6 ROOTS : CONCEPT OF EURO CORRIDORS Pan-European Transport Corridors (Pan-European Transport Conference, Crete 1994 / Helsinki 1997) European Spatial Development Perspective (1999) These corridors [ ] are an essential instrument of spatial development for the co-operation between cities. The Euro corridors can establish connections between the sectoral policies, such as transport, infrastructure, economic development, urbanisation and environment. Some corridors are already well-developed. In other regions such corridors have to be developed and connected with existing ones.

22 FUTURE: CETC as EGTC? January 2012: Project of Convention and Statute for CETC EGTC Full name: Central European Transport Corridor Limited Liability European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation (Centraleuropeiska transportkorridoren med begränsat ansvar europeisk gruppering för territoriellt samarbete) Acronym: Members: CETC-EGTC (CETC-EGTS) Zachodniopomorskie Region (PL) Lubuskie Region (PL) Dolnośląskie Region (PL) Opolskie Region (PL) Vas County (HU) Zala County (HU) Győr-Moson-Sporon Counties (HU) Administration: Poland, Szczecin

23 FUTURE: CETC as EGTC? Goals: 1.Supporting and promotion of transport development and accessibility of the territories along multimodal corridor from Baltic Sea to Adriatic and possible extension to Black Sea. 2.Supporting of sustainable economic development of engaged regions 3.Strengthening the compatibility of transport infrastructure in engaged regions. 4.Support for building of intermodal transport connections and promotion of environment-friendly solutions.

24 FUTURE: CETC as EGTC? Selected activities: creation of common planning area identification of missing links in infrastructure documentation for infrastructure investments lobbying at national levels for high priority for investments in Corridor knowledge and database exchange concepts for logistic chains promotion of clusters inclusion of R&D sector promotion of green transport infrastructure integrated promotion tourism promotion of mark (logo) other.

25 PROBLEMS & QUESTIONS CETC does not involved all the regions located along the axis Activities of existing Secretariat are not satisfactory for all Partners Concept and main goals of CETC development are somehow blurred Proposed formula of EGTC is not convincing for all partners. The potential of the CETC axis is big, however the rivalry of neighbouring corridors in the West and East are also big! Will the CETC find necessary determination and adequate tools to successfully promote itself in growing competition within EU?

26 The length of the corridor must be justified by its power. Prof. Jurij Krivorutchko (Lviv, Ukraine) Thank you for your attention!
