. Concessions work because government interference
is ended and commercial management techniques are introduced and allowed
to
operate. Beyond this, there is nothing magic about successful operations
of
railways as businesses.
As Table 1 shows, concessions or franchises have already been awarded
for railway
operations in many countries and are under preparation in many others.
This includes not
just European and Latin American systems, but is increasingly the focus
of attention in
Africa. As we have tried to stress, concessioning is not simple, and governments
must
carefully analyze existing networks, their own objectives, and potential
interest in the
concessions, before embarking. Though the process is complex and is neither
a panacea
nor risk-free, the results can be the sort of productivity improvements that
have been seen
in Argentina over the course of the last five years, and as are developing
in C6te d'Ivoire
and Burkina Faso and in Brazil and Bolivia.
Bringing the railways into the market, and allowing commercial incentives
to drive
management decisions creates an environment in which costs are reduced
and railways
can once again play a significant role in meeting the transport needs of a
country. Under
the right circumstances, concessioning works and may be the only
way out of the
downward spiral in which many government-operated railways are currently
trapped.

DUREE DE LA CONCESSION
*
Une concession de longue duree est necessaire pour inciter le
Concessionnaire a investir et mettre en oeuvre une politique a long terme
en matiere d'entretien, de personnel, de commercialisation,...
*
Difficiles problemes les dernieres annees de la concession en cas de
concession a duree fixe
*
La formule de la concession "glissante" (par exemple, duree initiale de
20 ans, avec prolongation eventuelle pour cinq ans, a decider 3 l'issue
de chaque periode de cinq ans a partir du debut de la concession)
constituera souvent une bonne solution.

CONTROLE DE LA CONCESSION ET ARBITRAGE
*
Une Agence de Regulation est en general inutile
*
Le controle a exercer par I'Etat doit etre defini en detail dans la

protection de 1'environnement)
*
Audit annuel de la concession par un auditeur independant
*
Litiges entre I'Etat et le Concessionnaire a soumettre de preference a
I'arbitrage (Chambre de Commerce International, Centre International
pour le Reglement des Differends relatifs aux Investissements,...)

The Government Policy and the Legal Framework
State Reform and Public Enterprises Restructuring Law
was passed in August '89 in order to:
* restructure Argentina's economy
- market-oriented
- improve efficiency
* tackle fiscal deficit
* promote a smaller but solid public sector
* encourage private sector operation
of state-owned enterprises
Mercer Management Consuiting
Railway Performance was Poor
*
More than US$800 million loss
(US$3.00 million per sector)
*
Inefficient operations with surplus labor
*
Deteriorating plant and equipment
*
Poor service with declining market share
Miercer Management Consulting
Argentina's Railways were- Collapsing
*
With a network of 35,000 km and more than
90,000 employees, the system was not
achieving its potential
*
Freight market share was less than 10 percent
*
Intercity passenger share was less than 6 percent
*
In Buenos Aires, with a population of 12 million,
250 private bus companies carry 2.8 billion
passengers, versus 274 million carried by rail
and 140 million by subway

Railway Privatizations in A-rgentina
The Government, determined to face the situation and carry out a
major change, undertook the privatization of these services by
granting them under concession to private operators as a means to
reduce the heavy financial burden represented by railways on
public finance, increase railway activity, and introduce new
management criteria, oriented towards efficiency, service quality,
and profitability.

Transaction Process
Overall, FNM expects an orderly and expeditious transaction process that
is consistent with the objectives of the Mexican Government.
. The Government will offer a lorng term concession to market and provide service and may
consider concession renewal
* The concessionaire will operate within a market-based regulatory regime that minimizes
governmnent regulation and control
* Concessions will be granted with "clean slate" balance sheets with the exception of liabilities
and obligations incurred in the normal course of business
* The Government expects to assume labor costs incurred prior to concession
* The Government expects that there will be a favorable climate for stable and growing
employment in a revitalized railroad
* The concessionaire will be able to determine its own operating practices, including labor
selection and work rules, within the context of Mexican law
* The Government will not require a specific capital program, but expects that investments will be
made to sustain the business and that proceeds from retirement and replacement of assets will
be reinvested to meet the capital requirements of the business
* The Government anticipates that the concession will generate income sufficient to provide an
adequate return to investors
* The limits of foreign investment in the concession are under discussion
* There are no restrictions on repatriation of capital
* The Government will assumne 100% of liabilities for past environmental damage
* The concessionaire is expected to provide cornmercially acceptable levels of safety, quality,
service, and insurance

Mercer's financial modeling of the CPTM system under concessionaire operation estimates that the
system will recover its operating costs from farebox revenues in the future.
• Estimates of future financial performance depend on key assumptions concerning the future environment and
concessionaire performance:
* Strong passenger volume growth driven by population growth and improvements in service quality
* Achievement of benchmarked levels of productivity in transportation and administrative departments
* Increases in fleet availability driven by improved maintenance practices
* Expansion of the railcar fleet as ridership grows
* Programs to reduce fare evasion
* The Government does not anticipate providing operating subsidies to concessionaires

However, concessionaires' operating cash flow will be insufficient to fund capital renewal
and system
expansion.
* Taxes paid by concessionaires to the Government will offset some but not all costs of capital
renewal
* The Government is considering several strategies to fund future capital requirements
* Assigning responsibility for capital replacement to concessionaires and requesting a
negative tender
* Assigning responsibility for capital replacement to the government and securing funding
guarantees from an international development bank
* Negotiating Government capital assistance on an annual or project-by-project basis

fixant l'organisation et les
conditions de fonctionnement de la ligne ferroviaire Abidjan/Ouaga
dont la gestion a ete confiee a
un 'tablissement international a caractere industriel et commercial
denomme Regie des chemins

Les principales caracteristiques de ce chemin de fer etaient les suivantes:
- Longueur de la ligne 1260 Km a ecartement metrique a l'exception de 3 tron9ons d'une
longueur cumulee de 37 Km, qui sont a double voie et situes sur le territoire ivoirien:
croisement dans les gares.
- 41 gares ouvertes dont 28 assurent le trafic commercial, 13 assurent uniquement la securite;
- La voie se trouve dans un etat moyen et souffre particulierement, sur certains troncons, de
rails ayant atteint le seuil d'usure critique et d'un manque de ballast =: nombreux
deraillements.
- La plus grande partie du materiel roulant se trouve dans un etat de degradation critique due
aux retards enregistres en matieres d'entretien courant;
-

- Au dela de 300 Km, le chemin de fer est plus competitif que la route pour l'acheminement des
produits pondereux;
- Permet 1'evacuation de tonnage important par la composition de trains blocs (hydrocarbures,
conteneurs, etc....);
- Plus de securite et de respect pou'r 1'environnement compare a la route.

