TEN-T Corridors, Ports and Motorways of the Sea

Transcription

1 THE NEW TRANS-EUROPEAN TRANSPORT NETWORK A CORE NETWORK: BLUEPRINT FOR 2030 TEN-T Corridors, Ports and Motorways of the Sea April 24, 2012 European Commission DG MOVE TEN-T Jose Anselmo

2 Transport lifeblood of the economy Transport is fundamental to a strong economy Freight transport in Europe is expected to grow by 80% by 2050 Passenger transport to grow by more than 50% CO2 emissions endeavored to fall by 60 % Key: A vitally new infrastructure policy

3 TODAY... Lacking connections between Member States Remaining technical barriers (railway gauge, electrification, control and command systems, traffic management) Too many gaps between transport modes (e.g.: only 20 major airports directly connected to the rail network and only 35 major ports well connected to land network) Almost ignored intelligent transport solutions across modes

4 TODAY... Bottlenecks, missing links and inefficient capacity management as an obstacle to smooth traffic flows Remaining imbalances in infrastructure endowment and, consequently, in access to markets and prosperity Inadequate infrastructure connections with neighbouring and other third countries Lack of innovation, especially with a view to low carbon technologies

5 The patchwork today Priority project sections completed by 2011

6 Investment needs identified for the European Transport system 1.5 trillion of investment needs by 2030 TEN-T alone: 500 billion by 2020 Core Network alone requires 250 billion by 2020 Estimate based on discussions with MS on their project portfolio

7 We need to do better The existing patchwork of priority projects will be replaced by a single European core network Core network corridors will effectively boost core network implementation The comprehensive network as ground layer to ensure accessibility and common standards

8 2030 a European core network

9 Helping business and people move freely and smoothly... The core network will link up 85 important economic centres and their airports, 138 sea and inland ports and 28 cross-border points with third countries Rail, road and inland waterway connections between these nodes will carry traffic flows of highest strategic importance High infrastructure standards, including ITS and innovative equipment, make the core network the pioneer for Europe s transport infrastructure development

10 Streamlining core network implementation Core network implementation: in the centre of financial interventions through Union instruments «Corridors» as an instrument for coordinated core network implementation Identification of 10 corridors in the «Connecting Europe Facility» Innovative governance structures with «European coordinators» in a pivotal role Emphasis on efficient infrastructure use and coherent, demand-driven project implementation

11 Giving everyone easy access toten-t Gradually, the comprehensive network will enable citizens and businesses to gain access to this network within an hour Via the comprehensive network, strategic nodes and links of the core network will be reached conveniently By 2050, the network shall be finalized and feature high, homogeneous and innovative standards

12 Finding the money billion Euros for the completion of the core network until billion Euros of this needed until 2020 Member States and other public and private entities as project promoters and main investors Europe to contribute 31,7 billion Euros grant money: Connecting Europe Facility (CEF)

13 Boosting investment with the CEF 31.7 billion, out of which 10 billion specifically for Cohesion countries % for core network corridors, 3 horizontal priorities and other important cross-border sections % for other projects of the core and comprehensive networks Innovative financial instruments Further 24 billion Euros under the Cohesion Fund

14 The Connecting Europe Facility: eligibility % of available budget for preidentified projects listed in Annex 1 3 horizontal priorities, 10 core network corridors, and other important cross-border sections delegated act foreseen to amend list

15 EU funding rates Up to 50% EU co-financing for studies For works up to 20% (e.g. exploratory works for a major tunnel) Increased co-financing for cross border projects for rail and waterway up to 40 %. ITS projects - co-financing up to 50% Up to 85% in Cohesion countries

16 The Connecting Europe Facility: cofunding rates

17 The Connecting Europe Facility: Financial instruments and procurement: eligibility All actions contributing to projects of common interest, i.e. core and comprehensive network, including horizontal priorities, and programme support actions (i.e. European coordinators) are eligible. Grants: actions contributing to projects of common interest: Actions implementing core network (Chapter III of Guidelines), including deployment of new technologies & innovation (Art 39 of Guidelines) Studies in PCI in third countries to link with transport networks of third countries (Art 8(1)(b) and (c) of Guidelines) Works for PCI in third countries (Art 8(1)(a) and (d) of Guidelines) Traffic managements systems (Art 37 of Guidelines) Freight transport services (Art 38 of Guidelines) Actions to reduce rail noise by retrofitting of existing rolling stock Programme support actions

Increase attractiveness for Tourism (Air/HSR/MoS) Transport as a Support for Trade (Shipping/Ports/Rail and Road) Transport as a Business Baltic front for Freight : Int. trade + Intra EU trade

25 10 Core network Corridors

26 TEN-T CORRIDORS (1) Current situation: Policy Framework approved TEN-T Guidelines approved in Council 22 March Next - discussion in the EP (end 2012/2013) Financing Policy CEF discussion just started in the Council

27 TEN-T Actual implementation: Annual Call 200 M - 23 April 2012 Priority 2: Promote infrastructure development contributing to mitigation and adaptation to climate change and reducing the impact of transport on the environment : Climate Change GHG + Marine Emmissions Multi-Annual Call from 50 M On Motorways of the Sea e.g. LNG, Cold ironing, others

28 TEN-T (2) Motorways of the SEA

29 The vision Passengers Freight Long-distance travel and intercontinental freight Intercity travel and transport Urban transport and commuting Adequate capacity and improved overall travel experience (efficient links between airports and rail, minimum hassle for personal security screening ) Seamless multimodal travel (online multimodal info and ticketing, multimodal hubs ) Quality service and enforced passengers rights Near-zero casualties for road Non-fossil mobility (Clean and efficient cars; Higher share of public transport; Alternative propulsion for urban buses and taxis; Better infrastructure for walking and cycling) High global maritime standards More efficient hinterland connections for ports Modern vessels and cleaner fuels for shipping Paperless logistics Multimodal long-distance freight corridors No barriers to maritime transport Cleaner trucks on shorter distances Better interface between long distance and last-mile Freight consolidation centres and delivery points ITS for better logistics Low-noise and low-emission trucks for deliveries

30 What do ports represent for the EU? Ports handle up to 90% of the EU external trade (in ton km) Value of EU seaborne external trade: 1118,2 billion (2009) 40% of intra-eu freight exchanges (in tons) Number of enterprises in ports:

31 1. TEN-T Comprehensive Network Relevance: address the essence of maritime traffic (±340 ports covering >90% of total port volumes, plus regional ports) an appropriate scale for future targeted transport policy measures Stability: relative criteria vs. absolute values

32 The Motorways of the Sea The building block for the Maritime Dimension of TEN-T, covering the whole European Maritime Space, i.e. the financing framework for Maritime (Ports & Shipping) Providing a platform for the development of key activities: Ships and Ship operations Ports & access to hinterland Human Element [training for MoS] Organisational systems and procedures Leading to Safe, Secure and Sustainable Maritime Operations instrumental to European Competitiveness Examples: Safety of Navigation, Environmental performance of Ships and Ports (e.g. LNG),Traffic Management and Navigation Services (e.g. e-maritime), Optimised ship operations, ICT for Ports and Logistics.

33 MoS 2012 and beyond Maritime component of the priority corridors Connecting corridors Connecting corridors and Core network ports Connecting Core network ports Connecting those above and the ports of the comprehensive network
