Appendix 1

The Annex to Directive 2000 /9/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 is rendered. This is March 2000 on rail transport for passenger transport.

DIRECTIVE 2000 /9/EF OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

Of 20. March 2000

on rail road and rail transport facilities

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION HAVE-

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 47 (4) thereof, Article 55 (2) and Articles 55 and 95,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 2) ,

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee 3) ,

Acting in accordance with Article 251 of the Treaty, 4) , and

in the following considerations :

(1) The train station for passenger transport, hereinafter referred to as ' two-railway facilities `, is being constructed, used and operated for the purpose of deforestation ; two railway installations are mainly the carriage of vehicles used on holiday destinations in the mountains ; whereas rail lines, cable lifts, cabin lifts, lifts, lifts, lifts, but may also be two-railway facilities forming part of urban transport systems ; whereas certain types of installations may be based on completely other basic principles which cannot be excluded from the outset ; whereas it is therefore possible to introduce special requirements with the same security objectives as those which are provided for in this Directive.

(2) The operation of railway stations is essentially linked to tourism, especially in mountainous areas, and tourism is of major importance for the economy of the regions affected and is given greater and greater importance for the Member States ' trade balance ; from a technical point of view, the rail sector linked both to the capital investment industry and to the construction sector.

(3) Member States shall monitor the safety of railway installations during construction, in the commissioning and under operation ; in addition, together with the local authorities, the responsibility for land rights, physical planning and environmental protection ; Member States ; Whereas rules show significant differences as a result of the technical processes used in the industry of each Member State and local customs and know-how ; they contain provisions on dimensions and devices, as well as special characteristics ; this situation forces manufacturers to change their products ; specifications for each market shall hinder the provision of standard solutions and damage the competitiveness of manufacturers.

(4) Compliance with the essential requirements for safety and health is an absolute precondition for guaranteeing the safety of train installations ; these requirements must be implemented with common sense, taking into account the technological state at the time of the time of execution ; as well as technical and economic conditions.

(5) The train station can also be transboundary, and the construction of them can then be made more difficult by the conflicting provisions of individual Member States.

(6) The basic requirements relating to the safety and health of persons, environmental protection and consumer protection to the whole Community should be laid down for the whole Community ; whereas without any basic requirements, they would be required to protect the environment and to protect their safety components ; Whereas mutual recognition of the rules of the individual Member States is both technical and politically insolubiliable in terms of interpretation and accountability ; in addition, standardisation alone cannot solve the problems that arise without first being the case ; laid down a framework in the form of harmonised regulatory requirements.

(7) The responsibility of each Member State to approve two railway stations as a general rule to a service under the competent authorities ; in some cases, the components may not be approved beforehand, but only at your request ; moreover, the compulsory verification before the train station is used, leading to the rejection of certain components or certain technical solutions ; such situations lead to increased costs and prolonged delivery releases and are extraordinarily burdensome ; in particular for foreign manufacturers, including during the operation, the public authorities are responsible ; authorities strict control of two-railway installations ; the causes of serious accidents can be found in the choice of location, in the real transport system, in the fixed installations or in the manner in which the system operates and maintained.

(8) In this light, it may be established that the safety of the two railway installations depends on the conditions on the spot and the quality of the industrial equipment and the way in which this is being joined, to be recorded on the ground and under surveillance. whereas this underlines the importance of a two-point railway station to be considered as a whole in the assessment of safety levels and that a common approach is established at Community level for quality assurance ; for that reason, it is necessary to provide the manufacturers will be able to overcome the difficulties they are currently facing, and in order to provide Whereas users are able to obtain the highest possible yield and, furthermore, ensure the same level of development in each Member State, a set of requirements and a number of procedures for checking and verification are developed, which are applied uniformly in all Member States.

(9) People from all the Member States and from other countries that use train station facilities must have a guarantee that safety levels are satisfactory ; this requirement requires a number of procedures and a number of investigations, control and verification methods ; this involves the use of standardised technical equipment intended to be incorporated into two railway stations.

(10) If required by Directive 85 /337/EEC; 5) an assessment of the environmental effects of two railway trains must be carried out, even outside the framework of the said directive, account must be taken of both environmental and environmental protection and the sustainable development of tourism.

(11) Tovgroundplants may be covered by Council Directive 93 /38/EEC of 14. June 1993 on the coordination of procedures for procurement procedures in the field of water and energy supply, as well as transport and telecommunications, 6) .

(12) The technical specifications must be specified in the general documents or in the tender documents in relation to each contract ; the technical specifications must be determined by reference to European specifications where such are available.

(13) Harmonized European standards helps to make it easier to demonstrate that the essential requirements are met, with a product which complies with these standards, is presumed to satisfy the essential requirements ; the harmonized ; European standards shall be prepared by private organisations and must be optional ; the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) and the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation (Cenelec) have been designated as bodies with the competence of the competent authority ; adopt harmonised standards on the basis of the general guidelines for : the cooperation between the Commission and these two organisations, which was signed on 13. November 1984.