La mise en concession du reseau ferroviaire a permis:
* De preserver 1100 emplois en Cote d'lvoire dans l'immediat,
* D'accroltre la competitivite du port d'Abidjan,
* De reporter des trafics de I'axe routier revetu nord-sud sur le chemin
de fer
=> Economies substantielles en matiere d'entretien,
de renforcement et de construction de
routes neuves;
* D'eviter une flambee des tarifs de transport routier de l'ordre de 20%

World Bank Railway Seminar
Abidjan, Ivory Coast
14 October 1997
Theme
Africa's railways are diverse in terms of markets and assets. However,
in financial terms the structural fundamentals are the same. A major
opportunity is therefore to build from the diverse, and often expensive,
lessons recently learned in the USA and Latin America. Conversely, a
major risk is to misinterpret those lessons.

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION TOPICS
WORLD BANK SEMINAR ABIDJAN, IVORY COAST
OCTOBER 1997
Previously, Mr.Kogan of Mercer Mgt. aptly summarized
the
concessioning process in Latin America. The level of
public support
expressed in terms of ton km's and passengers carried,
indicates a
successful result. The historic trendline of declining
output levels
was halted, new investments in infrastructure were facilitated,
and
the issue of labor productivity and transition protection
were
also
directly addressed.
The process has resulted in some general how to principles
developed overtime. From the stand point of a potential
the following points should be considered for a smooth operator
bidding
process and startup:
1.
Stick to the plan and timetable originally express
to
the public.
Delays in the process should only be considered when
a1i registered
parties feel that a delay or change will materially improve
some
aspect of the transaction.
2.
Minimize time from decision date to date of
takeover.

maintenance and other operating problems.
3. The new operator must be given the operational
latitude to implement new rules and procedures in the
field.
A common pitfall is the divergence between the policy level where
changes form an integral part of the process versus the regulatory
and bureaucratic level where any change may be subject to
potentially difficult and exhaustive delays.
4. It is generally not desirable to divide control of the
Right of Way from the transportation function.
Capital requirements and their impact on operational procedures
are not easily divisible. Operational rules and standards are
interactive among tracks, signals, and the trains that are operated
over them. If one party cannot control all aspects, the solution
could be a higher projected level of fees for the unknown as well as
potentially excess capital spending.
5. The project must -be of a magnitude to cover certain
threshold costs.
Subdivision of large scale project into pieces to stimulate future
competition is desirable. The key is to insure that each component
has critical mass.
6. The government and concessionaire to some extent
should view one another as partners. Therefore. variable
fees should be factored into the compensation scheme if
possible.
High fixed fees at startup only add to immediate cash needs at the
same time when startup costs are at a high point for training,
inventory buildup, and initial capital programs.

PERSPECTIVES DES OPERATEURS FERROVIAIRES
ET DES INVESTISSEURS
LE POINT DE VUE DE SAGA
1- Monsieur le Ministre, Monsieur le Pr6sident, Mesdames,
Messieurs, mon
experience, quoique encore r6cente, de ma participation
a ce type de s6minaires
m'a montr6 que, trop souvent,
* les intervenants ne traitaient pas toujours le sujet demand6,
mais parfois un autre
sujet;
*
leur expos6 d6passait presque toujours le temps imparti;
* enfin, plus que la pr6sentation faite par l'orateur, c'est
avant tout les 6changes
116s au jou des questions/r6ponses, a l'issue de 1'expos6,
qul se r6v6lalent
les plus Int6ressants pour I'auditoire.
Je m'efforcerai, par consequent, d'etre bref et concret,
l'occasion d'aborder ce sujet devant certains d'entre vous, d'autant que j'ai d6ja eu
vous proposant plut6t de
m'interroger ensuite dans le cadre de cette table ronde.
2 - L'an dernier, en effet, a l'occasion du s6minaire a Reperes
)),organis6 par l'UIC
a Rabat, traitant sensiblement du meme sujet, je m'6tais
alors
efforc6, dans un
expose probablement trop " th6orique ,', d'analyser
les diff6rentes motivations
d'une entreprise privee pour s'int6resser aux mises
en concession de lignes
de chemin de for. C'est ainsi que, dans un premier temps,
je n'avais pas distingue
entre l'lnvestisseur pur directement interess6 a la rentabilite
de ses capitaux, le
prestataire de services, pour qui c'est une opportunite
pour
d6velopper ses
activit6s, le fournisseur d'6quipements qui entend accroltre
son
chiffre
d'affaires,
enfin le chargeur dont l'approche s'apparen.e a celle
d'un
utilisateur
directement
int6resse a la qualit6 du service en meme temps qu'a sa
p6rennite
On
voit
ainsi que
les motivations peuvent beaucoup diff6rer selon les
partenaires
priv6s.
Et je
crois qu'au sein de celte table ronde ceote diversite est partiellement
repr6sent6e,
de
m6me qu'on la rencontre souvent au sein des groupements
qui
se
constituent
pour
repondre aux propositions de mise en concession actuelle
de r6seaux ferroviaires.
je m'en tiendrais
3 - Fidele, cependant, a mon engagement d'etre bref et concret,auquel j'appartiens
aujourd'hui a l'approche sp6cifique du Groupement SAGA,

4 - Quiconque s'est interesse a l'histoire des chemins
de fer en Afrique, et a leur
situation pr6sente au sein des economies nationales,
sait que ceux-ci:
* ont longtemps Wt6 la seule voie d'acces, a partir
des ports, vers l'int6rieur du
continent, meme si desormais ils sont largement concurrenc6s
par la route;
* sont particulibrement bien adapt6s a la nature
des trafics et des flux de
marchandises transitant par les ports;
* souffrent, par contre, de dysfonctionnements de
plus en plus nombreux dont
une des principales causes r6side dans une absence
d'investissements
conduisant & une degradation prononc6e de l'outil ferroviaire.

contre,
SAGA,
comme
SDV, figurant au rang de premiers clients de nombreux
r6seaux ferroviaires ne
pouvait, par consequent, se desinteresser de leur sort
alors meme qu'une 6volution
institutionnelle radicale, au travers d'une mise en concession
ou d'un affermage,
semblait se dessiner pour certains d'entre eux.
5 - En effet, outre la n6cessit6 absolue pour SAGA
de
cette modification du mode de gestion, il en r6sulterait s'assurer qu'au travers de

A. CAS DU CHEMIN DE FER MATADI-KINSHASA
(CFMK)
Ce chemin de Fer est g6r6 par l'Office
National des Transports (ONATRA).
OPTION DU GOUVERNEMENT
- Concession de l'exploitation ferroviaire
au secteur pnv6
- Creation d'une soci6t6 priv6e de
maintenance du mat6riel ferroviaire
- Creation d'une societ6 privee d'entretien
et de renouvellement de la voie
- Sous-traitance d'autres activit6s
connexes (exemple: carriere a ballastre)
- ONATRA devient une societe de
patrimoine
PROJET DE L'ONATRA
- Creation d'une soci6t6 de materiel
roulant (filiale du CFMK)
- Favoriser la creation des soci6t6s
de wagons et acquisition des wagons
par des
tiers (clients importants du CFMK)
- Creation d'une soci6t6 de maintenance
du materiel ferroviaire
- ONATRA conserve les installations
fixes du CFMK (T6l6communications,
signalisation, voie) mais scus-traite
les grands travaux
- ONATRA conserve l'exploitation
du Chemin de Fer du CFMK
- Cession de l'action commerciale
au secteur priv6 par la cr6ation des
commissionnaires - exp6diteurs
Le projet de I'6tude de mise
en concession du Chemin de

CHANGEMENT INTERVENU
Avec la lib6ration du ZaTre, devenu

les
nouvelles Autorit6s, estimant que le projet
SIZARAIL frisait le bradage du patrimoine
national, ont d6cid6 d'y mettre fin.

