(1)Council Directive 96/48/EC of 23 July 1996 on the interoperability of the trans-European high-speed rail system 3 and Directive 2001/16/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 March 2001 on the interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system 4 were substantially amended by Directive 2004/50/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council 5 . As new amendments are now being introduced, it is appropriate to recast the Directives for the sake of clarity and merge their provisions together into a single instrument with a view to simplification.
