The freight train sector in Europe has grown by 4% in the last decade while in Spain it has fallen by 50% .There are 7 independent freight operators in Spain and they see thir industry as being strategically important and say that progress is being hindered . They lay the blame fairly and squarly at the door of RENFE the State rail operator .They accuse them of disloyal competition since the 2006 deregulation .They say that Renfe practises predatory and disproportionate price strategies that have plunged the sector into an untenable situation . Renfe has multimillion losses but they offset these against their other companies .They say that Renfe Freight has restricted the development in the private sector allowing them only 20% of the market since 2006 . They go on to say that deregulation was not accompanied by better infrastructure .Spain´s track width is different , sidings are too short for foreign trains and also timetables are incompatible with international logistics .All in all not a good situation for these private companies to be facing .
