Legal background

• Independent railway undertakings have access to the railway network on a non-discriminatory basis (e.g. telecommunication sector, energy sector)

[Directive 2001/14/EC]

• Non-discriminatory access to service facilities (e.g. transhipment sidings, freight terminals) irrespective of the ownership

• Independence of essential functions of the infrastructure manager: capacity allocation; timetabling; charging

[Directive 2012/34/EU (Recast)]

• Act CLXXXIII of 2005 on rail transport• Charging statute 83/2007 (X.6.) and its modifications• Capacity allocation statute 101/2007 (XII. 22.)

The basic principles of

free access and equal treatment

is defined by law.

CM Methodological document of network access charges

– five-year

CDDetailed calculations and data providing the basic of them

– yearly

Charging methodology and Charging Document

• Cost-based allocated unit prices

• Direct and indirect costs of infrastructure services

• Data of actual year costs and state subsidy

• State subsidy is divided based on transport political principles

4

Essential change in the methodology

The base of charge calculation is the total reasonable cost.

Total reasonable cost-based charging

Marginal cost-based charging

The base of calculation is the operational costs directly incurred by an additional train service.

In case of the charges for the minimum access package and for access to station service facilities

„Market can bear test”: full costs only if the segment can bear higher costs than marginal

costs

5

Modalities: from full costs to total direct costs

Step 0: Full costs

Step 1: ./. Cost not related with infrastructure management

Step 2: ./. Costs not related with minimum access package

Step 3: ./. Costs financed by grants

= full costs of infrastructure management

Step 4: ./. Costs that do not vary with an additional train service

= direct costs per year

Step 5: modulation according to types of train

Step 6: averaging against fluctuations of traffic
