(9) National rules, which are often based on national technical standards, have been gradually replaced by rules based on common standards, established by CSTs, CSMs and technical specifications for interoperability (TSIs). In order to eliminate the obstacles to interoperability, the amount of national rules should be reduced as a consequence of extending the scope of the TSIs to the whole Union’s rail system and of closing open points in the TSIs. For this purpose the Member States shouldmust keep their system of national rules updated, delete obsolete rules and thereof inform the Commission and the the Agency thereof without delay.
