The EU commission has introduced the new configuration to two levels (Core network and total net) of the transeuropea infrastructural net TRIES
The central net will have to be completed within 2030, that total one within 2050. Previewed total costs of 250 billion euros for the first phase (2014-2020) of Core Network. The appropriation for period 2012-2020 is of single 31,7 billion. Satisfaction of ESPO for the role assigned to the ports
October 19, 2011

Today the EU commission has adopted and introduced the proposal for the new "dual-layer" configuration of the transeuropea infrastructural net IT TRY centralized on a "central infrastructure net" (Core Network), to be completed within 2030, that they will have the task to eliminate the throttlings of the net, to modernize it and to slim the transboundary operations of transport for passengers and goods, and on a destined total net to feeding that headquarters.

The Commission has published a preliminary list of projects destined to take part of Core Network of TRIES, central net to which - it has specified Brussels - rigorously the Europeans for period 2014-2020 will be addressed deep. Relatively to Italy they figure in the directory: for the railway field, the Lyon-Turin lines, Genoa-Rotterdam, Milan-Brescia, Brescia-Venice-Trieste, Trieste-Divaccia, tunnel of base of Brenner, Fortress-Verona, Naples-Bari, Naples-Reggio Calabria and Messina-Palermo; for the ports, the Trieste-Venice-Ravenna interconnection; for the freeways of the sea/ports, the Palermo-TV assistant connection; for the fluvial transport, the Milan-Mantua-Venice-Trieste connection.

The central net will be integrated with the total net, to be completed within 2050, that it will guarantee the full cover of the territory of the EU and accessibility to all the regions. The central net will privilege instead the connections and the more important nodes of TRY so as to return it totally operating within 2030. Both the nets - it has emphasized the Commission - comprise all the ways of transport: navigable roads, railroads, airlines, internal ways and marine transport, let alone the intermodal platforms.

The Commission has specified that the Core new Network will lean on a total net of connections that will feed the central net to regional and national level. This last infrastructure will be mainly financed by the Member States, with the possibility, in some cases, to reach to deep EU of politics of the transports and regional politics, also by means of new innovative instruments of financing. The objective is that to guarantee that progressively, within 2050, the great majority of the citizens and the enterprises of Europe does not have to employ more than 30 minutes in order to reach the total net.

The Commission has explained that the realization of the central net will be facilitated by means of the adoption of an approach for corridors. Ten corridors - shaped the directory second that we publish below - will be to the base of the co-ordinate development of the infrastructure in the within of the central net. Such corridors will interest not less than three modalities than transport, three Member States and two dissect transboundary. Moreover "Platforms of corridor" will be presided by European coordinators who will reunite all the interested parts, constituting an instrument essential in order to guarantee the coordination, the cooperation and the transparency.

The new central net will interest 83 ports, 37 airports, 15,000 kilometers of railway lines converted to the high speed and 35 great transboundary projects. The Commission previews that the cost of the performance of the first phase of financing for the central net in period 2014-2020 will cost 250 billion euros.

Brussels has remembered that for the development of the infrastructure of the transports transeuropea for next period financial (2012-2020) is allocated 31,7 billion euros, deep that the Commission considers must act as "starter capital" in order to stimulate ulterior investments by the Member States, and that 80% of this sum will be destined to the priority projects of the central net along the ten corridors and to the financing of horizontal projects (of computer science content) as SESAR (the technological dimension of the system of management of the air traffic of the sky only European) and ERTMS (the European system of management of the railway traffic that will have to be used in all the great corridors of transport). The residual financings could be direct to projects ad hoc, comprised the projects of the total net.

The Commission has evidenced that the financings TRY exercise a strong effect raise and that the experience of the last years demonstrates that every million euro spold to European level generates five million euro from the governments of the Member States and 20 million from the private sector. Besides this effect it raises - it has found Brussels - today exists the possibility to obtain new private financings by means of innovative financial instruments, as the project obligations (project bonds).

The Commission has clarified moreover that the ordinary rates financing for the projects TRY of the central net will be pairs to a maximum of 50% for the co-financing EU of studies and pairs to a maximum of 20% for the exploratory work (for example, work for an important gallery), and have specified that exists the possibility to increase the co-financing of the transboundary projects for the railway connections and of inland navigation (until 40%) and that for some projects STI, as the ERTMS, can be granted a higher co-financing, not advanced to 50%, in order to support the Member States that carries out the transition to the new one system.

"The transports - the vice president of the Commission has declared and responsible commissioner for transport, Siim Kallas - are fundamental for a efficient economy in the EU, but today vital connections lack. The European railroads have seven various gauges and single 20 of our main airports and 35 of the main ports are connected directly to the railway net. Without efficient connections, Europe cannot neither grow neither prosper".

The European Sea Ports Organisation (ESPO) has given a first positive judgment on the new configuration of TRIES proposed from the Europe Commission, in which - it has observed the association of the European ports - the marine ports figure on the first floor, with 83 ports and harbour clusters selected as part of Core Network and where almost all the multimodali corridors carry out a function of connection with the marine ports.

"Making ours the dual philosophy "layer" in a starting phase - it has found the general secretary of ESPO, Patrick Verhoeven - we are successful to having the enclosed ports appropriately in IT TRY. This is a very positive step. Now we must make so that the ports are not anticipate alone "on the maps", but that they can have use of effectively of the financings and other measures of support that are offered by the system of IT TRY. This is worth also for the ports that take part of the total net. Moreover - it has concluded Verhoeven - it could be necessary see again some of the multimodali corridors in order to make sure that they effectively supply the more efficient and sustainable connections for Europe".
