A holistic intervention in the way of working OSEbut also in the security forces for trains are expected to be made by the government in today’s cabinetas the bill compiled by the Deputy Minister of Transport will be presented Konstantinos Kyranakis in line with the “PPC model”.
In direct cooperation with the Deputy Prime Minister Kostis Hatzidakis, who in 2019 was the one who had taken over the “hot potato” of the then DEKO, Mr. Kyranakis – in collaboration with the Minister of Infrastructure Christos Dimas – will present the overall plan for the design and the design of the the safest circulation of train.
Kyranakis on the subject: “We are upgrading the level of security”
“With the bill, but mainly with the immediate implementation of what it provides, we are upgrading the level of safety of the railway. In 3 months, OSE will have a modern system of precise train geotoism that will prevent accidents and digitally and complete transparently what is happening and when the entire rail network. At the same time, we accelerate the ETCS projects, for which the first onto the automatic braking tests that were done worked normally. “
With a given distance from the “interrupted period” of Tempi mobilizations, the government is perhaps bringing the biggest institutional breakthrough to OSE’s operation for a long time. Based on and the finding of OPANAAMAfter all, OSE is described as a “black hole”, a company without a modern culture of operating and highly under -staffed.
Answering a relevant question In his interview with protothema.gr’s “Direct” show, Kyriakos Mitsotakis He rejected the accusation of delayed intervention. “We should not reset the effort that has been making for the last two years. We are not starting from scratch, “Mr Mitsotakis said, adding that” there will be a drastic intervention in the way the new Greek railway organization will operate. ” It should be noted at the end of the year the previous political leadership had launched the establishment of the OSE Diadon Company, Railways of Greece SA, although so far the new corporate structure has remained on paper.
Single Center for Supervisory
Starting from augmented security provisions, central pillar of bill will be the establishment of Single Traffic Center of Traffic in the Network. It will be a secondary center, which will have a total supervision on the network and will not be involved in traffic management, as do local telecommunications centers. To that of all, all the trains circulating on the network and not only passengers will bring HEPOS transceivers, which give a real time image of the train stigma. Competent sources estimate that in about three to four months the majority of train will be equipped with this system, in an effort to operate the new OSE to operate in the new standards. As he had written a month ago, “THEMA”, revealing the intentions of the government, his position will come back with legislative provision. boss which has been abolished for years and is yet another safety date. The regulation of the operation of the business is also expected to be significantly tightened and even the dismissal of employee will be dismissed, depending on the offense to which it has made it. “An employee who is not working under the influence of drugs may not be fired,” said a government source. More stricter employee evaluation filters will also be provided, both during their recruitment and during their work, using psychometric tests and drug tests. Just a few weeks ago, after all, Candidate workers were “cut” by recruitment process as they were under the influence of drugs.
The bill will also include the possibility of even recalling licenses operating in Greece, if they do unethical or abusive actions. Finally, it will be foreseen to improve the video mechanism, in an effort to safeguard the company’s material that often becomes smooth in the hands of Roma gangs that have been “looting” for years and cables.
Increased fees for executives
Deep incisions are also expected in the partnership, according to PPC standards. According to “THEMA”, for the senior and senior executives of the new company (Managing Director, Corporate Officer, Director General, Directors and Deputy Directors) the system will be adjusted. remuneration and will be excluded of his frame Salaryin order to be able to Public To attract executives with experience overseas for these responsible positions.
According to the same information, after the adoption of the bill, expected in May, an open competition will run to attract executives to positions of responsibility, while the responsible Minister Mr. Kyranakis has made contacts with Greeks who have similar positions in foreign companies. “Without more money, no one is coming to put his head on Dorva,” he recognizes a central government source, explaining that the process was extremely successful in the case of PPC in previous years, resulting in the overall transformation of the company that ceased to be a “black hole”. Executives hired will have three -year or four -year contracts, which can be renewed once, and will not be prohibitive to come from the existing potential of the organization. Until the completion of the relevant procedure and the placement of a new administration, the current OSE administration remains in place, which was transitional until… it was permanent.
Fast Track Recruits and Supplies
A major public problem is the very slow pace recruitment And, as mentioned above, OSE’s main problem is great underlying. With the bill, the government aspires to accelerate the procedure, off the ASEP from the approval process. “The recruitment will be done quickly, under the supervision of the ASEP process, but not with the current process,” he says well -known source, adding that his key role will be the approval of the notice. The aim is soon for the new organization to be staffed with staff and to fill several gaps in the organizational chart, after years of “leak” experienced executives due to retirement and non -replenishment. The bill is also expected to incorporate European guidelines for hiring in organizations supervised by the Ministry of Transportsuch as OPANAAMbut also to Railway Regulatory Authority (RAS). Especially in the case of RAS, the need to hire inspectors, as we are in the process of violating the European Commission.
Similar intervention in the logic of acceleration of procedures will also take place in the Supplies, as it was done shortly in the case of the Hypermalion. According to reports, contracts of up to EUR 5 million will be excluded from the provisions of Law 4412 in order for the new organization to gain more flexibility for the supply of material and so on.
The conclusion
The bill -under submitted is expected to rekindle the discussion of the accident management of the accident Tempswhich is still significantly far from taking the court. A key deficit is the finding of the NTUA that has been ordered by the investigator Sotiris Bakaimis by NTUA Professor Dimitris Karonis, regarding the causes of the fireplace. Mr Karonis has not yet delivered it, although the order has been given for more than a year. Also, EPODAAM is expected to further investigate the fireplace section, and is also pending to be a replacement of the resigned deputy chairman of the organization and head of the railway sector Christos Papadimitriou.
