1.2.Project summary

The EC has recently published the Proposal for a Regulation on Union guidelines for the development of the trans - European transport network -COM (2011) 650/2, that defines the long term strategy for the Ten-T policy up to 2030/2050 and proposes Corridors relevant for the SEE area. By creating a multilevel formed by Transport Ministries, Regions, Universities, Chambers of Commerce, transport stakeholders and European transport association A large and coherent platform will contribute to rationalising and optimizing the existing network of South Eastern Europe with the aim to extend the Eu transport network ( core and comprehensive) to the western Balkans and develop a single transport system for SEE and forging new approach with infrastructure and transport services even in a time of austerity. The joint evaluation of the proposed extension of the comprehensive Eu network to the Western Balkans together with its implication at the internal level (on national spatial plan and on national budget perspectives) and at transnational level such as the level of the short term and long term intervention, the identification of the possible extension of the Eu core network will be clearly addressed in relation with Eu methodology and interfaced with the results of the transport model with the aim to balance the capacity of the Eu corridors with cost-effectiveness. Concrete initiatives for across the SEE will be jointly carried out in order to discourage the risk of an investment hiatus by addressing the cross border-issues and focusing on the identification of short medium term investments on bottleneck which will be considered both from a physical and administrative perspective. The first web-based ITC interface will be created for exchanging relevant information on technical and administrative aspects of rail and road border crossing points of the SEE.



2/156

In this context, in order for this axis to operate successfully, the efficiency of European freight transport must be improved and the WB considered as integrated. Greater interoperability and the easing of across borders procedures are critical to the corridor' success including identifying viable intermodal connections between rail, road and sea The project will focus on the implementation of common standards across the different administrative procedure that represent together with the company discrimination?s, the real hidden cost of the non integration of the SEE area. Moreover it will Contribute to the optimisation of international borders management, that includes reducing cross-border transit time, increase regional and international trade by improving border crossings, ensuring that national trade facilitation procedures are compatible with markets and administrative procedures The project will promote institutional and stakeholders permanent cooperation in order to provide concrete actions and projects to contribute to the Danube strategy for Danube regional, the Adriatic strategy and the Black sea synergy: this platform will serve as a basis for the implementation of the One stop shop along the selected corridor. A tree-layer approach will be used in order to combine and interlink the institutional dimension with the transport model analysis and the contribution of the transport economic dimension on solving the cross-border issues which remain the core part of the project. The project will adopt a common transport model for the entire South East Area, integrated with the rest of Europe and compatible with the current EU system, adequate to be exploited also by public administrations and transport operators The core part of the project will be consecrated on Improving the cross-border mobility of the rail freight flows. Adopt concrete measures in order to cut the running time in the cross-border points and to ease up the existing bottlenecks in the SEE area

2.3. Description of the Partnership

Institutional capacity and technical expertise are crucial for the successful achievement of the project aims. This was born in mind for the entire process of the definition and actual creation of the entire partnership. Each partner was chosen for its geographical position and relevance, institutional coverage and decisional power, technical expertise and know how. The latter parameters were observed according to the projects rationale and partners relevance to achieve the foreseen objectives. The selection was made through the CEI previously acquired contacts and through SEE portal. Therefore, the SEETAC partnership embraces institutional bodies (national and regional), transport experts provided through transport associations, external experts, researches and university academics and chambers of commerce. It therefore includes 14 ERDF PPs from 7 SEE countries, 3 IPA PPs from Albania, Croatia and Serbia, and one ENPI PP partner from Ukraine. More specifically, there are four Transport Ministries, two EU (Austrian and Italian) and two non-EU (Albania and Croatia), 4 Regional Authorities (FVG Region, Veneto Region, Smolyan Region, and Region of Epirus), 4 major Universities (A.U.T:H., VIU, and UPB), 2 Transport institute (ATE and PIL), 2 Chambers of commerce (UCV and BCC) and 2 transport operators. The project will ensure that different levels of administration as well as different types of organisations participate in project activities. Thus, all partners will be involved in transnational activities, by participating in partner meetings and events, collaborating with other project partners, by contributing with their experience, knowledge and their own national information to the realization of the project activities. What is more, the CEI and the EU transport network (CER, ERF and EIA) will assure broad dissemination of the project activities to the whole SEE area and beyond. Many partners have already worked together on other occasions (i.e. transport ministries through the SEETAC project, SEETO, etc) and have proven experience in EU funded projects, transport studies and analysis. This will for sure ease the exchange of experience and information and will ensure the correct development of activities. Regarding the project rationale all partners share In the South East Europe Area, there is a great number of border crossing stations that are characterized by long waiting times, unpredictable customs services, burdensome administrative procedures - all leading to additional transport and trade costs for manufacturers and importers/exporters, in particular in the rail freight transport. This fact will bring partners to cooperate closely since they have similar problems and must respond to the same criticalities in their own countries. The benefits will therefore be commonly shared and therefore they will also act in the interest of the country/organisation they represent. A lack of reliability, flexibility and interoperability, international disputes over cross-border sections, high



7/156

costs and long loading times in ports and terminals, which prompted the shift from rail to road transport in the mid 20th century, are again threatening to undermine rail freight's competitiveness, despite high oil prices and rail's superior capacity and environmental credentials. All partners have Proven experience Projects Partners are All partners will be involved in transnational activities Ministries , Chamber of Commerce, Regional Authorities

The Central European Initiative (CEI) is the oldest regional organisation of its kind: established in November 1989 by Italy, Austria, Hungary and Yugoslavia, it has become the largest regional initiative comprising 18 Member States of Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe. Once predominantly oriented towards policy dialogue, the CEI has progressively added economic growth and human development as pillars of cooperation with a focus on capacity building, sharing experience and know-how transfer. By promoting ?regional cooperation for EU integration?, the CEI has assisted its Member Countries in their European path and has developed a number of tools meant to encourage mutual confidence and teamwork in a transnational, interregional and cross-border perspective. The current CEI Membership includes 9 EU and 9 non-EU countries. In the last 10 years, the CEI has supported various initiatives with the ultimate aim to enhance regional cooperation and contribute to the EU integration process. Its member countries have benefitted from the CEI financial instruments, mainly from: a) the CEI Cooperation Fund (a multilateral financial tool for small scale regional projects such as seminars, workshops or short training courses which is totally funded by all Member States); b) the Italian Trust Fund at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development - EBRD (funding technical assistance assignments setting the ground for EBRD investments); c) the Know-How Exchange Programme ? KEP (funding capacity building and transfer of good practice to CEI non-EU Member States). The CEI member states took also advantage of the CEI Science & Technology Network (supporting mobility of researchers across the CEI area) and the CEI University Network (promoting academic cooperation). From its establishment CEI has been committed by its associated countries to organise the Head of Government and ministerial yearly meetings and has a dynamic network of focal points composed by high level officials working for the SEE Ministries of Transport. Furthermore, since 2004 the CEI has been particularly active in the field of EU-funded projects, both as partner and lead partner. The CEI has successfully implemented 11 projects funded under various EU programmes in the timeframe 2004-2010. Currently, the CEI is implementing 5 projects out of which 3 as LP. Currently the CEI is leading two relevant transport projects: -South East Europe Transport Cooperation Axis (SEETAC) under the SEE programme -Accessibility and Development for the Re-launch of the Inner Adriatic Area (ADRIA A) funded under the Cross-border Cooperation Programme Italy ? Slovenia 2007-2013. In this context, the CEI has worked and is currently working with ministries, high level transport experts, regional authorities and transport operators in the SEE areas and beyond. Last but not least, the CEI has established institutional links with the European Commission- DG Mobility and Transport and the European Parliament-Transport and Tourism Committee. Recently it has been involved in the European Union Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR) implementation as full-fledged stakeholder in the transport EUSDR priority, thanks to several bilateral meetings with the Slovenian Transport Priority area Coordinator.

2.4.1.4. Partnership and management experience

CEI organises and holds annual meetings of the CEI Heads of Government, the CEI Ministers for Foreign Affairs and CEI Minsters of Transport or Economy. Regular meetings of the CEI Committee of National Coordinators, responsible for definition, co-ordination and implementation of the co-operation?s projects are also held. The CEI EU Projects' Unit was created in 2004 to facilitate the international partnership and to enhance the



10/156

involvement of the CEI member countries in the projects' management and to strengthen its relation with the European Union. Since 2004 the CEI has managed more than 17 EU Funded Projects, with 4 Projects as Lead Partner under different EU programmes. Throughout its 20 years of operation it has established strong link with national and local authorities of its member countries, as well as with other networks of the EU. The CEI team is composed by international staff, with proficiency in English and in other relevant tongues for the SEE region, with outstanding project management experience. The CEI is supported by a modern office with necessary infrastructure at the CEI premises in Trieste with a relevant administrative back up. The CEI expertise ranges from the content and financial management to administration and communication activities with internal staff properly trained. Moreover, the CEI staff, has acquired vast experience in the organisation of high level meetings (i.e. CEI Ministerial meetings, SEETAC Transport Ministries, SEETAC presentation before the European Parliament and European Commission and other relevant high level meetings). The CEI will involve in the ACROSSEE project 5 staff personnel: 1 Project Manager, 1 Financial officer, 1 Communication Officer, and other 2 project officers that will contribute to the overall coordination, administrative and financial management of the project. The CEI, besides the overall project management and coordination (WP1management) will also be de WP Leader of Wp4 (development of transport model).