90 Park Avenue, Suite 1700
New York, N.Y. 10016 USA
Good morning. My name is Ben Anderson and I am a principal
in Anderson
Consulting Group in New York City. I recently had the privilege
of serving as the
Strategic Advisor to the Government of Bolivia in the capitalization
of the Bolivian
State Railway, also known as 'ENFE." On December 14, 1995,
the Government of
Bolivia successfully auctioned a 50% interest in each of the two
new railway
companies created from ENFE. Cruz Blanca of Chile was the
successful bidder for
both of those companies.
During my presentation, I would like to review the technique of
"capitalization"
and how it differs from a conventional privatization. I will also
describe some of the
alternative models for the privatization of railways, including
the traditional
concession model. Then I would like to focus on some of the
issues facing the
capitalization of ENFE (or any other railroad privatization), and
how we resolved them
in Bolivia.
I. CHOOSING THE PRIVATIZATION MODEL
There are a number of different ways to privatize a railway. Choosing
the best
method is a matter of developing a set of criteria for selecting
the privatization model.
The model that satisfies the largest number of those criteria, according
to the political,
social, and economic context of the particular country, is the
one that should be
chosen.
The criteria are the following:
1.
2.
3.
4.

7.
political acceptability;
attractiveness to private sector investors;
attractiveness to the govemment;
network benefits available from maintaining the
integrity of the national system;
the amount of privatization benefits achieved;
the degree and complexity of regulation required; and
minimization of legal impediments to the privatization.

govemment, helping to satisfy Criterion #3.

If displaced workers receive severance benefits, the political acceptability
of the
privatization is increased (satisfying the first criterion), and the fact
that the
government (not the concessionaire) may fund those benefits helps
satisfy Criterion
#2 (attractiveness to investors).
The regional concession model also avoids other problems. The
government's
lack of clear title to the railroad property becomes far less important,
because
everything but the property title is transferred to the concessionaire.
This helps us
meet Criterion #7, the minimization of legal impediments.
Political acceptability (always the most important criterion!) is further increased
by the regional concession model because the grant of a concession may
be presented
to the public as an interim step (rather than an irreversible sale)
that may or may not
lead to full privatization. The government may subsequently regain the property
upon
the expiration of the concession, or upon a breach of the concession contract
by the
concessionaire.
The preservation of network benefits (Criterion #4) was not a significant
in Bolivia because the national railway was already divided into two separate factor
systems
that were not interconnected. Furthermore, many of the benefits of an integrated
national railway system may be preserved by making provisions for voluntary
cooperation (as in the United States by the Association of American Railroads)
or by
regulation. For example, Brazil is now implementing voluntary co-operation
mechanisms to integrate the operations of its six regional concessions.
Multiple regional systems also reduce the amount and complexity of regulation
required, helping us to satisfy Criterion #6. Multiple concessions provide
a basis to
judge the fairness of one railroad's tariffs with those of another, much like
the
phenomenon of "yardstick competition" between electrical utilities in the
United
States. However, the most meaningful comparison or "yardstick" is that

