The Region Friuli Venice Julia with confidence attends penultimate the green light to the Corridor Baltic Sea-Adriatic



Tomorrow to Luxemburg the Council will meet EU of the Transports with the objective to approve of the initiative "Connecting Europe Facility" (CEF), that it will represent the skeleton financial institution of the transeuropee nets of the transports, of the telecommunications and the energy in period 2014-2021 and that could be endowed in the single field of the transport of 31,7 billion euros.

In this context, in the directory of the ten great Corridors on which the priority interest of the European Union will be pined, they will be inserted is the so-called Mediterranean Corridor ("heir" in the name of Corridor V, from France towards Slovenia, Hungary and Ukraine) is the Corridor Baltic Sea-Adriatic, than they will cross in railway infrastructures of Cervignano. It has remembered the Region Friuli Venice Julia that yesterday, in the center of the agency to Brussels, has held a round table on the economic role of the railway connection between the Baltic Sea and the Sea Adriatic.

"It is about to materialize smash hit, a result that it will be able to mark the future of the Friuli Venice Julia - the regional city council member to Infrastructures has commented, Riccardo Riccardi - and if between two days the Council EU Transports will share the position of the EU commission, the Corridor Baltic Sea-Adriatic therefore will have exceeded also the penultimate stage before the final approval of the European Parliament".

"The European Union - it has continued Riccardi - looks to projects that answer to a system logic. The Regions have known to contribute to the waits that the vice president EU Siim Kallas had placed to the 19 Regions involved in this project, of five various Countries, last year when the Baltic Sea-Adriatic was becoming a truth in the within of the new communitarian nets of transport: the Baltic Adriatic puts with a "piece" of EU thanks to a net that connects the high Adriatic to central Europe crossing the Alps".

The city council member Riccardi however has evidenced as the new infrastructures are important, but "alone not sufficient. They inside serve, in fact - it has explained - also political and parity of conditions of Europe - in customs, fiscal field, of cost of the labor - for the management of the traffics, and also ability to respect the enforced rules".

Riccardi has found that the Baltic Sea-Adriatic will be identified, "and - it has emphasized - perhaps the thing is not negligible", with number 1, to the first place therefore of the list of the great corridors EU, and corresponds in its development to the demands formulated from the Region Friuli Venice Julia: already previewed in the precedence communitarian programmings from the Polish ports of Gdansk and Gdynia until Vienna, now the Baltic Sea-Adriatic leaves from Helsinki and the marine ports of call of the Countries the Baltic Sea (Tallinn, Estonia; Line, Latvia; Klaipeda, Lithuania), cross Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Austria and from Tarvisio come down towards Udine and Cervignano. It reaches therefore Venice and Ravenna (possible a its extension until to Ancona), but from Cervignano, towards Alto Adriatico, it is connected to the ports of Trieste, Monfalcone and Porto Nogaro, as proposed from Italy: Trieste, and "consequently" Monfalcone and Porto Nogaro - it has observed the city council member of the Region Friuli Venice Julia - so are identified as natural harbour outlets altoadriati us of the Corridor, with Venice, Ravenna and Koper (Slovenia), and become conclusive points of the railway distribution Udine-Cervignano. Moreover - it has added - to Brussels a bilateral reunion between the Ministries of Transportation of Italy is always previewed tomorrow on this topic and Slovenia, "that I wish can consider "an opening to discuss" on the possible connection on Trieste-Koper track".

In the course of the round table, to which they have between the others participated, beside Riccardi, the europarlamentari Antonio Cancian, Joerg Leichtfried (Austria) and Jan Kozlowski (Poland), Antonio Ferrazza, responsible for the transeuropee Nets of the Italian ministry of Infrastructures and Transports, Helmut Adelsberger, of the direction EU Transports, and Kurt Fallast, of the University of Graz that between some month the study dedicated to the generabili economic basins from the Corridor will introduce, is remembered that on the projects of initiative CEF the European Union will be able to take part financially until 40% of the transboundary drafts, from the 20 to 30% on the drafts, internal tothe States, deductions "necks of bottle" of the line, and for 50% on the studies.

After the decision of the Council EU of the Transports - Riccardi has remembered - the last testing ground will be therefore the Parliament, with its Commission "Transports and Tourism" and "Industry, Search and Energy": for first of November - it has concluded - the positive opinion by these would have to arrive in combined way two Commission, while the "green light" total of the Parliament is previewed for January of 2013.