2.4.1.5. Description of previous participation to other relevant EU funded projects

The CEI Executive Secretariat has build up a relevant and successful experience with different transnational projects by coordinating the related project activities financed trough different EU programmes and funds, both in the previous and in the current programming period, (i.e. INTERREG IIIB CADSES, in EU FP6 and other specific EU transnational and cross-border, INTEEREG IVC, SEE, FP7, CENTRAL EUROPE, Cross-border Cooperation Programme Italy Slovenia) -11 projects implemented with a total value of almost 10 Million (i.e. AB LANDBRIDGE, PORTUS, ZIPNET, PROTECTING ADRIATIC PORTS, CROSS-5, WINS-ICT etc.) -5 on going Projects, 3 as lead Partner and 2 as partner ( SEETAC, ADRIA A, CERES, SUGAR, ATTAC). Total value of CEI managed budget (6,5 Million) The majority of the aforementioned projects deal with transport issues: SEETAC" - South East European Transport Axis Cooperation (South East Europe Programme, 2009-2012), "SUGAR" - Sustainable Urban Goods logistics Achieved by Regional and local policies (Interreg IVc, 2008-2012), "ADRIA-A" - Accessibility and development for the re-launch of the Internal Adriatic Area. On transport and accessibility in cross border cooperation (Cross-border cooperation programme Italy - Slovenia, 2010-2013), "RAVE SPACE" - Raising Awareness of Values of Space through the Process of Education (CADSES, 2005-2007), "ADRIATIC-BALTIC LANDBRIDGE" on researching potential for the establishment of an Adriatic - Baltic corridor (CADSES, 2006-2008), "ZIP-NET" -Realization and networking of ZIP Enterprises Centres (Adriatic New Neighbourhood Programme INTERREG/CARDS-PHARE, 2007-2008), "PORTUS"- Perspectives on Inter-Regional Transport Unitary Systems (Adriatic New Neighbourhood Programme INTERREG/CARDS-PHARE, 2007-2008) and "FASTER" - Fostering Alliances for Sustainable Transport in European Research (6FP Framework Programme, 2004-2007). It is important to single out two relevant transport project where the CEI acts as Lead Partner: - Firstly, the SEETAC (South East European Transport Axis Cooperation) project, where the CEI is working



11/156

with Ministries of the South East European area, European Commission DG Transport and Mobility and with the EU Parliament Committee in charge of transport with the aim of contributing to the integration of the Western Balkans in the EU transport system. The overall project objective is the establishment and implementation of an effective and coordinated South Eastern Transport Axis (SETA) framework, promoting and fostering the institutional cooperation between Pan European Corridors? structures and Member States in order to reach the EU's objectives of (i) transparency & information reliability; (ii) harmonised and efficient institutional framework and; (iii) rapid implementation of the transport priority projects. - Second, the ADRIA A project also sees the leading role of the CEI in managing a project on accessibility and transport between Italy and Slovenia with the aim to contributing to the accessibility and transport reorganisation in the entire cross-border area, in order to form a unique integrated Italian ? Slovene metropolitan transport area. The overall objective is to define the missing links in the Italian and Slovene railway infrastructural network to guarantee a common transport model for the whole territory. ACROSSEE project will capitalise on the aforementioned project findings by creating synergies and relying on the results. For this purpose a cross-fertilisation seminar will be organised by the LP during the Kick off meeting.

Realization of the of the Projects main object (elaboration of single model of European transport system) provides including into the subject of the project EU transport system extending to the countries of Western Balkans, Danube and Black Sea regions of South East Europe. Development and further including into this system the Ukrainian transport complexes should become one of the directions of the Project. The PP is important to include extra EU university and research centre, above all because Unkraine represents one of the main traffic generators for the area. Main constituents of his part (Ukrainian transport integration) are - unifications of rules and legislation reglamenting transport processes; - simplifying of procedures and processed of boarder crossing; - cooperation of administration and management; - standardization of technical and technological schemes; Implementation of the above objectives should be bases on integration of Ukrainian transport complex and its adaptation to the European one. Transport complex includes railways, motor roads, river (Danube), Black Sea ways and ports of Odessa region as logistical centers.


The PP has a wide experience of cooperation with the LP, through CEI University Network Joint Programme : - trans-Regional Cooperation in Maritime Transport and Sustainable Development - Maritime Transport and Infrastructure - Maritime Transport of Refrigerating Cargoes

3. Project description

3.1. Project background

Despite projections for rapid growth in Europe over the next 15 years, doubts still surround railfreight's capability to reap these potentially productive rewards following the expected economic turnaround. Since the early 1990s, the European Union (EU) has stepped up efforts to promote greater interoperability on its inland railfreight network because of growing competition from other economic regions. However, these measures - ranging from the adoption of technical operability standards, market liberalisation through the first and second railway packages and the Trans European Transport Network (TEN-T) Decisions- have been criticised for not going far enough. Moreover, full integration of Western Balkans in the network is still lagging behind, as in comparison with the 2004 De Palacio?s report (HLG). Still in the recent Commission?s proposal the Western Balkans network is included, but only in the comprehensive ( secondary and not financed level) part of EU new TEN-T network leaving the Balkans network still undefined and outside of the EU core TEN-T network. Regardless the Commission?s efforts, with the stagnate co-operation for easing the problems on cross border issues and despite huge growth in overall freight volumes in some relevant SEE ports, the modal split between road and rail, still appears not to be in line with the EU policies and with the single market?s efficiency. Relevant studies, including the SEE programme co-financed SEETAC project argue that the policies adopted by the EC since 2001, including the 30 TEN-T priority projects, as well as the low level of investments by member states, are only freezing the rate at which the transport is shifting from rail to road. At the heart of the recommendations for the WB ?s inclusion is the rapid adoption of the Transport community Treaty with the Western Balkans (WB). However, after years of exhausting negotiations it hasn?t been signed yet. The firm adoption of the recommendations included in the White Paper ?Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area ? Towards a competitive and resource efficient transport system? COM(2011)144 can be considered as coherent policy guidelines for all the continental transport policy. Specifically, it is worth saying that the only Regulation concerning the European Rail Network for Competitive Freight which includes the continuation of the EU network to the WB is represented by the Regulation EC 913/2010. In the latter the EU transport infrastructure is described as still fragmented - both geographically and between/within transport modes- marked by the permanence of missing links, in particular the cross-border sections, which represent a major obstacle for the free movement of goods along the freight corridors routs and their links with the Western Balkans. With the document ?The EU and its neighbouring regions: A renewed approach to transport cooperation?- (COM 2011) 415. the Commission underlined the importance to strengthen transport links with the neighbouring regions to the East and South of the EU. The plan calls for concrete measures, in the short and longer term, to make transport connections smoother, safer and more reliable. The EC has recently published the Proposal for a Regulation on Union guidelines for the development of the

trans - European transport network -COM (2011) 650/2, that defines the long term strategy for the Ten-T policy up to 2030/2050 and proposes Corridors relevant for the SEE area. The presence of the regional perspective is considered vital for the development of the Danube Region. The European Commission proposed on 8th December 2010 the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (Commission Communication), endorsed by the Member States at the General Affairs Council on 13th April 2011 that, inter alia, focuses on the key priority area :?to improve mobility and inter-modality?

3.2. Problem or challenge to be addressed

The extension of the EU rail network to the new member, candidate and accession countries is crating a significant opportunity for rail freight, however this potential remained not fully exploited, due to several reasons, including lack of co-ordination of investments ,unbalanced openness to the market and unexploited potential of the intermodal connectivity. Slow improvements in the completion of the Tent-t network in the SEE area, economic pressure from international trade and rising consumption patterns represents the current challenges. Freight transport is currently dominated by road transport despite the growing market for international rail freight transport, in particular among the main international corridors which is by far marked by high rail transit time are due to the long processing times at rail border-crossing points in the SEE. Furthermore the role of co-operation in developing efficient rail cross-border services is still explored on the road modality side: the issue of certificates and cabotage, language and stay permits are elements that affect the potential use of the rail services and the development of co-modality. In the South East Europe Area, there are a great number of border crossing stations that are characterized by long waiting times, unpredictable customs services, burdensome administrative procedures - all leading to additional transport and trade costs for manufacturers and importers/exporters, in particular in the rail freight transport. The identification of the cost of these burden within the total cost of the logistic chain is still unexplored as well as the identification and the assessment of best practice in cross border procedure in the light to promote to similar stakeholders. In this context a broad, comprehensive and reliable consumer demand analysis for better standard of the road and rail service in SEE is still missing. EU 913/2010 regulation concerning international rail freight, calls for enhanced cross-border coordination, in order to improve rail freight performance and increase its attractiveness to potential freight customers. On the basis of the EU methodology, the project will address the issues related to arguments for rationalising the network in SEE trough balancing the capacity with cost-effectiveness. The Western Balkan members of SEETO are signatories to an Addendum to a Memorandum of Understanding aimed at enhancing the South East European Railway Transport Area. Successful reform also required the adoption of secondary legislation, the establishment of required institutional, organizational, and financial arrangements, the issuance of operational decisions, and the staffing of new institutions. Specific challenges addressed by the project: ? Trans tool is still not considered properly suitable as planning instrument for Western Balkans. Urgent necessity to extend it to the western Balkans in an homogeneous way ? Local traffic flows are still not sufficiently considered in transport study at EU level thus not allowing a properly financial investment plan for the area Section geo-referenced (GIS system) ? Lack of updated information and properly analysis of reliable traffic impediments to the transport flows in cross border sections



73/156

? Lack of knowledge regarding the type of freight transport which enable a better planning and a proper organisation of the logistic chain ? Lack of co-operation between of rail operators, infrastructure managers, logistic and intermodal operators, relevant ministries is still lagging behind in the cross-border sections ? Necessity for optimizing the TEN-T extension on the western Balkans in order to fully include the main transport corridors (Core network) ? Missing definition of the main nodes primarily and secondary in the long distance strategy to enhanced the functioning of the European market in synergy with SEE ? Lack of shared solution for administrative and rail service cross border issues. ? Lack of WB MuU

3.3. Main objectives of the project

The general aim of the proposed project is to improve cross-border accessibility in the SEE area and to improve the coordination among SEE national administrations, in the light of EU legislation with a three-fold general objective: 1) contribute to the extension of the Tent-T network and optimising the existing SEE network implement action to foster intermodality and co-modality on transnational corridors to reach the White Paper targets by linking different regional strategies of SEE, including the WE and the traffic generators from Russia/Ukraine, Turkey and Suez. 2) Adopt a common transport model for the entire South East Area, integrated with the rest of Europe and compatible with the current EU system, adequate to be exploited also by public administrations and transport operators 3)Improve the cross-border accessibility of the freight flows. Adopt concrete measures in order to cut the running time in the cross-border points and to ease up the existing bottlenecks in the SEE area. Increase transparency of the operations The main aim of the project will be achieved through several specific objectives: -To analyse the status and needs of the exiting cross borders sections -Optimisation of the Ten-T planning in relation to the current and future traffic flows -Contribution to the optimisation of international borders management, that includes reducing cross-border transit time, increase regional and international trade by improving border crossings, ensuring that national trade facilitation procedures are compatible with markets and administrative procedures -To facilitate the movement of goods and mobility across borders by improving infrastructures facilities and institutional capacities -Promotion of an Integrated Border Management Strategy -To reduce non-tariff costs on trade and transport by strengthen and modernise the customs administrations and other border agencies -Integrates the efforts of the participating national authorities, European Commission in the context of Ten-T extension to the Western Balkans to collectively align procedures to EU standards -To contribute with pilot actions and recommendation to the new EU Financial Framework 2013-2020 -Creation of the first geo-referential model for the South East Europe and for the Western Balkans -Promoting economic cooperation among the countries in the region by focusing on efficient transit services -Involvement of various actors responsible for the organisation of transport, through networking and exchange of information activities; -Conceptualizing integration and coordination between organising authorities, cities and rural communities and operators at all levels: strategic, planning and technical; -Developing multi-modal transport action plans aimed at relieving missing links along cross-border

transport -Identifying investment needs into cross-border transport infrastructure and services. -Identifying existing financial instruments that can support the necessary infrastructure upgrading -support the recent proposals of the European Parliament- Transport and Tourism Committee that would see legislation surrounding rail liberalisation strengthened