II. OVERVIEW OF THE BOLIVIAN CAPITALIZATION PROGRAM
Now I would like to describe the model selected by Bolivia and how that
county
employed an unusual technique to accomplish what has been achieved
by
"privatization" in other countries. In Bolivia, the state-owned railway was
not "sold"
in the conventional sense. Rather, the enterprise was "capitalized" through
the
infusion of new capital in an amount equal to the company's book value,
for which the
investor received a 50% ownership interest and management control.
Each newly
capitalized company (called the "SAM," or Sociedad Anomina Mixta,
or "mixed capital
company') was granted an exclusive concession to operate a designated
national railroad for a period of 30 years. In Bolivia, the national system section of the
was divided
into two subsystems, the "Andina" and the "Oriental." Each was the
subject of a
separate capitalization.
3
I must emphasize that this was not a case of the investor buying 50% of a
company from the Bolivian Government. Rather, it was a contribution, or infusion, of
capital in that company. The difference between this and a privatization is that when
the investor takes control of the company, the money he has "paid" is still in the
company's treasury, not in the treasury of the Government.
If we were to look at the balance sheet of the newly capitalized company, we
would see that on the left-hand side, the cash account has increased by the amount
of the capital infusion; on the right-hand side, the eguitv account has increased by
the same amount. The investor, the so-called "strategic partner," now owns 50% of
this new equity and has management control. The Government owns the other 50%,
but it is the intention of the Bolivian Government to turn this half interest over to the
Bolivian people by contributing it to privately managed pension funds.
If the strategic partner manages well, he will have a satisfactory return on his
capital because his 50% interest in the newly invigorated company will be worth more
than a 100% interest in the company that existed previously. Both the investor and
the Bolivian people will benefit.
Of course, achieving this result will be a difficult task. The remainder of my
presentation will describe some of the major issues in implementing the capitalization
model relative to a railroad. Not only are these issues common to both privatization
and capitalization, they will be encountered in any transfer of railroad operations from
the government to the private sector.
III.
MAJOR ISSUES IN THE CAPITALIZATION OF ENFE
I would like to discuss five significant issues that we faced in the capitalization
of the Bolivian State Railway:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
the treatment of ENFE's debts;
the disposition of ENFE's excess real estate;
subsidies and tariffs;
the regulatory mechanism; and
what to do about excess employees.
These aren't the only issues, of course, and we probably haven't come up with
the definitive solution for any of them. Our goal was to come up with a solution that
would be, first, politically acceptable, and second, lead to a successful transaction.
We could not afford to alienate either the Bolivian people or the prospective investors.
If you do not satisfy both groups, you will not have a successful transaction.
Although my bias was toward making the transaction attractive to investors, the
Government had to deal with political realities. Usually, the political realities are the
deciding factor.
4
1.
The Treatment of ENFE's Debts
Regarding the treatment of the state railway company's debts,
we sought to
minimize the amount of debt to be assumed by the new company.
This was advisable
for two reasons: (1) the larger the amount of debt in the SAM
after the capitalization,
the less equity the investor would be willing to infuse; and
(2) much of ENFE's
existing debt was related to projects that a commercially operated
railway would never
have undertaken. Furthermore, servicing the old debt would
remove capital from the
SAM, thereby contradicting the intent of the capitalization, which
was to infuse cash
into the new company rather than remove it.
We decided to include in the opening balance sheet only that
portion of the
external debt directly related to the operating, non-infrastructure
assets,
that is,
locomotives, rolling stock, and equipment. Infrastructure assets
were not included in
the opening balance sheet of the new company; instead, the
right to use that
infrastructure was granted under a long-term concession.
"Infrastructure assets"
included land; track and track structure; and buildings, including
stations and shops.
This technique minimized the debt to be included, while leaving
a meaningful
amount of debt to be assumed by the new company. If the
bidders had been allowed
to suggest, as part of their bids, the amount of debt that they
would be willing to
assume, an aggressive bidder would have taken on as much
debt as possible (and
minimized his equity contribution). Fixing the amount of debt
any
assume discouraged such behavior. All the bidders were thereby bidder had to
given the same pro
forma balance sheet for the SAM; all agreed to assume the same
amount of debt.
Because it created a natural constraint on the bidding process,
this approach
discouraged bidders from creating the impression of a higher
bid by simply agreeing
to assume more debt.
At the same time, it would have been politically difficult to
allow the bidder to
begin with a completely "clean" balance sheet. Therefore, the
transfer of a low level of
debt that was supportable by the economics of the business
was a judicious
compromise. Because the people of Bolivia would be partners
in the new company,
the Government had to be concerned about the financial success
of the new
enterprise.
2. Disposition of Excess Real Estate
Relative to the disposition of excess real estate, the Government
decided that
all non-operating property, including real estate that could
be developed, should
remain in what we will call "ENFE Residual." This decision
was very important from a
strategic perspective, because otherwise the bidding process
would have been
distorted by the presence of bidders whose principal objective
was real estate
speculation rather than railway operations.
5
Proceeds from the orderly liquidation of this property will be used to fund
employee separations and repay that part of the external debt that was not
transferred to the SAMs. ENFE thereby would become a "liquidating trust," much like
the Railways Corporation in New Zealand or the Japan National Railways Settlement
Corporation, both of which were established for the same purpose.
3. Tariff and Subsidy Policy
Although the Government of Bolivia has not determined the exact outline of its
tariff policy, it has developed a plan for the gradual elimination of subsidies over a
five-year period. Tariff regulation is contemplated only where there is an absence of
effective competition.
We believe that it is very important to prepare a schedule for the gradual
elimination of subsidies. If all the bidders respond to the same schedule, it is easier
for the government to evaluate the bids. This technique is preferable to having each
bidder state his minimum required subsidy, or his own schedule for the elimination of
the subsidy. It reduces the possibility that bidders will propose a low required
subsidy in order to win the concession, and then threaten to discontinue railroad
operations if no additional subsidy is forthcoming.
In Bolivia, the government subsidy will be gradually replaced by a "subsidy"
created by the increased efficiency of the new operator. On the Oriental (the eastern
network that connects with Brazil), the old tariff, which was also the maximum tariff,
will be reduced by a "compulsory efficiency adjustment" of 7.5% each year as the
subsidy is gradually eliminated. On the Andina (the western network that connects
with Chile), where effective competition exists, there will be no compulsory efficiency
adjustment and no regulation of tariffs.
The fixed subsidy (on the Oriental) that existed before the capitalization acted
as a disincentive for ENFE to become more efficient, as well as a disincentive to the
development of a parallel road as an alternative mode of transportation. Tariffs for
soybeans had risen to a high level despite the subsidy. ENFE claimed that without
the subsidy, the transport of soybeans was uneconomical; at the same time, the
shippers said the subsidy was necessary to protect them from monopolistic pricing by
the railroad. The result was an excessive tariff for exactly the kind of traffic that the
railroad should have hauled most efficiently.
Under the new approach, protection against monopoly abuses on the Oriental
is accomplished by the yearly reduction in tariffs, and efficiency is promoted by the
eventual elimination of the subsidy. If the rate reductions had been more aggressive,
however, the soybean producers would not press for the completion of the new road
between Santa Cruz and Brazil. Now the railroad must become more efficient in order
to meet the actual or potential competition of the highway. Once the highway is built,
tariff limitations will no longer be necessary, because the highway will impose a
natural limit on how high those tariffs can be set.

4. The Regulatory Mechanism for the Railway
Sector
The regulatory model (including tariff
Bolivia. However, we know that most railroadregulation) has not yet been finalized in
regulation takes two fundamental
forms: the economic regulatory function
(analogous to that of the former Interstate
Commerce Commission in the United States),
and the safety function (analogous to
that of the Federal Railway Administration
in the United States).
In Bolivia, the gradual elimination of subsidies
will be closely related to the
development of a system of tariff regulation
that will accomplish two important
objectives: tariffs that assure the economic
viability of the new railroad companies,
and the protection of shippers from monopoly
abuses. Where there is effective
competition, the market will determine tariffs,
and the Government will not be
involved in determining the reasonableness
of rates.
Ultimately, we know that unless the Bolivian
railroads are allowed to set rates
based on economic forces, they will be unable
to
attract
sufficient capital to survive as
private enterprises. At the same time, the
system of regulation must ensure that
captive shippers are protected from the
effects of monopoly. The mechanism must
determine when rates applicable to such
"captive" commodities exceed a reasonable
level, consistent with the goal of providing
an
railway. The result should be a set of prices adequate return to the operator of the

We recommended that the regulatory mechanism

be similar to those in the United States,
where, based on public convenience and
necessity, the government permits the
termination of service after balancing the
needs of shippers and communities against
the burden on the rail carrier from continued
operation of the line in question.
We also recommended that maintenance

Habituellement, les realites politiques forment
le facteur de decision.
1. Le Traitement des Dettes de 1'ENFE
En ce qui conceme les dettes du Chemin de Fer
de l'Etat, nous avons oeuvre de facon a
reduire au minimum la dette qui devrait etre assumee
par la nouvelle compagnie. Ceci a e le
meilleur choix pour deux raisons: (1) le plus le
montant de la dette du SAM apres la
capitalisation, le moins l'investisseur auraient voulu
investir, et (2) une grosse partie des dettes
existantes de 1'ENFE correspondait Ades projets
qu'une operation commerciale du chemin de fer
n'aurait pas pu supporter. De plus, combler l'ancienne
dette aurait diminue le capital du SAM
s'opposant ainsi a l'intention de capitalisation qui
etait d'augmenter le capital plut6t que de le
diminuer.
Nous avons decide d'inclure dans le premier bilan
seulement la partie de la dette externe
directement en relation avec les biens operationnels
hors infrastructure, c'est-A-dire, locomotives,
wagons, et l'equipement. Les biens d'infrastructure
n'ont pas ete inclus dans le premier bilan de
la nouvelle compagnie, alors que le droit d'utilisation
de cette infrastructure a ete accordee sous
une concession Along terme. Les biens d'infrastructure
inclussent le terrain, les voies et leurs
structures, ainsi que les batiments comprenant
gares et ateliers.
Cette technique a minimise la dette Ainclure, tout
en laissant un montant consequent de la
dette a la charge de la nouvelle societe. Si les encherisseurs
avaient ete autorises Asuggerer le
montant de la dette qu'ils voulaient prendre en
charge, un encherisseur agressif aurait suggerer
le
plus gros montant possible (en minimisant ainsi
sa contribution d'equite). En fixant le montant
de la dette a prendre en charge par tout encherisseur,
un tel comportement a ete evite. Tous les
encherisseurs ont donc fourni le meme bilanproforma
pour le SAM, tous d'accord pour
supporter la meme charge de dettes. Parce que
cela Acr6e une contrainte naturelle sur le
processus d'encherissement, cette approche a decourage
les encherisseurs de creer l'impression
de hautes encheres en acceptant de supporter plus
de dettes.
En meme temps, il aurait ete politiquement difficile
d'autoriser un encherisseur A
commencer avec un bilan compltement propre.
C'est pourquoi le transfert d'une dette de bas

