February 8, 2019
The Brexit, any will be the modality - agreed or less - than exited of the United Kingdom from the European Union, will have an impact obviously also on the transeuropea net of the transports (TRIES) and, little more than a month and means from the recess, yesterday the European Parliament and the Council EU have reached a temporary agreement on the proposal of the EU commission to adapt to the alignment of the corridor Sea of the North - Mediterranean, that it is one of the nine main corridors of the net IT TRY and connects the north-western Mediterranean (port of Marseilles-Fos) with England and Ireland passing through the French territory (with connection with Paris) and Holland. The understanding is relative but to measures that would come but only applied if the United Kingdom withdrawals from the EU without an agreement.
The understanding, with the elimination of the part of Corridor on the territory of the United Kingdom, previews the addition to Core Network of TRIES new marine connections between the Irish central ports of Dublino, Cork and Shannon Foynes and various continental harbour ports of call that take part of Core Network of the net, that is the French ports of Calais, Dunkerque and the Havre, the ports Belgian of Antwerp, Ghent and Zeebrugge and the Dutch ports of Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Terneuzen.
Moreover the understanding adds a new priority of financing to the program Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) relative to the adaptation of the infrastructure of transport to the aims of safety and the controls to the external frontiers, priority that - in proposing the next program of job of the CEF - will be taken in consideration from the EU commission that will carry out an appraisal of the consequences of the Brexit on the connections of transport and the flows of traffic.