3.4. Contribution of the project objectives to the objectives of the Priority and AoI (relevant ToR if

strategic call)

The project contributes to Priority Axis 3: improvement of the accessibility as it will foster the development of the accessibility network and will support multi-modal platforms. The project will foster the 3 operational objective ?Improve framework conditions for multi-modal platform, by promoting multimodal measures to increase border-crossings accessibility. Multimodal paths like corridors and section will be analysed thanks to an updated and realistic appraisal of the main international trade flows in the SEE, integrated for the first time, by external traffic generators like (Russia/Ukraine and Turkey/Suez) which are currently affect the Eu transport flows: A common transport model for the entire South East Area, integrated with the rest of Europe and compatible with the current EU system (trans-tool) will be created, this instrument represent an important technical device available by public administrations , project partners and transport operators. It will Improve the cross-border accessibility of the rail freight flows easing the planning of concrete measures for upgrading or designing infrastructure, spotting current and future bottlenecks in a dynamic way offering the public decision makers the first integrated planning tool for the entire SEE area. Their related impact on the existing and future infrastructure network will represent a indisputable elements of planning decision for public and private investments. Multimodal platforms and paths will be also identified in strict coherence with the macro regional strategy deployment (Danube strategy, Adriatic Ionic strategy, Black Sea synergy) thus gathering a comprehensive view of the entire SEE in relation to the common transport strategy and its geographic deployment perspectives in terms of accessibility especially for land locks regions In particular by tracking the administrative and legal issue the project will primarily foster the efficiency of the existing infrastructure promoting new guidelines and or amendments of existing legislation to allow the full development of an integrated European market, the removal of restrictions and contributing to the formation of undistorted prices. The project will contribute to the development of multimodal strategies for border crossing and will foster agreements for the promotion of multi-modality and develop informatics tools for multimodal platforms in order to ease up and standardize the customs procedures acceleration and Traffic freight flows monitoring The Identification of the main border cross stakeholders groups and their selected involvement within all the project?s steps preparation (the association of transport operators, infrastructure managers, infrastructure planners, industries, forwarders, carriers, shippers, logistic operators) will assure the solutions and actions taken by the project consortium can represent a tangible improvement for the accessibility in relation to 1) the capacity of the terminals and capacity assignment the selected section in the rail network 2) the advancement of interoperability measures 3) the easing of the administrative procedures 4) the adoption of guidelines or memorandum for the removal of major admin bottlenecks in the shot term.



75/156

Thanks to the present of 5 transport ministries (3 ERDF and 2 IPA), and the most important European transport Association, the project will serve as a wake up call to the transport ministries and relevant authorities in order to step up the implementation at EU and national level for urgent reforms in order to bring national legislation in line with the EU freight acquis. Moreover, the project will implement transnational actions in order to develop synergies and propose coherent arguments for the implementation and the extension of the Tent-T network to the Western Balkan. The long term sustainability of the results is ensured by the direct involvement of Ministeries, Regions and transport associations and EU ass.

3.5. Methodological approach

Optimisation and Evaluation of the impact of the Ten-T revision/core and comprehensive network ? based on results of WP4 the action will proceed by assessing of the impact of WBs? EU accession on the Ten-t. Moreover, the evaluation of the core and comprehensive network will be take into consideration the extension to the western Balkans. The optimisation of the network and its extension to the WB will consider: Additional of ?missing links? to close gaps or upgrading/additional cross border links , Removal of dead ends or isolated links, multimodal inclusion of Ports. The optimisation will follow EU criteria and monitored by interim meetings with DG MOVE in particular will: a) reflect the main long-distance/international traffic flows(existing / potential); b) correspond to the long-term needs of the Community and remain stable over a reasonably long period; c) include and propose to extend the ?Motorways of the Sea?; d) include supplementary infrastructure measures ;e) allow investment needs and projects to be derived top-down taking into account the commission proposal on TEN-T Guidelines. The central information system of the DG TREN was GETIS (Geographic Energy and Transport Information System) established in 2003, utilising the Eurogeographics and GISCO tools. This system is evolving with the TEN-tec system. The TRANS-TOOLS model was developed in the period 2004-2006 based on the existing system ETIS-BASE, while its second version was done in the framework of TEN-CONNECT in 2009, since the first version referred to the EU-25 and not EU-27. The TEN-tec information system consists today the monitoring platform for the TEN-T policy implementation. It is a Geographic Information System with reference to a network (links and nodes), but not adjusted for simulation purposes like those developed by ETIS, TRANSTOOLS and WORLDNET. Therefore, in the future, the synergy of these tools are to be examined. At time being, the TEN-tec is being updated and the third version of TRANSTOOLS is being developed, with foreseen completion the year 2014. In ACROSSEE project nodes and sections will be both goe-referenced for all SEE area. This is an attempt of creating a unified transport model for a region consisting of EU and non-EU countries, as for time being the TRANS-TOOLS model of the European Commission?s DG Mobility and Transport is limited to cover only the EU-27 network. In such a way the project will adopt a common transport model for the entire South East Area, in interlinked with already EU project SoNoRa, and fully compatible with Trans tool model.



76/156

The modelling area will be divided in two macro areas: the study area where the zoning level will be COMPATIBLE TO TRANSTOOL LEVEL and the accessing points to the area connected with the neighbouring countries. A comprehensive approach regarding the analysis of traffic flows will be used. three elements will be investigated: a) the main international routes of goods circulation and the type of goods ( rail and road surveys) b) how the existing freight transport supply meets the transport demand, c) where and how substantial transport improvements can be obtained through better services before relevant infrastructure investments d) Those three points need to be summed up by investigating how goods transport demand is evolving in SEE according to the international goods exchange and freight transport flows Rail and road Crossing points methodology: Taking into account the updated relevant literature, three type of analysis have been envisaged: a) capacity and infrastructure b) Administrative and legal 4) consumer demand and market requirements. In particular Direct field-surveys on the main cross border rail and road will be used in order to define a precise and realistic map of rail border crossingtraffic flows , capacity resrictions admin burden including real time transit. Investigation questionnaire pursued a com. meth. will be carried out at all rel. stakeholders

3.6. Transnational approach

Since the South East Europe is a mostly a transit region. the project will focus on core/comprehensive network with the aim of remove bottlenecks, facilitating the upgrading infrastructure and streamlining cross border transport operations for passengers and businesses along all the transport corridor crossing the entire SEE area. This will improve transnational connections between different modes of transport and contribute to the EU's climate change objectives for the whole area. The transnational approach of the project is inherent in the character of international flows and of the logistic chain of freight transport, comprised the related issues regarding the border crossing points. In order to reach the above mentioned objectives it is necessary that all the key stakeholders of the eligible area cooperate, in particular Ministries and transport operators. The project will take action from the TEN T primary and secondary network which in SEE identified four main corridors ? nr. I/V/VIII/X ?where the improvement efforts on the multimodal network and on intermodal services among ports, metropolitan areas and borders should be focused. The action will identify the cross-border section along these corridors, for the non EU countries the SEETO cross border map will be used- AS SEE may be seen as a sub European platform where external trade flows ? from Russia-Ukraine, Black Sea and Western Europe - and inner trade flows - due to the growth of local economies - overlap so that external transits are summed up to the local ones, through a limited infrastructure network supply. This is the reason why in the SEE area transport demand grows quicker than transport supply.: this affects negatively the economic system (congestion costs) and the environment system (pollution and decline). Numerous borders that penalise the SEE transport rail flows development which horizontal measures encompassing technical, normative and organisational improvements, as part of a single and coherent SEE mobility policy.



77/156

The mobility demand related to the interchange/transit of the main freight categories in the SEE area will be evaluate at the current supply stage and with possible evolutions. The aim of the Border Crossing action is to focus all necessary interventions on Border Cross Points (BCP) of the TEN T Corridors and SEETO maps. These improvements has a large transnational effect as they deal with regional economic development of the WB and deadlocks region. Moreover The implementation of these strategic transport links depends on the development of each single border crossing and bottlenecks in general as one single relevant impediment can undermine the smooth operation of a transport operator and change the traffic flows undermining the efficiency of whole transnational Corridor/network. The introduction of the concept and the methodology for the establishment of One Stop Shops for rail cross border points will be formulated for the entire SEE area focusing in the relation between EU-Countries and Western Balkans and understanding the reason for the current status quo. The project will also identify 6 innovative transnational measure including a recommendation with a list of negative practices that should be avoided by the public authorities all the project partners will adopt these recommendations On the basis of agreements of Infrastructure Interconnection in order to expedite border-crossings where a good example is the one proposed by SEETO approved by the SEETO Commission representing the transport ministries of the Western Balkan countries a set of pilot scheme ( road map) for setting up an OSS will be made. This road map scheme will take into consideration patical solutions of common problem encountered: Finally the partnership represent include a large area coverage of the whole SEE area including Ukraine ( ENPI) and the mix of the nature of the partners assure that all horizontal issued will

3.7. Expected outputs and results

Taking into account the aforementioned issues, the project will implement the following priority actions: 1) Establishment of an institutional multilevel platform and promotion of administrative co-operation in order to complete and extend the implementation of the Ten-T (EU Ten-T guidelines, Ten- T extension to the Western Balkans, liberalisation and economic trend, impact of economic crisis) and to enhance cooperation among relevant stakeholders with the aim to improve national and regional strategic plan. Draft a pipeline of projects to be implemented within the Danube, Adriatic and Black Sea strategy. Promote partner agreement on border-crossing issue on the basis of the Single window principle for freight customs. Such as All customs services should be carried out by the customs authorities of both countries at one location 2) Elaboration of a Integrated Transport Model completed with the inclusion of local and international flows (extension trans-tool to WB, geo-referenced model for nodes and sections, included in the model). Definition of common transport model for all the regions and countries which allows to plan efficiently the possible investments



