  "text": "Member States shall prepare a formal national ERTMS implementation plan for the high-speed rail network addressing the deployment of both ETCS and GSM-R. The plan shall fulfil the implementation rules specified in sections 7.2.1 and 7.2.2\nFor ETCS, the national plan shall give priority to implementation on the high-speed lines belonging to the ETCS-Net as described in annex H of the HS CCS TSI as well as to the rolling stock to be operated on these lines. The target date for such implementation is 2015.\nThe national plans shall provide, in particular, the following elements:\nTarget lines: a clear identification of the national lines or sections which are earmarked for implementation.\nTechnical requirements: the essential technical characteristics of the different implementations (e.g. a GSM-R quality of service for data or just voice quality implementation, Functional Level of ETCS, ETCS baseline, ETCS-only or overlaid installations);\nDeployment strategy and planning: an outline of the implementation plan (including sequencing and timing of the works);\nMigration strategy: the strategy envisaged for the migration of both the infrastructure and rolling-stock sub-systems (e.g. superposition of Class A and Class B systems, planned date for the switching from Class B to Class A facilities or for the removal of Class B facilities);\nPotential constraints: an overview of potential elements that might impact on fulfilment of the implementation plan (e.g. signalling works integrating larger scope infrastructure works, assurance of continuity of service across borders).\nThese national plans are to be finally aggregated within an EU Master Plan within six months of their notification.",
