1. Taskforce „TT Quality“: Report from First Workshop (short)
Vienna, 15 February 2017

2. Initial situation and taskforce‘s objective
RUs/Applicants have received offers with poor quality for TT 2017
The RUs complain that offers are:
Inconsistent
Contradictory
Partially nonsense
Not harmonised
Highly complex and require huge efforts to get „deciphered“
After common analysis with RUs the PCS Team detected 6 major reasons for the poor quality (the following examples are actual dossiers with RFC involvement)
Objective of the taskforce’s workshop:
Create concepts with countermeasures to the current lack of quality in the international timetables offered via PCS.

3. Detected reasons for poor quality offer
Negative border times
Offers as attachment
Unreadable dossiers
Different borders in the offer
Difference in the offer between the PaP and the tailor-made
Difference between PCS and the national system