78/156

3) Plan for action for Cross border points and bottlenecks in SEE area. Institutional platform with operators and stakeholders. Joint proposal for administrative standardisation and concrete plan for cutting transit time on EU corridors and WB comprehensive network. Survey on the field and adoption of concrete proposals coming from economic and logistic actors. Creation of a full accessible web information platform. 3a) Field survey on 23 selected rail border crossing points in the whole SEE and field survey on 23 road selected crossing sections: selected interviews and questionnaires on more the 400 stakeholders of the transport community in SEE area including SEE ports, interports and area nodes. 4) compliance with open access standards that are required by EU directives in force; cooperation between border authorities?in particular, the possibility for the border authority of one country to be active in a neighbouring country; reduce border-crossing times; achieve higher commercial speed for trains; and streamline border procedures. However 5) A memorandum of understanding signed during a ministerial conference organized by Croatian Transport Ministry in September 2013 and adoption of and guidelines on One Stop Shop for the use of rail infrastructure in the Joint Border Zone. A One Stop Shop in this context means a body that designs an international train path. The applicant receives all information, including the timetable, fees and technical parameters that enable one to use the path. Any licensed rail undertaking can purchase rail infrastructure border services?such as path, shunting, and communication?from one of the two infrastructure managers. The rules and regulations of the One Stop Shop are specified in a joint network statement, which can be an annex to the network statement demanded by Directive 2001/14/EC. 6) A promotion actions for the Agreements of Infrastructure Interconnection (AIIs) in order to expedite border-crossings procedures 7) One seminar with DG MOVE on pilot routes for improving intermodal chin of transport according to TEN T revision and 2 seminars organized at the EU Parliament for including the relevant authorise and Eu networks. 8) Action plan for the synergy of macro regional strategy ( EUSDR- Adriatic ?Ionian strategy and Black sea synergy) including the preparation of a series of tangible actions/project proposal to be submitted to the EU relevant priority coordinators for this regional initiatives 9) Methodology for the extension of trans-tool to the Western Balkans 10) Web-based platform for the information exchange on cross border and bottlenecks sections 11) improvement of cross-border policies and adoption of soft measures including upgrading of small infrastructure in selec

3.8. Plans for sustainability and transferability of projects results



79/156

The sustainability of the project will be ensured through its core outputs and results. 1)Institutional sustainability: will be ensured thanks to the institutional partners. The CEI will set up at the end of the project a Project focal point that will be able to provide information even after the end of the project. 2) Financial sustainability: will represent the natural consequence of the measures adopted and the studies delivered (the recommendation on EU financial perspectives 2013-2020, Ten-T impact assessment, report on impact of proposed ten t revision, report on the consequences of the EU enlargement to WB, Cross ) as these outputs will help in the prioritisation of future investment in the project area and beyond . 3) Political sustainability - the project will have an impact on political choices leading to improved legislation, policies and procedures. In particular, through the Multilevel Memorandum of Understanding for advancement of cooperation on border-crossing sections, based on compliance with open access standards that are required by EU directives in force, the institutional PPs will ensure the sustainability of relevant project outputs and results. Transfer of the project results and main findings will be secured mainly by carrying out the activities in the WP2. For this purpose a Communication Manager will be appointed in order to ensure coherence and will act as the project?s Spokesperson : - traditional dissemination tool: newsletters, website, press releases - dedicated events: ministerial conferences, meetings in Brussels and any transport related event of relevance for the SEE area and the project - the CEI will set up a Contact Point that will operate also after the end of the project All PPs will contribute to the long term results? sustainability as they will benefit from project outputs. Moreover, they will adopt measures and best practices and implement polices conceived during the project implementation. In particular Ministries and Regional authorities will have the opportunity to transfer to other relevant stakeholders the project results through the incorporation of policies and adoption of measures shaped within the ACROSSEE project. It goes without saying the through the projects the single countries will also highlight their own priorities in the field of the project. Taking into account their positions will most surely ensure the promotion and dissemination of the outputs in the partners countries as these will represent also their priorities and benefits at the local, regional and national level. The non partner SEE countries, will be also targeted by following the communication strategy and by relying on the CEI, the CER, the ERF and EIA networks. Furthermore, relevant external stakeholders will be invited during dedicated meetings or workshops in order to create synergies with other similar initiatives.

3.9. Target groups/ stakeholders involvement

Project direct stakeholders are PPs that are at the same time the main SEE decision makers in the field of transport. Their involvement in the day by day activities, events, project and steering committee meetings will be guaranteed and therefore constant. They will implement and incorporate the project results thus provide long term sustainability. It is crucial for the effective dissemination of the project results to involve the relevant transport policy authorities and other stakeholders through an active stakeholders engagement. In this regard, a chapter of the Communication Strategy will be dedicated to the stakeholders engagement. The project will target three relevant stakeholders groups:



80/156

1)Institutional-target groups will be represented by Transport Ministries, Regional, National/Regional Agencies that will be the key players during the project implementation and after the end of the project by ensuring the project results long term sustainability . The decision-making actors are full-fledged partners and will be further involved through the Communication and dissemination activities. The organisation of a Transport Ministerial meeting will represent a crucial political event that will give outstanding visibility at ministerial level to the ACROSSEE project. Moreover, also the main EU policy-makers will be involved, first during the seminar at the European Parliament and the workshop at the EU Commission and second by exploiting the EU transport networks/lobbies that are involved in ACROSSEE. 2)Transport target group: transport associations, t. authorities, t.lobbies and networks (CER, ERF, EIA, UNIFE, etc), national railways highways agencies / companies, border authorities, Universities, Think-Thanks 3)Private sector/ Businesses ? Target Group: private companies, transport operators, chamber of Commerce, business agencies, development agency . These last could benefit from the clear identification of the mains fields of intervention and investment opportunities. Communication Plan will also address these TGs, through transparent spread of information, promotion of events concerning progress and the definition of future opportunities.

3.10. Capitalisation of results

Firstly, the project will rely on similar projects/initiatives already implemented both in the previous programming period and in the current. It will benefit from the existing data on transports in the SEE, capitalising the efforts done by the National Statistic Agencies and by EUROSTAT. The organization of a SEETAC database is one of the expected results, that is going to work in strict cooperation with the above mentioned agencies, utilizing the experience of PPs and of SEETO in the elaboration of data and in the promotion of the transport core network development in the SEE. The PPs also participated directly in the most relevant transport projects implemented in the previous programming period. Only few projects are not well known to PPs, but the establishment of a permanent and electronic database will facilitate this knowledge, avoiding the dispersion of information and the duplication of projects. For this reason, despite the fact that SEETAC doesn't refer directly to any previous project, it plans to capitalize the efforts done until now by the transnational and cross-border cooperation. The project will incorporate the SEETAC and SONORA and it will be carried out in synergy with RAIL4SEE for passengers and ADB project for the identification of pilot corridors in the WB: moreover ministerial and regional policy actions, investment strategies will also be incorporated. IPA countries will be involved and their experience in transport related projects will also be highly taken into consideration. SEETAC and ADRIA A, BATCO, SETA, SONORA Speaking about the Transport model, until today, a series of studies and researches have been dedicated to the monitoring of the Trans-European Transport Networks implementation progress and the forecast of



81/156

traffic flows (TEN-STAC, SASI, ASTRA, SCENES, WORLDNET, ETIS, iTREN, with most recent the ???-CONNECT), as well as for the assessment of the wider impacts of transport infrastructure projects (EUNET-SASI, IASON). TEN-STAC (NEA, 2004) analyzed 25 trans-European transport corridors concerning their bottlenecks, traffic and their impacts on the environment, in view of the revision of the TEN-T in 2004. In line with these examples, the ???-CONNECT (Tetraplan, 2009) is serving the on-going TENT-T revision. The central information system of the DG TREN was GETIS (Geographic Energy and Transport Information System) established in 2003, utilising the Eurogeographics and GISCO tools. This system is evolving with the TEN-tec system. The TRANS-TOOLS model was developed in the period 2004-2006 based on the existing system ETIS-BASE, while its second version was created in the framework of the TEN-CONNECT in 2009, since the first version referred to the EU-25 and not EU-27.

3.11. Possible internal or external constraints during and after project implementation and solutions

foreseen

The project does not present at the initial stage major internal or extern constraints that could endanger the successful implementation of the project. However, the LP being aware of the fact that issues may arise in the future will develop with all the PPs a contingency plan in order to overcome the common problems that EU projects have to face and to create a decision making procedure in order to react effectively and smoothly. In particular in case of: - project delays in activities: the LP in cooperation with the PPs will act swiftly in order to catch up with relevant delays. It may, for example, redefine or take up some responsibilities and tasks when necessary with the approval of the Steering Committee. Moreover, it can assist partners in order to obtain results on time and will provide support and information whenever requested to avoid further delay and interruption of connected activities. - Under-spending and FLC issues. Public bodies, in particular have to cope with cumbersome administrative and financial procedure that may lead to substantial under-spending in EU funded projects. In order to avoid this situation or to adjust it rapidly the LP project management team will carefully plan and monitor all PPs spending and react pre-emptively. In order to respect the expenditure forecast, it is essential that the technical and content activities are delivered on time and started immediately in order to avoid the phenomenon of low spending in the initial phase of the project. In case of administrative problems with the FLC and validation of expenditures, the LP will cooperate with the JTS and national contact points in order to find the best solution in the shortest time possible. Dedicated forms for financial monitoring will be sent out to PPs. In case of delays the LP will organize meetings with partners in financial delay to solve problems and find the best solution for the successful implementation of the project. Budget shits may also be envisaged in order to overcome consistent underpinning problems. A dedicates session of the kick off meeting for all partners regarding Financial reporting and issues will be organized. -back out of a partner for changes in political priorities. The LP in this case will redefine the tasks and responsibilities to all PPs and will liaise with the JTS in order to adopt the optimal solution.



82/156

- quality control of the outputs. The LP will cooperate with the external experts and technical partners responsible for specific project actions and WPs to deliver quality outputs for the benefit of the whole partnership. The constant monitoring of activities and laisoning with partners will guarantee smooth path towards concrete and desired results.

