|
(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.) |

The purpose of these Regulations is to transpose Commission Directive 2014/88/EU of 9 July 2014 which amends Directive 2004/49/EC as regards common safety indicators and common methods of calculating accident costs by replacing Annex I (Common safety indicators) in full. Directive 2004/49/EC is the principal EU Railway Safety Directive and it is transposed into Irish law by the European Union (Railway Safety) Regulations 2013 ( SI No. 444 of 2013 ). These Regulations amend SI No. 444 of 2013 to incorporate amending Directive 2014/88/EU and new Annex I. |
