b) Concurrent requests After receiving a request for access to the CFR service infrastructure from the applicant, CFR analyses this request in order to determine the possibility of satisfying it, after which it proceeds as follows:

• - If there are no other concurrent requests registered (scheduled) with this one (in the same time slots), CFR

grants the request for access to the service infrastructure in order for the applicant to perform the necessary operations.

• - If the request for access to the service infrastructure is concurrent with a previous request from another

applicant and which was accepted (scheduled) by CFR, CFR tries through discussions with the applicants involved to coordinate these requests in order to ensure the best possible solution to all requests. One of the following actions is considered within the framework of this coordination:

• - the possibility of postponing the time slot requested by the second applicant to another nearby period in

which there is available capacity;

• - the possibility of postponing the time slot requested by the first applicant (with his/her consent) to another

nearby period in which there is available capacity; c) Priority criteria If none of these actions is possible or is not accepted by the applicants, CFR will apply the following priority criteria for access to the service infrastructure:

• - operation of services for ensuring military transport;
• - operation of services with perishable transport;
• - applicants who have already been allocated a train path to the station where access to the service

infrastructure is scheduled and who respect the allocated train path;

• - applicants who have submitted their request for access to the service infrastructure in advance compared

to those who submit it shortly before access to the service infrastructure;

• - operation of services for which there is already a contract with the beneficiaries of the operators for which

the service infrastructure is used;

• - provision of the shunting locomotive for operations on the service infrastructure;
• - prioritization established by the providers of additional and auxiliary services (e.g. loading-unloading);
• - applicants who do not have outstanding debts to CFR for similar services;
• - the availability of the beneficiary's operating front capacity;
• - applicants who have a good track record of respecting the use of the service infrastructure.

In the event that the applicant/operator has outstanding debts to CFR resulting from the use of the service infrastructure, CFR may temporarily suspend the provision of access services to the service infrastructure to the operator in question until the outstanding debts are paid, in accordance with the provisions of art. 23(16) of OG 12/1998. 2. Tariff principles The pricing principles for the provision of services related to the service infrastructures managed by CFR presented above are included in point B. of subchapter 5.2. of the DRR. The value of the tariffs related to these services is presented in point 2 of Annex 26.a. The invoicing methods, payment terms and conditions for these services are presented in the standard Access Contract which can be found in Annex 14 of the DRR.