3.12. Contribution to the Community Cohesion Policy and the Programme's overall objective/strategy

The 5th Cohesion Report addresses explicitly the strengthening of the multilevel governance system in view of introducing the third dimension:territorial cohesion (in addition to social and economic dimension).This is in line with the Treaty of Lisbon (the Treaty was signed on December 13th, 2007, and came into force by December 1st, 2009), that recognizes territorial cohesion as the third dimension of Cohesion Policy. The project falls within the scope of the overall objective of the SEE Programme (SEEP), since it guarantees the integration of the SEE territory, aiming at developing infrastructure, traffics and economy in an environmental friendly way. Accessibility is a fundamental aspect of the territorial cohesion and it is perceived as a vital need by the SEE countries and citizens. The lack of mobility is an obstacle for the economic and social development of the area and ACROSSEE intends to remove the barriers generated by the national disparities, increasing the integration of the of SEE.the project faces the major challenges of SEE concerning accessibility, priority Axis 3, aiming at improving framework conditions for multimodal platforms and at completion of the transportation networks (AoI 3.3), this by working to resolve the phisical and sdministrative barriers at border crossings.

3.13. Consistency of the project with EU horizontal policy on environmental sustainability

Environmental sustainability Positive

The EU horizontal policy on environmental sustainability represents one of the main pillars of the ACROSSEE project. The development of a sustainable transport system represents the blueprint along which the ACROSSEE project will be implemented and in this sense it will have a positive impact to the environment and will work in line with the environment objectives at the EU and national level. The project will contribute to the EU2020 Strategy pursuing a comprising, smart, sustainable and inclusive economy delivering high levels of employment, productivity and social cohesion. In particular, the project will promote sustainable modes for freight transportation thus contributing to achieving the EU2020 goal for a Resource Efficient Europe. The ACROSSEE approach has been inspired by the main principles included in the Lisbon Strategy, the 2009 Review of the EU Sustainable Development Strategy (EU SDS), the European Commission's Roadmap for a resource-efficient Europe, SEE Programme Manual and SEE Background Study, where transport, in particular, represents one of the sectors responsible for most environmental impacts and significant efforts are needed to decrease the current unsustainable level of high energy consumption. By taking into account the aforementioned documents, the project will develop actions and strategies to improve the cross-border accessibility of freight flows; will adopt concrete measures in order to cut the running time in the cross-border points and to ease up the existing bottlenecks in the SEE area, thus promoting measures, where reasonable, for the shifting of the freight transport from road to rail with safe and sustainable low-carbon impact.



83/156

3.14. . Consistency of the project with EU horizontal policy on opportunities and non-discrimination

Equal opportunities Positive

The project activities are intended to reach out directly or indirectly all the citizens living in the South East Europe, independently from their nationality, sex, ethnic background or religious beliefs, by improving the accessibility along the border crossing points in the SEE region. The project will fully respect the Article 16 of the General Regulation and Article 6 of the Treaty, concerning equal opportunities for men and women as well as combating discrimination based on sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation. In fact, within the project partnership experts, national and local officials, chambers? of commerce and lobbies? representatives with different background, coming from countries with different religions, ethnic groups, minorities and cultures will work and collaborate for the success of the project and to meet the same end. This multicultural and multilingual environment will represents an important added value for the successful implementation of the project. The LP will uphold a conducive environment for group interaction, cooperation, mutual understanding, and tolerance in all project activities and will contribute positively to the creation of an inclusive culture, which reduces discrimination and provides genuine opportunity equality. When necessary, the LP will undertake actions in order to remove barriers that may prevent Project Partners from participating in and achieving project goals. The CEI is particularly fit for this role, since its staff has international background and its day-to-day activities imply strong sensibility in dealing with people coming from different countries. The project will ensure an adequate gender balance with no discrimination towards minorities, by assuring a equal opportunities to men and women in the project planning, decision-making as well as in the project target groups.

3.15. Level of joint cooperation

The potential beneficiaries will cooperate in at least two of the following ways:

Joint development of the project’s idea

Yes

The rationale of the project was developed during different SEETAC project meetings (some partners of the SEETAC project are involved in the current proposal) and after the exchange of views with different EU institutions and Western Balkans partners. Then all the ideas where merged during a coordination meeting that was held in Vienna at the Transport Ministry with Austria-Tech and with the CEI transport expert who set the conceptual pillars of the project. The ACROSSEE partner consortium was rapidly indentified through the CEI institutional links and also thanks to the Partner Search tool of the SEE programme. The project was jointly developed and agreed on by all partners through multilateral and bilateral communication (mails, phone calls, video conference and bilateral face-to face meetings) during the preparation and drafting of the full application. This fruitful interaction resulted in the current definition of the project structure and rationale.



84/156

The common intertwined challenges faced by all partners are the necessity to develop the cross border accessibility, the full implementation and the extension to the Western Balkans of the Ten-T network. In this respect each partner, Ministries, Regional Agencies Universities, Transport Operators etc, will bring their peculiarities and their specific best practices, thus leading to joint results and solutions. In the South East Europe Area, there are a great number of border crossing stations that are characterized by long waiting times, unpredictable customs services, burdensome administrative procedures - all leading to additional transport and trade costs for manufacturers and importers/exporters.

Joint implementation of the activities

Yes

All Project partners have been involved in the definition of the activities with a bottom-up approach. All partners will be involved, with a different degree of responsibility in the implementation of the Work-Packages, according to a joint transnational methodological approach. In order to obtain an effective transnational impact through the exchange of best practices and experiences all partners will be involved in the decision-making and monitoring and evaluating procedures of the project. Every partner will play an active role in the project implementation under the coordination of the Lead Partner that will assure horizontal (among WPs) and vertical (among WPs? activities) coherence and consistency. The activities and results have a joint transnational scope and in order to guarantee an effective transnational impact and ownership all partners will take up a relevant role in the implementation of the project activities. The joint implementation is reflected in the technical project structure and in the core products tackled by the WPs, in particular: WP2,WP3, WP4, WP5.

Joint staffing Yes

All Project Partner will be involved in project management, financial and technical activities through the Project Management Committee. In this sense, the project staff works jointly and coherently. Every PP has a different and clear role in the project and there is no overlapping of roles and functions. The Lead Partner and each partner will appoint a Project Manager, Project Financial Manager and Communication Manager that will work in tied cooperation. Each partner will, through the Project Manager, provide their local, regional and national experience at disposal of all the PPs. Each PP will contribute to the transnational outputs through exchange of experiences, best practices and by adopting joint solutions. All partners will take part in joint transnational working groups which



85/156

concern both the project management and coordination bodies (e.g. Steering Committee and Project Managers Committee).

Joint financing Yes

The Budget has been developed through accurate negotiations with a balanced approach. Coherent share of the budget in each Work Package for all PPs has been allocated. All the PPs will contribute financially according to their tasks and responsibilities, thus committing to the joint success of the project.

3.16. Innovative character

1) Establishment of an institutional platform and promotion of administrative co-operation in order to complete and extend the implementation of the Ten-T (EU Ten-T guidelines, Ten- T extension to the Western Balkans, liberalisation and economic trend, impact of economic crisis) and to enhance cooperation among relevant stakeholders with the aim to improve national and regional strategic plan. Will allow the draft a pipeline of projects to be implemented within the Danube, Adriatic and Black Sea strategy. Currently these macro regional strategies are focusing their action on possible issued to be addressed in the short run. 2) On the basis of the EU methodology , the project will address the issues related to arguments for rationalising the network in SEE trough balancing the capacity with cost-effectiveness. In particular an investigation on what are the financing option left will be required in consideration of the need of securing existing project particularly those at the stage of final design. starting form the consideration that the full integration of the Western Balkans in the network is still lagging behind, as in comparison with the De Palacio?s report of 2004 (HLG) only in the recent commission?s proposal the western Balkans network is included in the EU proposal of a comprehensive (secondary and not financed level) part of EU the project will evaluate scenarios, aquire relevant information and create transport arguments and consequesces for including the W.Balkans network in the the EU core TEN-T network 3) Promote partner agreement on bo The project will primarily address the issue of network optimisation in the whole SEE and the extension of the Tent-T network by identifying scenarios of for the extension of the core network to the WB ink the Western Balkan region and implications for the extension of the comprehensive network. 4) Today in the SEE area it exists a large and growing market segment for rail transport, particularly along international freight corridors, the extension of the EU Transport network can actually create important opportunities in the long-run rail freight, given the extra capacity on the SEE axes and the high growth rate of trade between Old and New Europe, huge potential for modal shift particularly for freight , using the rail corridors connection the SEE area, should be exploited. 5) The project will address the question how does the rail capacity need to grow to achieve the transport 2020 and 2050 targets and what are the short term targets needed to progress towards an ambitious long tem vision set by the EU commission. 6) The creation of a Transport model on one side and the evaluation of the total amount of goods mobility and the type of freight on the other will be decisive asset for SEE as it will be interfaced primarily on the existing infrastructure, upgrading sections and bottlenecks and later to they will be turn into potential goods mobility demand able to indentify sustainable intermodal freight corridors.



86/156

7) In this context for the first time in the SEE analysis a broad, comprehensive and reliable consumer demand analysis for better standard of the road and rail will be carried out 8) A Memorandum of Understanding will be signed in the context of the Croatian enlargement (July 2013) to promote and OSS. 9) Currently a transport model with reference to the region of the South East Europe is being developed in the framework of the SEETAC project. Nevertheless only nodes are geo-referenced. In ACROSSEE project nodes and sections will be both goe-referenced for all SEE area. This is an attempt of creating a unified transport model for a region consisting of EU and non-EU countries, as for time being the TRANS-TOOLS model of the European Commission?s DG Mobility and Transport is limited to cover only the EU-27 network. 10) Elaboration of a Integrated Transport Model will allow the extension trans-tool m

3.17. Synergies with other policies, programmes and projects

There are several EU relevant documents and strategies that the ACROSSEE project will highly consider in its contents and final aims - the EU 2020 with the aim of achieving a Resource Efficient Europe through the transport sector decarbonisation and measures? promotion to ease up cross border bottlenecks. - the EU enlargement strategy 2011-2012. The project will asses the enlargement strategy impact by focusing on the transport sector. -The White Paper ?Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area ? Towards a competitive and resource efficient transport system? COM(2011)144 and the Regulation concerning a European Rail Network for Competitive Freight (Regulation EC 913/2010), point out that the EU transport infrastructure is still fragmented - both geographically and between/within transport modes- and that there are missing links. In particular cross-border sections are the major obstacle for the free movement of goods along the freight corridors routes and their links with the Western Balkans. The ACROSEE project will tackle all the aforementioned issues. -With the document ?The EU and its neighbouring regions: A renewed approach to transport cooperation?- (COM 2011) 415. the Commission underlined the importance of strengthening transport links with neighbouring regions to the East and South of the EU. The ACROSEE project will adopt concrete measures, in the short and longer term, to make transport connections smoother, safer and more reliable. - In order to boost the development of the Danube Region, the European Commission proposed on 8th December 2010 the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (Commission Communication), endorsed by the Member States at the General Affairs Council on 13th April 2011 (Council Conclusions) that, inter alia, focuses on the key priority area :?to improve mobility and inter-modality? - the EU Sustainable Development Strategy, 2005, Report for the Council and the European Parliament, COM (2005) 658 final; (2005). The RAIL4SEE focuses exactly on creating alternatives to road transport and more attractive options for passengers, including the Trans European Networks? development. This issue is explored by options? simulation & definition for desirable changes in the feeder rail & non-rail services. - most of the WB countries are on the right track for the EU accession, even though some problems still have to be properly addressed according to the EC enlargement strategy 2011-2012.



