This are the proceedings from the workshop arranged 16/10 -2003 in Brussels, discussing: "Deregulation and Transport safety in Rail - What is best practice in EU?" Of special interest was the paper from Prof A. Evans indicating that Rail privatisation in Great Britain has NOT adversely affected safety - this is contrary to popular opinion - this should be further explored. The workshop was funded by the RISIT programme, which is a 5-year research programme carried out by The Research Council of Norway on Risk in the Transport Sector. These proceedings document the keynote presentations: "Knowledge survey of relationship between deregulation and transport safety. "Stig. Johnsen, SINTEF, Norway.
