Abstract

France is creeping toward a reform of its rail system a few months before the last phase in the construction of single European rail area, as already happened for road or air transportation during the 1990s. The stated EU objective — shared by French representatives in Brussels but still repressed in the discourse of officials in Paris — is to abolish the last national borders that deter the work patiently carried out in view of creating a single rail area. EU rail policy does not just amount to a program for deregulating monopolies and regulating competition; it is also a powerful, deliberate tool for investment in transportation.

Group working to develop good practices, which had both an extensive field experience and scientific instruments, has gradually converged to a specific doctrine of "reasonable use" of science by their place in the traditional arguments based on simple rules, but tough. Be described by the complex trade-offs made ​​between two logics, the logic "hyperrationnelle" and the pragmatic logic, which are always more or less tension in the regulation of risk.
