Opinia na temat stosowania przepisów prawa dotyczących możliwości finansowania z budżetów jednostek samorządu terytorialnego (województwa) kosztów działalności zarządcy infrastruktury kolejowej, o których mowa w art. 38b ust. 4 ustawy z 28 marca 2003 r. o transporcie kolejowym

Under the Act on Public Finances, earmarked subsidies from the budget of the local government unit may be provided for the purpose of financing current operations of the statutorily designated entity. There is no explicit statutory wording in the Act on Railway Transport, however, which may raise doubts as to the existence of the legal basis for the transfer of subsidy from the budget of the province to managers of the railway infrastructure, including railway lines with a range of urban, suburban or regional level. It is also difficult to find a reason to apply the practice of using an earmarked subsidy from the province budget to fund the operation of manager which cannot be financed from fees for the use of railway infrastructure.
