Article 3
Belgium, Greece, Cyprus, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, Romania, and Sweden shall revise downwards the draft cost-efficiency targets set for their en route charging zones, expressed as determined unit cost (DUC). When revising their draft cost-efficiency targets, all the Member States concerned shall: (a) ensure that the revised cost-efficiency targets are consistent both with the Union-wide DUC trend and with the Union-wide long-term DUC trend; (b) reduce the level of determined costs accordingly, at least in respect of calendar year 2024; (c) use the latest traffic forecasts, expressed in service units, in accordance with Article 10(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317. By way of derogation from point (a), where the Commission has found in this Decision that the baseline value of the relevant en route charging zone fulfils the criterion laid down in point 1.4(c) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Member State concerned shall ensure that the revised cost-efficiency targets are consistent at least with the Union-wide DUC trend or with the Union-wide long-term DUC trend. Where a Member State invokes in its revised draft performance plan a deviation under point 1.4(d) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, it shall ensure that such a deviation is substantiated with adequate information and justifications.
