6.—(1) Subject to paragraph (2), an international grouping or railway undertaking is entitled, for the purposes of the rail activities referred to in regulation 5, to track access to and the supply of services in terminals and ports linked to the rail network which serve, or potentially serve, more than one final customer.

(2) Requests by international groupings and railway undertakings, in accordance with the entitlements conferred by paragraph (1), may be subject to restrictions only if viable alternatives by rail under market conditions exist.

(4) Without prejudice to the generality of regulation 29, if an international grouping or railway undertaking is denied the entitlements conferred on it by this regulation, or if the entitlements are made subject to restrictions other than in accordance with paragraph (2), that international grouping or railway undertaking has a right of appeal to the Office of Rail Regulation in accordance with regulation 29.
