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. supha B.

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. Session 1 i iI t SEMINAIRE SUR LA MISE EN CONCESSION DES CHEMINS DE FER EN AFRIQUE (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. .. ./... 4 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. 5 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.

Session 2 i i I i I i i i i i I i 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. 4 Insert Table 1 here Latin America 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 3 here 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 8 was reflected in the to reach the most efficient levels of employment.

As Table 1 suggests, even if only the minimum projections higher that growth and manpower reductions, the starting point in Brazil is sufficiently results in Brazil should easily equal or significantly exceed those in Argentina. 9 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. Insert Figure 6 here two As is universal in state-owned railways, there was substantial overstaffing on the that national railways. During negotiations on the terms of the concession it was agreed select to free was SITARAIL would take on 1,815 of the 3,470 employees, and that it staff. these 1,815. The governments then made severance payments to the redundant attention Figure 6 shows that combining traffic growth with staff reductions and renewed to equipment utilization has produced a significant turnabout in productivity. Insert Figure 7 here 13 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. Much that 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. *The authors acknowledge their debt to Nicola M.

RAILROAD DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION 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. This intermediate time period is extremely risky. During this period the existing administration is in a lame-duck status. The historic work flow and purchasing cycles however good or bad to come to a near stand still, generally accelerating deferred tend 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. 2. 7. Short term traffic goals must be realistic. that is don't expect immediate sweeping imDrovement without reasonable lead times. Frequently, at takeover time, the operation is of physical constraints. Capital programs take at capacity in terms and deliver results. In addition, the shipping time to implement must be sold" on the idea that the railroad canor traveling public reliable service. This implies a period of test supply long term public to build a base of customer satisfaction evaluations by the before significant commitments are made on the part of the shippers or passengers. 8. Labor issues must be addressed immediately. Labor must know the policies and man power requirements of the new operator. Failure to provide timely information misinformation. Once this occurs unfounded rumors will lead to can lead to polarized attitudes and potentially dangerous almost no acts of sabotage have occurred in theactions. To date privatization process in Latin America. Clear procedures must be established for employees that will matriculate to the new company as well as for current employees who will be subject to protective labor condition payments. 3. iI iI i 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, au sein de depuis 5 ans, et qui, a cet titre, conduit le Groupe des repreneurs a la mise en SITARAIL, de meme que nous nous interessons tout particulierement et, a un degr6 concession des chemins de fer du Cameroun (REGIFERCAM), chef de file), a celle du cgmoindre )) (c'est Ldire que nous ne pr6tendons pas etre processus amorc6s au reseau de I'OCTRA au Gabon, tandis que nous suivons les Congo (CFCO) et pour le Dakar/Bamako. ferroviaires que j'ai Des 4 types de partenaires prives interess6s aux concessions a la derniere repertories prec6demment, SAGA appartient, incontestablement, des cons6quent, par categorie, c'est-a-dire a celle des chargeurs et, ma de la promotion utilisateurs/clients. Je ne suis pas la, bien sur, pour faire d'une au travers societe mais seulement pour exposer notre approche, illustr6e de SITARAIL. Je celle premiere experience, abondamment cit6e dans ce seminaire, donn6es essentielles me contenterais donc de rappeler, rapidement, quelqioes puisque j'appartiens sur SAGA, partiellement transposables d'ailleurs a SDV, d'Exploltation des desormais a une filiale commune & ces 2 groupe, la Soci6t6 cependant largement Chemins de Fer Africains (SECAF), o'u nous sommes directe la oCu majoritaires, alors que, par ailleurs, SAGA et SDV sont en concurrence elles exercent les memes m6tiers. En effet, SAGA a pour principaux m6tiers de base: * d'une part, la commission de transport et le transit International; - shipping o ou de la * d'autre part, les services portuaires, ceux-ci allant du l'entreposage; fonction d'agence de ligne jusqu'& la manutention et a de surface (routiers, * enfin, la logistique au sens large ainsi que les transports ferroviaires et fluviaux). place d'excellence Sur chacun de ces creneaux, SAGA soefforce d'occuper une dont la presse a al6as sur les trafics nord/sud, en France, avec parfois quelques implantations rendu compte en son temps, comme en Afrique, oiu nos premibres est d6pendante, remontent A 1929. C'est dire, par cons6quent, & quel point SAGA l'ensemble du de et africains ports en particulier, de la bonne exploitation des tant pour y faire r6seau de transports terrestres qui permet de les Irriguer, et de matieres affluer le fret, essentiellement constituA de produits de base des armements premieres, destine a l'exportation et charge sur les naviresI'hinterland, et en maritimes que nous repr6sentons, que pour 6vacuer vers particulier les pays enclaves, les marchandises g6nerales importees. 