de l'entreprise a ete un bon compromis. Parce
que

4. Le Mecanisme de Regulation Pour le Secteur Ferroviaire
Le modele regulateur (comprenant la regulation des tarifs) n'est pas encore
finalise en
Bolivie. Par contre, nous savons que la plupart des regulations ferroviaires
prennent deux formes
fondamentales: la fonction de regulation economique (analogue a celle de l'ancienne
<<Interstate
Commerce Commission >>aux Etats-Unis) ; et la fonction de securite (analogue
a celle de la <<
Federal Railway Administration >>aux Etats-Unis).
En Bolivie, l'elimination progressive des subventions sera liee etroitement
au
developpement d'un systeme de regulation des tarifs qui aboutir a deux
objectives importantes:
les tarifs qui assure la viabilite economique des nouvelles compagnies
ferroviaires, et la
protection des affreteurs contre les abus d'un monopole. La ofi il y a la
veritable competition, le
marche determinera les tarifs, et le Gouvernement n'aura pas a s'engager
dans un choix
raisonnable de tarifs.
Finalement, nous savons qu'a moins que les chemins de fer boliviens
soient autorises a
definir les tarifs base sur les forces economiques, ils seront incapables d'attirer
un capital
suffisant pour survivre en tant qu'entreprise privee. En meme temps, le
systeme de regulation
doit assurer que les affreteurs qui n'ont qu'un seul moyen de transport
a leur disposition (les
<<affreteurs captives >>) sont bien proteges contre les effets d'un monopole.
Le mecanisme doit
determiner quand les imp6ts locaux applicables de telles commodites <<

niveau raisonnable, compatible avec le but de fournir un benefice convenable
a l'operateur du
reseau ferroviaire. Le resultat devrait etre une s6rie des prix combinant
les prix du base du
marche avec ceux qui sont sujets a certaines astreintes de regulation.
Deux autres problemes reguliers frequemment abordes dans nos discussions
avec les
investisseurs potentiels: les standards pour le maintenance des voies ferrees
et les abandons.
Nous avons recommande que le mecanisme regulateur inclue les conditions
bien
articulees pour l'abandon ou la discontinuite des operations. La nouvelle
agence regulatrice
bolivienne, en abordant une decision, devrait peser de tels facteurs face
a la rentabilite de la
ligne, la depense d'une operation continue, la vraisemblance de rentabilite

d'une alternative de transport, et l'etendue des nuisances aux communautes

Nous recommandons egalement que les standards de maintenance soient lies au niveau de

wagons, d'autre part devraient avoir des standards de maintenance et de securite absolus sans
rapport avec la vitesse de la voie ferree ou la justification economique.
5.
Les Questions du Travail
Finalement, les questions de travail, comprenant les indemnites de rupture et les droits de
travail auxquels les travailleurs sont attaches, sont habituellement les aspects les plus
controverses du transfert d'un chemin de fer du secteur public au secteur prive. La solution la
plus simple est de recommander que le nombre des travailleurs retenus doit etre une question
decidee par l'encherisseur.
Nous savons qu'un chemin de fer doit avoir le plus petit main d'oeuvre que possible afin
d'assurer sa viabilite economique ; idealement, l'encherisseur doit avoir le droit de determiner le
nombre des travailleurs necessaires. En accord avec cette consideration, le personnel superflu
doit devenir la responsabilite du Gouvemement, qui serait alors responsable pour tous manques
de travail relevant de cette transaction.
En Bolivie, le Gouvemement a choisit cette position. I1 a demande Ace que les
encherisseurs precisent ce qu'ils estiment etre un nombre raisonnable des travailleurs necessaires
pour une operation efficace. Un niveau <<exige >>a e enfin determine base sur un melange de
ces previsions. Les travailleurs qui n'etaient pas demandes par les nouveaux SAMs sont restes

IV. CONCLUSION
Au cours de cette presentation, je vous ai presente un resume de quelques questions
significatives auxquelles nous avons et confrontes en Bolivie. Quelques-unes, notamment A
propos du systeme de regulation, n'ont pas encore ete finalises; bien que le programme de
capitalisation soit solide, il n'a pas encore ete completement epreuve. J'ai parle de la technique
de <<capitalisation >>et comment elle se differencie d'une privatisation conventionnelle. J'ai
egalement decrit aussi certains modeles alternatifs pour la privatisation ferroviaire, incluant le
modele traditionnel de la concession.

significatives. D'abord, elle a dejA mis en cruvre, avec succes, un nouveau modele pour

significative, elle

est un preuve non seulement de l'integrite du modele, mais aussi de la volonte du

The primary goal of concessioning
rail transport is to increase efficiency.
This happens when the railway op-
erator manages the operations in a
solidly commercial way, adapted to
the needs of the market.
Concessioning also clearly defines
relationships between the state and
the rail operator and, in particular,
prevents the state from mismanaging day-to-day railway operations,
which is often at the root of railway
corporations' problems. Whatever

"Rules of the Game"
The concession's mechanisms are
defined by the concession agreement,
a contract signed between the state
and the concessionaire. The principal mechanisms cover the scope of
the concession, the regulatory framework for rail activity, the management of railway infrastructure and
the locomotives and railway wagons,
the concessionaire's staff, the concession fee, the tax scheme applicable
to rail activity, the duration of the
concession, and the monitoring of

centuries, many railroads were built and operated by
private enterprises under a concessioning scheme,
most notably in Europe, Latin America and North Africa. Beginning inthe 1930s, this railway management
method gave way, for the most part, to state management, generally through national corporations. Today,
State management is the rule in almost all the railroads
of Sub-Saharan Africa. While in the past few years
many railroads in developing countries have suffered
through a major crisis, private sector operation of rail
activity in a concessioning framework now appears to
be a promising method for restructuring, thus permitting railroads to be converted to commercial enter-
prises. The formula was first used in the early 1990s
in Argentina, where the existing rail network was re-

framework for railway activity must encourage
concessionaire to adopt commercial behavior as well
as encourage competition with other transport modes.
Since railway activity is essentially commercial, operated in a competitive and deregulated environment,
the concessionaire must be free to set configuration,
fix public tariffs, and negotiate individual contracts
with large freight forwarders. At the request of the
state, or locality, the concessionaire might also be
required to run certain operations as a public service,
particularly those for local, rural, or sub-urban passenger transport. These operations should be conducted under specific agreements signed with the state
or locality, with the concessionaire receiving compensation for deficits incurred while carrying out the

concessionaire, without state intervention; however,
the state should maintain the right to lay first claim on
equipment sold by the concessionaire, particularly during the last years of the concession.

