DECISION No 2/2019 OF THE COMMUNITY/SWITZERLAND INLAND TRANSPORT COMMITTEE
of 13 December 2019
on transitory measures to maintain smooth rail traffic between Switzerland and the European Union
[2020/40]
THE COMMITTEE,
Having regard to the Agreement of 21 June 1999 between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the
carriage of goods and passengers by rail and road (‘the Agreement’), and in particular Article 52(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 51(2) of the Agreement, the Community/Switzerland Inland Transport Committee (‘the Joint
Committee’) shall be responsible for monitoring and applying the provisions of the Agreement, and shall
implement the adaptation and revision clauses referred to in Articles 52 and 55 thereof.
(2) Under Article 52(4) of the Agreement, the Joint Committee shall, among other things, adopt decisions revising
Annex 1 so as to incorporate into it, if necessary and on a basis of reciprocity, the amendments to the legislation in
question or decide on any other measures to safeguard the proper functioning of the Agreement.
(3) Joint Committee Decision No 1/2013(1) provides for the recognition, on the basis of reciprocity, of the safety
certificates for railway undertakings issued by the national safety authorities of a Member State or Switzerland in
accordance with Directive 2004/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(2). It also provides for the
recognition, on the basis of reciprocity, of the ‘EC’ declarations of conformity, suitability for use and verification,
‘EC’ certificates of verification, authorisations for placing in service of subsystems and vehicles and type
authorisations, as well as of the notified bodies laid down in Directive 2008/57/EC of the European Parliament and
of the Council(3).
(4) Directive (EU) 2016/797 of the European Parliament and of the Council(4) lays down new requirements for placing
on the market interoperability constituents, subsystems and railway vehicles. Directive (EU) 2016/798 of the
European Parliament and of the Council(5) lays down new requirements for issuing single safety certificates for
railway undertakings. These Directives also confer new functions upon the European Union Agency for Railways
(‘the Agency’). In particular, the Agency is responsible for issuing authorisations for placing a vehicle on the market
and type authorisations of vehicles pursuant to Articles 21 and 24 of Directive (EU) 2016/797 (‘EU vehicle
authorisations’), as well as for issuing single safety certificates pursuant to Article 10 of Directive (EU) 2016/798
(‘single safety certificates’). The Directives are to be transposed by the Member States not later than by 16 June 2019
or, as regards Member States which have notified the Commission and Agency to that effect, by 16 June 2020.
Directives 2004/49/EC and 2008/57/EC are repealed and replaced by Directives (EU) 2016/797 and (EU)
2016/798, with effect from 16 June 2020.
(5) Furthermore, Switzerland plans to apply legal provisions equivalent to Directives (EU) 2016/797 and (EU)
2016/798. It is therefore necessary to incorporate into the Agreement the new substantive provisions of Directives
(EU) 2016/797 and (EU) 2016/798 by amending Annex 1 to the Agreement.
(1) Decision No 1/2013 of the Community/Switzerland Inland Transport Committee of 6 December 2013 amending Annex 1 to the
Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the carriage of goods and passengers by rail and road
(OJ L 352, 24.12.2013, p. 79).
(2) Directive 2004/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on safety on the Community’s railways and
amending Council Directive 95/18/EC on the licensing of railway undertakings and Directive 2001/14/EC on the allocation of railway
infrastructure capacity and the levying of charges for the use of railway infrastructure and safety certification (Railway Safety Directive)
(OJ L 164, 30.4.2004, p. 44).
(3) Directive 2008/57/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 on the interoperability of the rail system within
the Community (OJ L 191, 18.7.2008, p. 1).
(4) Directive (EU) 2016/797 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2016 on the interoperability of the rail system
within the European Union (OJ L 138, 26.5.2016, p. 44).
(5) Directive (EU) 2016/798 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2016 on railway safety (OJ L 138, 26.5.2016,
p. 102).L 13/44 E N O f f i c i a l J o u r n a l o f t h e E u r o p e a n Union 17.1.2020
(6) In its current form, the Agreement does not provide for the possibility of European Union institutions or bodies to
exercise authority in Switzerland, nor does it empower the Joint Committee to amend the Agreement to that effect.
Pending amendment of the Agreement under the relevant procedures, it is necessary to lay down transitory
provisions to facilitate rail traffic between Switzerland and the European Union. To this effect, it should be specified
that compliance with the relevant safety and interoperability requirements in Switzerland may be established by
means of a single safety certificate or an EU vehicle authorisation issued by the Agency, on one hand, and the
verification by Switzerland of compliance with Swiss national rules. When issuing single safety certificates or EU
vehicle authorisations, the Agency should take into account as evidence the assessment carried out by Switzerland,
for the purpose of issuing safety certificates or vehicle authorisations for the Swiss rail network, of the requirements
in Swiss legislation corresponding to the relevant European Union legislation.
(7) The ‘EC’ certificates and ‘EC’ declarations established pursuant to Directive (EU) 2016/797 should be mutually
recognised.
(8) In order to limit the administrative burden, applicants should be allowed to request at the same time a single security
certificate or an EU vehicle authorisation issued by the Agency as well as the verification by Switzerland of
compliance with its national rules. For the same purpose, applicants should be allowed to use the one-stop shop
referred to in Article 12 of Regulation (EU) 2016/796 of the European Parliament and of the Council(6).
Switzerland should be granted access to the one-stop shop, and the Agency and Switzerland should cooperate to
the extent necessary to implement this Decision.
(9) The national rules that are referred to in Article 13(2) of Directive (EU) 2016/797 and Article 8(2) of Directive (EU)
2016/798 and applicable for issuing safety certificates and vehicle authorisations on Swiss territory (‘national rules’)
should be notified for publication by means of the electronic system referred to in Article 27 of Regulation (EU)
2016/796. The areas in which Swiss national rules are applied should be listed in Annex 1 to the Agreement.
(10) Switzerland and the European Union are committed to removing unnecessary national rules that are an obstacle to
interoperability and smooth rail traffic between Switzerland and the European Union. Certain Swiss national rules
listed in Annex 1 to the Agreement may be incompatible with the technical specifications for interoperability and
should be reviewed before 31 December 2020 to decide whether to remove, amend or keep them.
(11) Decision No 1/2013 of the Joint Committee should be repealed. However, as certain Member States, in accordance
with Directives (EU) 2016/797 and (EU) 2016/798, will not transpose those Directives until 16 June 2020, Articles
2(1) and 3(1) of the Joint Committee decision should continue to apply until that date as regards the Member States
concerned.
(12) The ‘EC’ declarations of conformity, suitability for use and verification, ‘EC’ certificates of verification as well as the
authorisations for placing in service of subsystems and vehicles and type authorisations and the safety certificates
recognised in accordance with Decision No 1/2013 should continue to be recognised under the conditions subject
to which they were issued.
(13) The transitory measures established by this Decision should apply until 31 December 2020 pending the amendment
of the Agreement with a view to extending to the Swiss rail network the role of the Agency in the area of safety
certificates and vehicle authorisations. The Joint Committee should consider extending the transitory measures
beyond 31 December 2020, if it is unlikely that legal provisions equivalent to Regulation (EU) 2016/796 and
Directives (EU) 2016/797 and (EU) 2016/798 will be applied by 31 December 2020,
