Abstract :
In this paper a partial solution towards risk acceptance in European railways is proposed - namely for technical systems, which has already been formally agreed by the Union of European Railway Industries (UNIFE). As the proposal has a far-reaching impact on the safety of the railways, it is justified here using a wide variety of arguments, based on technical, normative, economic and legal considerations.
