Conference on corridor No. 5 Conference on reviving of „The Silk Route”
„The New Silk Road” - TRACECA • "The New Silk Road," or Transport Corridor Europe-Caucasus-Asia (TRACECA), was enthusiastically received by European Union (EU) and the United States when it was proposed in May, 1993, by Central Asian leaders meeting with the EU in Brussels. The vision of a superhighway not only of asphalt, but of rails, pipelines, and fiber-optic cables stretching from Rotterdam to China’s Yellow Sea Coast seemed full of promise not only to firms who would build these systems, but also to those who sought to prosper from the region’s wealth in minerals, cotton, and its best-known commodities, oil and natural gas.Source: http://www.american.edu/TED/silkroad.htm#r3

Asian Highway Network 2004 – UN ESCAP(=ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COMMISSION FOR ASIA AND THE PACIFIC)
Asian Highway Network 2004 – UN ESCAP • The Intergovernmental Agreement on the Asian Highway Network will come into force on 4 July 2005, giving new boost to the flow of international traffic in this region. The agreement, which has so far been signed by 27 member states is stipulated to enter into force on the ninetieth day following the date on which the Governments of at least eight states have consented to be bound by the agreement. The approval of the Government of Cambodia in April satisfied this requirement. Now eight countries, namely Cambodia, China, Japan, Myanmar, Republic of Korea, Sri Lanka, Uzbekistan and Viet Nam have ratified, accepted or approved the agreement.Source: http://www.unescap.org/ttdw/common/TIS/AH/AH_into_force.asp

Hungarian interpretation of the Pan-European Corridors (PEC)
A possible inter-regional corridor network structure in Hungary Main elements: three east-west corridors, four north-south corridors and additional rectangular elements. The model also demonstrate two sensitive areas, the resort area of lake Balaton and the conurbation of Budapest as avoidable zones for transit. Thick line shows the suggested crossing of the country by the two most important pan-European corridors (No. 4-and No. 5)

Common European transport system, or extension of Trans-European corridors? • Common Pan-European maps are necessary • Záhony/ Chop: co-operation andpermeability:avoiding the construction of new sharpfrontier-line • Think in networks not just in corridors • Grid structure of the inter-regional networks • And: do not forget the other levels ofdomestic and local relations:without those the big corridors does not bring benefitand prosperity
