Steering Board Decision Points

• The EMC mandated Jan Sundling to report back in October with a final proposal, budget and completed organisation

• The Steering Board approved a self-funding scenario – Assure the succesful outcome of the development project– Maintain agreed governance and financial oversight– Provide for open and free license of the Intellectual Property

of the applications

• Funding Proposal from the Commission submitted– Application for TEN-T funding for (10% – 30%) co-financing of

works (call is oversubscribed 4:1)

6Telematic Applications for Freight

• The Steering Board generally supported a proposal for RNE to Operate the Common System Components. It was decided that:

– RNE was to get formal GA approval for providing this service– RNE was requested to develop a formal proposal to be reviewed at

the next Steering Board– A decision will be taken either using Benchmarking or Public Tender

to ensure that the decision is based on sound commercial criteria

Budget Repartition

• It was agreed that Stakeholders will share the costs of development amongst themselves (CER, EIM, ERFA, UIP, etc)

• Use the UIC Key to determine the organisational contribution of the UIC, CER and EIM members.

• Other representative organisations to determine their own keys for portion of the cost.– The following repartition key is proposed, but is being negotiated:

Traction/Infra/Operational Costs (80%)

Rolling Stock Costs (20%)
