Use of railway infrastructure capacity in the single European railway area, amending Directive 2012/34/EU and repealing Regulation (EU) No 913/2010
Title (to)
Single European railway area: use of railway infrastructure capacity

These two texts have too little in common to be compared paragraph by paragraph (under 15 % of their paragraphs match): they are different documents rather than versions of one — for example a group’s motion and the joint text that was adopted.

Every difference

The full paragraph comparison, packaging included; long runs of unchanged paragraphs are folded. One part of the text per page.

RemovedAnnex II

RemovedHighly utilized and congested infrastructure referred to in Article 20

Removed1. Thresholds for the declaration of highly utilised and congested infrastructure

Removed[Am. 261]

RemovedCapacity utilisation means the ratio between capacity allocated, or for previous timetable periods, the actual number of trains running and the theoretical capacity available on an element of infrastructure on the basis of the methodology referred to in section 2.

Removed‘Homogenous traffic’ means that trains on the section concerned generally have similar characteristics relevant for capacity utilisation, in particular speed, stopping pattern and acceleration.

Removed‘Heterogenous traffic’ means that trains on the section concerned differ in characteristics relevant for capacity utilisation, in particular speed, stopping pattern and acceleration.

Removed2. Procedures and methods to calculate the degree of capacity utilisation

RemovedInfrastructure managers shall assess the degree of capacity utilisation on the basis of objective, transparent and appropriate procedures and methods.

RemovedInfrastructure managers may continue to use existing procedure and methods that meet these criteria. At the latest 3 years of the entry into force of this Regulation, ENIM shall prepare a recommendation on the use of a harmonised EU procedure and method to assess the utilisation of rail infrastructure capacity.

RemovedAlternatively, capacity utilisation can be assessed as the ratio between the demand for capacity (observed / past or estimate of future demand) and capacity available in the capacity utilisation plan in accordance with Article 18.

RemovedAnnex III

RemovedCONTENTS OF THE EUROPEAN FRAMEWORK FOR CAPACITY MANAGEMENT REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 6

RemovedThe European framework for capacity management referred to in Article 6 shall contain at least the following elements:

Removed(2) A section on the principles and criteria for capacity management. This shall set out the general capacity characteristics of the infrastructure, which is available to railway undertakings and any restrictions relating to its use, including likely capacity requirements for maintenance. It shall also specify the procedures and deadlines which relate to the capacity management process. It shall contain specific criteria, which are employed during that process, in particular:

Removed(a) the procedures according to which applicants are consulted, as referred to in Article 55 a, on strategic capacity planning; [Am. 262]

Removed(b) the procedures according to which applicants may request capacity from the infrastructure manager;

Removed(f) the structure and level of compensations for changes to capacity rights;

Removed(g) the procedures which shall be followed and criteria used where infrastructure is highly utilised or congested;

Removed(h) details of restrictions on the use of infrastructure;

Removed(i) an explanation for any deviations from the European framework referred to in Article 6.

Removed(3) A section on operations, including on traffic management, disruption management and crisis management. This shall set out the implementation of requirements laid out in this Regulation and in Directive (EU) 2016/797, Directive (EU) 2016/798 and Directive 2007/59/EC, including:
