On Monday 15 June 2026, Luxembourg's Ministry of Mobility and Public Works announced a series of organisational changes following the appointment of Jean-Paul Lickes as the new Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Railway Company of Luxembourg (CFL), following the company's General Assembly and the Board of Directors' decision.
Loris Meyer, previously Head of the Ministry's Communication Coordination, has succeeded Jean-Paul Lickes as Director General of Directorate General III (Mobility, Traffic and Transport Infrastructure). In the new role, he will oversee the implementation of Luxembourg's integrated transport policy, including the National Mobility Plan, with a focus on multimodal transport, public transport, active mobility and the delivery of transport infrastructure projects.
Directorate General III is responsible for mobility planning, railways, roads, traffic and road safety, said the ministry, adding that it also coordinates the work of Luxembourg’s Public Transport Administration, the Railway Administration and the Roads Administration in line with the ministry's priorities.
Carlos Guedes has succeeded Loris Meyer as Head of Communication Coordination, ensuring continuity in the ministry's communication activities.
According to the ministry, the organisational changes aim to ensure continuity, facilitate the transfer of expertise and strengthen administrative efficiency while supporting Luxembourg's strategic priorities in mobility, traffic and transport infrastructure.
The CFL noted that Jean-Paul Lickes succeeds Jeannot Waringo, who stepped down after serving as Chairman of the CFL Board of Directors for 29 years. Jeannot Waringo, who had been associated with the national railway company for almost 50 years in various roles, was awarded the title of Honorary Chairman in recognition of his long-standing contribution.
The railway company also added that, during Jeannot Waringo's tenure, the company evolved from a traditional public railway undertaking into "a modern transport group". It highlighted key developments including the liberalisation of the rail sector, the growth of CFL Cargo, major investment in railway infrastructure and rolling stock, as well as the doubling of annual passenger numbers over the past 20 years to 31.4 million.
