In October 2023, following a complaint by CFR Marfa, NRSC decided that GFR and Trans Expedition Feroviar SRL (TEF) must grant, under fair, nondiscriminatory and transparent conditions, the right of access to all railway transport operators to the service infrastructures at the CF Palas station and to the services provided within these infrastructures.
Furthermore, GFR was required to publish the description of the service facilities at CF Palas station, the services provided within those facilities and the tariffs charged, including information on the coordination procedure and the prioritisation criteria, in order to maximize the available capacity. The company was also required to recalculate and publish the tariffs for the services provided within these infrastructures.
GFR was fined because it did not fully implement the measures imposed by the NRSC. Therefore, the latter will continue to monitor the company’s compliance with the valid legislation and will impose additional fines if GFR does not provide non-discriminatory access to rail transport operators.
