the EU commission anticipates the nine infrastructural corridors of Core Network TRIES
They will connect 94 ports and 38 great main airports, 15,000 transboundary kilometers of railway lines to high speed and 35 projects
October 17, 2013
Today, in occasion of the development of IT TRY Days 2013 to Tallinn, the EU commission has introduced the new which unified central net IT TRY that it will be constituted by nine main infrastructural corridors that will form the arteries of the transports in the European only market, the Cores Network in which give 2014 to 2020 the EU will invest until 26,25 billion euros (the availability of financings will depend on the outcome of the negotiations in course on the pluriennale picture financial for period 2014-2020).
The central infrastructural net formed from the nine main corridors, of which everyone it must include three modalities of transport, three Member States and two dissects transboundary, will be subdivided in two corridors East-West north-south, three diagonal corridors and four corridors. The objective of the EU commission is that Core Network of TRIES, whose completion is previewed within 2030, transforms the connections East-West (that they represent a priority of the infrastructural political new of the EU), it eliminates the throttlings, it afford to update infrastructures and to slim the operations connected to the transboundary transports in all the EU to advantage is of the passengers who of the goods.
Brussels has specified that, for giving the priority to the infrastructural connections East-West, almost the half of the financings EU in favor of transport infrastructures will be classified exclusively to the Countries of the cohesion objective (the program "Connecting Europe Facility" previews an only equipment of 33,242 billion euros for the period 2014-2020, of which 26,250 billion assigned exactly to the field of the transports and, of these, 11,305 billion euros they are classified to investments in infrastructures connected to the transports in the Member States that re-enters in the Bottom of cohesion).
Beyond 31 billion euros allocated for transport in the within of the pluriennale picture financial of Connecting Europe Facility they will act practically as "starter capital" in order to stimulate ulterior investments by the Member States you turn to complete transboundary connections that otherwise could not be realized. According to the esteem of the Commission, the cost of the performance of the first phase of financing of the central net will pile totally to 250 billion euros in period 2014-2020.
The EU commission has remembered that it will be up to the Member States to introduce proposed progettuali detailed, on the base of which will be assigned the financings, and that this would have to happen within the first months of 2014. Brussels has remembered moreover that, on the whole, the contribution of the EU to a great transport infrastructure project represents 20% about of the cost of the investment for a period financial financial seven-year-old and that the support for individual studies can represent until 50% of the cost and for the studies and the relative work to transboundary projects until 40%; the remainder is financed by the Member States, the local authorities or eventually by private investor. Regarding the classified amount of 11,3 billion euros to the permissible Member States to the Bottom of cohesion the co-financing can arrive until 85%.
The central net will altogether connect 94 great European ports with railway and street lines, 38 great airports with railway lines that connected to the main cities, 15,000 kilometers of railway lines converted to high speed and 35 transboundary projects destined to reduce the throttlings.
In order to involve all the parts interested and the Member States will be created "corridor platforms", that is structures of governance that will elaborate and put into effect "corridor development plans" turns to effectively coordinate the work carried out along the corridor in various Member States and various phases of the project. The platforms of corridor of the main corridors of the central net will be presided by European coordinators.
The EU commission has specified moreover that the new central net of transport will be completed by an immense net of lines that will be connected to the central net to regional and national level and that it will cover the entire territory of the EU with the final objective to make progressively so that, within 2050, the overwhelming majority of the citizens and the European companies is not distant more than 30 minutes than travel from the main net. This total net will be managed in great part from the Member States, with the possibility to obtain an inferior quota the financings available within Connecting Europe Facility and regional politics.
"The transports - it has emphasized the vice president of the EU commission, Siim Kallas, in charge of the transports, introducing new Core Network of the net TRIES in the vital Estonian - are crucial for the European economy and Europe will not be able to grow and to prosper without good connections. Our infrastructural political new will allow to realize in the 28 Member States an European net of the transports solid and able to promote the increase and the competitiveness that the east will connect to the west and will replace the current fragmentation with an authentically European net".
