(2) The circumstances and cases are—
(a)for a proposed new line, for the renewal or upgrading of an existing line, or any element referred to in article 1(1) of the High-Speed Directive or article 1(1) of the Conventional Directive, which is at an advanced stage of development or is the subject of a contract in the course of performance when the relevant TSI is published;
(b)for any project concerning the renewal or upgrading of an existing line where the loading gauge, track gauge, space between tracks, or electrification voltage in the relevant TSI is not compatible with those of the existing line;
(c)for a proposed new line or for the proposed renewal or upgrading of an existing line where the rail network is separated or isolated by the sea from the rail network of the rest of the Community;
(d)for any proposed renewal, extension or upgrading of an existing line when the application of a relevant TSI would compromise the economic viability of the project or the compatibility of the rail system;
(e)following an accident or natural disaster, where the conditions for the rapid restoration of the network do not economically or technically allow for partial or total application of a relevant TSI.

(5) In the circumstances or cases set out in paragraph (2)(d) a derogation shall have no effect unless the derogation has been permitted by the Commission before commencement of the physical construction of the project in which the subsystem or interoperability constituent is to be used.
