Earlier this year, WCM handed over a report highlighting the importance of smart maintenance for European infrastructure to director Herald Ruijters of the EU Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport and Rijkswaterstaat. Ruijters stressed in a video message that maintenance is high on the agenda of the EU's TEN-T (Trans-European Transport Network) programm. "We are working on a new EU regulation and a separate article for maintenance is urgently needed. The WCM report provides input for this."
