Article 29 — Methods of capacity allocation

1. Infrastructure managers shall grant capacity rights to applicants by means of the allocation processes referred to in Articles 33 to 36. Any change to allocated capacity shall also be considered capacity allocation. 2. Infrastructure managers shall allocate railway infrastructure capacity via digital tools and digital services in accordance with Article 66. 3. The infrastructure manager shall cancel a capacity right which, over a period of at least one month, has been used for less than a threshold quota unless this was due to non-economic reasons beyond the applicant’s control. In such a case, the infrastructure manager shall inform the regulatory body. ENIM shall define ranges for the threshold quota and include them in the European framework for capacity management. Infrastructure managers shall define the threshold quota in the network statement taking into account the ranges for the threshold quota defined by ENIM. The regulatory body shall monitor the equitable, transparent and non-discriminatory application of the obligations pursuant to this paragraph and investigate any complaints received. 4. Where the infrastructure manager cancels, in accordance with paragraph 3, multi-network capacity rights, the regulatory body responsible for that infrastructure manager shall inform the relevant regulatory bodies and the ENRRB.