2 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. SAGA, pr6sente dans tous les grands ports de l'Ouest africain ainsi que ceux d'Afrique Centrale tout en ayant des filiales tres actives dans les pays de l'int6rieur (Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Tchad, Centrafrique....) s'est ainsi retrouv6e confront6e & la carence des soci6t6s de chemins de fer, incapables d'acheminer l'ensemble du fret que nous manutentionnons dans les ports ou, alors dans des conditions inacceptables pour nos clients : d6lais prohibitifs, pertes ou vols de marchandises, d6gradations diverses...Mon role ici n'est pas d'analyser les causes diverses de ces dysfonctionnements ni meme des meilleurs moyens d'y rem6dier, ces sujets ayant d6ja ete trait6s par ailleurs. Par 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 la qualite des services offerts, et par consequent de laune r6elle am6lioration de satisfaction de nos clients, la mise en concession de certains r6seaux ferroviaires excellente opportunit strat6gique en nous permettant offrait a SAGA une l'ensemble des maillons de la chaine de transport, nous de mieux maftriser assurant de conforter a la fois 2 axes forts de notre strat6gie globale: d'une part, renforcer nos (4 filieres produits )) (bois, consistant a specialiser certaines filiales et certains cafe, cacao, coton...), ports a ces trafics tres sp6cifiques; 3 a bout )) visant a assurer * d'autre part, d6velopper une strategle de 4(bout traitement eventuel, l'ensemble des prestations de logistique (stockage,de garantir a nos clients acheminement, transport, manutention et livraison...) afin la qualite des prestations offertes. De ces choix, nous attendions, par consequent, a l'import comme a * d'abord, un accroissement de nos parts de march6s, le mode ferroviaire, et l'export, grace en particulier a la confiance retrouv6e dans a une plus grande satisfaction de nos clients et armateurs; sein des 6conomies * ensuite, un rentorcement de nos positions au partenaires majeurs, en nationales, oCu nous comptons nous affirmer comme particulier par l'importance des investissements consentis; plus a politiques ), dans la * enfin, sur les moyen et long termes, des retomb6es d'un service public ne mesure ou la reussite d'operations de mise en concession des Autorites et des peut que renforcer notre image de marque vis a vis principaux acteurs 6conomiques des Etats concernes. proposais d'etre bref et 6 - J'ai precise, en introduction de cet expose, que je me d'ajouter que, dans cette concret. Neanmoins, pour etre complet, je me dois approche: maximum de chargeurs, * nous souhaltons associer a notre entreprise le nous consid6rons, en fer: nationaux et Internatlonaux, de ces chemins de reprenant les propos de effet, qu'il n'est de meilleurs actionnaires (ou, du moins, que les clients de ces la CFD prononc6s ici meme hier, de moins mauvais...) de transparence de m6mes soci6t6s, la pluralit de ceux-ci 6tant synonyme la gestion et de dynamisme de l'exploitation; sur le d6veloppement du * dans ce but, nous fondons ainsi beaucoup daespoir les r6seaux multimodal : chacun sait qu'en particulier, en Afrique francophone, le interdisant achev6s, et6 ferroviaires des diffrents pays concern6s n'ont jamais alors, moins du que, ; maillage initialement pr6vu par la puissance colonisatrice du transport cet handicap Initial soit desormals source de d6veloppement choisies et multimodal en permettant, a partir de gares soigneusement desservir de nouveaux pr6alablement equipees de terminaux adaptes, de en cours ou en projet en territoires grace au transport combin6. Cela est deja au depart de FERKE CMte d'lvoire et au Burkina Faso, vers le Mali en particulier, nous entendons et de BOBO DIOULASSO, de meme qu'au Cameroun, a partir de Centrafrique la d6velopper les liaisons vers le Tchad et NGAOUNDERE et NGAOUNDAL; 4 * cette recherche d'alliances a, cependant, ses limites: prenant des risques financiers importants, que ce soit au travers des parts de capital des futures societ6s concessionnaires comme dans la souscription acqu6rir le mat6riel ferroviaire ou a r6habiliter celui-ci des emprunts destin6s a et les infrastructures fixes, nous entendons, en contrepartie, assumer la responsabilit6 entiere de la gestion des reseaux que nous nous proposons de reprendre, du moins ceux ou nous sommes parmi les premiers clients. Si j'ai dit precedemment que la reussite de ces operations ne pouvait qu'avoir d'heureuses consequences pour nos filiales implant6es sur place, la r6ciproque est tout aussi vraie: tout echec serait d6sastreux pour un Groupe implante en Afrique ans, dont il tire une large part de ses resultats, et depasserait depuis pres de 70 bien 6videmment le cadre des seuls Etats concern6s ; nous n'avons donc pas le droit & 1'erreur ! * nous entendons, d'ailleurs, tout autant associer suivi de 1'exploitation ferroviaire, sous la seule Etat(s) et Personnel au reserve que nous soit cependant garantie la libert6 de gestion commerciale, c'est-a-dire la libre definition du plan de transport, tout comme la liberte tarifaire, sans pour autant exclure, bien 6videmment, d'eventuelles obligations de service public, trait6es alors dans le cadre de conventions sp6cifiques. Dans ce dernier cas, il s'agira, le plus souvent, surtout Bien que cela ne corresponde pas aux m6tiers de basede transports de voyageurs. avons su montrer jusqu'alors que nous n'en r6cusions de SAGA, je crois que nous qu'il me paraisse difficile, en Afrique comme ailleurs, nullement le principe, bien d'y gagner beaucoup d'argent tandis que la qualite du service exige, aussi bien pour la voie que les gares et, a fortiori, le materiel roulant, en rench6rit singulierement les couts, d'autant que la couverture des risques exige, en outre, de solides assurances. 7 - Ayant ainsi, du moins je l'espere, explicite l'int6ret limites, de groupes tels que le notre pour ces mises en meme temps que ses en concession de reseaux ferroviaires ainsi que les principales regles que nous souhaitons lier a notre intervention dans de tels processus, je me propose maintenant de r6pondre a vos eventuelles questions. 5 de parole qui m'est Je souhaite, auparavant, cependant mettre a profit ce bref temps cher. En effet, nous alloue pour appeler votre attention sur un dernier point qui m'est sous la plume des entendons dire ici ou la, ou nous voyons dans la presse, est faite pour 6tre journalistes presentes comme autoris6s, qu'une c4convention permanent avec les ren6goci6e ),.

