Other infrastructure managers included in strategic capacity management pursuant to Article 14 may be members of ENIM. Every member shall appoint a representative and an alternate. 4. Infrastructure managers that are not responsible for the lines referred to in paragraph 3 and are thus not members of ENIM, may participate in the deliberations of ENIM as observers without voting rights. They may submit statements for consideration by ENIM. 5. Infrastructure managers responsible for lines that form part of the core and extended core TEN-T network of States which are members of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and of South East European Parties to the Treaty establishing the Transport Community signed by the Union in accordance with Council Decision (EU) 2017/1937 shall have the right to become members of ENIM provided that those States or parties apply this Regulation pursuant to an international agreement concluded with the Union and in accordance with the modalities of participation set out under such agreement. 6. ENIM may invite, on an ad hoc basis, infrastructure managers of third countries not covered under paragraph 5 who are managing railway lines of the TEN-T core and extended core, as observers. 7. ENIM shall adopt and publish its rules of procedure, subject to the approval of the Commission. ENIM shall organise its activities in accordance with those rules of procedure. 8. ENIM shall take its decisions by a two-thirds majority. Where specified in the rules of procedures, ENIM may take certain decisions by a simple majority. All members from one State shall together have one vote. In the absence of a member representative, the alternate shall be entitled to exercise the right to vote. 9. ENIM shall meet at regular intervals. It shall elect a Chair from among its members. 10. The Commission shall be a non-voting member of ENIM. It shall support the work of ENIM and facilitate coordination. 11. ENIM shall set out its work programme. The work programme shall cover a period of between two to five years. ENIM shall consult the ERP, applicants and other operational stakeholders, in accordance with the guidelines referred to in Article 57, on the draft work programme, as well as consult the Commission, the European Union Agency for Railways (ERA), the Europe’s Rail Joint Undertaking and, as appropriate, other stakeholders. The parties concerned shall have four weeks to provide feedback on the draft work programme.
