          Compania Nationala de Cai Ferate “CFR” S.A.                                               Romania

A) Charges discounts for freight intermodal traffic Based on the legislative provisions and those of the Activity Contract concluded with MTI, CFR applies an IAC value reduced by 33% for complete trains in intermodal traffic, based on agreements concluded between CFR and RUs valid for the duration of the access contract. The standard template of this agreement is presented in Annex 29. Agreements are concluded with OTFs that do not have overdue debits against CFR for more than 35 days. Similar discount systems apply for similar services. The discount systems apply in a non-discriminatory manner to all RUs. Tariff discounts are granted to RUs that do not have outstanding debits against CFR for more than 30 days. The tariff discounts mentioned above are also specified in Annex 26.a, at paragraph 1.3. The agreement regarding the granting of the facility of IAC reduction by 33% for complete trains in intermodal traffic is terminated if RU registers debts (debentures) to CFR, older than 35 days resulting from

the application of specific agreements and from the performance of the access contract in force concluded between CFR and RU. Also, the specific agreement is automatically terminated in the event that non-conformities are found regarding the RU's statutory declaration regarding the enclosure of trains in the conditions of application of the agreement. b) Charges discounts for framework agreements CFR has not received requests regarding the conclusion of framework agreements and has no such agreements in progress. c) Charges discounts for ERTMS At this moment CFR does not grant discounts for ERTMS, as the system is not yet used by rail transport operators.

5.7       Performance Scheme
  In order to ensure the efficient use of the allocated train paths, and to stimulate the RUs and CFR to comply
  with the train timetable, RNE (RailNet Europe) prepared, in cooperation with the UIC (the International
  Union of Railways), a Handbook for the European Performance Regime (EPR). https://rne.eu/traffic-
  management/train-performance-management/other-activities/
  This is also set down in Article 35 of Law No. 202/2016 on the integration of the Romanian railway system
  into the single European railway area, as further amended and supplemented.
  In fact, the EPR sets out the conditions under which the RUs and the railway infrastructure managers are
  liable for the delays caused to the trains as well as the modality of registering and mutually sanctioning
  these delays.
  In accordance with the provisions of Commission Regulation (EU) No. 1305/2014, Article 4.2.3.2, the RUs
  shall send to CFR the list with the rolling stock included in the composition of the freight trains, by using the

computer message in the format set out in Regulation No. 1305/2014. The computer message shall be sent by the RU before the departure of the train from the departure station, respectively before the departure of the train from the station where the change in the train composition took place. In the first phase, there shall be sent the computer messages for the international freight trains (which run in the international traffic), and then the computer messages for all the freight trains.
