Regulations for charges according to EU-Directive
01/14
Minimum access package

• Charges for running a train should be as high as
  the costs of infrastructure directly incurred
  by that specific train (marginal costs?)
• Mark-ups permitted for scarcities
• Mark-ups permitted for further cost-recovery as
  long as the market can bear them
• External costs of running a train (noise,
  pollution, accidents) can be part of the
  charges, but this proportion of revenues has to
  be delivered to the state budget as long as
  such charges are not in place at other modes

Infrastructure Charges Experience and Outlook

• Further product- and price-differentiation will
  be necessary
• Targets for differentiation - market
  segment - quality levels - bottlenecks
• Focus on customer-service - additional services
  - seamless documentation from call to bill
• Reflection of cost-drivers - track-friendliness
  of engines - differentiation between
  long-term and ad-hoc business -
  identification of bottlenecks
• Fight for a levelled playing field in the
  competition with other modes of traffic!!!

33
Goals of Rail Net Europe

• Common organization and processes to act like
  one single infrastructure- manager towards the
  customer
• Simplification, improvement and promotion of
  border-crossing rail traffic both for freight
  and passenger trains
• Reduction of operative and administrative
  barriers in international rail traffic
• Realization of common structures in marketing
  and sales
• Major improvement of the competitiveness of rail

34
OneStopShop-Functionalities

• Regardless of the organizational realization
  within the respective infrastructure-manager, the
  OneStopShop-functionalities according to the
  RNE-principles comprise
• SalesSale of train-paths and additional
  infrastructure services internationally via
  onepoint of sales
• TimetablingConstruction of seamless
  international train-paths according to the
  customers needs
• OperationsRealization of an international
  train-path at the required quality level,
  accompanied by suitable systems and tools for
  communication
• gt Packages of seamless international services
  from origin to destination and from call to
  bill

Essential Functions according to EU-Directive
01/12

• Allocation of capacities Decisions about the
  timetable gt determines costs of operations and
  possibilities for maintenance
• Charging Decision about prices for
  infra-services gt determines revenues of the
  infrastructure-manager
• Separation of these functions from the
  infrastructure-manager means
• Increased transaction costs due to additional
  interfaces
• No entrepreneurial incentives to the
  infrastructure manager
• Impossibility to take economic responsibility by
  the infrastructure-manager
