IL-KUMMISSJONI EWROPEA,
Wara li kkunsidrat it-Trattat dwar il-Funzjonament tal-Unjoni Ewropea,
Wara li kkunsidrat id- Direttiva 2008/57/KE tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill tas-17 ta' Ġunju 2008 dwar l-interoperabilità tas-sistema ferrovjarja fil-Komunità (1), u b'mod partikolari l-Artikolu (6) tagħha,
Billi:
(1)
Bid-Deċiżjoni C (2010) 2576 (2), il-Kummissjoni tat lill-Aġenzija Ferrovjarja Ewropea (l-Aġenzija) mandat biex tiżviluppa u tirrevedi l-ispeċifikazzjonijiet tekniċi għall-interoperabbiltà (TSI) bil-għan li testendi l-kamp ta' applikazzjoni tagħhom għas-sistema ferrovjarja kollha fl-Unjoni skont l-Artikolu 1(4) tad-Direttiva 2008/57/KE. Fl-10 ta' Jannar 2013, l-Aġenzija ressqet ir-rakkomandazzjoni tagħha li temenda l-ispeċifikazzjoni teknika għall-interoperabbiltà relatata mas-subsistemi tal-kontroll-kmand u s-sinjalazzjoni tas-sistema ferrovjarja trans-Ewropea.
(2)
Skont l-Artikolu 8(4) tad-Direttiva 2008/57/KE dwar l-estensjoni tal-kamp tal-applikazzjoni ta' TSIs, Stat Membru m'għandux japplika t-TSI riveduta fil-każ ta' proġetti fi stat avvanzat ta' żvilupp jew li jkunu suġġetti għal xi kuntratt li jkun qed jitwettaq, li kien barra mill-kamp tal-applikazzjoni tat-TSIs preċedenti.
(3)
It-TSI riveduta dwar il-kontroll-kmand u s-sinjalazzjoni (CCS TSI) għandha tapplika għal netwerks b'wisa' nominali ta' bejn il-linji ta' 1 435 mm, 1 520 mm, 1 524 mm, 1 600 mm, and 1 668 mm Dan jipprovdi għall-interoperabilità fi ħdan sistemi b'wisa' waħda (one-track-gauge) u jagħmilha possibbli li jiġu żviluppati u operati vetturi għal wisgħat metriċi multipli. Jagħmilha wkoll possibbli li jiġu żviluppati u użati subsistemi tal-kontroll-kmand u tas-sinjalizzazzjoni u l-kostitwenti tal-interoperabilità indipendentement mill-wisa' bejn il-linji. Perċentwal għoli ta' vetturi jivjaġġaw sew fuq in-netwerk ferrovjarju trans-Ewropew u fuq in-netwerk ferrovjarju li mhuwiex parti mit-TEN. Il-parametri tas-subsistemi tal-kontroll-kmand u tas-sinjalazzjoni abbord u mal-binarji għandhom għalhekk ikunu l-istess għan-netwerk kollu.
(4)
Ċerti punti miftuħa relatati mal-kompatibilità tas-sistemi tal-lokalizzazzjoni tal-ferroviji jistgħu jingħalqu, filwaqt li jiġu kkunsidrati r-rekwiżiti għall-qisien standard tal-binarju differenti (speċifikazzjoni referenzjata bħala indiċi 77 fl-Anness A). Il-punt miftuħ dwar ir-rekwiżiti tas-sikurezza għall-funzjoni tal-Interfaċċa ECTS Sewwieq-Magna (DMI) jista' jingħalaq u sar progress biex jiġi ċċarat il-punt miftuħ dwar l-“affidabbiltà/disponibbiltà”.
(5)
Id-dispożizzjonijiet dwar il-valutazzjoni tal-kostitwenti tal-interoperabilità u tas-subsistemi, fil-każ fejn ir-rekwiżiti huma parzjalment sodisfati, jeħtieġ li jiġu ċċarati.
