EU Directives are published on this site to aid cross referencing from UK legislation. Since IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.) no amendments have been applied to this version.
1. In addition to the requirements of this Directive, a railway undertaking shall also comply with national law and regulatory provisions which are compatible with Community law and are applied in a non-discriminatory manner, in particular:
(a) specific technical and operational requirements for rail services;
(b) safety requirements applying to staff, rolling stock and the internal organisation of the undertaking;
(c) provisions on health, safety, social conditions and the rights of workers and consumers;
(d) requirements applying to all undertakings in the relevant railway sector designed to offer benefits or protection to consumers.
2. A railway undertaking may at any time refer to the Commission the question of the compatibility of the requirements of national law with Community law and also the question of whether such requirements are applied in a non-discriminatory manner. If the Commission considers that the provisions of this Directive have not been fulfilled, it shall deliver an opinion on the correct interpretation of the Directive without prejudice to Article 226 of the Treaty.]
