BNetzA delayed approval of station prices for 2021

BNetzA has made use of its extension option to examine the application for approval and has extended the deadline for the procedure for assumption of approval to September 30, 2020. The background to this is questions that are still unanswered from the perspective of BNetzA arising from, among other things, consideration of the judgment of the European Court of Justice of July 10, 2019, in the case C-210/18. In this judgment, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled that passenger platforms are to be assigned to the minimum access package under Directive 2012/34/EU.
