This document describes the services supplied by CFR to the customers who want to operate trains on the railway infrastructure managed by CFR. CFR's obligations to ensure the technical and operating condition of the railway infrastructure for the safe carrying-out of the train traffic are set down in the Performance Contract concluded by CFR SA with the MT in accordance with the law in force. This NS is meant to be a guide including the relevant information available at a certain moment. It will be continuously updated as new information is provided. 1.2 Purpose of the Network Statement The NS sets out the infrastructure characteristics made available to the railway undertakings, and contains information about the conditions for the access to the relevant railway infrastructure. It also contains information about the conditions for the access to the service facilities related to the infrastructure of the infrastructure manager, and the supply of services within these service facilities or indicates a site on which such information is made available free of charge, in electronic format. The Network Statement is regularly updated and amended as appropriate. The Network Statement is published no later than 4 months before the deadline for the submission of the requests for infrastructure capacity.
