Document Details:

A permanent Committee, Coper 1, has been set up by the ASECAP Steering Committee members to monitor developments and questions about tolling issues: financing of the infrastructure, ETC interoperability, tariff, etc.

This committee is chaired by Jean Mesqui, ASFA Executive Director. Members of the Coper 1 Committee are representatives from AISCAT, ASETA, ASFINAG, BRISA, TEO, DARS. Within the scope of the work undertaken by this committee, a study has been carried out amongst ASECAP members in order to have an overview of toll tariff calculation.

The information was collected through a questionnaire prepared by the Coper 1 members. Fifteen countries answered the questionnaires: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, Spain, France, Italy, Morocco, Norway, Netherlands, Portugal, Serbia, Slovenia, Ukraine and the United Kingdom.

The report highlights the following points:

  • toll tariffs are fixed by the States, most of the time based on concessionaire proposals. In the United Kingdom
  • the M6 Toll concessionaire is the only company free to fix its own tariff policy;
  • toll tariffs are applied according to vehicle classification schemes which are different amongst ASECAP members;
  • concessionaires are not free to apply variable pricing except in Portugal, Spain, the United Kingdom (and
  • Morocco). For other ASECAP countries, either it does not exist or it is regulated;
  • VAT is applied in all ASECAP countries except in Norway. The rate varies amongst these countries.
  • The description of the toll tariff calculation as well as the tariff policy by country is shown below.
