1. General Context

1.1 The scope extension ofTSls (with effect on 01 January 2015), the functional and technical harmonisation

of requirements within TSIs made a series of national rules redundant and unnecessary.

1.2 While Directive(EU) 2016/797 does not yet apply to Norway, the principle of non-duplication of TSI

requirements by national rules is already set in Directive 2008/57/EC, in particular in its Article 17. The

processes described below are thus in line with the principles set in Directive 2008/57/EC and the Agency

and the “Norway NSA” agreed to apply them.

1.3 The articles 13 and 14 of Directive(EU) 2016/797 indicate clearly cases where national rules may continue

to apply:- New national rules may only be adopted in of the following cases (article 14(4)),

o when a TSI does not fully meet the essential requirements;

o as an urgent preventive measure, in particular following an accident.- Existing national rules (article 13(2)) are limited to

o where the TSIs do not cover, or do not fully cover, certain aspects corresponding to the

essential requirements, including open points as referred to in Article 4(6)Case where non-

application of one or more TSls or parts of them has been notified under article 7 ofDirective(EU) 2016/797,

o Specific cases listed but not described in TSls,

o Ensure technical compatibility with existing network not yet in compliance with TSI,

o Vehicles excluded from the scope of TSIs,

o Urgent temporary preventive measure, in particular following an accident.

1.4 According to article 14 of Directive(EU) 2016/797, Member States had to notify existing national rulesbefore 16 December 2016. When notifying, Members States have to provide justification for the

existence of national rules (e.g. identification of the related open-point).

1.5 Member States shall notifiy their national rules for vehicle authorisation. According to the

communication of the Commission in RISC, until the Single Rules Database is available, the notification is

performed in the Reference Document Database (RDD).

1.6 Since 2016, in accordance to the ERA programme plan on cleaning-up of national rules ERA-PRG-006-

PPL, Member States and the Agency started the activity on identification and evaluation of national rules

in addition to the following TSls:- TSI WAG: Commission Regulation (EU) No 321/2013, amended by Regulation (EU) No 1236/2013,

- TSI LOC&PAS: Commission Regulation (EU) No 1302/2014,

- TSI PRM: Commission Regulation (EU) No 1300/2014,- TSI Noise: Commission Regulation (EU) No 1304/2014,

- TSI CCS: Commission Regulation (EU) No 2016/919 (including ERA/ERTMS/033281 rev 3.0 dated04/12/201).

1.7 From 16 June 2019 and pending the Single Rules Database, the Reference Document Database will be

the reference for applicants, NSAs and the Agency in terms of applicable national rules for vehicleauthorisation.

1.8 The scope of the technical opinion covers the examination of national rules (existing or draft) leading to

a negative assessment by the Agency.

b) where non-application of one or more TSIs or parts of them;c) where a specific case requires the application of technical rules not included in the relevant TSI;d) national rules used to specify existing systems, limited to the aim of assessing technical compatibility

of the vehicle with the network;e) networks and vehicles not covered by TSls;

f) as an urgent temporary preventive measure, in particular following an accident.

2.2 According to the provisions of article 14 (9) of Directive (EU) 2016/797, draft national rules and nationalrules referred to in paragraph 1 shall be examined by the Agency in accordance with the procedures laiddown in Articles 25 and 26 of Regulation (EU) 2016/796.

3. Analysis

3.1. Tasks under the responsibility of the Member States:

In accordance to rules cleaning-up programm plan ERA-PRG-006-PPL from March 2016, Member states wereasked to

- Identify and remove national rules covered by TSls,- Relate national rules to the TSIs and to the list of parameters defined in decision 2015/2299/Eu,- Clearly refer national rules not related to open point(s) or specific case(s) to TSI requirements in order

to identify if they complement/contradict/replace TSls for compatibility with existing networks,- Ensure that the requirement is a mandatory rule. Acceptable national means of compliance in

accordance to the definition in article 2 (34) of Directive 2016/797 is not considered as a nationalrule,

- Identify and analyse requirements that don’t relate to any of the above, verify, in this case forexample if the TSI is deficient/non-exhaustive.

Based on the outcome of this activity, Member States should have:

- Published their national rules in the Reference Document Database and- Aligned their national legislation for vehicle authorisation with the Reference Document Database.

3.2. Tasks carried out by the Agency

During the project of cleaning up of national rules for vehicle authorisation covered by the Rules cleaning upprogram plan ERA-PRG-006-PPL, the Agency has

- Provided technical support to Member States in the cleaning up of the remaining rules by ensuring:o That rules relate to : Open points, Specific cases, Legacy system or rule duly justified for

compatibility with existing fixed installation (i.e. a specific case not declared up to now).O Consistency with the EU framework, including register of infrastructure and responsibilities

of actors as defined in the Safety Directive and TSI OPE.o That the rule is transparent and not discriminatory.o The update of the Reference Document Database.

- Assessed the relevance of the remaining national rules together with the Member states, using theReference Document Database as a reference.

