JSC “LatRailNet”
JSC "LatRailNet" was founded on 27 December, 2010.
JSC "LatRailNet" is a subsidiary company of the SJSC "Latvian Railway" that according to the Railway Law performs the essential functions of the public-use railway infrastructure manager - decision making on capacity allocation and train path assignment, including both the determination and assessment of accessibility and the allocation of individual train paths and decision-making on infrastructure charging, including the determination and collection of the charges.
According to Railway Law, if the dominant company of a concern (a capital company) is the infrastructure manager of public-use railway infrastructure, but the dependent company is a railway undertaking, then the essential functions of the public-use railway infrastructure manager must be carried out by another dependent company of the concern (a capital company) which is not a railway undertaking and meets the requirements of independence as the provider of the essential functions of the public-use railway infrastructure manager.
As set out in Directive 2012/34/EU, member states shall ensure that the essential functions, determining equitable and non-discriminatory access to infrastructure, are entrusted to bodies or companies that do not themselves provide any rail transportation services. Regardless of organisational structures, this objective shall be shown to have been achieved.
