Transport ERTMS on the EU core network by 2015, 2020, 2030 strategic (pragmatic) approach UIC conference 2014 I. Vandoorne

Transport It's time to deploy ! Specifications are there

Transport Deployment Safety incident/ accident Obsolescence of the legacy systems Stable specs and strong change control mngt Law Congested route SERA National efficiency funding financing incentives …… Compliant equipment Reduction of costs (OPEX, LCC,…)

Transport Migration is a challenge for all parties involved

Transport Underlying idea = ERTMS will not help RU making business if locomotives are still stuck at the borders for other reasons : no good path allocation, no harmonised train length, no harmonised operational rules, impossibility to reach terminals, bottlenecks etc. EU strategy = imposing a minimum pace along corridors and improving the conditions

ERTMS Corridors Rail Freight Corridors Regulation 913/2010 from a technological viewto a business view

Transport To a multimodal view: the 9 core network corridors (Schematic indicative map as provided for under Art 44(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013)

Transport Implementation of Trans-European Network for Transport (TEN-T) Policy framework: TEN-T Regulation Financial framework: Connecting Europe Facility (2014–2020)

Transport TEN – basic requirements for rail Comprehensive network (by 2050) ERTMS Electrification Core network (by 2030) full electrification freight lines: at least 22.5 t axle load, 100 km/h line speed and train length of 740 m; full deployment of ERTMS; nominal track gauge for new railway lines: 1435 mm

Transport ERTMS Deployment Deadlines EDP EDP TEN TEN

Transport European Coordinators to chair the corridors European Coordinators will support Member States and project promoters to reach the best benefit from all investments During the implementation: focus will be given on cross-border projects, interoperability and inter- modality work plan for each corridor will be drawn up Corridor Forum and working groups Core Network Corridors and Rail Freight Corridors have been realigned Corridors and coordinators for implementation

Transport Funding and financing - CEF Budget for transport: €26.2 billion for TEN-T €14.9bn available to all Member States €11.3bn to be transferred from the Cohesion Fund, To be allocated exclusively to projects in Cohesion Fund eligible Member States To be spent via: Grants and Innovative financial instruments 80 – 85 % of available budget for pre-identified projects 4 horizontal priorities (including ERTMS) 9 core network corridors and other important cross-border and bottleneck sections 15 – 20 % for other projects of the core and comprehensive networks and for financial instruments

Transport ERTMS deployment under the CEF Co-funding rates up to 50% for studies for ERTMS up to 50% for land-based and for on-board components CEF support to ERTMS to be focused on Core Network and Corridors Cohesion Fund and ERDF to support deployment on comprehensive network For on-board equipment, focus on Innovative financial instruments Deployment of Baseline 3 and upgrade towards B3 Corridors, in parallel with ground deployment

Transport Financial instruments under the CEF – How? Implementation by financial partners (EIB) in accordance with Financial Regulation Possible combination of innovative financial instruments and grants to optimise the impact of financing Possibility for MS (directly or through Structural Funds), other EU funds and/or investors to top up the CEF financial instruments

Transport ERTMS Differentiated Track Access Charges Article 32 of Directive 2012/34/EU: the infrastructure charges of the ERTMS corridors have to be differentiated to give incentives to equip trains with ERTMS. Support study launched for the his impact assessment in December Consultation ongoing, incl. stakeholders hearing Ideas: 1.The infrastructure manager is financed by the government when it provides the rebate to equipped trains. 2.Combination of a bonus-malus system. Discounts provided by the infrastructure manager to the railway undertaking with equipped trains could be financed by malus inflicted on undertakings with non- equipped rolling stock. 3.Only malus for non-equipped rolling stock and use of additional revenue to finance the equipment of rolling stock.

Transport Priorities for 2014  Stronger deployment coordination and monitoring;  addressing delays;  focusing on interoperability and cross-border issues;  discipline is applied for the management of ERTMS specifications;  discipline and transparency are applied to demonstrate compliance with the specifications (to facilitate the verification and authorisation processes);  preparing the ERTMS deployment on core network corridors; The 2014 report of the ERTMS coordinator will in effect be the 2030 ERTMS roadmap;  CEF call 2014;  Working on the innovative financing instruments;  Impact assessment and draft measure on ERTMS diff. TAC.
