• In Cohesion countries, pre-identified Rail & Road projects* may also be financed through the Funding Objective 4,Cohesion Call (Annex I & II), with a co-financing rate up to 85%

• Project proposals related to safe and secure infrastructure, including safe and secure parking areas on the Core Network should apply to:

• Funding Objective 2 (Annex II)• Multi-Annual Call, or • Funding Objective 4, Cohesion Call (Annex V)

*Annex I of Reg 1316/2013

Please, bear in mind…

• The requested EU contribution to the eligible costs should be no less than €500,000 for studies and no less than €1,000,000 for works

• Costs incurred between 1 January 2014 and the completion date of the action may be considered as eligible*

• Indirect costs are not eligible

*The maximum duration of Annual Actions is 3 years, with the possibility of a 12-month extension in duly justified and exceptional cases

Rail sector: types of interventions

• Both studies and works on cross-border sections

• Studies and works aiming at accelerating the removal of bottlenecks

• Studies contributing to the start-up of the implementation of works on sections most critical for the success of the network

• Connections between the rail network and other transportmodes

Eligible infrastructure components (Article 11 - 1315/2013)

• High-speed and conventional railway lines

• Freight terminals and logistic platforms

• Stations along the railway lines indicated in Annex I (maps) 1315/2013. Rail infrastructure components are eligible, but passenger buildings, parkings and other commercial parts related to stations are not funding priorities!

Eligible infrastructure components (Article 11 - 1315/2013)

• Connections of stations, freight terminals and logistic platforms to the other modes

• Associated equipment (e.g. electrification systems, equipment for the boarding and alighting of passengers, automatic gauge-changing facilities)

• Telematic applications for passengers (e.g. reservation and payment systems) and freight (e.g. real-time monitoring of freight and trains)>>> MAP FO 1, Annex 3

Infrastructure requirements 2030/2050 (Article 12 – 1315/2013)

• ERTMS (exception: isolated network)

• Compliance with "Interoperability" Directive 2008/57/EC

• Compliance with "Freight terminals" Directive 2012/34/EU• Connections of stations, freight terminals and logistic

platforms to the other modes• Electrification (exception: isolated network)• Telematic applications for passengers and freight

>>> MAP Funding Objective 1, Annex 3

Priorities for rail infrastructure (Article 13 – 1315/2013)

• Deploying ERTMS

• Migrating to 1435 mm nominal track gauge• Mitigating the impact of noise and vibration caused by rail

transport• Enhancing interoperability

• Improving the safety of level crossings• Connecting railway transport infrastructure with inland

waterway port infrastructure

Standards

Comprehensive Network (2050)• Electrification• ERTMS• 1435mm gauge• Connection with freight terminals

Core Network (2030)• Comprehensive network plus:• freight lines (>100 km/h, 740 m train length, 22.5t axle load)

Road sector: types of interventions

• Both studies and works on cross-border sections only

• Exception: for countries with no railway network or an isolated network, studies and works on:

removal of bottlenecks and coordinated development and management of road networks (AP) or

other infrastructure projects (MAP)

• All road projects must be compliant with the road (2008/96/EC) and tunnel (2004/54/EC) safety directives

Eligible infrastructure components (Article 17 – 1315/2013)

• High-quality roads (motorways, express roads or conventional strategic roads)

• Parking and rest areas >>>MAP FO 2, Annex II• Associated equipment (equipment for traffic

management, information and route guidance, for the levying of user charges)

• Telematic applications, including ITS >>>MAP FO 3, Annex III

• Freight terminals and logistic platforms• Connections of the freight terminals and logistic platforms

to the other modes• Coach stations

Infrastructure requirements (Article 18 – 1315/2013)

• Safety of road transport infrastructure is assured, monitored and, when necessary, improved in accordance in line with Directive 2008/96/EC

• Road tunnels over 500 m in length compliant with Directive 2004/54/EC

• Interoperability of toll collection systems is assured in accordance with Directive 2004/52/EC and Decision 2009/750/EC

• Deployed intelligent transport system compliant with Directive 2010/40/EU and its implementing regulations

Priorities for road infrastructure (Article 19 - 1315/2013)

• Improvement and promotion of road safety

• Use of ITS • Introduction of new technologies and innovation for the

promotion of low carbon transport• Provision of appropriate parking space for commercial

users offering an appropriate level of safety and security• Mitigation of congestion on existing roads

Standards

Comprehensive Network (2050)• High quality roads, i.e. motorways, expressways,

conventional strategic roads

Core Network (2030)[Comprehensive Network plus:]• Rest areas on motorways at least every 100 km, including

appropriate parking space for commercial road users• Availability of clean fuels

Accessibility

Cristóbal Millán de la LastraHead of Unit C2 - INEA

2014 CEF Transport Calls Info Days Brussels, 10 October 2014

Transport infrastructure shall allow seamless mobility and accessibility for all users, in particular elderly people, persons of reduced mobility and passengers with a disability

The design and construction of transport infrastructure shall comply with the relevant requirements laid down in Union law.

Article 37 –EU Regulation 1315-2013

Actions for better accessibility to transport infrastructure

• Annex 8 of the Annual Call for Proposals

• General objective: enhance the accessibility to rail infrastructure and to support the creation of inter-modal transport chains for persons with disabilities/ reduced mobility

• Both studies and works

• Proposed Action must be part of a bigger works project (having a wider scope)

Co-funding rates and maximum available funding

Types of Projects %(a) Studies 50(b) Works 30*

Maximum available funding €10 million

*30% of the eligible cost of (adaptation) works, not exceeding in any case 10% of the total eligible cost of works

• Accessibility to railway stations, e.g. lifts, ramps, etc. Works must be in compliance with Commission Decision 2008/164/EC (TSI relating to persons with reduced mobility)

• Accessible transport chains, e.g. accessible multi-modal terminals or connections between terminals for different modes

• Information systems for passengers with disabilities/ reduced mobility, e.g. collection of data on the accessibility features of train stations.