Anderson, CFA, ASA ANDERSON CONSULTING GROUP 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. 5. 6. 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. Brazil and The regional concession model -- such as that used in Argentina, although identified, be can Bolivia -- is one of at least nine privatization models that three into Divided there may be more or less depending on how they are classified. major categories, the models are as follows: A. Single Unit Transaction 1. 2. 3. 4. B. Subsystem Transaction 1. 2. C. Sale as a single unit, without a prior restructuring Concession as a single unit, without a prior restructuring Sale as a unit, preceded by restructuring Concession as a unit, preceded by restructuring Sale of regional subsystems Concession of regional subsystems Separation of Operations from Infrastructure 1. 2. 3. Grant of exclusive operating rights to the entire railway system Grant of non-exclusive operating rights ("open access") to the entire railway system Grant of exclusive or non-exclusive operating rights to designated portions of the national system of every Unfortunately, we don't have time to discuss the all the characteristics Two of the best model, but some examples may make them seem more familiar. option A-3, that is, known are Conrail and New Zealand Railways, both representing National Japanese "sale as a unit with prior restructuring." The privatization of the before, said as we Railways represents option B- 1, "sale of regional subsystems." And option B-2. Other Argentina, Brazil and Bolivia chose the regional concession model, within the variations using are useful examples include Sweden and Britain, which operations." from third general category, Category C, "separation of infrastructure as it has One of the major benefits of the regional concession model, at least investment by the been applied in Argentina, is that it requires the minimum prior transaction, the government before the privatization. Typically, in a subsystem capital agreed-upon makes railroad is not rehabilitated first. The concessionaire of the government the improvements as specified in the concession contract, relieving privatized. it is obligation to restore the physical condition of the railroad before immediately upon ceases losses operating of funding Furthermore, the government's (usually the the startup of operations by the concessionaire, although someone All of these workers. displaced for government) must take financial the responsibility to the attractive very model the make factors, except the worker severance benefits, govemment, helping to satisfy Criterion #3. 2 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 between transportation modes, not between railroads, except in the case of captive traffic that can only be moved by one mode. 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. 6 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 those that are subject to certain regulatory that combines market based prices with constraints. Two other regulatory issues frequently investors: standards for track maintenance, arose in our discussions with potential and abandonments. We recommended that the regulatory mechanism include well-articulated provisions for the abandonment or discontinuation of operations. The new Bolivian regulatory agency, in reaching a decision, should profitability of the line, the expense of continued balance such factors as the operation, the likelihood of future profitability, the availability of alternative transportation, and the extent of harm to local communities. These standards could 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 level of traffic on the line; this is best expressed standards should be related to the in terms of the maximum operating speed for the specific line. This would allow the because the operator would have an economic standards to be self-enforcing, interest in maintaining an economically important line at a high level. Conversely, he would not want to maintain a little used line at a high standard. Locomotives and rolling stock, on the other hand, should have absolute maintenance and safety standards unrelated to track speed or economic justification. 7 5. Labor Issues and job rights to which Finally, labor issues, including severance benefits aspects of the transfer of a workers are entitled, are usually the most controversial The simplest solution is to railroad from the government to the private sector. should be an economic issue recommend that the number of retained workers decided by the bidder. workforce as possible to insure We know that a railroad must have as small a have the right to determine the its economic viability; ideally, the bidder should this view, redundant personnel should number of workers needed. Consistent with which would be responsible for all labor become the responsibility of the Government, liabilities arising out of the transaction. view. It requested bidders to In Bolivia, the Government chose to take this of workers necessary for an efficient specify what they thought was a reasonable level based on a composite of those operation. A "required" level was then determinedremained with "ENFE residual," estimates. Workers not needed by the new SAMs employment or the payment of severance which will be responsible for their continued benefits. III. CONCLUSION overview of some of the During this presentation, I have given you an the regulatory system, have not significant issues we faced in Bolivia. Some, notablywhile fundamentally sound, has itself, yet been finalized; the capitalization program the technique of 'capitalization" and about talked not yet been fully tested.

