Division 7.2.5 Availability of Specific Transmission Modules

In case lines under the scope of the present TSI will not be equipped with Class A systems, the Member State shall make every effort for the availability of an external Specific Transmission Module (STM) for its legacy Class B system or systems. In this context, due regard is to be given to the assurance of an open market for STM at fair commercial conditions. In those cases that due to technical or commercial reasons^f1 the availability of an STM cannot be ensured within the appropriate time frame^f2 the relevant Member State is deemed to inform the Committee of the reasons underpinning such a problem and the mitigation measures that it intends to put into place in order to allow access — notably of foreign operators — to its infrastructure.
