(Reference for a preliminary ruling - Trans-European transport network - Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013 - Article 15(1) - Inland waterways transport infrastructures - Inland ports - Obligation of a Member State to connect inland ports with road or rail transport infrastructures - Removal of the connection with one of those two types of transport infrastructure - Conditions)
(2022/C 303/09)
Language of the case: French
Appellants: Port de Bruxelles, Région de Bruxelles-Capitale
Respondent: Infrabel SA
Interveners: FIF-FSI (Fonds d’Infrastructure Ferroviaire) SA, État belge, Région de Bruxelles-Capitale, Port de Bruxelles SA, Lineas SA
Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 on Union guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network and repealing Decision No 661/2010/EU, must be interpreted as meaning that, where an inland port which forms part of the comprehensive network, within the meaning of Article 6(1) and (2) of that regulation, has connections to both road and rail transport infrastructures, it precludes the removal of one of those two types of connection, save in exceptional circumstances. The failure to maintain the connection in question as a result of non-compliance with that provision, or the economic exploitation of the land occupied by those infrastructures, do not constitute such circumstances.