carry out adequate policy on investments, staffing, and
marketing. However, the state should also be wary of
choosing too long a concession, which could reduce the
concessionaire's incentive to remain competitive. These
two contradictory needs can be reconciled by adopting
a "rolling" concession, of an initial 20 years or so, which

and regulations (work code, collective agreements) applicable to private sector companies and be affiliated with
the private sector's health insurance and retirement
funds. The special status which railway workers in many
railway corporations enjoy (often like that of civil servants) cannot be preserved. When a railway corporation is handicapped by redundant staff, as is often the
case, the concessionaire cannot be required to hire all
the existing staff. At the start of the concession, the concessionaire selects the employees whom it wishes to hire
from among the staff of the railway corporation. The
state bears responsibility for severance programs and
for training and re-employment for personnel not hired
by the concessionaire. The state will also have to deal
with questions of rail workers previously covered by
special social benefit plans (special fund for the railway
The state's monitoring of the concession should not interfere with the management of the concessionaire's
company. In practice, monitoring should apply to the
safety of rail operations and environmental protection.
The concessionaire should send the state information
on its activity in documents whose content and issuing
are clearly specified in the concession agreement. An
annual audit of the concession, exploring the conditions
in which the mechanisms called for in the agreement
are applied, should be carried out by an independent
auditor. Finally, litigation concerning the concession
agreement should be handled through arbitration, preferably, for example, according to the arbitration rules
of the International Chamber of Commerce.
corporation, civil servants' funds).
Choosing the Concessionaire
Concessionfees. In exchange for the use of rail infrastructure and the right to operate rail services, the concessionaire will pay the state a concession fee. This fee can
be either a fixed annual sum, which could vary from
year to year, and be indexed to inflation, or established
according to the physical volume of rail traffic; or, it
can be set as a percentage of the concessionaire's receipts.
In addition to this fee, the concessionaire pays rent to
the state on rolling stock, as well as specific annuities
owed on any investments the state has made in infrastructure upgrading and expansion.
Once the rules have been defined to promote the business-like management of rail transport, in healths competition with other transport modes, the concessionaire
must be carefully chosen.
To be effective, the concessioning company must possess strong leadership which is committed to the idea
that rail transport management be on commercial
grounds, and is commited to implementing this approach. This requirement will be met by having a strategic investor within the concession corporation who
holds a majority on the board of directors and designates the company's general manager. The strategic investor must hold a significant - not necessarily a majority - share of the company's capital. International
competitive bidding to choose the strategic investor is
strongly recommended; this guarantees the transparency
of the selection and, if done properly, yields the most
favorable proposals. Choosing the strategic investor by
direct negotiation would be acceptable only in very special cases, such as when the concession is awarded to an
almost exclusive user of the railroad.
Taxation. The tax scheme applicable to the concessionaire must be the common law applicable to private corporations in the transport sector. In the concession agreement, the state must guarantee that it will not impose
any special taxes which might introduce distortions into
competition between the railway and other transporters. Since the concessionaire will bear the expense of
maintaining, upgrading, and developing railway infrastructure, petroleum products used in locomotives and
other engine cars should be exempted from the portion
of the fuel tax collected by the state as user costs for
road infrastructure.
The concession corporation's shares, other than those
held by the strategic investor, would be acquired accordDuration of the concession. The concession should last ing to mechanisms defined by local capital market conlong enough to allow the concessionaire to form and ditions. When a stock exchange exists locally, listing the
4 1
stock on the stock exchange (following, if necessary, a
period of stock carrying either by the strategic investor
or by other organizations) is one way of fulfilling the
company's equity subscription. The concession
corporation's staff can also enjoy privileged conditions
for acquiring shares of the capital. At first glance it may
seem inadvisable for the state to acquire capital in the
concession corporation; but this isacceptable if its share
is a minority one and its stock does not form part of
that of the strategic investor. State shareholding should
also be planned so as not to open the door to meddling
in the company's management. In fact, if public minority shareholding in the concession company's capital
becomes necessary, the shares should be held by a public establishment which has a direct interest in the
smooth running of railway operations, such as, for example, a port enterprise.

* In a final selection phase, the candidates chosen after
the second phase will be invited to make an offer of
their proposed concession fees, based on the concession
agreement details as finalized by state decree. The candidate with the highest offer will then be selected as strategic investor for the concession company.
Ideally, this bidding process should take about twelve
months. Four to six additional months would be required for the concessionaire to prepare the railway's
operational start-up (creation of a corporation, employee
selection, etc.).
The state must set up a structure for liquidating the
former public railway corporation (this could be the
public railway corporation itself). The liquidation structure will carry out a staff redeployment and reduction

Les regles du jeu de I'activite ferroviaire
dans un regime de concession

Les mecamismes de

deglaconessionjeu
Lcnstmtuenismes
constituent les "regles du jeu" de l'activite
ferroviaire - sont d6finis par la convention de
concession, document contractuel signe entre
l'Etat et le concessionnaire. Les principaux
mecanismes concernent le champ de la
concession, le cadre reglementaire de l'activit6
ferro'%riaire,
la gestion des infrastructures
ferroxiaire,sIa estio des irteructresq,tatique
ferroviaires et du materiel moteur et remorque,
le personnel du concessionnaire, la redevance de
concession, la fiscalit6 applicable Al'activite
ferroviaire, la dur6e de la concession et le
contr6le de la concession par l'Etat et l'arbitrage
des conflits entre l'Etat et le concessionnaire.
A la fin du XIXe siecle et au debut du XXe siecle,
de nombreux chemins de fer ont 6te construits et
exploit6s par des entreprises privees, sous le
r6gime de la concession, notamment en Europe,
en Amerique latine et au Maghreb. Ce mode de
gestion de l'activit6 ferroviaire a dans la plupart
des cas c6de la place, A partir des annees 30, A
une gestion par l'Etat, en general par
l'interm6diaire de soci&es nationales. La gestion
est en particulier la regle aujourd'hui
pour la quasi-totalite des chemins de fer d'Afrique
sub-saharienne. Alors que de nombreux chemins
de fer dans les pays en voie de developpement
connaissent depuis plusieurs annees une crise
profonde, l'exploitation de l'activite ferroviaire
par le secteur prive, dans le cadre d'une
concession, apparait aujourd'hui comme une
modalit6 prometteuse de restructuration
permettant de transformer ces chemins de fer en
entreprises commerciales. La formule a 6te pour
la premiere fois mise en oeuvre, au debut de la
d6cennie 90, en Argentine, oui le reseau ferroviaire
existant a et6 restructure en six chemins de fer
marchandises et trois groupements de chemins
de fer de banlieue, tous mis en concession. En
Afrique sub-saharienne, les Etats de C6te d'Ivoire
et du Burkina ont conjointement sign6 en
Decembre 1994 une convention de concession
d'exploitation du chemin de fer Abidjan/
Ouagadougou/Kaya avec l'entreprise priv6e

