Recital 8
(8) In order to enssecure equal access to the infrastructure, any conflicts of interest resulting from integrated structures encompassing infrastructure management and transport activities should be removed. Removing incentives to discriminate against competitors is the only way to guarantee equal access to the railway infrastructure. It key role is played by the national regulatory body which is independent in its organisation, funding decisions, legal structure and decision- making from any infrastructure manager, charging body, allocation body and notified body. It must therefore be given corresponding powers. Only in this way can fair competition be guaranteed. Independent regulation is a requirement for the successful opening of the market for domestic passenger transport services by rail. This should also reFurthermovre the potential should be removed for cross-subsidisation, which exists in such integrated structures, and which also leads to market distortions.