87/156

- Moreover, the project will work in synergy with the recent recommendation of the Committee of the Regions for drawing up a strategy for the Adriatic-Ionian macro-region and with the main priorities of the Black Sea Synergy. The ACROSSEE will also capitalize on: - 1) the SEETAC project in terms of demand modelling on the present demand and methods for the TEN-T extension to the West Balkans via LP; - 2) Accessibility and Development for the Re-launch of the Inner Adriatic Area (ADRIA A) by taking into account the measures developed to increase the accessibility and transport reorganisation in the entire cross-border area with the aim to form a unique integrated Italian ? Slovene metropolitan transport area. Besides these two EU funded project, also BATCO, SETA, SONORA and ADB projects will be taken into consideration and their results will be closely followed and capitalised.

3.18. Consistency with the local, regional and national policies of the involved partners

The ACROSSEE project will contribute to the SEE Operational Programme objectives by developing the attractiveness of regions and cities, and promoting sustainable development. The improvement of the cross-border accessibility in the SEE area by improving the coordination among the SEE national administrations, in the light of the EU legislation, will have a benign impact on the national and transnational policies. What is more, should any project partner be embedded in nationally relevant networks and associations, the project partnership will examine how synergies can be exploited. Full integration of the Western Balkans in the EU network is still lagging behind, as witnessed by the recent Commission?s proposal, where the Western Balkans network is only included the comprehensive ( secondary and not financed level) part of EU new TEN-T network leaving the Balkans network still undefined and outside of the EU core TEN-T network. Linking Western Balkan region to the whole SEE area is intended to be obtained by creating synergies and proposing coherent arguments for the implementation and the extension of the Tent-T network. Therefore the involvement of the PPs coming form the W. Balkan countries will ease these processes and provide all necessary requisites for reaching this common goal. In the South East Europe Area, there is a great number of border crossing stations that are characterized by long waiting times, unpredictable customs services, burdensome administrative procedures - all leading to additional transport and trade costs for manufacturers and importers/exporters, in particular in the rail freight transport. All these problems inevitably reflect negatively on all participating partners, providing consistent and unavoidable problems that can only be solved through the cooperation of all involved actors. ) In this sense the adoption of a common transport model for the entire South East Area, integrated with the rest of Europe and compatible with the current EU system, adequate to be exploited also by public administrations and transport operators will be essential and can only be obtained through the active involvement of high level policy makers in the transport field. It goes without saying that also in this field the role of the Transport ministries, together with all technical experts will be fundamental. )The improvement of the cross-border accessibility of the freight flows is one of the absolute project necessities. For this reason concrete measures must be adopted to cut the running time in the cross-border points and to ease up the existing bottlenecks in the SEE area. High level institutional partners will be in the position to promote and consequently adopt the defined measures in their own country providing coherence and continuity along the axis.



88/156

The non partner SEE countries, will be also targeted by following the communication strategy and by relying on the CEI, the CER, the ERF and EIA networks. Moreover relevant external stakeholders will be invited during dedicated meetings or workshops in order to create synergies with other similar initiatives

Responsible Partner ERDF PP6 - UCV




4.2.2. Description

Communication activities play a crucial role in the achievement of project results, since they make the project outcomes available to a wider public. The Communication Plan (CP) and project identity/brand image will be finalised within the first 3 months from the beginning of the activities. A set of communication tools (newsletter, press releases, brochure, etc.) will be also implemented and a dedicated website will be realised. All the project partners will involve their communication channels in order to disseminate the project?s results. In addition to this, European Transport Associations, Regional Networks, Local, Regional, National and European media will be involved. As a result, not only National, Regional and Local authorities will benefit from the project outcomes, but a wider public will be aware of ACROSSEE, including private users and operators, that are the final beneficiaries of the solution of bottlenecks at border crossings. The media represents an important tool to disseminate information about the ACROSSEE project to a wide range of stakeholders, from the expert target group, strategic/political target to the wider public. Therefore communication via the press should focus on specific and well chosen media opportunities, and focus on the specific target groups. At key moments of the project (i.e Kick-off, ministerial meeting, EU meetings and final conference) press releases will be drafted and disseminated to a selected list of journalist varying from the transport specific press to daily newspapers.

Title Non media dissemination

Timeframe 01/10/2012 - 30/09/2014


Description of the activity Non media dissemination is a communication method that, because of its efficiency, is essential, since it increases the results of the traditional media communication methods. Non media communication involves a set of activities that allow the project to reach its target groups by promoting materials that are very easy in use. The most important marketing material is the project identity, through a project logo, that should be immediately recognisable by the wider public. The project brand will be included in all the dissemination instruments, project brochure, project gadgets, newsletter and project website. The website will be immediately published and it will be regularly updated, with the contribution of all the PPs. It will be the primary tool of communication for those involved in the project and all information to be shared amongst the project consortium and also to the general public will be placed on this website, with various degrees of protection. PPs will be involved in the elaboration of the brochure and the newsletters, that will be published on a yearly basis (2 annual newsletters). Partners will disseminate the project outcomes through their institutional websites, distribute the results and experience to local organisations, industries

Title Institutional platform and administrative co-operation

Responsible Partner ERDF PP5 - Mot AUT




4.3.2. Description

WP3 promotes Institutional and stakeholders cooperation in order to provide concrete actions to the macro-regional strategy; Danube strategy, WB integration and SEE. Creation of Institutional forum and promoting effective multilevel governance to complete the implementation of Ten-T network crossing the SEE area trough the activation of action to foster the administrative cooperation for the standardization for procedures. In general in the WB legal framework is similar to those in force in the EU member states but the implementation measures are lacking and local procedures often differ. Specifically the extension of the core network to the Western Balkans according to the results of wp 4 the network optimisation actions will be carried out taking into consideration the following already established Eu criteria: a) Links shall connect main nodes in the most efficient way:2) Stringing maximum of intermediate nodes (acc. to size or importance and corresponding detour; c) Using infrastructure existing or being implemented; d) short term investment e) Avoiding detours which traffic flows would not follow f)Taking into account possible capacity constraints?) Splitting e.g. to separate rail passenger ? freight (different speeds and alignment parameters!) for Intermediate nodes: a) inclusion of smaller cities (optimization: importance vs. detour), b) inclusion of major ports, airports, freight

Title Transport model



1,037,472.69 EUR WP Total ERDF partners 942,032.69 EUR


4.4.2. Description

Due to the difficuties of transtool model for the WB and the current limitations to international flows with reference to the region of the South East Europe is being developed in the framework of the SEETAC project. This is an attempt of creating a unified transport model for a region consisting of EU and non-EU countries, as for time being the TRANS-TOOLS model of the European Commission?s DG Mobility and Transport is also limited to cover the EU-27 network. WP4 contains activities of collection of necessary, adequate and updated data associated to the demand analysis and traffic forecasting Then, a GIS model will be established, as a visualisation and analysis tool,able to depict the collected data in a comprehensive manner to support the other activities of the project, the decision making process, as well as the web toolbox available to all interested parties (public administrations, transport operators) and the wider public. A transport model, dedicated to the needs of simulation of the existing situation and the examination of future development scenarios will be developed. The development of the model, in its planning process, will take into account all the parameters that are considered necessary in order to ensure the compatibility with the TRANS-TOOLS, in order to integrate the model in the third (under development up to 2014) version of the system of DG MOVE, enriching it with extension to the Western Balkan countries transport networks. This activity include for example the appropriate codification of traffic zones, the links and the nodes of the network, the completion of the necessary attributes (physical and operational characteristics) to the elements of the network, the use of appropriate geographic reference system (georeferencing), etc. The simulation success shall be tested through the model calibration.Then,various scenarios of alteration of parameters related to transport supply and demand will be formulated in order to be exam

30/09/2013

Description of the activity The first activity will concern the most appropriate zoning level according to the modelling requirements and to the availability of more or less detailed information. The modelling area will be divided in two macro areas: the study area where the zoning level will be at least NUTS3 and will diminish for significant agglomerations or for territories with high population density and with numerous transport infrastructure as well and the accessing points to the area connected with the neighbouring countries. Whenever possible, the existing data basis will be used for the reconstruction of the current transport demand. Project partners? contribution will be essential for both, the data provision should they not be retrievable through official data basis and for the validation of final data. In order to complete the transport demand data base, it will be essential to collect information on transit data for both, road network (for light and heavy vehicles) and rail services in terms of number of passenger and freight trains, number of passengers and tonnes of freight carried. This information will be acquired by collecting all available data from official sources, deriving from flow monitoring systems, previous surveys or from previous European projects. Should the information turn out to be lacking or not sufficiently updated, a direct survey will be provided to retrieve the missing information. Road date will be inserted with an already consolidated methodology in other European projects. All partners will be involved in the collection of updated data, should the usual data sources turn out to be unreliable. In extreme cases, direct surveys will be organised. Road data will concern number of lanes, single arch capacity, de-flow curve, speed for empty trains and tolls presence. Railway data will be inserted per line and not per single route, which will enable to route the trains along certain paths and to evaluate immediately the feasibility of a single link. This will also make it possible to understand which trains are linked to possible criticalities that could appear in the network. This procedure that allows the inclusion per line and not per route represents an essential element for a proper evaluation of train routing that will trigger an evaluation of the intermodal potential of identified hubs, first of all in the Balkan ports. Similar methodology will be applied to inland waterways.