.
'
de la gestion des services de transport (qui serait
effectuee par le concessionnaire) de la gestion
des infrastructures (qui serait effectuee par un
organisme public distinct) ne constituerait pas
une solution adequate dans les chernins de fer
consideres. Par contre, il pourrait dans certains
cas s'averer opportun de confier l'exploitation
des services de transport ferroviaire voyageurs AL
un operateur distinct du concessionnaire;
l'operateur voyageurs ferait alors circuler,
movennant peage, ses trains sur les infrastructures gerees par le concessionnaire.
* Cadre rgglerentaire de I'activit6fermoviaire. Le cadre reglementaire de l'activit6 ferroviaire - qui doit etre
entierement defini dans la convention de concession - doit encourager le concessionnaire Aadopter une
comportement commercial et etre incitatif Ala concurrence avec les autres modes de transport. L'essentiel de
l'activit6 ferroviaire correspond aux services de transport Acaractere commercial, qui scront exploit6s dans un
cnvironnement concurrentiel et d6reglement6; le concessionnaire devra avoir toute liberte d'en d6finir la

configuration, d'en fLxer les tarifs publics et de n6gocier
des contrats particuliers avec les chargeurs importants.
Le concessionnaire pourrait 6galement etre amen6 a
exploiter certains services a titre d'obligation de service
public, a la demande expresse de l'Etat (ou,
6ventuellement, des collectivit6s locales), en particulier
dans le domaine des transports %'ovageurs locaux,
rurautx ou suburbains; ces sernices devraient etre
exploit6s par le concessionnaire dans le cadre de
conventions particulieres sign6es avec l'Etat ou les
collectiNit6s locales, avec versement au concessionnaire
de contributions pour obligation de service public
compensant les d6ficits encourus du fait de l'activite.
Dans les memes conditions, I'Etat compenserait
financierement le concessionnaire pour les autres
obligations de service public qu'il pourrait lui imposer,
par exemple dans le domaine des r6ductions tarifaires
au profit de certains clients, ou de maintien en service
d'infrastructures pour les besoins de la defense
nationale. A titre de dissuasion, afin de pr6venir tout
risque soit d'abus tarifaire par le concessionnaire sur
les segments du marche sur lesquels le chemin de fer
disposerait d'une position de monopole ou d'une
position dominante, soit de cartellisation de l'activit6
fcrroviaire, la convention de concession devrait ouvrir la
possibilit6 pour d'autres op6rateurs d'exploiter des
services ferroviaires sur les infrastructures ger6es par le
concessionnaire, a l'issue d'une p6riode d'exclusivit6
d'exploitation accord6e au concessionnaire pour
quclques ann6es en debut de concession. Les tiers
op6rateurs 6ventuels, que l'Etat agr6erait apres avoir
cntendu le concessionnaire, utiliseraient les
infrastructures, sur des bases non discriminatoires,
moyennant paiement d'un peage au concessionnaire.
* Gestion des infrastrucwuresferro%iaires.Les
infrastructures ferroviaires, dont la propri6te est
conscrv6e par I'Etat, seront ger6es et entretenues sous
la rcsponsabilite unique et a la charge du
conccssionnaire; les standards et les methodes
d'entretien m6ritent d'etre librement arret6s par le
conecssionnaire, sous r6serve que la securite des
circulations ferroviaires soit assuree a un niveau
acceptable compte tenu de la nature des services
exploit6s. En matiere de renouvellement et
d'am6nagement des infrastructures, l'initiative, la
d6finition et la maitrise d'ocuvre des programmes sont
6galement a confier au concessionnaire. Le
fiinancement des investissements de renouvellement et
I 3
d'amenagement devrait, de pr6ference, etre assure
directement par le concessionnaire. Toutefois, cette
formule peut ne pas toujours s'av6rer faisable; les
capacit6s d'endettement du concessionnaire pourront
etre limit6es, et les credits commerciaux auxquels il
aura acces pourront assez frequemment s'averer
inadequats, en particulier en ce qui concerne leur
duree, a financer les investissements en infrastructure.
La mobilisation du financement de ces investissements
par l'Etat constituerait alors une formule acceptable,
pourvu que le concessionnaire en supporte le cofit, par
versement a l'Etat d'annuites specifiques permettant
d'assurer l'amortissement et la remun6ration du capital
investi par l'Etat.
*
Gestion du niate1riel nteur et renwrque. Le
concessionnaire devra etre entierement responsabilise
pour ce qui concerne la definition du nombre, des
caracteristiques et de l'origine des locomotives, wagons
marchandises, voitures v,oyageurs et autres mat6riels
ferroviaires; il pourra choisir entre l'acquisition, la
location ou le leasing des mat6riels. Parmi les
mat6riels existant en d6but de concession, le
concessionnaire selectionnera les materiels necessaires
a son exploitation; ces mat6riels seront soit achetes,
soit, le plus g6neralement, lou6s par le concessionnaire
aupres de l'Etat, dans des conditions commerciales.
Le principal objectif de la
mise en concession de
I'activite ferroviaire est
d'accroitre 1'efficacitL des
transports ferroviaires
Les materiels nouNeaux, necessaires au titre du
renouvellement ou du d6veloppement de l'activite en
cours de concession, seront acquis directement par
le concessionnaire ou loues par lui. au choix du
concessionnaire, sans intervention de l'Etat;
toutefois, l'Etat devrait conserver un droit de
preemption sur la vente des materiels appartenant au
concessionnaire, particulierement pendant les
dernieres ann6es de la concession.

