administrative action and does not imply any change to the capacity rights. The commencementdates of the change sheets are determined by ProRail, following consultation with railwayundertakings and foreign infrastructure managers.e. Catalogue paths for international freight transport offered in RNE context and paths designated byProRail in determining the annual timetable (BIT paths) remain reserved for this use up to deliveryto traffic control. RNE publishes pre-arranged-paths on the international freight corridors 1(Rotterdam-Genoa) and 2 (Rotterdam-Lyon). Insofar as these paths have not been requested inthe timetable, they remain available specifically for allocation by these corridor one-stop-shopsuntil the time of transfer to the traffic control organisation.f. Pursuant to Regulation (EU) No. 913/2010, railway undertakings must take into account that trainpaths on the international freight corridors 1 and 2 fall under the responsibility of the relevantcorridor organisations.Traffic changes due to management (VAB process)a. ProRail is responsible for the rescheduling of traffic for management purposes.b. The VAB process is subject to the rules that apply to ad hoc applications.c. ProRail will between 19 and 12 weeks before the start of work initiate coordination with thetitleholders in order to agree on a specification of traffic to be rescheduled. The objective is tooptimally allocate the detour requirement making use of the rest capacity of the detour routesections.d. ProRail manages the process of specifications for alternative timetables to ensure coordinationand timely availability (around 9 weeks before implementation).e. ProRail can process minor changes to the specifications (within the mandate provided by thetransport operators), without disturbing the commercial and logistical relationship, with a view tomaking optimal use of the rest capacity resulting from the possessions.f. In those cases that specifications cannot be processed within the set preconditions, ProRail willinitiate coordination with the parties involved.g. Point of departure is that the requirement for detour capacity entered in the timetable will, usingthe timetable process rules, be coordinated in the free capacity (after timetable allocation formanagement and traffic) of detour routes.h. If no consensus is achieved, ProRail and the titleholders involved will enter into a yet to be agreedprocedure to determine the allocation within 10 days.i. ProRail will in case of a dispute regarding capacity for work required by ProRail provide adequatesubstantiation of the usefulness and necessity of the required capacity.j. Once ProRail has determined the allocation (6-9 weeks before implementation) it can beprocessed in the planning systems.Capacity for work 58a. ProRail can acquire capacity for unscheduled maintenance during the annual timetable. Thisconcerns maintenance that is reasonably non-plannable on the closing date of the timetableapplication period and that cannot in all reasonableness be delayed until the next annualtimetable. Any changes to capacity allocated to traffic takes place subject to the rules for ad hoctraffic applications, meaning that permission of the capacity holder is required.b. Work, the performance of which is foreseen during the annual timetable, but which is not yetplannable on the closing date of the timetable application period, will be agreed in mutualconsultation at least 26 weeks before implementation. The processing of these applications isconcluded by recording the possession in the Donna planning system. For process controlreasons, no further changes can be made within 3 weeks before implementation.c. Following the timetable allocation, the titleholders and ProRail can request a change to thescheduling of work on grounds of unforeseen circumstances (in relation to the year plan) andunforeseen work. Point of departure is that the parties involved will cooperate in rescheduling;cooperation can only be denied on grounds of own operational interests.d. When formalising the manner and date of implementation it is possible that the furtherspecification does not fit in the capacity allocated in the annual timetable. Also, situations couldoccur in the project preparation and implementation which were not provided for when determining58The detailed steps are described in the ‘capacity allocation Management – Traffic’ procedure, available forconsultation on the website of ProRail (www.prorail.nl > vervoerders > capaciteit treinpaden > procedureverdeling).Network Statement 2014 Combined Network - version 1.0 dated 9 January 2013 page 54
the required capacity. ProRail will communicate this and consult with the titleholders involvedabout changes to the manner and dates of implementation. If no consensus is reached on theimplementation variant, the titleholders involved and ProRail commit themselves within 10 workingdays, using a procedure to be agreed upon at that time, to formulate an allocation variant that canbe agreed on. Precondition is that the work involved is performed in the 2014 Timetable.e. ProRail will in case of a dispute regarding capacity for work required by ProRail provide adequatesubstantiation of the usefulness and necessity of the required capacity.f. Work on the railways generally demands a (single) large possession and multiple smallerpossessions (for preparation and finishing work). These smaller possessions are implemented asmuch as possible in the maintenance roster. If the maintenance roster provides insufficientcapacity, ProRail will communicate this and determine the required capacity for preparation andfinishing work no later than 13 weeks before implementation. ProRail will consult with thetitleholders involved on how to fit in the extra required capacity; if no consensus can be reached,the procedure for handling of the dispute as referred to in the previous paragraph also applies.The purpose of the above provisions is to make optimal use of the large possessions, which fitwithin the national context.g. The titleholders or ProRail can make their permission subject to the condition that compensation isprovided for the negative consequences that they experience through deviation from the earlierallocated capacity. Such compensation is limited to direct operational costs, accompanied byproper substantiation and specification.h. In case of (potential) disruptions or irregularities 59 that constitute a (potential) threat 60 ,maintenance is required and titleholders lose their capacity rights in order to allow theperformance of work (repairs, urgent replacements, etc.) for restoration/assurance of safe anduninterrupted train traffic. ProRail will strive to carry out this work as much as possible within themaintenance roster.4.4.2 Dispute resolution processCoordination involves technical consultation between experts. Experts can have a difference ofopinion resulting in a deadlock in case of a conflict. In order to maintain progress in the capacityallocation process, there is a dispute resolution scheme that produces a decision within 10 workingdays.By applying the scheme described in this paragraph, ProRail complies with the provisions of Article 21Paragraph 6 of Directive 2001/14/EC.An applicant or ProRail can initiate the dispute resolution process during the coordination phase of theannual timetable up to 10 working days before determining of the capacity allocation for the annualtimetable.A titleholder can also invoke the dispute resolution regulations if it feels prejudiced by the manner inwhich ProRail, in determining the capacity allocation, has deviated from the draft timetable presentedby ProRail on an earlier occasion; in such a case, the titleholder must invoke the dispute resolutionregulations within 5 working days of determination of the capacity allocation by ProRail.The dispute resolution procedure prescribes a meeting whereby the parties involved will be offered afair hearing with the objective of resolving the conflict. If no solution is achieved, the chairman willpronounce his decision - to the Allocation Table - within 10 working days of the dispute beingsubmitted. This decision then serves as the point of departure for further coordination. ProRail will actas chairman in case of conflicting applications between titleholders (traffic/traffic). In case of a conflictbetween an application by a titleholder and the required capacity for scheduled work on or near thenetwork or the maintenance roster, the dispute will be handled by a chairman independent of ProRail,who will be appointed by ProRail with the approval of the titleholders. Handling of the dispute will inthat case produce an advice from which ProRail may only for good reasons deviate in its capacityallocation. ProRail will communicate these reasons to the titleholders involved.5960To be ascertained on the basis of inspections, notifications, disruptions, etc.This constitutes a further specification of the situation "in case of emergency" as referred to in Article 8Paragraph 3 of the General Terms & Conditions.Network Statement 2014 Combined Network - version 1.0 dated 9 January 2013 page 55