Role of each partner LP as the work package leader will provide general co-ordination, action on the field. All Universities will contribution to draft of format, support LP in establishing criteria and target and methodology , support in validation of results - LP with the support of the universities +associated will draft the methodology for the demand analysis and for the transport model development. -The relevant PPs will carry out surveys on selected ports coordinated by PP11 ( PP11-Venezia, PP7-Trietse, PP14-15 Koper, IPA PP2 and IPA PP4 Rjeka, Split, IPA PP1- Durres, PP10 PP1 PP4-Igoumenitza, Tessaloniki, PP3Varna, Burgas, PP8 Costanza ) - The LP with the support of the Universities will survey the SEE traffic flows (road, rail, waterways) international +local flows - survey on inter-ports : PP6, IPA PP3, PP3, PP7, PP10, PP12, PP13, PP14

Title Transport Model

Timeframe 01/10/2013 - 31/01/2014


Description of the activity This action will be focused to the maximum result capitalisation of other European transport projects in the Balkan area. It will start from the SEETAC basic network, that will be further detailed to the data updating. More details will concern the entire ordinary railway network, inland waterways and all roads of national and regional importance as well as those provincial ones in case of low density on other roads. The graph will be extended to the accessing points of the Balkan area and linked to the European model graphs. In particular, it will be linked with SoNorA graph and made compatible with the Transtool. Of course, the graph will be produced with reference to the main and secondary infrastructures of all transport modes under study (road, rail and waterways). - Geo-referencing: The graph obtained in the above described way will be entirely geo-referenced, both for nodes and arches, up to the conjunction points with the neighbouring countries, in order to guarantee an absolute continuity in the network representation and in the flow interpretation for the whole area between the Baltic, Adriatic and Black sea. First of all, an infrastructural network graph will be designed for the road and rail transport. To this end, GIS data basis deriving from systems like OpenStreetMap will be used. GIS basic support will be appropriately updated, verified and integrated both from the geographical/topological and from the database point of view, in order to implement the infrastructural network graph in the modelling environment. Each element of the road network graph will be coupled with a set of features concerning: Segment length (km); Arch type;Speed at 0 flow (km/h);Capacity (equivalent vehicles(h); Possible presence of tolls (0,1); Presence of traffic flow values (equivalent vehicles/h); Direction (one way traffic; two way traffic); Zoning code at more levels. In the same way, in the case of the railway infrastructures, each graph element will be coupled with the following features: Segment length (km); Arch type; Capacity (train/day per direction);Zoning code at more levels; Track number;Traction system;Route name.

-Transport Model calibration: The Assignment model will be a preparatory activity for the transport model calibration, indeed it will be produced beforehand. This activity aims at estimating/updating OD transfer matrixes, starting from an existing matrix, so that a final network flow reproduction is as realistic as possible. In other words, the reproduction will be as close as possible to the data related to the road flows of passengers and freight transported by road and freights transported through inland waterways, provided by the project partners according to the activities defined initially in the Application form and through surveys on flows among regions included in the SEE, by using the institutional network of the related Chambers of Commerce. This activity will be carried out by using Matrix Estimation technique, based on an algorithm that minimises an objective function, which is the result of a statistic procedure known as maximum likelihood method. The use of this method guarantees that the estimated data (in this case the estimated matrix) is the best probability for the input data function. More specifically, the requested data for the model development concern:Prior Matrix; preliminary OD matrix and the starting point for the estimation and related matrix with the reliability level for each relation; traffic counts for passenger and freight vehicles, with the reliability level per each section; Possible travel routes, provided in a binary format. The reliability check on the estimations will be carried out with the validation procedure, in which the estimated traffic flows of the model are compared with those measured in both, the ex-ante situation, where the assignment model is run with a Prior matrix and in the ex-post situation, where an updated matrix is used.

Role of each partner The LP will develop the transport model in cooperation with PP2. For this action the CEI will externalize the development of the transport model In particular the following activities will be implemented by the LP in : -data loading road-rail and waterways (PP2 will be involved) -transport model development -Geo-referencing -calibration

Title Extension of the Transtool model to the Western Balkans

Timeframe 01/01/2013 - 30/09/2013


Description of the activity Extension of Trans-Tools to Western Balkan At the moment the data used in Trans-Tools for the Western Balkan is limited and not fully comparable to that available for other European countries. Enormous efforts will be necessary in on order to establish a data base with can fulfill the requirements of Trans-Tools. Data bases from different states must be brought to a comparable level and validated to ensure consistency and quality. Once the data is available the model must be calibrated which again is large task but a necessary step to ensure successful integration into Trans-Tools.



108/156

From this follows that the steps for extended Trans-Tools to the Western Balkan the following steps must be carried out for each state: - Establish minimum data requirements for extension of Trans-Tools - Evaluate existing data bases - Highlight any deficits - Define priorities for data collection - Provided roadmaps for filling any data gaps - Perform quality assurance and (if necessary) data correction - Integrate data into Trans-Tools - Calibrate Model with new data sets - Ensure continuous collection of data as necessary - Establish quality control and documentation - Regular contacts to other countries to share experience and ensure compatibility It will establish procedures which will guide the work in the future. Especially when it comes to data collection it will not be possible to satisfy all data requirements during the lifetime of the project. In other cases, such as establishing minimum data requirements, evaluating existing data bases, highlighting deficits, etc In the long run all this work help improve Trans-Tools for the SEE-region and thus the overall validity of the Trans-Tools output. Improving the modeling basis for that area will help address important transport questions which go far beyond South-East Europe. As transport becomes more and more interconnected and dependent on the full functioning of each part it is not possible to leave large regions out or only include them with low quality data when carrying out modeling exercises.

Role of each partner PP2 will be in charge of the action. Austriatech supervised by PP5 and LP posses an outstanding experience in this domain and will deliver an innovative transport tool

30/09/2014

Description of the activity Some time horizons will be defined to evaluate the demand and supply scenarios, among which a particular importance will be assigned to those linked to the travel time reduction at border crossings due to simplification measures or infrastructural interventions. In particular, the crossborder data will be analysed in the current and future management situation with reference to different freight types carried by the transport means. It will therefore be crucial to collaborate with the Chambers of Commerce, Transport Associations and Industrial organisations. More specifically, some significant trade exchange flows among old and new Member states and Candidate countries in the SEE will be identified, that will allow the experts to evaluate the limits and the bottlenecks of the current transport supply in the crossborder area. Through a joint use of the model (where the cross-border arches will be identified separately) and of the analysed trade flows, a network of main intermodal nodes will be created. On this basis an hypothesis for the improvement of the transport supply will be elaborated, with the twofold aim to select some limited, but efficient organisational and infrastructural priority improvements.

Role of each partner Following up on the results of the transport model, LP in cooperation with PP2 will asses the different transport scenarios , including those related to the transit times improvements at the borders, due to the introduction of simplification measures.

Title Data Manager Centre and Creation of an Information Cross-border interactive tool

Timeframe 01/10/2012 - 30/09/2014


Description of the activity A data management centre, with a specially designed web-based information toolbox will be established in order to host the transport model and data required to run this model. This centralized solution has the advantage that is can be a single access point for those involved in data modelling, ensuring that they have access to the most up-to date data as well as historical data sets at a defined quality. The main advantage for all the PP and stakeholders is that they can be sure that full access to the most up-to-date and historical data in a well-defined format will always be assured Besides running the national transport model already implemented in respective countries, information on other models are kept and regularly update and links established to the relevant institution and authorities on a national and international level. As the models evolve over time this will help ensure that they will be further harmonised in the future, helping to make best use of the strengths of each model while at the same time making certain that the results are compatible and complementary. The goal of this centre is thus to:



110/156

- Coordinate continuous development of national transport model - Carry out traffic modelling activities for the Ministries an public authorities they may require - Coordinate partners involved in developing and using the transport model - Reach a consensual agreement on which conditions model data may be distributed to third parties according to the Eu legislation. - Continuous consolidation of data needed for modelling in the required quality and level of detail - Ensure conformity with existing standards and contribute to the creation of new ones - Establish expertise on different existing models (e.g. TransTools, ?) - Host these models - Ensure easy access to data and, if necessary, models to all parties with access privileges - Continues communication with similar institutions in other countries - Support harmonisation of models and data with neighbouring countries and beyond

Title CROSS BORDER ANALYSIS

Responsible Partner ERDF PP1 - A.U.TH.




4.5.2. Description

The final action and output of the project will be an Action Plan for tackling the border crossings bottlenecks and facilitating the trans-national flows. This would be the subject of the WP5 of the project, incorporating and concluding the outcomes of the previous WPs. The findings from seetac project show that up to the integration of the Western Balkans in the EU there is significant margin of improvement of the transport operations which can be achieved utilising the existing infrastructures by improving them through large investments, but also with ?soft measures?, such as those related to the rationalisation and standardisation/ harmonisation of procedures. The cross-border will be analyzed in terms of their current and possible future management, with reference to the various types of freight. Therefore will be essential the collaboration with the Chambers of Commerce, associations of transporters and industrial organizations. In particular, significant trade flows will be identified between old and new member countries and / or candidate countries, SEE countries, in order to evaluate the limitations and bottlenecks of the current supply through the cross-border points. Through a joint use of the model, where the links related to cross-border are separately from the others and trade flows are analyzed, the network of major intermodal nodes upon which develop hypotheses of improving the supply of transport

will be identified, with the dual purpose of selecting limited and effective organizational improvements and infrastructures. This WP will mobilise national and local authorities to solve the issues of local cross-border transport by removing the obstacle to allow the establishment of a One Stop Shop and to prepare recommendations on necessary coordination and integration of competent authorities and transport services providers on either side of borders.

