  1. The new TEN-T guidelines Results of the legislative procedure Philippe Chantraine (MOVE B1), 24 June 2013

  2. What has happened so far?

  3. The key elements of the Commission proposal • Support implementation of Transport White Paper through new infrastructure policy including: • Dual layer approach based on an objective methodology: core and comprehensive network • Ambitious standards for all infrastructures • Common deadlines to achieve network (2030/2050) • Corridors and coordinators for implementation • Regulation instead of decision

  4. The results: Maps • A core and comprehensive network based on an objective methodology • Parliament and Council accepted and adjusted the methodology • Comprehensive network to ensure accessibility to all regions • Core network focussing on strategically most important parts • 103 seaports, 93 airports, 81 inland ports in the core network • Delegated acts to adapt comprehensive network according to traffic flows (inclusion/exclusion of nodes)

  5. The results: Standards • Comprehensive network • Mainly basis for specific legal acts (e.g. tunnel safety directive, TSIs, Single Sky, etc.) • Rail: ERTMS + electrification with possibility for exemptions • Inland waterways: class IV with possibility for exemptions • Safety and security, environmental protection, climate resilience, accessibility for all users

  6. The results: Standards • Core network • Road: express roads or motorways, parking areas, alternative clean fuels • Rail: ERTMS, electrification, European track gauge • Rail freight lines: 22.5 t axle load, 740 m train length, 100 km/h line speed • Alternative clean fuels for ports, inland ports and airports • Possibilities for exemptions by the Commission under certain conditions

  7. The results: Deadlines • Comprehensive network 2050: • "Member States shall make all possible efforts with the aim to complete the comprehensive network and comply with the relevant provisions of this Chapter by 31 December 2050." • Core network 2030: • "Member States shall take the appropriate measures for the core network to be developed in order to comply with the provisions of this Chapter by 31 December 2030"

  8. The results: the implementation tools • Coordinators and Core Network Corridors • Support the implementation of the core network • Synchronise investments in order to optimise network benefits • Multimodal, involving at least 3 Member States • Flexible governance structures • Involvement of stakeholders • Coordinators for ERTMS and Motorways of the Sea • Geographical description of corridors is contained in the Annex to the CEF

  9. The results: European Coordinator • Nominated in agreement with MS concerned and after consultation of Parliament and Council • Acting on behalf of Commission • Commission to provide secretarial assistance • Draws up work plan together with MS concerned • Chairing the Corridor Forum • Possibility to set up working groups • Interoperability, intermodality, cross border projects • Consulting local authorities, civil society, users etc. • MS shall cooperate with Coordinator

  10. The results: Corridor Forum • Consultative Body • No details on participants in the regulation, but MS to agree on membership • Likely participants: MS, infrastructure managers, ports, airports, regions, Interreg cooperations, … • Main activity: consultation when preparing work plan and follow up the implementation • No decision power

  11. The results: How to make a corridor

  12. Overall assessment • Stronger European approach • Emphasis on EU added value • Network approach • Reinforced implementation tools • Stronger engagement by MS and stakeholders (deadline, regulation) • Stronger transport policy • Infrastructure as basis for transport policy • Standards • New technologies and innovation