I
. Personntel du concessionnaire. Afin de permettre au
concessionnaire de mettre en oeuvre une gestion
efficace de l'activite, il est indispensable que son
personnel soit regi par la legislation et la
reglementation du travail applicable aux entreprises du
secteur priN'6 (Code du travail, conventions collectives)
et soit affilie au regime de securite sociale maladie et
retraites du secteur prive. Le statut particulier,
souvent inspire du statut de la Fonction publique, dont
beneficient actuellement les cheminots dans de
nombreuses entreprises ferroviaires, ne pourra ainsi pas
etre conserv7. Dans une situation oiu l'entreprise
ferroviaire est souvent handicap6e par d'importants
sureffectifs, il ne peut etre impose au concessionnaire
de reprendre la totalite des effectifs des personnels
existants. En debut de concession, le concessionnaire
selectionnera librement les personnels qu'il reprendra
parmi les personnels de 1'entreprise ferroviaire. LEtat
fera son affaire de la mise en oeuvre et du financement
du programme de redeploiement et de reduction des
personnels non repris par le concessionnaire. LEtat
aura aussi a traiter les questions relatives aux retraites
des cheminots anterieurement affilies aux r6gimes
particuliers de securite sociale (Caisse particuliere de
l'entreprise ferroNiaire, Caisse des fonctionnaires).
L'essentiel de l'activite ferroviaire
correspond aux services de transport
a caractere commercial
* Redevance de concession. En contrepartie de la
mise a sa disposition des infrastructures ferroviaires
existantes et du droit d'exploiter les services
ferroviaires, le concessionnaire versera a l'Etat une
redevance de concession. Cette redevance pourra soit
rck-6tir la forme d'un montant forfaitaire annuel,
cventuellement variable d'une annee a I'autre, et
index6 sur l'inflation, soit etre d6terminee en fonction
du volume physique du trafic ferroviaire, soit enfin etre
fix6e comme un pourcentage des recettes du
concessionnaire. A cette redevance s'ajoutera le
paiement par le concessionnaire des lovers des
Africa Transpart
mat6riels roulants loues aupres de l'Etat, ainsi que des
annuites specifiques dues au titre des eventuels
investissements de renouvellement et d'amenagement
des infrastructures finances par l'Etat.
. Fiscalite. Le regime fiscal applicable au
concessionnaire doit etre le regime de droit commun
applicable aux entreprises privees du secteur des
transports. LEtat doit s'engager dans la convention de
concession a ne pas imposer de taxes specifiques a
l'activite ferroviaire qui pourraient introduire des
distorsions en matiere de concurrence entre le chemin
de fer et les autres transporteurs. Le concessionnaire
supportant, selon les mecanismes decrits ci-dessus, les
charges d'entretien, de renouvellement et
d'am6nagement des infrastructures ferroviaires, les
produits petroliers utilises dans les locomotives et
autres engins sur rail devraient etre exempt6s de la
fraction de la taxe sur les carburants per,ue par l'Etat
en contrepartie des cofits d'utilisation des
infrastructures routieres.
* Duree de la concession. La concession devrait avoir
une duree suffisamment longue pour permettre au
concessionnaire de concevoir et mettre en oeuvre une
politique adequate dans le domaine des
investissements, du personnel, du marketing.
Toutefois, l'Etat pourrait etre reticent a l'egard d'une
concession trop longue, qui pourrait par ailleurs etre
moins incitative a la recherche de la competitivite par
le concessionnaire. Une bonne solution pour concilier
ces imperatifs contradictoires est d'adopter une
concession "glissante", d'une duree initiale d'environ
20 ans, et qui peut etre prolongee d'accord parties, a
l'issue de chaque periode quinquennale, pour des
periodes successives de cinq ann6es.
. Contr6le de la concession par l'Etat et arbitrage.
Le contr6le de la concession par l'Etat doit etre concu
de maniere a eviter toute interference de l'Etat dans la
gestion de la societe concessionnaire. Dans la pratique,
le contr6le devrait concerner essentiellement la
securite des operations ferroNiaires et la protection de
l'environnement. Le concessionnaire devrait
transmettre a l'Etat des informations sur son activite
par l'interm6diaire de documents dont le contenu et la
periodicite seront definis avec precision dans la
convention dc concession. Un audit annuel de la
concession, examinant les conditions dans lesquels sont
Technical Notes
appliques les micanismes prevus a la convention,
dc%Tait etre effcctu6 par un auditeur ind6pendant.
Enfin. les litiges relatifs a la convention de concession
dovraient. de pr6f6rencc, etre resolus par voie
d'arbi\trage, par exemple selon les regles d'arbitrage de
la Chambre de commerce internationale.
Comment choisir le concessionnaire?
Les regles du jeu 6tant d6finies de maniere A
promouvoir une gestion commerciale de l'activite
ferromiaire, en concurrence active et saine avec les
autres modes et entreprises de transport, le succes de
la concession implique que ... le concessionnaire soit
bien choisi.
Pour ere efficace. Ia societe concessionnaire doit etre
dotee d'une direction forte, entierement acquise a
lid6e d'une gestion commerciale de l'activite
ferro%iaire et disposant des movens pour mettre en
oeuvre sa politique. Cette e.xigence sera satisfaite par
la presence, au sein de la soci6te concessionnaire, d'un
actionnaire "de r6f6rence", qui d6tiendra la majorite au
Conseil d'administration et designera le Directeur
general de la soci6te. L'actionnaire de ref6rence devra
a cet effet d6tenir une part significative dventuellement, mais pas obligatoirement, majoritaire
- du capital de la societe. Lappel a la concurrence
internationale pour le choix de l'actionnaire de
reference est fortement recommande; une telle formule
est garante de la transparence du processus et permet,
si elle est bien conduite, d'obtenir les propositions les
plus int6ressantes. Le choix de l'actionnaire de
ref6rence par n6gociation directe ne serait acceptable
que dans des cas tres particuliers, lorsque notamment
la concession serait octroyee A un utilisateur quasiexclusif du chemin de for.
Les actions de la societe concessionnaire autres que
celles ddtenues par l'actionnaire de ref6rence seraient
souscrites selon des mecanismes a definir en fonction
des conditions locales du marche des capitaux.
Lorsqu'il existe localement une Bourse des valeurs, le
placement des actions en bourse - a l'issue, le cas
cchCant, d'une periode do portage des actions soit par
l'actionnaire de r6ference, soit par d'autres organismes
- constitucra tine des modalites ad6quates de
souscription du capital do la soci6t6. Le personnel de
la socikt6 concessionnairo pourrait par ailleurs
b6n6ficicr do conditions prihil6gi6es d'acquisition
15
d'actions pour une fraction du capital. La participation
de l'Etat au capital de la societe concessionnaire ne
semble a priori guere souhaitable; toutefois, dans le cas
oii l'Etat l'estimerait indispensable, cette participation
serait acceptable si, minoritaire, elle s'effectuait en
dehors de l'actionnariat de reference et etait con,ue de
maniere Ane pas ouvrir la porte A l'ingerence de l'Etat
dans la gestion de l'entreprise. En fait, si une
participation publique minoritaire au capital de la
societe concessionnaire est jugee n6cessaire, il
semblerait plus judicieux que cette participation
s'effectue par l'intermediaire d'etablissements publics A
caractere 6conomique int6resses directement au bon
fonctionnement de l'activite ferroviaire, par exeemple
une entreprise portuaire.
Pour etre efficace, la societe
concessionnaire doit 6tre
dot6e d'une direction forte
Dans tous les cas, la participation importante
d'actionnaires veaux prives auans le capital de la socide
concessionnaire, y compris au sein de l'actionnariat de
reference, merite d'etre encouragne. Un pourcentage
minimal de partiipation d'actionnaires prives locaux
dans l'actionnariat de ref6rence pourrait en particulier,
le cas 6cheant, etre impose aux candidats.
L
es experiences recentes de chos' d'actionnaires de
reference de societes concessionnaires, tant dans le
domaine ferroviaire que dans celui de secteurs plus ou
momis semblables (eau, energie
flectrique,
t6necommunications) et les diffncultes rencontrees
amenentA recommander l'adoption d'une proc6dure
d'appel a la concurrence internationale en trois etapes.

Les candidats pre-qualifies recevront un dossier de

seront inmit&s a presenter un projet de Plan d'entreprise

Ces elements seront discut6s
entre l'Etat et les candidats.
