Trans-European Transport Network Regulation EU No 1315/2013 – Objectives Strengthen the social, economic and territorial cohesion of the Union Contribute to the creation of a Single European Transport Area which is: efficient sustainable increases benefits for users supports inclusive growth Strategic framework White Paper for Transport By 2030: A fully functional multimodal TEN-T ‘core network’ Connect all core seaports to the rail freight network 30% of road freight over 300km shift to rail or waterborne transport By 2050: 60% reduction of CO2 for transport sector A European high-speed rail network Most of medium-distance passenger transport by rail Connect all core network airports to rail network 2

New TEN-T policy By 2030: a single European TEN-T core network By 2050: a TEN-T comprehensive network, as “ground layer”, to ensure accessibility TEN-T maps

Standards Core network Road: Rail: 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

TEN-T Core Network Corridors European 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 Consultative Corridor Fora, with involvement of all stakeholders Coordinators for ERTMS and Motorways of the Sea 5

Core Network Corridors - implementation tools - European 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 Consultative Corridor Fora, with involvement of all stakeholders Coordinators for ERTMS and Motorways of the Sea

Connecting Europe Facility - Transport Budget: €26.2 billion for TEN-T 14.9bn EUR for all Member States 11.3bn EUR for "Cohesion" Member States Funding priorities: Core Network Corridors: cross-border, bottlenecks Pre-identified projects in the CEF Annex Other cross-border sections and bottlenecks Horizontal priorities: ITS, ERTMS, interoperability, innovation&new technologies, safe and secure infrastructure Core, but also the comprehensive TEN-T More sustainable modes of transport (railways, IWW) Innovative financial instruments Connections with neighbouring countries 7

Complementarity CEF – ESI Funds High EU added-value on TEN-T Corridors and core network (as pre-identified in Annex I of the CEF Regulation) More sustainable modes of transport: rail, IWW High EU added-value projects to remove bottlenecks in transport networks, by supporting TEN-T infrastructure on both the core and comprehensive networks All modes of transport Regional mobility, through connecting secondary and tertiary nodes to TEN-T infrastructure Network effect: strong coordination of investments in TEN-T needed Common project pipeline for ESI Funds and CEF, to be included in the Operational Programmes Corridors Work Plans National Transport Master Plans

CEF Transport: Cohesion envelope €11.3 bn transferred from the Cohesion Fund to the CEF Exclusively for transport projects of high EU added value in Member States eligible for the Cohesion Fund National envelopes between 2014 – 2016, with higher co- funding rates Over 1 billion EUR for Hungary Pre-identified projects on the Corridors and other sections of the Core network: rail and inland waterways cross-border missing links, including road (max. 10% of the budget) bottlenecks Horizontal priorities: ERTMS, Motorways of the Sea etc.

How to give grant support to a project Work programme (Annual or Multiannual) EC and INEA: Call for proposals Evaluation (external and internal) Financing decision (general and individualised)

CEF: 2014 calls for proposals (GRANTS) 11 September 2014 – 26 February 2015 The Multi-annual Work Programme (MAP) € 11 billion total, including €4bn from the Cohesion envelope Only for projects pre-identified in Annex I of CEF (Corridors, other sections on the core network, horizontal priorities) The Annual Work Programme (AP) € 930 million Other projects on the core network Comprehensive network Connections with neighbouring countries 11 11

Call 2014 for Cohesion Member States Multi-annual Work Programme 2014 Budget for the 2014 call for proposals: €4 billion 35% of the €11.3bn of the CEF cohesion envelope Funding priorities of the call for proposals: Corridors of the Core Network Other Sections of the Core Network European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) Innovation Safe and Secure Infrastructure Motorways of the Sea (MoS)

CEF 2014 Call for proposals Check INEA website INEA helpdesk: http://inea.ec.europa.eu/en/news__events/events/2014_cef_transport_info_day.htm INEA helpdesk: INEA-CEF-transport-calls-2014@ec.europa.eu http://inea.ec.europa.eu/en/cef/cef_transport/apply_for_funding/cef_transport_call_for_proposals_2014.htm

Innovative Financing – Investment for growth Full eligibility Whole TEN-T network, Core & Comprehensive All modes of transport Projects with identifiable revenue streams or commercial benefits and long-term repayment Motorways with tolls High-Speed Rail Airports, logistic platforms & Ports development Alternative fuelling infrastructure and on-board equipment Traffic Management Systems equipment (e.g. ERTMS) Partnership with financial institutions, such as EIB 14 14

TEN-T policy and macro-regional strategies Synergies and complementarity Support the implementation of the TEN-T policy Transport pillars in the macro-regional strategies Priorities: TEN-T Core Network Corridors Cross-border interconnectivity and interoperability, inter-modality, deployment of new technologies aimed at the decarbonisation of transport and its increased safety and security Macro-regional strategies, in-between the national and EU levels Significant potential to reinforce the implementation of EU transport policy priorities Enhanced coordination among stakeholders
