Article 39

Every three years and for the first time 19 July 2011, the Commission shall report to the European Parliament and the Council on the progress made towards achieving interoperability of the rail system. That report shall also include an analysis of the cases set out in Article 9. The Commission shall, by 19 July 2013, publish a report including an analysis of the application of Chapter V and of the improvements in the cross-acceptance of vehicles in the Community in terms of length and costs of the procedures for applicants. Where appropriate, the report shall also assess the impact of various options for further simplifying procedures relating to the authorisation of vehicles. In this case, several options concerning cooperation between national safety authorities and the Agency shall be analysed. The Agency shall develop and regularly update a tool capable of providing, at the request of a Member State or the Commission, a chart of the interoperability level of the rail system. That tool shall use the information included in the registers provided for in Articles 33, 34 and 35.
