Discrepancies between Spanish legislation on rail transport and European regulation: the infringement procedure against the Kingdom of Spain

Abstract

The European Commission identified different infringements of the European Directives in Act 39/2003, on railway transport. Act 2/2011 on Sustainable Economy put an end to the infringements in relation to the Independence of the Comité de Regulación Ferroviaria. The Judgment on the European Court of Justice of 28 February 2013 has confirmed infringements related to the fee for the use of infrastructure.
