THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE,

Having regard to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (‘the EEA Agreement’), and in particular Article 98 thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Commission Regulation (EU) No 1301/2014 of 18 November 2014 on the technical specifications for interoperability relating to the ‘energy’ subsystem of the rail system in the Union (1), as corrected by OJ L 13, 20.1.2015, p. 13, is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.












(2)


Annex XIII to the EEA Agreement should therefore be amended accordingly,





HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:



Article 1

The following shall be inserted after section 7.4.2.11.1. of the Annex:






7.4.2.12.


Particular features on the Norwegian network










7.4.2.12.1.


Assessment of mean useful voltage (6.2.4.1)
P case




Alternatively to assessment of mean useful voltage according to EN 50388:2012, clause 15.4, the power supply performance is also allowed to be assessed by:






—


A comparison with a reference where the power supply solution has been used for a similar or more demanding train schedule. The reference shall have a similar or larger:






—


distance to the voltage controlled bus bar (frequency converter station),










—


impedance of the OCL system.














—


A rough estimation of U(mean useful)
 for simple cases resulting in an increased additional capacity for future traffic demands.’
                                       














Article 2
The texts of Regulation (EU) No 1301/2014, as corrected by OJ L 13, 20.1.2015, p. 13, in the Icelandic and Norwegian languages, to be published in the EEA Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union, shall be authentic.