(6)
Fir-rwol ta' awtorità tas-sistema għas-Sistema Ewropea tal-Ġestjoni tat-Traffiku Ferrovjarju (ERTMS), l-Aġenzija ħejjiet aġġornament tal-ispeċifikazzjonijiet ERTMS obbligatorji referenzjati fl-Anness A tat-TSI tas-CCS. Sakemm l-ispeċifikazzjonijiet relatati mal-interfaċċa ferrovjarja (FFFIS) jilħqu, fuq iż-żewġ naħat tal-interfaċċa, livell ta' kunsens fost il-partijiet ikkonċernati kollha biex jitqiesu bħala obbligatorji, l-Aġenzija għandha tirreferi għalihom fil-gwida għall-applikazzjoni sabiex ikunu jistgħu jintużaw fis-sejħa għall-offerti.
(7)
L-Aġenzija għandha tippubblika speċifikazzjonijiet tat-testijiet relatati mal-linja bażi 3 malajr kemm jista' jkun.
(8)
Instabu żbalji fit-test tad-Deċiżjoni tal-Kummissjoni 2012/88/UE (3) u jeħtieġ li jiġu kkoreġuti.
(9)
Id-disponibbiltà u l-kwalità ta' sinjali GSM-R hija essenzjali għall-operazzjonijiet ferrovjarji.
(10)
Ir-roaming GSM-R għal netwerks pubbliċi hija funzjoni fakultattiva. Jekk jintuża fi Stat Membru, l-implimentazzjoni tiegħu għandha tkun indikata fil-linja numru 1.1.1.3.3.3 tar-reġistru tal-infrastruttura ferrovjarja skont id-Deċiżjoni ta' Implimentazzjoni tal-Kummissjoni 2014/880/EU (4).
(11)
Il-miżuri stipulati f'din id-Deċiżjoni huma konformi mal-opinjoni tal-Kumitat stabbilit skont l-Artikolu 29(1) tad-Direttiva 2008/57/KE,

“4.2.1.2 Availability/Reliability
This section refers to the occurrence of failure modes not causing safety hazards but creating degraded situations, the management of which could decrease the overall safety of the system.
In the context of this parameter, ‘failure’ means the termination of the ability of an item to perform a required function with the required performance and ‘failure mode’ means the effect by which the failure is observed.
To ensure that the relevant infrastructure managers and railway undertakings are given all the information they need to define appropriate procedures for managing degraded situations, the technical file accompanying the EC declaration of verification for an on-board or track-side CCS subsystem shall contain the calculated availability/reliability values related to failure modes having an impact on the capability of the CCS subsystem to supervise the safe movement of one or more vehicles or to establish radio voice communication between traffic control and the train drivers.
Compliance with the following calculated values shall be ensured:
(1)
Mean time of hours of operation between failures of a CCS on-board subsystem requiring the isolation of the train protection functions: [open point];
(2)
Mean time of hours of operation between failures of a CCS on-board subsystem preventing radio voice communication between traffic control and the train driver: [open point].
To allow the infrastructure managers and railway undertakings to monitor, during the life of the subsystems, the level of risk and the respect of the reliability/availability values used for the definition of procedures to manage degraded situations, the requirements for maintenance stated in Section 4.5 (Maintenance rules) shall be respected”

“With regard to checking if essential requirements are fulfilled through compliance with the basic parameters, and without prejudice to the obligations set out in Chapter 7 of this TSI, control-command and signalling interoperability constituents and subsystems that do not implement all functions, performance and interfaces as specified in Chapter 4 (including the specifications referred to in Annex A), can obtain EC certificates of conformity or, respectively, EC certificates of verification, under the following conditions for issuing and using the certificates:
(1)
The applicant for EC verification of a track-side control-command and signalling subsystem is responsible for deciding which functions, performance and interfaces need to be implemented to meet the objectives for the service and to ensure that no requirements contradicting or exceeding the TSIs are exported to the on-board control-command and signalling subsystems;
(2)
The operation of an on-board control-command and signalling subsystem, that does not implement all functions, performance and interfaces specified in this TSI, may be subject to conditions or restrictions due to compatibility and/or safe integration with track-side control-command and signalling subsystems. Without prejudice to the tasks of a notified body described in respective EU legislation and related documents, the applicant for EC verification is responsible for ensuring that the technical file provides all the information that an operator needs to identify such conditions and restrictions;
(3)
The Member State may refuse for duly justified reasons the authorisation for placing in service, or place conditions and restrictions on the operation, of control-command and signalling subsystems that do not implement all functions, performance and interfaces specified in this TSI.