Title Assessment of Available Infrastructure Capacity

Timeframe 01/10/2012 - 31/01/2014


Description of the activity In this context border crossings can be major bottleneck in a continental transportation system, especially with regards to traffic between EU- non EU member States. TEN-T network policy has confirmed four main corridors: N 1, N 5, N 8, N 10, and SEETO network on which to concentrate the multimodal network and the intermodal service improvements connecting ports, metropolitan areas and border cross points As Rail-road-inland waterway infrastructure supply represent the network for goods circulation; its efficiency depends from the physical capacity of the single infrastructure layout and their intermodal connecting platforms: the representation of the complete layout for the whole SEE area is the premise for investigating its global efficiency as a system. A comprehensive approach is needed to design the SEE integration in the EU trade and transport standards . Based in this, three elements need to be focused: a) the main international routes of goods circulation, b) how existing freight transport supply meets demand, c) where and how substantial transport improvements can be obtained through better services before relevant infrastructure investments, that?s to say acting through short term policies. The BCP represent the map of the main discontinuities and bottlenecks in the SEE goods mobility. The selected BCP will be submitted to a multiple analytical approach: - The physical layout of each selected road and rail BC area will be evaluated for its capacity and spatial organization according to official efficiency standards; - those data will be integrated with the interviews coming from stakeholders; The rail-road infrastructure network will be represented through a GPS graph where links and nodes will be identified with specific attention to the relationship between infrastructure capacity and transport flows and to the Ports and Border Cross Points (BCP)as potential bottlenecks according to the EU capacity standards and Ten T transport policies.



114/156

the partnership will undertake the assessment of the capacity of existing infrastructures, comprising a review and comparison of the characteristics of the infrastructures with the respective EU standards (for infrastructures and their interoperability), with exploitation of the GIS model developed in the framework of WP4. Furthermore, selected cross border points (posts) of inland transport modes will be analysed concerning their infrastructural and operational capacities, in order to define the inefficiencies, the reasons of their appearance and their impact on cross border transport facilitation, i.e. the delays and costs mainly on international itineraries. The followed procedures (Action 5.02,5.03.5.04) and required times will be represented on time-distance diagrammes with the usage of the GIS model developed by WP4.depicting the running times and the various delays that could potentially be minimised including extension of the major trans-European transport routes. 1.

shorter running times for already existing and new trains; Make the infrastructure performance transparent; Providing an input for infrastructure investments

Timeframe 01/10/2012 - 31/01/2014


Description of the activity An analysis of the market potentials and trends should be performed, in relation with the Trans-European Transport Networks revised policy and the overall European Neighbourhood Policy, namely the priority (core and comprehensive) networks, their extensions, and the trade flows having origin and destination from/to the neighbouring countries and regions (Ukraine/Russia - New Independent States/ Caucasus ? Turkey ? Middle East ? Suez Channel ? North Africa and the Mediterranean Basin). These trends will be analysed in WP3 through the evaluation of the impact of trans-European Transport network revision and the optimisation of the TEN-T networks and in WP4 by the simulation of future scenarios for examining the potential growth of trade (and not only). This analysis shall refer to the performance of these border crossings points, in order to define the required interventions/measures. Therefore, a common methodology should be further developed and established among the partnership, in order to implement it at the various RAIL border crossing points by the project partners responsible for this task in each country. But the added value of this action is represented by the direct survey on the main rail crossing points along corridor nr. I/V/VIII/X and Seeto network. Direct field-surveys on RAIL cross border station will be used in order to define a precise and realistic map of rail border crossing time transit. Investigation questionnaire pursued a common methodology will be carried out at railways? agency, rail operators, rail safety regulators, safety and security agencies, freight forwarders and phitosanitary offices. In particular it will be also assessed: a) compliance with open access standards that are required by EU directives in force; b) cooperation between border authorities?in particular, the possibility for the border authority of one country to be active in a neighbouring country; c) possibility of reducion border-crossing times and achieve higher commercial speed for trains; d) drafting operators and stakeholder opinions on streamlining border procedures. In addition, a survey on typologies of transported goods will be carried out in order to identify the optimum intermodal solutions along corridor nr. I/V/VIII/X and Seeto network And business potential according to the EU freight mobility standards and market requirements (imput coming form economic stakeholders) will be clearly identified and interlinked. Attached the annex with the list of border crossing points (rail and road).

Title Assessment and Use of Market Potentials

Timeframe 01/10/2012 - 30/09/2014


Description of the activity Furthermore, an Origin-Destination Matrix (database) for the road freight transport shall be formulated together with a field survey focused on problems encountered for border crossings for international traffic (certificates, transit permit, safety rules, language) will be implemented taking into accounte relevant legal documents and the TIR convention and the Community Customs Code. Within this activity a survey on the various types of transported commodities will be performed and a routes? analysis will be tested using the GIS model in accordance with wp4 on the basis of existing and future scenario



117/156

where the potential of shifting from road to rail and the combined used of this modality will be tested . The identification of a representative panel of international stakeholders selected among those playing an remarkable active role in the SEE is a key element of the bottom up approach to the transport service demand/supply coming from the SEE mobility market present in this action. Forwarders, shippers, carriers and logistic operators, together with rail companies represent the interlocutors to be selected and to which to address a questionnaire for profiling an updated description/interpretation of the freight mobility in SEE, with all its efficiencies and deficiencies and potential improvements. The questionnaire elaboration made by Chambers of Commerce will be a mile stone of this action whose deployment will include a number of planned seminars involving stakeholders where the questionnaires outcomes will be discussed and improved. A survey will be set up and addressed to lorry drivers at BCP for being compared with the outcomes of the Port transit analysis and contributing to draw up the extension of long distance road routes in SEE; the questionnaire will include info such the O-D, transit frequency, average distance covered, travel times, speed average, etc.; the outcomes of interviews will provide inputs for detailing the transport model (action 4); The outcomes of BCP analysis will complement the ?stakeholders involvement? through its systematic recognition of existing infrastructure and administrative bottlenecks limiting the goods circulation in the SEE. Also in this case, like the rail modality, the survey on the type of goods will be confronted with the existing routes in the logistic chain and its potential future efficiency; the efficiency links and nodes of the infrastructure network will be compared and integrated with the outcomes of the transport model elaborations (WP4) focusing on infrastructure capacity and bottlenecks, transit times, existing and potential intermodal supply, etc. The outcomes of this empiric approach will be interfaced with the other transport analysis evidence for overlapping/integrating the Project elaborations as inputs to gather the final assessment of transport organization will be made. It will be furthermore important to consider the effect of border stops, road congestion and transportation bottlenecks on logistics and equipment usage. In particular cases will be mapped where exactly the road? bottlenecks congestion plays as a ?pricing? mechanism to encourage the use of alternative modes. In this context a ?carnet list? with a total of 6 transnational innovative measures focusing on new possible intermodal services and upgrading infrastructures shall be drafted in order to show the concrete possibility and the financial viability and sustainability for bringing additional traffic on freight rail corridors in combination in with the road modality and waterways transport.

Title Cutting stops at border crossings

Timeframe 01/01/2013 - 30/09/2014


Description of the activity Within the SEE and in relation with the border areas Border Cross Points (BCP) are considered to be the relevant nodes of the existing infrastructure network where the transport flows are confronted with multiple national border cross procedures affecting the efficiency of goods circulation in a fragmented market A proposal for the introduction of the concept and the establishment of One Stop Shops for rail cross border points will be formulated, including a recommendation with a list of negative practices that should be avoided by the public authorities and should stop in the short term (next 2 years). As in the case of the other deliverables, all the project partners should adopt these recommendations, to ensure their rapid implementation through the commitment of the participating countries. This activity is interlinked with the activity of WP3 for the reporting on the development of procedure activities plan for standardisation and formulation of participants, leading to the WP3 ultimate goal of adoption of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). An implementation plan of measures that would mean shortest possible stops at border crossing rail stations and a road map with proposed measures to be promoted for the facilitation of traffic flows at border crossings will be the final deliverables of the WP5. On the basis of cross boderssection identifies in wp 5.02 and taking the resutles from WP3 and WP4 and action 5.02 the Joint Border Zone such as the area



119/156

delimitation object of the One Stop Shop will be identified. A One Stop Shop in this context will be conceived not only as body that designs an international train path but also asan Office whereThe applicant can receive all information, including the timetable, fees and technical parameters that enable one to use the path. Any licensed rail undertaking should be entitled to purchase rail infrastructure border services?such as path, shunting, and communication?from one of the two infrastructure managers. The rules and regulations of the One Stop Shop will be implemented taking into consideration the already established a joint network statement, which can be supportive to the network statement demanded by Directive 2001/14/EC. On the basis of agreements of Infrastructure Interconnection (AIIs) in order to expedite border-crossings where a good example is the one proposed by SEETO approved by the SEETO Commission representing the transport ministries of the Western Balkan countries a set of pilot scheme ( road map) for setting up an OSS will be made. This road map scheme will take into consideration patical solutions of common problem encountered by a) rail undertakings and infrastructure managers; b) between neighbouring infrastructure managers, and c) shippers/forwarders and rail undertakings for the effective establishment of an OSS. This would allow pre-approval messages for the economic and transport community and the EC . In this context , taking this into account, as well as the running of a demonstration train from Ljubljana (Slovenia) to Halkali (Turkey) ?Bosporus Express? in March 2009 that proved that there is big potential for reduction of travel times (the train ran this route in 35 hours instead of 60 hours), under the special conditions provided during the test run this action will develop special attention/treatment and identify strong cooperation methods between infrastructure managers, rail operators, and the authorities responsible for border crossing procedures, who participated in the project, provision of priority to the train along the entire route, provision of multi-system and diesel locomotives, performance of customs and commercial inspections at the departure station, and finally promote the use of required information and documentation. an implementation plan along transnational selected intermodal corridor for all the see area will be made on shortest possible stops in border crossing rail stations

The ENPI partner will be involved in the the cross-border will be analyzed in terms of their current and possible future management, with reference to the various types of freight. Therefore will be essential the collaboration with the Chambers of Commerce, associations of transporters and industrial organizations. In particular, significant trade flows will be identified between old and new member countries and / or candidate countries, SEE countries, in order to evaluate the limitations and bottlenecks of the current supply through the cross-border points. Through a joint use of the model, where the links related to cross border are separately from the others and trade flows are analyzed, the network of major intermodal nodes upon which develop hypotheses of improving the supply of transport will be identified, with the dual purpose of selecting limited and effective organizational improvements and infrastructures. The general aim of this Work Package is to mobilise national and local authorities to solve the issues of local cross-border transport and to prepare recommendations on necessary coordination and integration of competent authorities and transport services providers on either side of borders and prepare recommendations on needed investments in cross-border transport infrastructure.

Role of each ENPI partner ENPI will provide surveys as required by the WP leader. -Suggestion on cooperation for international and regional transport establishments. -analysis of maritime, rail and road traffic flows regarding Ukrainian cross border sections. Survey on the filed at cross border road and rail station point.