It is clear from our experience that Bolivia has success, a new model for transferring First, it has already implemented, with some is well suited to capital-short state enterprises to the private sector. This model significant domestic opposition, it has countries like Bolivia. Second, in the face of traditional symbol of state sovereignty, completed the transfer to private control of a a politically difficult task has been the national railroad system. The fact that such of the model but to the accomplished is a testament not only to the integrity Government's resolve. 8 Seminaire de la Concession du Chemin de Fer en Afrique Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire le 13 - 14 octobre 1997 LA CAPITALISATION DU CHEMIN DE FER BOLIVIEN L'Experience de Privatisation en Bolivie Benjamin L. Anderson, CFA, ASA ANDERSON CONSULTING GROUP 90 Park Avenue, Suite 1700 New York,N.Y. 10016 USA Bonjour. Je m'appelle Ben Anderson et je suis le principal responsable de <<Anderson Consulting Group >>ANew York City. J'ai eu recemment le privilege de servir en tant que Conseiller Strategique au Gouvernement de Bolivie pour la capitalisation du Chemin de Fer de Bolivie, aussi connu sous le nom de <<ENFE >>. Le 14 decembre 1995, le Gouvemement de Bolivie a vendu aux encheres un interet de 50 % dans chacune des deux nouvelles compagnies crees Apartir de l'ENFE. Cruz Blanca est le candidat qui, avec la meilleure offre, a remporte ces interets pour les deux compagnies. Pendant ma presentation, je voudrais developper la technique de <<capitalisation >>et comment elle se differencie de la privatisation conventionnelle des chemins de fer, ainsi que du modele traditionnel de concession. Puis je me concentrerai sur certains problemes concernant la capitalisation de 1'ENFE (ou de toute autre privatisation d'un chemin de fer), et la maniere dont nous les avons resolu en Bolivie. I. LE CHOIX DU MODELE DE PRIVATISATION Il y a plusieurs manieres de privatiser un chemin de fer. Choisir la meilleure methode est de developper un ensemble de criteres pour selectionner le modele de privatisation. Le modele qui satisfait la plus grande partie de ces criteres, selon le contexte politique, social, et economique d'un pays, est celui qui devra etre choisit. Les criteres sont les suivants 1. l'acceptabilite politique; 2. l'interet des investisseurs pour le secteur prive; 3. l'interet du gouvemement; 4. les avantages disponibles du reseau pour le maintien de l'integrite du systeme national; 5. la somme realisee des benefices/avantages de privatisation; 6. le degre et la complexite des regulations exigees; et 7. la minimisation des obstacles legaux Ala privatisation. ceux utilise en Argentine, au Bresil, et en Le modele regional de concession -- tel que bien qu'il de privatisation qui peuvent etre identifies, modeles neuf moins d'au l'un est Bolivie dont ils sont classifies.

