History
14 Oct 1890, Bern (Switzerland), by the T-XT0067 - International Convention Concerning the Carriage of Goods by Rail, 14 Oct 1890, Bern, functioning as the administrative organ of the Convention, which came into force 1 Jan 1893. Originally referred to in English as Central Office for International Transport by Railway or Central Office for International Railway Transport and in French as Office central des transports internationaux par chemins de fer. On coming into force of T-XT8045 - Convention Concerning International Carriage by Rail, 1980, 1 May 1985, OCTI became an internal body of C-XC0248 - Intergovernmental Organisation for International Carriage by Rail (OTIF), acting as its permanent Secretariat. When the 1999 Amendment Protocol and thus the new version of COTIF entered into force, 1 Jul 2006, the Secretary General assumed the functions of Secretariat of OTIF and OCTI ceased to exist.
