The CNMC has reviewed a ministerial order project on subsidies for disruptions in rail freight transport, emphasizing the need to justify coefficient calculations and the exclusion of certain machinery.

The proposed regulation aims to compensate freight rail operators for costs incurred due to railway works, encouraging rail transport to reduce negative externalities from road transport.

The CNMC supports aid promoting rail freight transport but highlights the importance of maintaining incentives for efficient traffic management by rail infrastructure administrators and operators.

The CNMC's recommendations include justifying coefficient calculations, improving the justification for excluding older, more polluting locomotive models, and providing estimated budgets for aid calls during the regulatory project's validity period.