- Provided regular reporting to European commission on the progress made.- Updated the Reference Document Database with the status of the evaluation.- In accordance with article 25(3) and 26(3) of Agency regulation 2016/797, the Agency informed

officialy the Member States and the European Commission through an assessment report, sent byemail, on the national rules in addition to latest TSIs (ERA-PRG-006-REP-RST). This report waspublished on the ERA websiste and uploaded on the CIRCABC.

- The Agency asked to the Member States to check the report, to provide comments and to take into

consideration the actions proposed.

- The Norwegian NSA provided feedback on the report and indicated that the highlighted clauses will

be reviewed and reworded. NSA Norway informed also the Agency that the Vehicle Regulation

containing the National Rules of Norway is being updated and will be adapted according to the

Interoperability Directive 2016/797. The update started and planned to be finalized by the end of

2019. The draft Vehicle regulation will be sent for national and EU — hearing in due time.

1. Context and problem definition

1.1. Problem and One of the main objectives of the the 4th Railway Package (RP) is to

problem drivers increase the efficiency of the authorisation process of vehicles and to

ensure transparency and non-discrimination of applicants in this process.

Applicants for vehicle authorisations have to demonstrate compliancy

with TSIs and with national rules notified by MSs.

The scope extension of TSls, the functional and technical harmonisationof requirements within TSls made a number of national rules redundantand unnecessary.

Problem/need to be addressed:

In accordance with Art. 14 (9) of lnteroperability Directive 2016/797 theAgency examined the draft national rules and national rules notified inaccordance to Art 13.2. The majority of rules were cleaned in consensus

with the MS. The Technical Opinion focus on rules where there isdisagreement between MS and the Agency concerning theirjustifications/acceptance. These rules might represent an obstacle in the

vehicle authorisation process.

1.2. Main assumptions 1. In June 2012, the European Commission has commissioned an impactassessment in view of the preparation of the 4th RP, hereinafter referred

to as the 4th RP IA1. The cleaning of national rules is represented as anhorizontal measure (to increase efficiency of the authorisation process)

in all evaluated option. (where one of the option was the policy packagesummarized as 4th RP). This LIA uses this IA as main source for economic

data.

2. The TO only identifies the remaining rules in addition to TSIs refered

in section of the TO where there is disagreement between MS and the

Agency. As long as there is no removal or modification of the concernedrule(s), there is no economic impact. In this LIA we assume, that as aconsequence of publication of the TO, the MS will withdraw theremaining rules so that an economic impact will appear.

3. The majority of national rules was cleaned in consensus with the MS,which already lead to a significant reduction of applicable rules in theframework of vehicle authorisation (e.g. from approx. 14.000 national

rules to less than 1000 national rules). As a consequence thisachievement contributes significantly to the economic impacts of the

complete cleaning process. The scope of the TO focus on the remaining

rules where there is disagreement between MS and Agency, It

contributes much lower to the economic impacts of the completecleaning process.

1.3. Stakeholdersaffected

Category of stakeholder Importance of the problem (*)

National Safety 2Authorities NSAs have to check the national part of

the application for vehicle authorisation.However as compliance with nationalrules is checked by a DeBo, they are notdirectly concerned by the problem.However NSAs might be in charge of themanagement of national rules,especially keeping them up to date. Inthis context the problem could berelevant for them.

ERA 2Although ERA is not involved in theassessment of the national part of theapplication for vehicle authorisation,ERA is delivering the final authorisationdecision. For this reason, ERA isconcerned by the problem however in alimited way.

Vehicle Supplier 5As applicants for vehicle authorisationsthey have to declare compliance with allapplicable national rules.

RUs 5If they are applicants for vehicleauthorisations — see vehicle suppliers

Infrastructure Managers 5If they are applicants for vehicleauthorisations — see vehicle suppliers

Nate:Other stakeholders not listed in this table like IMs, wagon keepersare not impacted.

*) 1—low; 5=high

1.4. Evidence and The evidence of the problem related to the inefficiency of the

magnitude of the authorisation process was analysed in detail in the 4th RP impact

problem assessment (see section 3 problem definition).

The magnitude of the problem for all EU countries was not quantified butit is estimated to be an impact of hundreds of millions EUR for theEuropean railway sector.

1.5. Baseline scenario The remaining national rules, where there is disagreement between MSand the Agency concerning their justifications/acceptance, are kept inforce after the publication of this TO by the MS.

1.6. Subsidiarity and According to the provisions of article 14 (9) of Directive (EU) 2016/797,

proportionality draft national rules and national rules referred to in paragraph 1 shall be

3. Options

3.1. List of options Baseline

Option 1 — Technical Opinion

3.2. Description of Baseline - corresponds to the Baseline of the 4’ RP IA

options> No cleaning of national rules

Option 1 — TO Negative Assessment of National Rules

) Description of remaining rules where there is disagreement between

MS and ERA about their justification.

Further Assumption: These remaining rules will be removed or

modified by the MS as a consequence of the publication of the TO

3.3. Uncertainties/risks 1. The residual risk (related to a potential incompatibility with the

network of the concerned MS) resulting from a removal or modification

of a national rule is not taken into account in this LIA. It is considered to

be marginal or non existent.

2. The estimation of benefits of the 4th RP as stated in the 4th RP IA was

based on stakeholders’ opinion survey and was performed in 2012. More

updated evidence is not yet available.
