Munich, 18 June 2019. CTS EVENTIM AG & Co. KGaA has the following comment on today's ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union concerning the legislative framework for the introduction of the infrastructure charge in Germany:
“We and our partner Kapsch TrafficCom have been working together since the end of last year to ensure that the infrastructure charge can begin as planned. In consultation with our client, we are now examining the implications of the ECJ ruling for our collaboration. Our contracts contain protective provisions that guard against pecuniary damages for the operating company and its shareholders. These also apply in case the infrastructure charge should not be introduced.”
