  1. ROUND TABLE: Integration of the Iberian rail network in the European transport system EU added value, progressesand challenges of Priority Project 3 Carlo Secchi European coordinator PP3 – PP19

  2. TEN-T Priority Project 3: the main link • HSL South-West Europe – three branches: • Iberian branch: ES-PT line Madrid-Lisbon-Porto: synergies with PP16 (freight) et PP19 / 8 (Porto-Vigo..-La Coruña – Atlantic line) • Atlantic branch : connection FR-ES; • HSL Madrid-Valladolid-Basque country-Bordeaux–Paris; • Freight: toward an Atlantic freight corridor (added capacity);  Bilbao (Port) / PP19 – PT) • Mediterranean branch: connectionFR-ES; HSL Madrid – Barcelona -…Lyon - Paris; Freights: link to Barcelona port,synergies with ERTMS Corridor D / PP19 – Valencia port) Carlo Secchi European coordinator PP3 – PP19

  4. The European Added-Value High Speed line FR-ES-PT linking the Capitals and main towns (Barcelona, Lyon, Bordeaux, Oporto…, First interoperable connections between the Iberian Peninsula and the rest of EU: a major achievement for the internal market • Overcoming a major natural barrier (the Pyrenees): • rebalance the modal split • bridging the gap between adjacent regions so far set apart (Europe-making) Contribution to efficient multimodal freight transport : linking ports (Barcelona, Valencia..,), synergies with ERTMS Corridor D, PP16 Consistent with EU2020 « energy-climate » Attraction of Private Capital to TEN-T Carlo Secchi European coordinator PP3 – PP19

  5. Main achievements during 2009/2010 • Iberian branch : works on-going on 80 km of platform (Caceres-Mérida-Badajoz); signature of the Contract for Poceirão-Caia • Atlantic branch : works launched/on-going throughout Valladolid-Burgos and Vitoria-Bergara-Bilbao; tender for Tours-Bordeaux new line launched; 1000 m corridors for the GPSO defined (Comité de Pilotage) • Mediterranean branch: connectionBarcelona-Perpignan advanced (provisional op. 2010-2011, full new line ~2012) - tender negotiation for CNM (Nimes-Montpellier bypass) Carlo Secchi European coordinator PP3 – PP19

  6. Future challenges • Keep with this pace in implementing the project in spite of the crisis (CNM, Bergara-S. Sebastian, Lisbon-Poceirão …) vs. local consensus • Ensure interoperability: in terms of Gauge, Signalling and Control (ERTMS) • Establish Corridor management / joint operations: • new servicesgenerate/attract cross-border demand Carlo Secchi European coordinator PP3 – PP19