The nine corridors of the central net TRY
The corridor Baltic Sea-Adriatic is one of the more important street aces and railway transeuropei that the Baltic Sea connects to Mare Adriatico crossing industrialized zones that go from southern Poland (advanced Slesia) to Vienna and Bratislava, the Region of the Alps orientals and to northern Italy. Its realization comprises important railway projects as the gallery of base of the Semmering, the railway line of the Koralm in Austria and the transboundary sections between Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The corridor Sea of Baltic North-Sea connects the ports of the coast oriental of the Baltic Sea with the ports of the Sea of the North. The corridor will connect Finland with Estonia with ferry boats and will create modern street and railway connections between the three States the Baltic Sea, on one side, and Poland, Germany, the Low Countries and Belgium, from the other. The corridor comprises also fluvial connections between the Oder river and the ports of Germany, Countries Bassi and Belgium, as the "Mittelland-Kanal". The project more important is the "Rail Baltic", an European railroad to gauge standard between Tallinn, Line, Kaunas and northeastern Poland.
The Mediterranean corridor connects the Iberian Peninsula with the border ungro-Ukrainian coasting the Mediterranean shoreline of Spain and France in order then to cross the Alps in northern Italy in east direction, touching the adriatic coast in Slovenia and Croatia, and continuing towards Hungary. Besides the Pò river and some other channel in the Italy North, the corridor is essentially street and railway. The main railway projects along this corridor are the Lyon-Turin connections and the Venice-Ljubljana section.
The corridor oriental/Mediterranean oriental connects the marine interfaces of the Sea of the North, Baltic Sea, Black Sea and the Mediterranean optimizing the use of the relative ports and the respective freeways of the sea. Including Elba as navigable way internal will afford to improve the multimodali connections between northern Germany, the Czech Republic, the region of the Pannonia and the sudest of Europe. By sea it will go then from Greece to Cyprus.
The scandinavian-Mediterranean corridor is an axis crucial north-south for the European economy. Crossing the Baltic Sea from Finland and Sweden and passing through Germany, the Alps and Italy, it connects the main urbanized areas and ports of Scandinavia and northern Germany to the industrialized centers of production of southern Germany, Austria and the Italy North and therefore to the Italian ports and of the TV assistant. The projects more important than this corridor are the fixed connection of the Fehmarnbelt and the gallery of base of Brenner, with the respective ways of access. The corridor reaches therefore Malta by sea passing from southern Italy and the Sicily.
The Rhine-Alps corridor more constitutes one of the routes goods sold of Europe: it connects the ports of the Sea of the North of Rotterdam and Antwerp with the Mediterranean Sea to Genoa crossing Switzerland and passing for some of the main economic centers of the Rhenish Ruhr, the regions of Rhine and the agglomerate of Milan. It is a multimodale corridor that includes the Rhine as internal navigable way. The main projects are the galleries of base in Switzerland, partially already completed, and their ways of access in Germany and Italy.
The Atlantic corridor connects the western part of the Iberian Peninsula and the ports of the Havre and Rouen to Paris and therefore to Mannheim/Strasbourg with railway lines to high speed and railway lines conventional parallels, including also Senna as internal navigable way. The marine dimension carries out a crucial role in this corridor.
The corridor Sea of Mediterranean North-Sea goes from the North from Ireland and of the United Kingdom until Mare Mediterraneo in the south of France through the Low Countries, Belgium and the Luxemburg. It is a multimodale corridor that comprises internal navigable waters in the Benelux and France and not only intends to offer better multimodali services between the ports of the Sea of the North, the fluvial basins of the Meuse river, Rhenish, of the Schelda, Senna, the Saona and Rodano and the ports of Fos-sur-Mer and Marseilles, but also a better interconnection between the British islands and continental Europe.
The Rhine-Danube corridor, whose main fluvial arteries are Less and the Danube, connects the central regions around Strasbourg and Frankfurt on Less through southern Germany to Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest in order to arrive at last to the Black Sea, with an important section between Monk of Bavaria and Praga, Zilina, Kosice and the Ukrainian border.
