2. The national regulatory authority shall objectively assess, in accordance with the principles in Article 12 of Directive 97/67/EC, the cross-border tariffs identified under paragraph 1 in order to identify those cross-border tariffs that it considers to be unreasonably high. In that assessment, the national regulatory authority shall in particular take into account the following elements:
|
(a)
|
the domestic and any other relevant tariffs of the comparable parcel delivery services in the originating Member State and in the destination Member State;
|
|
(b)
|
any application of a uniform tariff to two or more Member States;
|
|
(c)
|
bilateral volumes, specific transportation or handling costs, other relevant costs and service quality standards;
|
|
(d)
|
the likely impact of the applicable cross-border tariffs on individual and small and medium-sized enterprise users including those situated in remote or sparsely populated areas, and on individual users with disabilities or with reduced mobility, where possible without imposing a disproportionate burden.
