Pleas in law and main arguments
The Czech Republic has infringed Article 4(1) of Directive 2001/14/EC by laying down a maximum amount for charges for the use of infrastructure, which the infrastructure manager may not exceed. The infrastructure manager is required to carry out the imposition and levying of charges for the use of infrastructure in accordance with the provisions of Article 4(1) of Directive 2001/14/EC. Member States are entitled only to lay down the framework of charges for the use of infrastructure.
The Czech Republic has infringed Article 6(2) of Directive 2001/14/EC by failing to adopt measures providing infrastructure managers with incentives to reduce the costs of provision of infrastructure and the level of access charges.
The Czech Republic has infringed Article 7(3) of Directive 2001/14/EC by failing to ensure that charges for the minimum access package and track access to service facilities be set at the cost that is directly incurred as a result of operating the train service.
The Czech Republic has infringed Article 11 of Directive 2001/14/EC by failing to introduce a performance scheme encouraging railway undertakings and the infrastructure manager to minimise disruption and improve the performance of the railway network.
The Czech Republic has infringed Article 30(5) of Directive 2001/14/EC by incorrectly transposing it into its domestic legal system.
The Czech Republic has infringed Article 10(7) of Directive 91/440/EEC by failing to ensure the establishment of an entity in relation to the Czech Republic which could be regarded as an entity in accordance with Article 10(7) and fulfil the functions laid down by that provision.
