• It is also possible that the infrastructure could face problems of insufficient capacity in the nearfuture. In that case, a congestion statement will be issued, following which the appropriatemeasures will be determined with the aid of the capacity analysis process and the aforementionedcapacity-enhancement plan.• The clients of ProRail may in terms of their activities and business operations (e.g., the running oftrains, stabling, cleaning, inspection, loading and unloading) experience a need to increase orchange the existing service package in terms of railway infrastructure or facilities.• This need can be expressed as a customer request via account management, after which ProRailcan offer a suitable solution in consultation with the client. If the solution is not available within thecurrent service package, a customised solution may be developed in consultation with the client.• A client request for a change of function at railway yards may imply a modification or expansion ofrailway yard facilities (see Chapters 3.8.3, 3.8.4 and 3.7). Such client requests must be submittedto ProRail. ProRail will use a weighting method to determine an appropriate response to such arequest, including who should pay for the realisation costs.• A titleholder that pays the non-train service dependent costs of a facility can conclude a frameworkagreement with ProRail in which the stabling capacity required to use that facility for a longerperiod than one year is allocated, on condition that such as permitted under the Railways Act. Theconditions for concluding a framework agreement are described in Chapter 4.4.4.• Changing legislation and regulations, consolidation requests and product policy can lead to thedevelopment of railway infrastructure and supplementary facilities. Developments that havealready been scheduled for the near future will, if applicable to a specific service group, bedescribed separately in the relevant chapter.External developmentsUsability of the railway infrastructure is also partly determined by conditions beyond the realm ofProRail’s responsibilities. ProRail has in this Network Statement incorporated the latest conditionsapplicable at the time of going to press.It is not inconceivable that further external developments may occur during the period of validity of thisNetwork Statement 2014, which may affect the usability of the infrastructure. Examples of suchexternal developments are given below.• Introduction of public law regulations for the routing of the carriage of dangerous goods, on thebasis of which the carriage of certain classes of dangerous goods on certain route sections maybe restricted or excluded.• Amendment of the Discharge Decree under the Soil Protection Act, which prescribes conditionsfor the discharge of waste water in the absence of retention and discharge systems. This couldinfluence the processes for the internal and external cleaning of railway vehicles wherebywastewater can penetrate the soil.ProRail is prepared to discuss the possibilities of anticipating such developments with the railwayundertakings.3.9.2 Planning schedule of function changesProRail executes projects for the expansion or improvement of the railway infrastructure. The followingare included in appendix 10:a) A list of the extensions and improvements that are expected to become available for use in theperiod up to and including 2019. This list indicates changes relating to both the scale andfunctionality of the network. Information in the list is subject to change. The project list iscontinually updated. The most recent version is available on the website of ProRail (www.prorail.nl> vervoerders > infrastructuur). Publication of an updated version is not regarded as a supplementto the Network Statement as referred to in Chapter 1.6.2 of the Network Statement.b) A list of studies by ProRail into infrastructural changes which are necessary to accommodatetraffic development in the medium term (2014-2020).c) An overview of the manner of implementation of earlier capacity-enhancement plans in line withSection 7 Paragraph 2 of the Railways Capacity Allocation Decree.Network Statement 2014 Combined Network - version 1.0 dated 9 January 2013 page 42
4 Capacity allocation4.1 IntroductionIn this chapter, ProRail describes the procedures, rules and schedules drawn up with a view torealising an organised and honest capacity allocation and traffic control process. All titleholders aretherefore subject to the same procedures, rules and schedules. Irrevocable decisions by the NMa, theNetherlands Monopolies Committee, may prompt changes to these procedures, rules and schedulesafter publication of the Network Statement, in the form of supplements thereto.The capacity allocation process is structured as a negotiation Table as referred to in the RailwayCapacity Allocation Decree. Parties with capacity requirements are invited to consult around this Tablein order to achieve an optimal allocation of capacity. ProRail chairs this process and submits solutionsfor consultation.Rules of procedure► Parties requesting capacity for the 2014 Timetable commit themselves to observing theprocedures, rules and schedules for the processing of all capacity applications as stated in thisNetwork Statement, including the regulations on capacity allocation disputes. By submitting atimetable application, an agreement is concluded between the requesting party and ProRail,which agreement includes the aforementioned procedures, rules and schedules for the processingof applications. ◄4.2 Description of process4.2.1 Legal FrameworkSummary of regulations► The Railways Act and the Railway Capacity Allocation Decree provide further detailing of theprovisions of Directive 2001/14/EC in order to allocate the capacity in an honest, fair and nondiscriminatorymanner.• The allocated capacity is agreed between the titleholders and ProRail. 45• Minimum capacity levels are set per submarket. 46• Statutory priority rules apply to congested infrastructure. 47• Rules apply for the allocation of capacity for work on the railways. 48• The Netherlands Monopolies Committee (NMa) is charged with supervising compliance withthe statutory regulations regarding capacity allocation and dealing with complaints about thecapacity allocation process or the results thereof. 49Part of the Combined Network of ProRail falls, pursuant to EU Regulation 913/2010, under theInternational “Rail Freight Corridors”, which are yet to be established. This regulation has a directeffect on capacity allocation on the international freight corridors specified in the annex to theregulation ◄4546474849Section 59 Railways ActSection 8 Railway Capacity Allocation DecreeSections 10, 11 and 12 Railway Capacity Allocation DecreeSections 6 and 9 Railway Capacity Allocation DecreeSection 70 Railways ActNetwork Statement 2014 Combined Network - version 1.0 dated 9 January 2013 page 43
