Members of parliament have expressed their readiness to hold a closed hearing specifically about SNCB's decision to procure trains from CAF.

In the political arena, the N-VA party has proposed reducing the Belgian government's stake in SNCB, a suggestion that has been rejected by the Vooruit party.

Meanwhile, the ongoing social dialogue between SNCB and labor unions continues to face challenges, highlighting broader issues within the organization.

On April 15, 2025, the Council of State suspended SNCB's decision to purchase trains from the Spanish company CAF, following concerns raised by Alstom and Siemens regarding the transparency of the bidding process.

Jean-Luc Crucke, the Minister of Mobility, indicated that while SNCB is reviewing the suspension decision, it may not be necessary to restart the entire public procurement process if they can provide better justification for their choice.

Minister Crucke also mentioned that SNCB is willing to explain its actions to the parliamentary committee, but this can only occur after the procurement process concludes due to confidentiality laws surrounding public contracts.

In response to these concerns, several members of the Belgian parliament, including those from the ruling majority, have requested a hearing with SNCB to ensure transparency, potentially in a closed session if necessary.
