the European representations of the field of the transport ask more deep EU for the infrastructural net TRY



Twenty-nine primaries European organizations that represent the field of the transport, constituted from the managers of infrastructures, the operators and the users of the marine transport and internal the navigable ways, from the railroads and the aerial section, have thrown again, as already happened in the past, an initiative in order to speed up the Parliament and the Council of the European Union to increase the budget of the "Mechanism in order to connect Europe" (Connecting Europe Facility - CEF), the plan of investments for the development of infrastructures of transport of the EU that have replaced the programs TRY, TEN-E and Marco Polo II.

The appeal is introduced today in sight of the next review of pluriennale picture financial (QFP) that it defines the balance anniversaries of the European Union, establishing maximal of expense for enclosed field a that for the investments in the field of the transport.

The 29 organizations have remembered that the initial budget for program CEF era of 31 billion euros, pairs to 2.8% of the amount total of the QFP, but until the 2020 has remained alone two billions of deep euros of classified to the field of the transports. Moreover they have evidenced that in the within of the procedures of selection of the projects to finance with deep CEF pairs to three times are introduced projects for a total amount the financiable amount and this - they have emphasized - has involved that an elevated number of projects of elevated quality in the field of the transports is rejected because of the insufficient fixed budget from the EU.

Besides this - they have still evidenced the 29 organizations - the limited resources which put on from the European Union have produced economic pressures and put to hard it tries the national budgets, carrying to record the historical minim of investments publics.

The 29 organizations have restated that the economy of the EU cannot afford that is not completed the transeuropea infrastructural net TRIES, lacked completion - they have rimarcato - that Gross Domestic Product of the EU and the lacked creation 11 million places of work would cause to a loss pairs to about 3,2 billion euros in terms of. "This - they have denounced - is a intolerable risk for the increase and the current and future occupation".

The 29 organizations have specified that their appeal is not only turned to speed up the appropriation of greater economic resources, but are face also to ask means necessary in order to make of net TEN- a truth.

Isabelle Ryckbost, general secretary of the European Sea Ports Organisation (ESPO), has specified which is the impact on the ports of the insufficiency of the budget EU for transport: "looking to the harbour field - he has explained - it is obvious that the ports are making of their best in order to take advantage of the offered financial instruments from Flat Juncker (EFSI) and will continue to make it. However he would have himself also to be understood that many harbour projects with a fort social return of the investments and a high added value in terms of attainment of the energetic and climatic objectives of Europe must be confronted with important limitations from the financial point of view and they cannot resort to the credit system. For these projects the deep CEF continue to being a vital ingredient in order to complete the net TRY. With such purpose the two billions of euros that have remained until 2020 will not allow to develop the plan of infrastructures of transport of Europe".

The point of view of the fluvial and internal ports of the European Union is introduced by Alexander Van den Bosch, director of the European Federation of Inland Ports (EFIP), that it has remembered as "one of the distintive characteristics of politics for IT TRY it is that of being multimodale and this - has observed - clearly demands an adapted integration of the internal ports in order to assure a efficient transfer of the goods from a modality of transport to another. This can happen clearly only if the financing of essential projects is approved of elevated quality, with an added value for the EU. In the past - it has found Van den Bosch - this always has not happened because of the limited budget of the EU. We hope that the review of the QFP will improve the things".
