Atlantic Corridor
Bundesnetzagentur is one of the regulatory bodies of the cross-border rail freight corridor “Atlantic”
(Sines / Setúbal / Lissabon / Aveiro / Leixões – Algeciras / Madrid / Bilbao / Saragossa – Bordeaux / La Rochelle / Nantes / Paris / Le Havre / Straßburg – Mannheim).
In principle, applicants can lodge a complaint in any language and with the regulatory body of any Member State through which the international train path runs.
However, if a complaint to Bundesnetzagentur is lodged in a language other than German, it should be accompanied by an English translation. The English version is needed for the necessary communication and coordination with all parties concerned with the corridor. If a translation is not provided and the complaint then has to be translated by the Bundesnetzagentur, any resulting costs and delays will be to the detriment of the complainant.
More detailed information on the complaints procedure can be found in the Cooperation Agreement between the regulatory bodies of the countries situated in Corridor Atlantic.
