  2. 1. POLITICAL FRAMEWORKAND POSSIBLE APPROACHES

  3. Political Framework(1) White Paper on Transport 2050 (published March 2011) - White Paper 2001  "modal shift" - Revision 2006  "co-modality" - White Paper 2011  "modal integration" • General Objectives of the White Paper: • higherefficiency of transport and infrastructure use; • optimisedlogisticchains (efficiency, sustainability; • innovativetransportmanagement and information; • less CO2duetoinnovativepropulsion and fuels • => Weneed a "green" transportsystem!

  4. SpecificObjectives of the White Paper (2050) Political Framework(2) • With transport volumes still growing: • Reducing CO2 emissions of transport by 60%; • Eliminating conventionally driven vehicles from cities(2030: - 50 %); • Reducing emissions of maritime transport by 40%; • Increasing modal share of rail and inland waterwaysto 50% in medium and long distance transport(2030: 30%); • Tripling the length of high speed rail network by 2030; • Connect large airports to rail; • Deploy innovative technologies (e.g. H2, LNG; ERTMS); • ….

  5. PossibleApproaches and Measures • 1. Multimodality and Modal Shift: • Legal framework and transport market conditions(laws, regulations, taxes, tolls, subsidies, …)=> applicable only to a limited extent! • Improving multimodal mobility and logistics. • 2. Improvements of Transport Infrastructure: • Improving multimodal mobility and logistics (in particular rail, inland waterways, ports, terminals, …):TEN-T => high investments! • 3. Innovative Traffic Management and Drive Systems: • ITS, ERTMS, RIS, … • Electric, H2, LNG, bio-fuels, ...)

  6. 2. THE NEW TEN-T POLICY

  7. TEN-T development since 1996 • 1996 TEN-T Guidelines for EU 15 (Dec. 1692/96/EC): dense basic network + 14 Priority Projects (“Essen”); • 1997 Pan-European Corridors I – X (“Helsinki Corridors”); • 1999 TINA (“Transport Infrastructure Needs Assessment”); • 2004 Guidelines revision - EU27 (Dec. 884/2004/EC): dense basic network (“old” MS) + TINA network (“new” MS) + 30 Priority Projects (TEN-T PP's: “Van Miert”); • 2007 Extension of major TEN axes to neighbouring countries (“De Palacio”: COM/2007/0032); • 2010 Recast of the TEN-T Guidelines (Dec. 661/2010/EU); • 2013 TEN-T Policy Review + Connecting Europe Facility (CEF).

  8. The new TEN-T • Correspond with the objectives of the Treaty; • Reflect a European planning perspective; • Form a dual layer (Comprehensive and Core) “network” connecting EU with neighbouring countriesand the rest of the world; • Comprise all modes of transport (and their linkages):road, rail, sea and inland waterway, ports, RRT's, airports; • Take into account environment and climate needs, • Comprise technological innovation:traffic information and management systems,infrastructure for innovative power and fuel distribution • Overlap with other, also previous concepts:PETC’s, TEN-T PP's, De Palacio axes;ERTMS and rail freight corridors.

  9. TEN-T Comprehensive & Core Network • The Comprehensive Network is the dense basic network, • to ensure regional accessibility, • comprising all modes of transport; • determined by Member States, acc. to certain rules (updating the TEN-T of 1996) • The Core Network is a subset of the Comprehensive Network: • the strategically most important nodes and links, • comprising all modes of transport, • equipped with innovative technology applications; • determined by a special methodology:mixed geographical-traffic demand driven approach,2 steps: nodes and links(replacing the TEN-T PP's of 2004); • implementation by 2030.

  10. TEN-T Core Network Corridors (1) • 9 Core Network Corridors selected within the Core Network, • to improve coordination of implementation:governance structure:11 European Coordinators (1 per Corridor, + MoS, ERTMS)Corridor Forum (all relevant stakeholders); • to optimise multimodal operation for passengers & freight(with particular focus on nodes); • to enhance deployment of innovative technologies(pilot applications); • Selected to include politically complex projects, in particular border crossing, following previous PETC's,TEN-T PP's, De Palacio axes, ERTMS and rail freight corridors (where part of the Core Network). • Rail and inland waterway considered as the backbone.