If some essential requirements are fulfilled by national rules or if a control-command and signalling interoperability constituent or subsystem does not implement all functions, performance and interfaces specified in this TSI, the provisions of section 6.4.2 shall apply.”

“6.4 Provisions in case of the partial fulfilment TSI requirements
6.4.1 Assessment of parts of control-command and signalling subsystems
Pursuant to Article 18(5) of the Railway Interoperability Directive, the notified body may issue certificates of verification for certain parts of a subsystem, if allowed to do so under the relevant TSI.
As pointed out in section 2.2 (Scope) of this TSI, the track-side control-command and signalling subsystem contains three parts, while the on-board control-command and signalling subsystem contains two parts, specified in section 4.1 (Introduction).
A certificate of verification may be issued for each part specified in this TSI; the notified body only checks if that particular part fulfils the TSI requirements.
Regardless of which module is chosen, the notified body shall check that:
(1)
the TSI requirements for the part in question have been fulfilled and
(2)
the TSI requirements already assessed for other parts of the same subsystem are still fulfilled.
6.4.2 Control-command and signalling subsystems' partial fulfilment of the requirements due to limited application of the TSI.
If some essential requirements are fulfilled by national rules, the EC certificate of conformity for an interoperability constituent and the EC certificate of verification for a subsystem shall make precise reference to the parts of this TSI whose conformity has been assessed and the parts whose conformity has not been assessed.
If an interoperability constituent does not implement all functions, performance and interfaces specified in this TSI, an EC certificate of conformity may only be issued if the unimplemented functions, interfaces or performance are not required to integrate the interoperability constituent into a subsystem for the use indicated by the applicant, for example (*),
(a)
the on-board ERTMS/ETCS interface to STM if the interoperability constituent is intended for installation on vehicles in which no external STM is needed,
(b)
the RBC interface to other RBCs, if the RBC is intended for use in an application for which no neighbouring RBCs are planned.
The EC certificate of conformity (or accompanying documents) for the interoperability constituent shall fulfil all the following requirements:
(a)
it indicates which functions, interfaces or performance are not implemented,
(b)
it provides enough information to make it possible to identify the conditions under which the interoperability constituent can be used,
(c)
it provides enough information to make it possible to identify the conditions of and restriction on the use that will apply to the interoperability of a subsystem incorporating it.
If a control-command and signalling subsystem does not implement all functions, performance and interfaces of this TSI (e.g. because they are not implemented by an interoperability constituent integrated into it), the EC certificate of verification shall indicate which requirements have been assessed and the corresponding conditions and restrictions on the use of the subsystem and its compatibility with other subsystems.
In any event, notified bodies shall coordinate with the Agency the way in which conditions and limits of use of interoperability constituents and subsystems are managed in the relevant certificates and technical files in the working group set up under Article 21a (5) of Regulation (EC) No 881/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (**).
6.4.3 Intermediate Statement of Verification.
If conformity is assessed for parts of subsystems specified by the applicant and different from the parts allowed by section 4.1 (Introduction) of this TSI, or if only certain stages of the verification procedure have been performed, only an intermediate statement of verification may be issued.
(*) The procedures described in this Chapter do not prejudice the possibility of grouping constituents together." 						
(**) Regulation (EC) No 881/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 establishing a European Railway Agency (Agency Regulation) (OJ L 164, 30.4.2004, p. 1).”"
