BENEFITS TO EXTERNAL USERS. • UNFORTUNATELY THE NETWORK WAS ENLARGED TO INCLUDE MANY ROUTES OF VERY LITTTLE REAL INTEREST TO THE COMMUNITY. • THIS IMPLIED THAT THE EFFECTIVE SUPPORT WAS VERY LIMITED.

  6. SLIDE 6 • TO OVERCOME THE PROBLEM OF LACK OF FOCUS DUE TO THE LARGE NETWORK THE CONCEPT OF PRIORITY PROJECTS WAS DEVELOPED. • THESE PROJECTS NOW NUMBERING 30 ABSORB THE MAJORITY OF THE BUDGET. • THE PRIORITY IS GIVEN TO NON-ROAD MODES

  7. SLIDE 7 • ALTHOUGH TRAFFIC IS GROWING INVESTMENT IS NOT. • IN THE 1980s THE MS INVESTED AN AVERAGE OF 1.5% OF GDP ON TRANSPORT INFRASTRCUTURE. • IN 2004-5 INVESTMENT IN TEN-T IN EU 27 WAS DOWN TO 0.45% OF GDP. • CURRENT CRISIS IN PUBLIC SECTOR EXPENDITURE CREATES FURTHER PROBLEMS.

  12. SLIDE 11 INFRASTRUCTURE CHARGING. • THE EU PROPOSES INFRASTRUCTURE CHARGES THAT REFLECT EXTERNAL COSTS LIKE POLLUTION AND ACCIDENTS. • DIFFICULT POLITICALLY BUT SOME PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE IN RELATION TO HEAVY VEHICLE CHARGES. RECALL THAT MANY COUNTRIES ALREADY HAVE TOLL ROADS. • CONSIDER RINGFENCING MONEY FROM CHARGES TO SUPPORT INVESTMENT.

  13. SLIDE 12 MARCO POLO PROGRAMME • Marco Polo aims to free Europe's roads of an annual volume of 20 billion tonne-kilometres of freight. • co-funds direct modal-shift or traffic avoidance projects and projects providing supporting services which enable freight to switch from road to other modes. • The current programme runs until 2013 with an annual grant budget of about €60 million.
