   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Directive 2008/57/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 on the interoperability of the rail system within the Community (1), and in particular Article 27(4) thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               On 30 November 2009 the Commission adopted Decision 2009/965/EC (2) with a list of parameters to be used for classifying national rules in the reference document referred to in Article 27 of Directive 2008/57/EC.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               On the basis of a recommendation of the European Railway Agency (the Agency), the revision of the list of parameters is needed to make it coherent with the revised technical specification for interoperability (‘TSI’) on rolling stock, freight wagons, locomotives and passenger rolling stock, noise, infrastructure, energy, control-command and signalling, operation and traffic management, telematic applications for freight and passenger services, safety on railway tunnels and accessibility to persons with reduced mobility.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               In order to allow comparison and cross-referencing, in respect of a particular parameter, between the requirements contained within the revised TSIs and those contained in national rules, the list of parameters to be checked in conjunction with the placing in service of non-TSI conform vehicles, should, on the one hand, preserve compatibility with, and build upon existing agreements based on national rules and, on the other hand, reflect the revised TSIs. It is therefore necessary for the list of parameters to be updated. To ensure a harmonised understanding and application of the list, additional explanation should be added. It is appropriate to adopt the detailed list of parameters, prepared on the basis of the recommendation of the Agency (ERA-REC-118-2014/REC) of 11 November 2014, as the basis for the reference document referred to in Article 27(4) of Directive 2008/57/EC.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               Decision 2009/965/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               For the sake of clarity, the reference document referred to in Article 27(4) of Directive 2008/57/EC and described in Commission Decision 2011/155/EU (3) should be updated accordingly.
            
         
               (6)
            
            
               The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established in accordance with Article 29(1) of Directive 2008/57/EC,
            
         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
