It also contains information on the railwayinfrastructure, capacity allocation procedures and user charges. Moreover, the Network Statementdescribes the services provided by ProRail.1.3 Legal frameworkThe Network Statement 2014 is a network statement within the meaning of Section 58 of the RailwaysAct, and Article 3 of Directive 2001/14/EC 5 .1.4 Legal status1.4.1 General remarksThe Network Statement is based on legislation officially published on 1 November 2012, the cominginto force of which was also officially announced before or on that date. The Network Statement 2014does not anticipate legislation and regulations that are still under development.Betuwe RouteWithin the framework of the Management Concession, the Betuwe Route - the dedicated freight linefrom Maasvlakte via Kijfhoek to Zevenaar - is operated by Keyrail, whereby ProRail as managementconcession holder has exclusive responsibility for compliance with the statutory managementobligations.The Network Statement 2014 is issued in two separate parts, namely the "Network Statement 2014Betuwe Route" with information about the Betuwe Route, and the "Network Statement 2014 CombinedNetwork", which contains information about the other railways managed by ProRail, hereafter referredto as the combined network. Together, these two parts constitute the Network Statement as referredto in Section 58 of the Railways Act, which is managed by ProRail on grounds of the ManagementConcession.The Network Statement 2014 Betuwe Route is drawn up and issued on behalf of ProRail by Keyrail,which on 12 December 2008 has been authorised by ProRail to exercise the specified powers ofProRail as the holder of the concession. The text of the underlying deed of authorisation will be madeavailable, free of charge, to titleholders on request.Reading guide - information about the binding character of provisions in the Network Statement.The Network Statement contains provisions that impose obligations on titleholders. Those provisionshave been made easily identifiable. The following structure is applied:• Summaries about public law regulations.These summaries can be found under the heading ‘Summary of regulations’ (red typeface) andbetween ►red triangles◄. Note: the officially published texts always prevail, also if ProRail givesan incorrect or incomplete summary.• Provisions with regard to subjects about which ProRail wishes to reach agreement with titleholdersbefore the titleholders make use of the infrastructure (with relevant proposals).These provisions can be found under the heading ‘Regulations to be agreed upon:’ (blue typeface)and between ►blue triangles◄. These regulations solely give rise to obligations once partiesenter into the Access Agreement.• Provisions about the rules of procedure that apply to all titleholders.These rules of procedure can be found under the heading ‘Rules of procedure’ (green typeface)and between ►green triangles◄. ProRail has established the rules of procedure with a view tothe non-discriminatory treatment of all titleholders, following consultation of the titleholders and5Directive 2001/14/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 26 February 2001 on the allocation ofrailway infrastructure capacity and the levy of charges for use of the railway infrastructure.Network Statement 2014 Combined Network - version 1.0 dated 9 January 2013 page 6
with due consideration for their opinions. The rules of procedure are not individually negotiableand can only be changed by means of a supplement to the Network Statement. An application forcapacity brings the rules of procedure into play.Data of an informative nature, which does not give rise to obligations for titleholders, will be included inthe Network Statement without further specific heading or typeface.Consultation and distributionProRail has drawn up the Network Statement 2014 following consultation with the titleholders involved(see appendix 3). The publication of the Network Statement 2014 was announced in the NetherlandsGovernment Gazette and in Nieuwsblad Transport.
