NIGERIA: CIM EXPLORES RAILROAD MARKET
Article Abstract:
The renovation of Nigeria's railroad network is expected to give rise to maintenance work. CCECC, the Chinese company responsible for the work is thought to have carried out 75% to 80% of this US$ 529mn program, which it was awarded in 1995. It appears that a feasibility study has been launched concerning the construction and renovation of railroad reparation facilities. Given this situation, CIM Logerail, the commercial division of CIM, the Compagnie Internationale de Maintenance is on the lookout opportunities. This small French company, which made a turnover of FFr 120mn in 1999, and which specialises in railroad, took advantage of a visit to Nigeria by MEDEF, the French employers syndicate, in order to make contact with the railroad needs in this country.

SWITZERLAND: RAILROAD PROJECTS
Article Abstract:
Switzerland is going to invest SFr 30bn in railroad projects. These include a new railroad line through the Alpes, which includes the construction of the 34.6-kilometre Lotchberg tunnel until 2006-2007, the construction of the 57-kilometre Gothard tunnel which is to be completed in 2010; the construction of the Limmenberg and Hirzel tunnels and improving the lines; the Rail 2000 project approved by the Swiss in 1998; and connections with European TGV high speed rail lines. Half of the SFr 30bn will be financed by fees on heavy lorries; these fees were set up in 1994 in order to shift as much goods transport as possible from road to railroad), and half will be financed by VAT. As part of the European railroad liberalisation, CFF, the Swiss railroad company, has become a public limited company. The objective is to offer the best rates and to improve productivity by 5% a year.