  11. TEN-T Core Network Corridors (2) Corridors: Baltic-Adriatic North Sea - Baltic Mediterranean Orient/East Med Scandinavian-Mediterranean Rhine-Alpine Atlantic North Sea - Mediterranean Rhine-Danube (Final version of map not available.)

  12. TEN-T Policy Review – the Process Public consultation 30.04.2009 Green Paper February 2009 Expert Groups Oct. 2009 – May 2010 Public consultation 15.09.2010 TEN-T Days Zaragoza June 2010 1) TEN-T Planning Methodology Network Planning, Impact Assessment:February – June 2011 Draft Guidelines (EC Proposal): 19 October 2011 Negotiations with Council, Parliament and Trilogue: late 2011 – mid 2013 Formal Decision by Council and EP: late 2013 (?)

  13. 3. "CONNECTING EUROPE FACILITY"(CEF)

  14. CEF Allocation (2014 – 2020) • 23,2 B€,of which 10 B€ from Cohesion Fundare earmarked for cohesion countries; • 80 – 85 % (“multi-annual programme”) for:- 3 horizontal priorities,- Core Network Corridors,- other sections of the Core Network. • 15 – 20 % (“annual programme”) for- further projects of the Core Network and of the Comprehensive Network (in particular innovation, ITS); • Innovative financing instruments (project bonds, PPP); • In general, CEF does not apply for road projects(except: ITS, safe parking areas, alternative fuels).

  15. CEF Funding Rates • up to 50% for studies; • up to 20% for investments in general; • up to 30% for bottlenecks; • up to 40% für border crossing projects(only rail and inland waterway); • up to 50% für ITS-projects and innovation; • up to 85% in cohesion countries(acc. to the rules of CohesionFund). • Actual allocation of funds upon project applications:- calls by TEN-TEA,- project evaluation (by independent experts),- "EU added value",- project maturity (to ensure absorption of money),- ratio applied volumes vs. available budget.

  16. 4. "GREEN CORRIDORS"

  17. "Green Corridors" Base of the concept: Freight Transport Logistics Action Plan (DG MOVE, 2007):- Green Corridors,- e-freight, e-maritime, … "Green Corridors": The ideais to bundle, along a corridor, all measures to enhanceoverallefficiency and sustainability,includingminimising: - CO2emissions, - othernegative impacts on environment and human life, This comprises measures in followingfields:- multimodality and modal shift, - improvements of transport infrastructure, - innovative traffic management and driving systems (covering all modes of transport).

  18. "Green" Core Network Corridors The concept includes operational aspects, which allows: a particular focus on multimodality and modal shift, supported by e-freight, etc.:- ports, road-rail terminals,- airports; an extension to include passenger transport; a particular focus on urban nodes:- optimised linkage long, medium, short distance- city logistics, - public transport. This is in fully line with the goals of BESTFACT.

  19. Long-Term and Final Goals Input expectedfrompast, current and future projects/studies, e.g.:SuperGreen,Bothnian Green Logistic Corridor,Swiftly Green,BESTFACT, … ExtensionfromCore Network Corridorsto the entireCore and – finally – Comprehensive Network: => a "Green TEN-T"=> a "Green Transport System".

  20. 5. THE BOTHNIAN CORRIDOR

  21. Core Network Baltic Region

  22. The Bothnian Corridor (1) • The economic artery of Northern Europe • The most important mining industry in the European Union • The strong growth of Northern Europe has a significant impact on the economy in the European Union.

  23. The Bothnian Corridor (2) • 90 % of EU iron ore mining in N. Sweden • Significant share of EU production of Zn, Cu, Ag, Au, … • 20 mill. ha forests in N. Bothnia and Lapland

  24. The Bothnian Corridor (3) Haparandabanan:Opening15 January 2013! North Bothnia line (270 km)Umea – Lulea: As part of the TEN-T core network to be implementedby 2030!