(14) In the case of harmonised standards, this Directive means a technical specification (European standard or harmonisation document), which, at the request of the Commission, is determined by one of these organisations or both in accordance with Directive 98 /34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22. June 1998 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations and rules on information society services ; 7) Whereas, in accordance with the general guidelines referred to above, it is appropriate that the Commission shall be assisted by the Committee referred to in that Directive ; the Committee may, if necessary, seek advice from technical experts.

(15) Only the safety components or subsystems of an installation in accordance with a national standard carrying out a harmonised standard, if the reference is published in : Official Journal of the European Communities are presumed to be in accordance with the essential requirements of this Directive, without any special justification.

(16) There are no European specifications, as far as possible the technical specifications must be laid down by reference to other standards applied in the Community ; the developers may lay down the additional specifications necessary for : supplementing the European specifications or the other standards ; in any case, these provisions must make it possible to ensure compliance with Community harmonised requirements to be met by rail-rail installations.

(17) Member States also have an interest in the existence of an international standardisation system capable of bringing standards actually used by the participants in the international trade and who live up to the Community policies ; requirements.

(18) In certain Member States, the developers may, at the present time in the general documents or in the tender documents in the context of each contract, carry out the checks and verification procedures ; in the future, these procedures shall be subject to such procedures, in particular : The safety components shall be located within the framework of the Council Resolution of 21. December 1989 on a global approach to conformity assessment 8) Whereas the concept of a security component includes both material objects and intangible objects such as software, the procedures for assessing the conformity of safety components, based on the modules laid down in Decision 93 /465/EC, 9) Whereas, in the case of safety components, principles and conditions for the use of quality assurance in the design phase should be laid down ; this precaution is necessary in order to facilitate the general dissemination of the quality assurance system ; Companion.

(19) In the framework of the methodical safety analysis of a train station installation, the components that are essential to its security shall be determined.

(20) The Builders shall lay down in the tender dossier, in particular for the safety components and in the name of the European specifications, which specification manufacturers must comply with in accordance with the agreements ; that is, the components of the components, shall be principally linked to their scope and not only to their free movement within the Community market.

(21) Safety components should be provided with CE conformity marking, placed either by the manufacturer or by his authorised representative established within the Community ; the CE conformity marking means that the safety component is in compliance with the provisions of this Directive and with other relevant Community Directives, which shall provide for the marking of the CE conformity marking.

(22) The CE conformity marking of subsystems covered by this Directive is not required ; it is sufficient to have the conformity assessment carried out in accordance with the requirements laid down in this Directive, the procedure shall be issued by a EC declaration of conformity ; this shall not affect the obligation on the manufacturer to affix the CE conformity marking to certain subsystems to document their compliance with other relevant Community legislation.

(23) The responsibility of the Member States for safety, health and other aspects covered by the essential requirements in their territory shall be recognised in a safeguard clause, in which appropriate Community procedures have been established.

(24) It is necessary to have a procedure for verification of the subsystems in an installation before the commissioning process ; this verification should enable the competent authorities to ensure that the results obtained at any time during construction should be ensured ; Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of this Directive, the construction and entry into service is in accordance with the provisions of this Directive ; it should also provide manufacturers with guarantees of equal treatment in all Member States ; whereas it is therefore necessary to draw up principles and conditions for EC testing ; the subsystems of a two-railway station.

(25) In the context of the security survey, account should be taken of the requirements for the operation of railway installations, but neither the principle of free movement of goods or the safety of rail stations should be contested ; therefore, the Commission must, even though the directive, does not relate to the operation of railway installations, to correct a number of recommendations to the Member States to ensure that the operations of the railway installations located in their territory shall give users, operating staff and third parties a high level of protection.

(26) Technological renewals in the field of railway installations can be tested only in the real size of a new train station ; therefore, a procedure should be provided to provide for the establishment of special conditions, but at the same time ; ensure compliance with the essential requirements.

(27) Tovgroundplants which have already been granted approval, but whose construction has not yet been started or which is already under construction, shall be in accordance with this Directive, unless the Member States take a different reasoned decision ; whereas an equally high level of protection is guaranteed ; by the conversion of existing rail installations, the provisions of this Directive must be complied with if the conversion of the conversion is required under the rules of the Member State concerned.

(28) It is not necessary to require that all existing railway installations be brought into line with the provisions for new railway installations ; however, this may prove necessary if the essential safety targets are not complied with ; in this case, it is appropriate ; The Commission shall make a number of recommendations to the Member States in order to ensure that the railway installations located in their territory provide a high level of protection in accordance with the provisions laid down in this field for new rail installations.

(29) The notified bodies responsible for conformity assessment, be it of safety components or of subsystems in train facilities, should coordinate their decisions as closely as possible, in particular where European specifications are not available ; The Commission should ensure that this is done.

(30) The implementation of the essential requirements, in particular with regard to the safety of installations and of the procedural coordination, presupts that a special committee be set up.

(31) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Directive should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999 /468/EC of 28. June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission 10) -
