Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT, CONSTRUCTION AND MARITIME ECONOMY

1. TEN-T is a basic structure which shapes European transport system;

2. Its design is performed to:

• increase the efficiency of the single market,

• ensure the internal cohesion of the EU and

• enable smooth and sustainable movement of people and goods in the EU,

• ensure accessibility in all regions of the Union.

3. Thus redefined TEN-T network will determine investment priorities of European Commission in transport infrastructure until 2030 and beyond.

MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT, CONSTRUCTION AND MARITIME ECONOMY

• every 5 years European Commission carries out revision of the TEN-T.

•2004 -2005 - the previous revision of the EU TEN-T guidelines;

•from 2009 until now - the current process of the guidelines’ revision, so-called big revision. It comprises:

review of the current implementation by Member States of the TEN-T priority projects and

Establishment of new rules for operation and methodology for determining the network.

• 12 June 2013 – a compromise was reached between Council and the European Partliment on the shape of the TEN-T Regulation in the first reading. Before it will enter into force it has to be aproved by the EP in the plenary voting which is expected to take place within 3 months.

REVISION OF TEN-T

2

The main assumptions of future TEN-T development


1. Creating a consistent and interoperable transport network of unified, high-technically parameteres throughout the EU in order to improve efficiency of the system (the current TEN-T Priority Projects do not form a coherent network);

2. Future development of TEN-T is based on a dual layer structure consisting of a comprehensive network and a core network;

3. Creation of core network corridors which are designed to better coordinate activities by Member States on the agreed core network elements in the new financial perspective 2014-2020;

4. Multimodal TEN-T network covers infrastructure of all modes of transport and appropriate traffic and information management systems.

COMPREHENSIVE NETWORK

The whole TEN-T network - providing equal access to all regions of the EU

at the level of NUTS 2 (level of provinces in Poland).

Estimated time of completion is 2050.

CORE NETWORK

Isolated from the comprehensive network.nodes and links of the most strategic

and economical importance for the EU.Estimated time of completion is 2030.

CONCLUSIONS FROM THOSE MAPS?

Numerous Polish proposals for the extension of the TEN-T demonstratethat the Polish Government attaches great importance to the development of a modern transport infrastructure in order to use fully the potential of Poland’s convenient location in the center of Europe;

The density of the new TEN-T on Polish territory is similar to that in the EU-15 Member States;

TEN-T network was supplemented by:

16 new sections of rail, including 2 on the core network;14 new sections of road, including 3 on the core network;two additional airports in Bydgoszcz (comprehensive network) and Łódź (core network)additional seaport in Police (comprehensive network)8 major urban nodes: Warszawa, Kraków, Łódź, Wrocław, Poznań, Katowice, Gdańsk, Szczecin (core network),16 logistic platforms

Development priorities for TEN-T multimodalinfrastructure


In promoting the projects of common interest which relate to multi-modal infrastructure the priority will be given to the following:

a.Assurance of effective interconnection and integration of comprehensive network infrastructure, including access infrastructure and freight terminals and logistic platforms;

b.Removal of the most important technical and administrative barriers for multimodal transport;

c.Assurance of smooth information flow between the various modes of transport and multimodal services and services related to one mode of transport across the European transport system.

SUMMARY

•Inclusion of numerous Polish proposals in the new TEN-T draft Guidelines highlights their European dimension in the context of the international transport;

•Underdeveloped transport infrastructure will gain the opportunity to continue the dynamic development with the support of EU funds, including the CEF;

•Provisions contained in the above-mentioned project, after its entry into force, will constitute an obligation for the Member States to invest in certain sections of the TEN-T that meet unified technical standards in time horizons to 2030 - for the core network and till 2050 - for the comprehensive network.