Tous gouvemement) doive prendre la responsabilite 2 facteurs, except6 les indemnites de rupture des travailleurs, font que le modele est tres attractif pour le gouvemement, tout en satisfaisant le critere #3. Si les travailleurs deplaces re9oivent des indemnites de rupture, l'acceptabilite politique de la privatisation est augmentee (satisfaisant le premier critere), et le fait que le gouvemement (pas le concessionnaire) puisse payer pour ces benefices aide Asatisfaire le critere #2 (l'int6ret des investisseurs). Le modele de concession regionale evite egalement d'autres problemes. Le manque de bon titre de propriete devient moins significative car tous les droits sauf le titre de propriete est transfere au concessionnaire. Cela nous aide Arealiser le critere #7, la minimisation des obstacles legaux. L'acceptabilite politique (qui reste le critere le plus important!) est de plus augmentee par le modele de concession regionale puisque l'accord de concession peut etre pr6sente au public en tant qu'etape temporaire (au lieu d'un vente irreversible) qui peut ou non aboutir Ala privatisation complete. Le gouvernement peut recuperer par la suite la propriete en cas d'expiration de la concession, ou apres infraction du contrat de concession par le concessionnaire. La preservation des avantages du reseau (critere #4) n'a pas ete un facteur significatif en Bolivie puisque le chemin de fer national etait dejA divis6 en deux systemes s6pares qui n'ont pas e connectes entre eux. D'ailleurs, plusieurs avantages d'un chemin de fer national integre peuvent etre preserves en faisant des provisions pour une cooperation volontaire (comme le cas des Etats-Unis avec « The Association of American Railroads >>) ou par la regulation. Par exemple, le Bresil developpe maintenant des mecanismes de cooperation volontaire afin d'integrer les operations de six concessions regionales. Les systemes regionaux multiples reduisent la quantite aussi bien que la complexite de la regulation exigee, qui nous aide Asatisfaire le critere # 6. Plusieurs concessions constituent une base pour juger l'equite des tarifs d'un chemin de fer face Aceux des autres, tout comme le phenomene de comparaison des tarifs entre les different foumisseurs d'electricite aux Etats-Unis. Pourtant, la comparaison la plus significative est celle concemant les modes de transport, autre que les chemins de fer, sauf dans le cas d'un monopole lorsque les affreteurs n'ont qu'un seul moyen de transport A leur disposition.

