1.POLITICAL FRAMEWORK
AND POSSIBLE APPROACHES
2
TransportTransport
Political Framework(1)
White Paper on Transport 2050 (published March 2011)
- White Paper 2001 "modal shift"
- Revision 2006 "co-modality"
- White Paper 2011 "modal integration"
General Objectives of the White Paper:•higher efficiency of transport and infrastructure use;
•optimised logistic chains (efficiency, sustainability;
•innovative transport management and information;
•less CO2 due to innovative propulsion and fuels
=> We need a "green" transport system!

TransportTransport
Specific Objectives of the White Paper (2050)
With transport volumes still growing:
•Reducing CO2 emissions of transport by 60%;
•Eliminating conventionally driven vehicles from cities(2030: - 50 %);
•Reducing emissions of maritime transport by 40%;
•Increasing modal share of rail and inland waterwaysto 50% in medium and long distance transport(2030: 30%);
•Tripling the length of high speed rail network by 2030;
•Connect large airports to rail;
•Deploy innovative technologies (e.g. H2, LNG; ERTMS);
•….

TransportTransport
Possible Approaches and Measures
1. Multimodality and Modal Shift:•Legal framework and transport market conditions(laws, regulations, taxes, tolls, subsidies, …)=> applicable only to a limited extent!
•Improving multimodal mobility and logistics.
2. Improvements of Transport Infrastructure:•Improving multimodal mobility and logistics (in particular rail, inland waterways, ports, terminals, …):TEN-T => high investments!
3. Innovative Traffic Management and Drive Systems:•ITS, ERTMS, RIS, …
•Electric, H2, LNG, bio-fuels, ...) 5

2.THE NEW TEN-T POLICY
6
TransportTransport
TEN-T development since 1996
1996 TEN-T Guidelines for EU 15 (Dec. 1692/96/EC):dense basic network + 14 Priority Projects (“Essen”);
1997 Pan-European Corridors I – X (“Helsinki Corridors”);
1999 TINA (“Transport Infrastructure Needs Assessment”);
2004 Guidelines revision - EU27 (Dec. 884/2004/EC): dense basic network (“old” MS)+ TINA network (“new” MS)+ 30 Priority Projects (TEN-T PP's: “Van Miert”);
2007 Extension of major TEN axes to neighbouring countries(“De Palacio”: COM/2007/0032);
2010 Recast of the TEN-T Guidelines (Dec. 661/2010/EU);
2013 TEN-T Policy Review+ Connecting Europe Facility (CEF). 7
TransportTransport
• Correspond with the objectives of the Treaty;
• Reflect a European planning perspective;
• Form a dual layer (Comprehensive and Core) “network” connecting EU with neighbouring countriesand the rest of the world;
• Comprise all modes of transport (and their linkages):road, rail, sea and inland waterway, ports, RRT's, airports;
• Take into account environment and climate needs,
• Comprise technological innovation:traffic information and management systems,infrastructure for innovative power and fuel distribution
• Overlap with other, also previous concepts:PETC’s, TEN-T PP's, De Palacio axes;ERTMS and rail freight corridors.

TEN-T Comprehensive & Core Network
The Comprehensive Network is the dense basic network,•to ensure regional accessibility,•comprising all modes of transport;•determined by Member States, acc. to certain rules (updating the TEN-T of 1996)
The Core Network is a subset of the Comprehensive Network:•the strategically most important nodes and links,•comprising all modes of transport,•equipped with innovative technology applications;•determined by a special methodology:mixed geographical-traffic demand driven approach,2 steps: nodes and links(replacing the TEN-T PP's of 2004);•implementation by 2030. 9
TransportTransport
TEN-T Core Network Corridors (1)
9 Core Network Corridors selected within the Core Network,
•to improve coordination of implementation:governance structure:11 European Coordinators (1 per Corridor, + MoS, ERTMS)Corridor Forum (all relevant stakeholders);
•to optimise multimodal operation for passengers & freight(with particular focus on nodes);
•to enhance deployment of innovative technologies(pilot applications);
•Selected to include politically complex projects, in particular border crossing, following previous PETC's,TEN-T PP's, De Palacio axes, ERTMS and rail freight corridors (where part of the Core Network).
•Rail and inland waterway considered as the backbone.10

• 23,2 B€,of which 10 B€ from Cohesion Fundare earmarked for cohesion countries;
• 80 – 85 % (“multi-annual programme”) for:- 3 horizontal priorities,- Core Network Corridors,- other sections of the Core Network.
• 15 – 20 % (“annual programme”) for- further projects of the Core Network
and of the Comprehensive Network(in particular innovation, ITS);
• Innovative financing instruments (project bonds, PPP);
• In general, CEF does not apply for road projects(except: ITS, safe parking areas, alternative fuels).
14
CEF Allocation (2014 – 2020)
TransportTransport
• up to 50% for studies;
• up to 20% for investments in general;
• up to 30% for bottlenecks;
• up to 40% für border crossing projects(only rail and inland waterway);
• up to 50% für ITS-projects and innovation;
• up to 85% in cohesion countries(acc. to the rules of Cohesion Fund).
• Actual allocation of funds upon project applications:- calls by TEN-TEA,- project evaluation (by independent experts),- "EU added value",- project maturity (to ensure absorption of money),- ratio applied volumes vs. available budget.

4."GREEN CORRIDORS"
16
TransportTransport
Base of the concept:Freight Transport Logistics Action Plan (DG MOVE, 2007):- Green Corridors,- e-freight, e-maritime, …
"Green Corridors":The idea is to bundle, along a corridor, all measures to enhance overall efficiency and sustainability,including minimising:- CO2 emissions,- other negative impacts on environment and human life,
This comprises measures in following fields:- multimodality and modal shift,- improvements of transport infrastructure,- innovative traffic management and driving systems
(covering all modes of transport).17
"Green Corridors"
TransportTransport
18
"Green" Core Network CorridorsThe concept includes operational aspects, which allows:
a particular focus on multimodality and modal shift, supported by e-freight, etc.:- ports, road-rail terminals,- airports;
an extension to include passenger transport;
a particular focus on urban nodes:- optimised linkage long, medium, short distance
- city logistics,- public transport.
This is in fully line with the goals of BESTFACT.
TransportTransport
19
Long-Term and Final GoalsInput expected from past, current and future projects/studies, e.g.:SuperGreen,Bothnian Green Logistic Corridor,Swiftly Green,BESTFACT, …
Extensionfrom Core Network Corridorsto the entire Core and – finally – Comprehensive Network:
=> a "Green TEN-T"=> a "Green Transport System".
