2 Current TEN-T Network 2

3 The Pan-European Corridors towards eastern Europe and beyond Aarhus 2011

4 TEN-T 2004: 30 Priority Projects 4

5 Access to Neighbouring Countries (2007) 5

6 Costs of the TEN-T current networks Full TEN-T Network EUR 900 billion* EUR 500 billion remaining Priority Projects 18 rail corridors ( 6 ERTMS corridors) 4 mixed corridors 3 road corridors 2 Waterways+ MoS EUR 415 billion* EUR 253 billion remaining * from 1996 to 2020 / in EUR

7 Funding and financing framework (2015) Period = EUR 350 bn Member States = EUR 196 bn including Co-funding EU related funding and financing TEN-T Budget = EUR 8 bn up to 30% / 50% systems & Design. Focus on cross-border links (MS Cofunding - Direct Management Cohesion + Structural Funds = EUR 47 bn up to 85% (MS Co-financing) Shared Management (EC - MS) EIB - European Investment Bank loans (EC consulted)= EUR 54 bn 7

11 The comprehensive network aim: accessibility to EU Regions access to the core network foster internal cohesion smooth operation of the internal market

16 Interoperability Standards: ERTMS

17 The Core Network The core network (a subset of the comprehensive network) shall: - be multimodal and coherent, spanning the entire Community; - be made up of nodes and links of high strategic importance including the main ports and airports (gateways); - be linked to infrastructures beyond EU member states; - reflect the main long-distance / international traffic flows (passengers / freight; existing / potential); - correspond to the long-term needs of the Community and remain stable over a reasonably long period (~ 2030); - include the Motorways of the Sea ; - include supplementary infrastructure measures; - allow investment needs and projects to be derived top-down (unlike the existing 30 priority projects). For Planning: Separate consideration of passengers and freight! 17

18 Core Network Planning - Nodes Primary Nodes: - cities, ports, determining the network overall configuration, - multimodal interfaces. Primary city nodes include within and close to their LUZ area all multimodal interconnecting infrastructure for passengers and freight as far as qualified for the Comprehensive Network: - seaports and inland ports, - airports, - railway stations, - multimodal platforms. Secondary nodes: - resulting from determining links between primary nodes (branching or crossing points of links of same or different modes). Tertiary nodes: - resulting from optimising itineraries of links. City nodes link long-distance, regional, local transport (pass. + freight)! 18

19 Identification of primary nodes - Cities, city clusters and conurbations: - the capitals of all Member States, - the MEGA's = MEtropolitan Growth Areas (ESPON atlas 2006), - conurbations, city clusters > 1 M inhabitants: basis: Larger Urban Zones ( LUZ ) acc. to Urban Audit (EUROSTAT); - Seaports (if not qualified as part of a primary city node): - annual throughput > 1 % of the EU total (bulk, non-bulk): bulk non-bulk interpolation: threshold for bulk + threshold for non-bulk > 1,0; - the largest one per each NUTS 1 region with access to sea, per each continuous coastline; - Core Network sea and inland ports to be linked by more than 1 mode (except in countries with road, only). 19

20 Core Network Planning - Links - Links shall connect "neighbouring" primary nodes, following traffic flows. More distant nodes shall be connected indirectly (=> chain of links). - Should traffic flows not follow the detour, a direct connection shall be foreseen. - Traffic shall be bundled on infrastructure existing or under implementation, if traffic flows follow and capacities are sufficient; - Optimising links may lead to branching and crossing points, ( Secondary Nodes : cities and/or multimodal interconnecting points). - If (for one or several modes) a link between primary nodes does not exist, such a link shall be foreseen only if: - justified as missing link" of a potential corridor, - implementation is realistically feasible. This allows modal differentiation (e.g. IWW). - Separate rail links for passenger and freight traffic may be foreseen where appropriate. 20

21 Merging passengers + freight, standards: - Roads: passengers and freight Rail: possible separation according to speeds (geometrical parameters, capacity): IWW: freight only - Selection of standards shall meet real needs (geometrical parameters, technical equipment): - traffic demand, volumes, shares of passengers and freight, - target transport times, Step-by-step improvements! - As a minimum, Core Network elements shall meet standards of Comprehensive Network. - Core Network Multimodal Corridors: Prioritised coordinated implementation of Core Network subset, on the base of a corridor approach, to meet internal market needs at the earliest possible date. 21
