  3. Outline The PETC III and its integration into the international transport corridors and axes - a report on current affairs Infrastructure situation on the PETC III Some details of the work programme of the Secretariat for the PETC IIII for the year 2009 4. Expert Meeting „Railfreight in the Pan-European Transport Corridor III“ on February 24th 2009 in Dresden

  4. 1. The PETC III and its integration into the international transport corridors and axes PETC VI PETC II PETC IX PETC V PETC IV

  5. The European Commission published in 2007 the Communication „Guidelines for transport in Europe and neighbouring regions“ „Extension of the major trans-European transport axes to the neighbouring countries“.

  6. The commission defined 5 major transnational transport axes (proposed by the High Level Group II under the direction of Ms. Loyola de Palacio).

  7. Motorways of the Sea Northern Axis Central Axis South Eastern Axis South Western Axis

  8. Priorities for the DG TREN are: - the expansion/upgrading of infrastructure in the axes and - the implementation of „horizontal measures“.

  9. The PETC III is fully integrated into the Central Axis and consequently, a substantial part of this axis

  10. Omsk Narvik Central Axis 1 Dresden – Katowice – Lviv – Kiev (PETC III) 2 Budapest - Lviv 7 3 Moscow – Kiev - Odessa 5 Moscow 4 Inland Waterways (Dnepr): Belarus – Kiev - Odessa 5 Inland Waterways: Don – Volga – Baltic Sea Minsk 6 Railway line Minsk - Kiev 6 3 5 Warzawa 7 Kiev – Charkov – Trans-Siberian – Caucasus Berlin Kiev 4 Dresden 1 7 Budapest 2 Odessa

  11. The routes of the Central Axis named in the HLG report include approximately • 9,000 km track lines • 9,000 km roadways • 5,000 km inland waterways • and the following participating countries: • Belarus • Germany • Hungary • Poland • Russia • Ukraine

  12. What is the current state in Brussels to manage the Central Axis? There exists a working group for the Central Axis, in this group all countries are represented which belong to the Central Axis and other interested countries. The EU COM appreciates the activities of the member countries of the PETC III (D / PL / UA) and of the Secretariat of PETC III very high. The EU COM preferes the Secretariat of the PETC III as "Nucleos for the Secretariat for the entire Central Axis“.

  13. The inclusion of the countries Slovakia Moldova Romania in the Central Axis will be discussed.

  14. The Secretariat of the PETC III is integrated in the drafting of the future strategy for the management of the axis. The working group will deliver its report by autumn 2009. The management of the Central Axis will start in 2011.

  15. Important issues to be decided What are the rules for cooperation between the countries in future (MoU or Treaty)? What is the best way to create the management for the Central Axis in the future? The financing of the management is a completely open question up to now.

  16. 2. Infrastructure situation on the PETC III Germany: The railfreight route Knappenrode – Horka – border G/PL – (Weglinec)

  17. Lutherstadt Wittenberg The Railway line Knappenrode-Horka-Border G/PL- Weglinec Jüterbog Rep.of Poland Saxony-Anhalt Brandenburg Section Knappenrode- border G/PL- 55 km Falkenberg Neisse-bridge Border G/PL Ruhland Röderau Großenhain Knappenrode Saxony Horka section Knappenrode – Horka –Border D/PL (55 km) not electrified only one track Görlitz

  18. Old Neisse bridge between Horka and Bielawa dolna

  19. Development of the infrastructure in Poland (rail and road)

  20. Development of the infrastructure in the Ukraine (rail and road)

  21. BYELORUSSIA RUSSIA POLAND Kyiv L’viv Kharkiv Creating of high speed Rail connection - І stage - ІІІ stage - ІІ stage - ІVstage • Ways of high speed rail • connection to Russia and • Western Europe (perspectives) RAIL HIGH SPEED CONNECTION

  22. Project Connects Polish/EU and Ukrainian rail systems with 80 km 1435 mm track to Lviv The city administration Lviv is planning an UIC 1435 mm rail track between Przemysl and Lviv. The route should insure a fast connection (speed > 200 km/h) between Poland and the Ukraine. The project includes a new railway infrastructure as well as a new passenger terminal in Lviv, depots and maintenance facilities.

  23. The current situation in this project is the following: The Lviv Oblast State administration, the Lviv Council and a consortium of Dutch companies prepare a feasibility study. The economic crisis is the reason for postponing the project.

  24. REHABILITATION OF UKRAINIAN ROAD SECTION OF PETC 3, 5 The Ukraine developes a new road connection between Lviv and Krakovec as „concession road“ (and after completion in 2012 it should be a toll road). ROAD Krakovec 224 км 180,5км 93 км 220 км 114 км 2003 – 2005 2006 – 2007 2006 – 2010 І project Chop – Stryi .

Euro CreditEBRD –200 mln. euro Credit EIB – 200 mln. euro

  25. 3. Some details of the work programme of the Secretariat for the PETC III for the year 2009: main objective is the cooperation with the DG TREN in the drawing up of an administrative model for the Central Axis furthermore data-collecting on the progress of upgrading measures for the corridor infrastructure implementation of the decisions adopted by the 9th meeting of the Steering Committee and preparation of the 10th meeting implementation of a pilot train in the PETC III market analysis for freight transport in the Corridor

  26. intensification of activities of „Freight Transport“ working group • support of construction measures on the railway freight transport route German/Polish border via Horka to Knappenrode • updating the presentation/exhibition, which provides information on the PETC III • improvement of clearance procedures at the border-crossing points • discussion with the relevant authorities about the realisation of the Interreg Project “Harmonisation of economic and infrastructure development in the Pan-European Transport Corridor III (EU-CORe III)”

Result: Transnational Development Strategy Executive Summary Approach of the Strategy in the European context Vision: Corridor of the regions Strategic Positioning of PETC III Regional Development Scenarios and Transnational Strategy Expected Effects Implementation of the Transnational Strategy

  29. The “Strategy” is the result of a very ambitious project and it includes the most important measures for a future improvement of infrastructure in the PETC III. In the next period we should discuss together with the representatives of the corridor- regions about the implementation of first steps.

  30. 4.Expert Meeting „Railfreight in the Pan-European Transport Corridor III“ The meeting took place on February 24th 2009 in Dresden. 41 participants (Polish and German Transport Ministries, Saxon Ministry for Economic Affairs and Labour, Polish and German railway companies, the Ukrainian embassy in Germany, freight forwarders, representatives of the chemical industry and private operators of railway routes and hubs) discussed the situation and the future of goods transport in the corridor. The possibilities for improvement of the performance of the PETC III for rail freight transportation were priorities in the meeting.

  31. Foundations for a successful railway goods transport are Uniform competitive pricing in the involved railway companies Upgrading the infrastructure of the PETC III Reducing the prices for the rail usage in Poland Modernisation of the broad gauge-wagon park.

  32. As result of the meeting were set priorities for the future work: • border-handling processes in the PETC III • elimination of the limitation of axle load on the railway lines (<22 t) in the PETC III • completion of the works (upgrading and electrification) in the railway line Knappenrode – Horka – German/Polish border • development of phytosanitary control facilities in Medyka • etc.

  33. The highlight of the meeting has been the procedure: „Signing of the cooperation agreement between ITL Railway company and the container transport centre LISKI in the Ukraine“.

  34. The PanEuropean Transport Corridor III is up to date! Thank you very much for your attention and… bye bye
