Narrative:

My crew and I had a very long duty day, starting at XA30 in ewr and operating to egss, then onto lfpg. After exiting runway 26L in lfpg and holding short of runway 26R, I was instructed to cross runway 26R and contact ground. We crossed on taxiway S2. Another aircraft crossed on taxiway S3 at the same time. An aircraft was holding in position at the departure end. I crossed the runway quickly and once we switched to ground, we received vague taxi instructions which were very unclr. So I slowed the aircraft to avoid a conflict with the aircraft on the right and to avoid missing taxiway W2 on my left -- if that was how we were expected to proceed. Because I did not want to block the runway with my tail, however, I continued forward and prepared for a left turn on taxiway T. Eventually ground gave more precise taxi instructions and we continued on our way. They spent a lot of time giving more precise instructions to the aircraft on our right, a smaller aircraft, that was basically only following us. While taxiing northbound, ground called to say we did not cross the runway quickly enough and we caused a conflict or delay with the departing aft on runway 26R, because we had slowed after crossing the runway. I did not come to a complete stop during the period or question, but obviously did not move my maximum landing weight aircraft fast enough for ground control. This may have been avoided if paris could publish standard taxi rtes as many others airports do.

Title: LFPG GND CTLR COMPLAINS THAT CARGO JET TOOK TOO MUCH TIME IN XING RWY CAUSING A TKOF DELAY OF AN ACFT HOLDING IN POS.

Narrative: MY CREW AND I HAD A VERY LONG DUTY DAY, STARTING AT XA30 IN EWR AND OPERATING TO EGSS, THEN ONTO LFPG. AFTER EXITING RWY 26L IN LFPG AND HOLDING SHORT OF RWY 26R, I WAS INSTRUCTED TO CROSS RWY 26R AND CONTACT GND. WE CROSSED ON TXWY S2. ANOTHER ACFT CROSSED ON TXWY S3 AT THE SAME TIME. AN ACFT WAS HOLDING IN POS AT THE DEP END. I CROSSED THE RWY QUICKLY AND ONCE WE SWITCHED TO GND, WE RECEIVED VAGUE TAXI INSTRUCTIONS WHICH WERE VERY UNCLR. SO I SLOWED THE ACFT TO AVOID A CONFLICT WITH THE ACFT ON THE R AND TO AVOID MISSING TXWY W2 ON MY L -- IF THAT WAS HOW WE WERE EXPECTED TO PROCEED. BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO BLOCK THE RWY WITH MY TAIL, HOWEVER, I CONTINUED FORWARD AND PREPARED FOR A L TURN ON TXWY T. EVENTUALLY GND GAVE MORE PRECISE TAXI INSTRUCTIONS AND WE CONTINUED ON OUR WAY. THEY SPENT A LOT OF TIME GIVING MORE PRECISE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE ACFT ON OUR R, A SMALLER ACFT, THAT WAS BASICALLY ONLY FOLLOWING US. WHILE TAXIING NBOUND, GND CALLED TO SAY WE DID NOT CROSS THE RWY QUICKLY ENOUGH AND WE CAUSED A CONFLICT OR DELAY WITH THE DEPARTING AFT ON RWY 26R, BECAUSE WE HAD SLOWED AFTER XING THE RWY. I DID NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP DURING THE PERIOD OR QUESTION, BUT OBVIOUSLY DID NOT MOVE MY MAX LNDG WT ACFT FAST ENOUGH FOR GND CTL. THIS MAY HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF PARIS COULD PUBLISH STANDARD TAXI RTES AS MANY OTHERS ARPTS DO.
