Directive 2008/57/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 on the interoperability of the rail system within the Community (Recast) (Text with EEA relevance) (repealed)
When the UK left the EU, legislation.gov.uk published EU legislation that had been published by the EU up to IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.). On legislation.gov.uk, these items of legislation are kept up-to-date with any amendments made by the UK since then.
Legislation.gov.uk publishes the UK version. EUR-Lex publishes the EU version. The EU Exit Web Archive holds a snapshot of EUR-Lex’s version from IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.).
This is the original version (as it was originally adopted).
The scope of the TSIs shall be progressively extended to the whole rail system as referred to in Article 1(4). In order to deliver interoperability cost-effectively further subcategories of all categories of network and vehicles mentioned in this Annex will, where necessary, be developed. If necessary, the functional and technical specifications mentioned in Article 5(3) may vary according to the subcategory.
The cost-benefit analysis of the proposed measures will take into consideration, among others, the following:
cost of the proposed measure,
benefits to interoperability of an extension of the scope to particular subcategories of networks and vehicles,
reduction of capital costs and charges due to economies of scale and better utilisation of vehicles,
reduction of investment and maintenance/operating costs due to increased competition between manufacturers and maintenance companies,
environmental benefits, due to technical improvements of the rail system,
increase of safety in operation.
In addition, this assessment will indicate the likely impact for all the operators and economic agents involved.
