On 25 September 2018, UNIDROIT was invited to attend the General Assembly of the Intergovernmental Organisation for International Carriage by Rail (OTIF), the future Secretariat of the Supervisory Authority, which coincided with the celebration of OTIF’s 125th anniversary. After an introduction by OTIF Secretary-General Mr François Davenne, UNIDROIT Deputy Secretary-General Prof Anna Veneziano presented the Rail Luxembourg Protocol, together with Ms Elizabeth Hirst (Managing Director of Regulis SA, the Registrar,) and Mr Peter Bloch (Co-Chair of the Preparatory Commission), who each also gave presentations respectively on the functioning of the Registry and the role of the Supervisory Authority.  The General Assembly gave the OTIF Secretariat the mandate to continue with all actions required for the Registry to begin its operation and the Supervisory Authority to be set up.
