The Current state of TENs • Need for change: • Failure to make progress on the priority projects . • Entry of new Member States . • Widen the geographical coverage but • Concentrate on a limited number of major routes.
Priority projects – 30 located on major axes and covering the 25 m/s plus Bulgaria and Rumania. • The 30 projects represent an investment of 225 B € up to 2020. • The complete network would require 600 B € up to 2020 . • Focus on rail and maritime transport including the new concept of the Motorways of the Sea.
Guidelines revised to allow up to 20% to be given in financial support-notably for cross- border sections. • Designation of ‘European Coordinators for certain major cross- border projects. • Funding problems : EU 15 in the past devoted 1.5% of GDP now less than 1% when traffic is increasing.
For the future • Better links to the EU’s new neighbours • Improvement of planning arrangements. • Funding . Less than 1% of GDP is invested in infrastructure. • EU support programmes : • CARDS – Western Balkans. • TACIS –Eastern Europe and Central Asia. • MEDA – Euro- Mediterranean Pertnership.
Conclusions • Identified a number of major trans-national axes. • 3O specific projects on these axes. • High level group established to identify jointly priority projects linking to neighbouring countries.