PROBLEMES RENCONTRES LORS DE LA CAPITALISATION lors de la capitalisation du Je voudrais developper cinq problemes significatifs rencontres Chemin de Fer Bolivien: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. la traitement des dettes de 1'ENFE; la disposition des exces d'immobilier de 1'ENFE; les subventions et les tarifs; le mecanisme regulateur; et que faire avec l'excedent d'employes. certainement pas trouve Ce ne sont pas les seules problemes, bien entendu, et nous avons trouver une solution qui soit une solution definitive pour chacun d'eux. Notre but a ete de deboucherait sur une d'abord acceptable politiquement et qui dans un deuxieme temps, le peuple Bolivien, pas plus transaction reussie. Nous ne pouvions pas nous permettre d'ecarter groupes simultanement, il n'est que les eventuels investisseurs. En ne satisfaisant pas les deux pas possible d'aboutir a une transaction reussie. Bien que mon penchant ait e de rendre la transaction attrayante aux investisseurs, le gouvemement a dfu faire face Ades realites politiques. 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 niveau Asupporter par le resultat economique de l'entreprise a ete un bon compromis. Parce que le peuple de Bolivie d6sirait etre partenaire de la nouvelle societe, le Gouvemement a e concern6 par le succes financier de la nouvelle entreprise. 2. La Disposition des Exces d'Infrastructure Gouvemement a decide que Concernant la disponibilite des exces d'infrastructure, le etre developpees, devrait rester toute propriete non operationnelle, incluant les biens qui pourrait a ete tres importante pour la dans ce que nous appelons 1'<< ENFE residual »>. Cette decision aurait ete deforme par la perspective de strategie parce que sinon le processus d'encherissement immobiliere plut6t que les presence d'encherisseurs dont le principal objectif est la speculation operations de chemin de fer. seront utilis6s afin de fournir les Les benefices de la liquidation progressive de ces biens la dette externe non transferee au SAM. terminaisons des employes et de financer cette partie de la meme maniere que <<Railways ENFE deviendrait alors une compagnie en liquidation, de Railways Settlement Corporation », Corporation >>en Nouvelle-Zelande ou que <<Japan National qui ont tous les deux e crees dans le meme dessein. 3. Politique des Tarifs et Subventions exactement sa politique de Bien que le Gouvemement de Bolivie n'a pas determine tres des subventions pendant une periode de tarifs, il a developpe un plan pour l'elimination graduelle la oiu il y a une absence de competition cinq ans. La regulation des tarifs est observee seulement efficace. l'elimination graduelle des Nous croyons qu'il est important de preparer un plan pour il est alors plus facile pour le subventions. Si les encherisseurs repondent au meme plan, est preferable plutot que d'avoir chaque Gouvemement d'evaluer les encheres. Cette technique ou son propre plan d'elimination des encherisseur qui fournit son attente minimale de subvention soumette une demande de subventions. Cela reduit les risques que chaque encherisseur ils menacent de cesser l'activite du subvention minime pour obtenir la concession et qu'ensuite chemin de fer si d'autres subventions ne sont pas versees. remplacee par une En Bolivie, la subvention du Gouvernement sera progressivement operateur.

