5.2       Charging principles
  In order to ensure a unified framework in the field of railway infrastructure pricing, the National Supervisory
  Council for the Railway Domain - CNSDF - has developed the "Guide on the pricing principles applicable to
  railway infrastructure and service infrastructures" which is presented at the web address:
  https://www.consiliulferoviar.ro/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Ghid-tarifare.pdf
  For the services provided by CFR regarding the use of the railway infrastructure, the charging system
  includes two groups of charges that are applied in a non-discriminatory manner to all RUs in similar
  transport conditions:
  A. The Infrastructure Access Charge (IAC);
  IAC represents the charge paid by the RUs for the access to the public railway infrastructure managed by

CFR.

IAC is calculated and collected by CFR to ensure the trains traffic within the minimum access package defined in paragraph 1 of Annex No. II to Law No. 202/2016. The value of the IAC is determined at the level of direct costs recorded by CFR for ensuring the operation of the railway infrastructure according to art. 31(3) of Law No. 202/2016 on the integration of the Romanian railway system into the single European railway area (and which represents the transposition of EU Directive 2012/34 on the creation of the single European railway area). At the same time, the determination of costs related to IAC is consistent with the provisions of "Regulation (EU) 2015/909 on the methods of calculating the costs generated directly from the operation of the railway transport service". The regulation specifies the eligibility principles of the direct costs related to IAC from the total costs of infrastructure manager and indicate their determination methods. Detailed information regarding the services provided under paragraph 1 of Annex II to Law 202/2016 (minimum access package) as well as the method of establishing IAC is presented in Art. 5.3. from this

Chapter.
