The analysis of the NIPs together with the bilateral meetings, on one hand, and the impact assessment on the other hand has made it possible to: Define more clearly the areas for national rules in Appendix I of TSI OPE; Refine the list of open points in Appendix I of TSI OPE; and Establish migration requirements and the timing needed to ensure compliance in chapter 7 of TSI OPE. Finally, the most important conclusion is that the level of implementation of TSI OPE is high. However, in some Member States, there are some inconsistencies in the implementation e.g. some requirements are considered voluntary and are not planned to be implemented and some requirements are implemented through National Rules. These findings have made it clear that stricter migration requirements are needed in order to reach the objective of operational interoperability. In addition, some Member States have still not notified their NIP, which makes it impossible to have an exhaustive view of the general level of implementation of TSI OPE. The NIPs of the following Member States are still missing; Austria; Czech Republic; Greece; Hungary; Luxembourg; Netherlands. National rules Member States through the National Implementation plan had the opportunity to reflect national rules in relation to requirements of TSI OPE. This work is linked to the cleaning-up of national rules. Indeed, in order to facilitate the implementation of TSI OPE, the Agency has developed a strategy to review their national rules in relation to operation. The final objectives of this review were to: Propose the topics for which harmonization would be possible and beneficial for interoperability and/or safety; and the unnecessary rules and to get an idea of the topics for which national rules were still necessary. During a series of bilaterals with Member States held between February 2016 and June 2017, the implementation of TSI OPE, the NIP and the clean-up of national rules linked to operation have been discussed. These meetings were an opportunity to discuss the first inputs in order to revise Appendix I of TSI OPE. Currently, the Appendix I of TSI OPE contains one open point linked to point 4.4 and Appendix B on Common operational principles and rules. Although the fact that TSI OPE contains only one point provides flexibility, this open point is so broad that it could lead to operational barriers due to a large number of very diverse national rules existing in relation to it. The aim of the revision of Appendix I