Les tarifs pour les developpement d'une autoroute parallele comme alternative L'ENFE a pretendu que, sans la graines de soja ont atteint un haut niveau malgre la subvention. en meme temps les affreteurs subvention, le transport des graines de soja n'etait pas economique; contre le prix monopolistique ont pretendu que la subvention etait necessaire pour les premunir exactement le type de trafic que le du chemin de fer. Le resultat a e un tarif excessif pour 6 chemin de fer aurait du transporte le plus efficacement. Avec la nouvelle approche, une protection contre les abus du monopole sur l'Oriental est etablie par une reduction des tarifs a l'annee, et l'efficacite est promue par l'eventuelle elimination de la subvention. Si les rabais avait pourtant ete plus agressives, les producteurs des graines de soja n'insisteraient pas pour l'achevement de la nouvelle route entre Santa Cruz et le Bresil. A present, le chemin de fer doit devenir plus efficace afin d'atteindre l'efficacite reelle ou potentielle de l'autoroute. Des que l'autoroute est construite, des limitations de tarifs ne seront plus necessaires parce que l'autoroute imposera une limite naturelle concernant la hauteur possible des tarifs. 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 << captives >>excedent un 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 future, la disponibilite d'une alternative de transport, et l'etendue des nuisances aux communautes locales. Ces standards pourraient etre similaires aux ceux des Etats-Unis oui, base sur les avantages et l'utilite 7 publique, le gouvemement autorise l'arret des services apres avoir evalue les besoins des affreteurs et des communautes contre le fardeau de l'operateur en fournissant le service en question. Nous recommandons egalement que les standards de maintenance soient lies au niveau de trafic sur la ligne; cela est mieux exprime en termes d'une vitesse maximum approprie pour la ligne en question. Cela permettrait les standards d'etre autosuffisant, puisque l'operateur aurait un interet economique Amaintenir une ligne lucrative Aun haut niveau. Les locomotives et les 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 avec 1'<< ENFE Residual >>, qui sera responsable pour la continuite de leur emploi ou pour le paiement d'indemnites de rupture. 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. I1est evident Apartir de notre experience que la Bolivie a acheve deux elements significatives. D'abord, elle a dejA mis en cruvre, avec succes, un nouveau modele pour transferer les entreprises etatises au secteur prive. Ce modele est bien assorti aux pays a faibles 8 capitaux comme la Bolivie. Deuxiemement, en face d'une opposition nationale significative, elle a acheve le transfert au controle prive d'un symbole traditionnel de la souverainete de l'etat, le systeme national du chemin de fer. Le fait qu'une telle tache politiquement difficile a ete realisde est un preuve non seulement de l'integrite du modele, mais aussi de la volonte du Gouvemement. i Ii Ii i i iI 1 i I ANNEX 2 Africa iranspow Technical Note R)X Railway Restructuring (RR) A New Approach to Restructutring Railways in Sub-Saharan Africa Concessioning of Rail Transport Karim-JacquesBudin T I f he concessioning of rail op- This-Article was5 pubIshued itherativity, July-August 1995 issue of the rail- The purpose of this series is to share information on studies of the SSATP.

Internet address: Ijones2@worldbank-org- 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.

Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Policy Program (SSATP) * Concessioning's "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 UNECA -aKid The Woirid Baink __ 2 of the 20th At the end of the 19th and the beginning oferathe 2h ads te beginning Atteendtofithe 19thmanyr 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- -Transport en Afrique Railway activity regilatoryframework.The regulatory the 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 public service obligation. structured, forming six freight railways and three groups of suburban railways, all concessioned.

Concessionaire's Staff. For effective management, the concessionaire's staff must be governed by legislation 13 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 can be extended by both parties after each five-year period for successive five-year periods.

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. Transport en Afrique * 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).

