2. ENIM shall develop, adopt and implement guidelines for the purpose of ensuring appropriate and regular consultation with interested parties regarding European and cross-border matters and include them in the European framework for capacity management, the European framework for the coordination of cross-border traffic management, disruption management and crisis management referred to in Article 46 and the European framework for performance review referred to in Article 52.

ENIM shall take account of the feedback provided by the parties concerned when developing the guidelines referred to in paragraph 2 and when adopting the final opinion or recommendation referred to in paragraph 3.
