The New Financial Framework for the Trans-European Network & MoS, Challenges & Opportunities for Maritime transport Infrastructure José Anselmo, European Commission DG for Mobility and (DG MOVE) 30 October 2014 B2mos Conference - VALENCIA
Key Messages 11,9 b to improve transport in Europe Largest ever amount dedicated to the development of transport infrastructure in the EU 1 st slice of the (app.) 26 b from the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Financing concentrated on 9 pan-european corridors to form an integrated European Network is fundamental for the European Economy (largest trading block in the world) short term impact on Jobs and Growth long term impact on the improvement of European Competitiveness
A New Financial framework in support of the new TEN-T policy Support implementation of White Paper through new infrastructure policy, including: Dual layer approach based on an objective methodology: core and comprehensive network Ambitious standards for all infrastructures Common deadlines to achieve network (2030/2050) Corridors and coordinators for implementation Improved infrastructure as the basis for more sustainable transport New legislation: Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013
New EU infrastructure policy package policy framework TEN-T Guidelines (Regulation 1315/2013) financial framework CEF (Regulation 1316/2013)
The new TEN-T maps A core and comprehensive network based on a single European methodology Comprehensive network to ensure accessibility to all regions Core network focussing on strategically most important parts Maps are contained in Annex I to the TEN-T Guidelines Regulation
The patchwork today Priority project sections completed by 2011
2030 a European core network
2030 a E202030 a European core network30 a European core networku2030 a European core networkropean core network
10 Core network Corridors - I
European Core Network :. RAIL (freight). Inland Ports. Maritime Ports. Rail-Road Terminals
TEN-T: deadlines By 2030: replace the patchwork of priority projects by a single European core network By 2050: develop the comprehensive network as ground layer to ensure accessibility and common standards
TEN-T standards Rail Comprehensive Network Electrification ERTMS 1435mm gauge Connection with freight terminals Core Network [see Comprehensive network plus] freight lines (>100 km/h, 750m train length, 22,5t axle load)
The 9 Core Network Corridors TEN-T
Key Messages II Financing given only trough competition to those best projects proposed by the Member States valued by their European Added Value is fundamental to the European Economy EU Population = > 505 Million people After Trans-Atlantic Trade Agreement = app. 900 Million people (EU + US + CAN) External Trade Increase => increase depending on Maritime (goods) and Air (passengers) + Suez, + NSR (?) + Panama +.
Motorways of the Sea THE SOLUTION Bridging the missing links Filling in for improved transport connections
Motorways of the Sea: overall objective Establish a trans-european network of Motorways of the Sea that concentrates flows of freight on viable, regular, and reliable sea-based transport services that are integrated in logistic chains and covers all types of maritime freight operations To Reduce Land congestion Increase use of more sustainable modes of transport Increase Efficiency and Effectiveness Improve accessibility to peripheral regions
Motorways of the Sea - Priorities: (1) Environment (2) Integration of Maritime in the Logistics Chain (3) Maritime Safety, Traffic Management, Human Element/Training
MoS Technical Areas Priority 1 - Environment General Sustainability and Safety Contribute to Climate Change solutions Fostering the deployment of new technologies and systems Meeting International and European Regulations MARPOL annex VI Sulphur Directive HOW? : supporting Technical Solutions e.g. LNG + METHANOL + SCRUBBERS, etc
MoS Technical Areas Priority 2 Integration of Maritime in the Logistics Chain Strengthen Cohesion Improve existing or establish new maritime links Improve Maritime integration in the global logistic chain Improve transhipment and hinterland connections in Ports Multimodal connections priority for the integration of Inland Navigation and Rail Improve ICT interoperability and Connections to the TEN-T Corridors and the Logistics Info Systems
MoS Technical Areas Priority 3 Safety, Traffic Management, Human Element/Training General Sustainability and Safety Strengthen Cohesion Developing more Efficient Traffic and Management Systems Fostering the deployment of new technologies and systems Optimisation of processes, procedures and the Human Element [e.g. Simulation Networks, long distance Training, Knowledge networks]
MoS Overall objectives II Serve Internal Trade (40%) Serve External Trade (75%) Connect the Corridors to Third Countries Overseas Mediterranean Black Sea Atlantic Hence connecting European Hinterland to Third Countries Hinterland
MoS into 2020 & 2030 European Coordinator will present a report to the European Parliament by March 2016: Work program for MoS 2020 & Beyond Three Main Conferences covering the 3 Priorities November (18-19) Gothenburg on Emissions March 2016 Venice on TM, Safety, HE May 2016 Liverpool on Integration of Maritime in the Global Logistics Chain
