No. L343, 14.12.12, p.32) (“the Directive”). The Directive repeals 3 key EU measures: (i) Council Directive 91/440/EEC of 29 July 1991 on the development of the communities railways (O.J. No. L237, 24.8.1991, p.25): (ii) Council Directive 95/18/EC of 19 June 1995 on the licensing of railway undertakings (O.J.
