European Commission Commissioner for Sustainable Transport and Tourism Apostolos Tsitsikostas said on the 4th that the Spanish side requested technical support from the European Union Railways on the morning of the same day to help investigate the high-speed train accident that occurred on October 28 in Spain's Castilla-La Mancha Autonomous Region. Relevant assistance is already underway. Zizi Costas said at a press conference held in Brussels on the same day that the cause of the accident is still under investigation and that the European Union will provide technical support to Spain. As a result of the accident that occurred on October 28, 69 people died. Currently, the Spanish Independent Traffic Accident Investigation Agency is responsible for the investigation. Zizi Costas said that there are two major train accidents in Spain within a year that are worrying, especially when the accidents have caused casualties. He said that the European Commission will continue to monitor the implementation of EU railway safety rules by member states. Zizikostas also called for European rail traffic management systems to be deployed on all railway lines as soon as possible to improve the safety level of the European railway network.
