4. By way of derogation from paragraph 2, a Member State may allow financial transfers between regulated services that are separate within the meaning of paragraph 1, provided that the regulatory authority has established that the financing of networks through network access tariffs paid by its network users only is not viable. The regulatory authority shall consider in its assessment, inter alia, the value of projected financial transfers, the resulting cross-subsidisation between users of the respective networks and the cost-efficiency of those financial transfers.
The following conditions shall apply to a financial transfer within the meaning of this paragraph:
|
(a)
|
all revenue needed for the financial transfer is collected as a dedicated charge;
|
|
(b)
|
the dedicated charge is collected only from exit points to final customers located within the same Member States as the beneficiary of the financial transfer;
|
|
(c)
|
the dedicated charge and financial transfer or the methodologies underlying their calculation are approved prior to their entry into force by the regulatory authority;
|
|
(d)
|
the approved dedicated charge and financial transfer and the methodologies, where methodologies are approved, are published no later than thirty days before their date of implementation;
|
|
(e)
|
the Commission and ACER have been notified by the Member State that it has allowed financial transfers.
