GUIDE FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE DIRECTIVE ON THE INTEROPERABILITY OF ELECTRONIC ROAD TOLL SYSTEMS 2. Member States shall apply the criteria provided for in Annex V for the assessment of the bodies to be notified [...]’ Comments: For further information on the accreditation of conformity assessment bodies, on the conformity assessment modules and on the application of certain national technical rules, see: • Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 setting out the requirements for accreditation and market surveillance relating to the marketing of products and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 339/93 (OJ L 218, 13.8.2008, pp. 30–47); • Decision No 768/2008/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 on a common framework for the marketing of products, and repealing Council Decision 93/465/EEC (OJ L 218, 13.8.2008, pp. 82–128); • Regulation (EC) No 764/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 laying down procedures relating to the application of certain national technical rules to products lawfully marketed in another Member State and repealing Decision No 3052/95/EC (OJ L 218, 13.8.2008, pp. 21–29). See Annex 3 to this guide for a link to the list of bodies notified in relation to the assessment of EETS interoperability constituents’ conformity to specifications and suitability for use. • Article 19: Registers ‘1. For the purposes of the implementation of this Decision, each Member State shall keep a national electronic register of the following: 8 (a) […] the EETS domains within their territory, including information relating to: — the EETS Providers having EETS contracts with the Toll Chargers active in their area of competence. […] (b) the EETS Providers to whom it has granted registration […] […] […] 3. The registers shall be electronically accessible to the public.’ […] Comments: To foster information dissemination and enhance competition, the Commission decision requires that the publicly accessible EETS domains registers include information relating to the EETS Providers active on each domain. For their part EETS Providers will obviously endeavour to publicise their services to their target customers segment. • Articles 10 and 11: Establishment of a conciliation body ‘10(1) Each Member State with at least one EETS domain shall designate or establish a Conciliation Body in order to facilitate mediation between Toll Chargers with a toll domain located within its territory and EETS Providers which have contracts or are in contractual negotiations with those Toll Chargers. The Conciliation Body shall especially be empowered to examine
whether the contractual conditions imposed by a Toll Charger on different EETS Providers are non-discriminatory and a fair reflection of the costs and risks of the parties to the contract. 10(2) That Member State shall take the necessary measures to ensure that its Conciliation Body is independent in its organisation and legal structure from the commercial interests of Toll Chargers and EETS Providers. [...] 11(4) In order to facilitate its tasks, Member States shall empower the Conciliation Body to request relevant information from Toll Chargers, EETS Providers and any third parties active in the provision of EETS within the Member State concerned. [...]’ Comments: To provide a faster alternative for dispute resolution to the traditional juridical procedures, Member States shall establish a body in charge of facilitating mediation between Toll Chargers and EETS Providers within the field of EETS. These bodies shall be empowered with the right to examine the contractual conditions between EETS Providers and Toll Chargers. It may designate a pre-existing mediation body to carry out these functions. These bodies shall be independent in their organisation and legal structure from the interests of any Toll Charger or EETS Provider. This does not prevent a part of the Member State’s administration to be dedicated to this conciliation role, even where the Member State is assuming the Toll Charger’s role, directly or through a delegated structure, subject to the necessary independence being guaranteed, as required by Article 10(2). In Member States where no EETS domain exists, there is no need for a conciliation body. 2.2.2.2. Rights and duties of Toll Chargers • Article 5(1): Compatibility to EETS 9 ‘1. Where an EETS domain does not comply with the technical and procedural EETS interoperability conditions set by Directive 2004/52/EC and this Decision, the responsible Toll Charger shall assess the problem with the involved stakeholders and, if within its sphere of responsibilities, take remedial actions in view to ensure EETS interoperability of the toll system. If the case arises, the Toll Charger shall inform the Member State in order to update the register referred to under Article 19(1)(a).’ Comments: To allow for the creation of EETS as required by Article 1(3) of Directive 2004/52/EC (see Section 2.2.1.1 above), Toll Chargers whose toll domains fall under the scope of the directive shall ensure that their systems provide sufficient interoperability conditions for EETS to exist. Toll Chargers are responsible for taking remedial actions if an assessment of the problems with other involved stakeholders shows that their systems do not provide sufficient interoperability conditions. These remedial actions could concern both material and immaterial interoperability constituents (for example DSRC devices as well as software updates). Toll Chargers may have interest in adapting their enforcement systems to EETS. • Article 5.2: EETS domain statement ‘2. Each Toll Charger shall develop and maintain an EETS domain statement setting out the general conditions for EETS Providers for accessing their toll domains, in accordance with Annex I.’ Comments: In order to facilitate the deployment of EETS, Toll Chargers shall publish all information necessary to prepare and ensure interoperability between EETS Providers and Toll Chargers. This statement shall include technical specifications as well as generic contractual terms (see Chapter 5 of this guide for further details).