Lactivite ferroviaire sera exploitee par le concessionnaire a titre d'activit6 commerciale, a ses frais, risques et perils. La concession ferroviaire sera en g6neral un melange des deux formes juridiques que distinguent, en fonction du mode de financement des investissements, les juristes de tradition frangaise, la concession stricto sensu, investissements, juristes d'une part, et l'affermage, d'autre part.lesLa concession ferroviaire n'est pas privatisation de l'activite ferroviaire au sens complet, puisque l'Etat conserveune la propriete des infrastructures (et, eventuellement, d'une partie du materiel ferroviaire). Le principal objectif de la mise en concession de l'activit6 ferroviaire est d'accroitre l'efficacite des transports ferroviaires, grace a la mise en oeuvre par l'operateur, soumis aux disciplines de gestion du secteur prive, d'une gestion type resolument commerciale de l'activit6, orient6e vers la satisfaction des de besoins du march6. La formule permet egalement de clarifier les relations entre l'Etat et l'op6rateur ferroviaire, et interdit notamment l'ing6rence de l'Etat dans la gestion courante de l'activite ferroviaire, ingerence qui est souvent pour une part importante aLl'origine des difficultes des entreprises ferroviaires et que, dans la pratique et quelles que soient les dispositions formelles relatives a l'autonomie de gestion de l'entreprise ferroviaire, le statut d'entreprise publique du chemin de fer peut toujours laisser craindre. La mise en concession est enfin l'occasion - au m8me titre que le seraient d'autres schemas de restructuration - de lib6rer le secteur ferroviaire des "p6ch6s du passe" qui pesent lourdement l'activit6 du secteur, notamment pour ce qui concerne l'inadaptation de la sur structure financiere de l'entreprise ferroviaire et les sureffectifs du personnel. Globalement, la mise en concession de l'activit6 ferroviaire devrait conduire a une am6lioration notable de la performance financiere du secteur ferroviaire, qui cesserait ainsi de peser lourdement sur les finances publiques, les concours financiers de l'Etat au secteur se limitant alors a la compensation eventuelle des obligations de service public qu'il imposerait au chemin de fer.

DC Adresse surInternet z Africa Transport I Les regles du jeu de I'activite ferroviaire dans un regime de concession -qui la concession Les mecamismes de de Fautivt 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 SITARAIL, dont l'entree en vigueur est prevue en Budin, Specialiste Aout 1995.a laKarim-Jacques de la Banque Division 'fransports ~~~~ferroviaire de la da Traprts vsen pr moniale, mondiale, presente ci-apres, a la lumiere des matiere, la en r6centes (encore rares) exp6riences les principales caract6ristiques de la concession d'exploitation ferroviaire et examine les options et modalit6s qu'il semble possible de recommander pour sa mise en oeuNTe. de la concession. Le concessionnaire * Champ sera normalement responsable (i) de l'exploitation technique et commerciale des services de transport ferroviaire de marchandises et de voyageurs et des activites annexes au transport; (ii) de l'exploitation, la maintenance, . , et eransor; infeastrenouvesem fetroair aesmexisantdes(A infrastructures ferroviaires existantes (a l'exclusion de la construction d'infrastructures nouvelles de developpement, qui resteront en g6neral de la responsabilit6 de l'Etat); et (iii) de la gestion courante du domaine public ferroviaire. De maniere generale, la s6paration . ' 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 Technical Notes 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. 4 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. La premiere dtape de ia procedure concerne la pre qualification des candidats a I'actionnariat de refrence-qui seront dans la pratiquc toujours -Africa Transport 6 constitues en consortiums - cette pre-qualification 6tant effectu6c sur des criteres de capacite technique et de solidite financiere. Cette etape devTa etre pr6c6d6e d'un intense effort de prospection des candidats potentiels, de maniere a ouvrir le plus largement possible la concurrence. Les candidats pre-qualifies recevront un dossier de consultation complet qui comprendra notamment le projet de convention de concession. Les candidats seront inmit&s a presenter un projet de Plan d'entreprise a moven terme, accompagne de leurs commentaires et suggestions sur le projet de convention de concession. Ces elements seront discut6s entre l'Etat et les candidats. Une structure dc liLuidiation- qui pourrait etre l'entreprise publique de ehemins de fer - devra etre mise en place par l'Etat. avee pour mission de mettre en oeuvre le programme de red6ploiement et de reduction des effeetifi; dii personnel de l'ancienne entreprise publique ferro;iaire non repris par le concessionnaire, r6soudre les questions relatives aux retraites des personnels affiliCs a des regimes particuliers de retraite et vendre les actifs ferroviaires non repris par le coneessionnaire. Cette structure de liquidation devra 6g;1lenient assurer l'apurement financier (reglemcnt dles dettes et arrieres) de l'ancienne entreprise ferroviaire.
