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
TransportTransport
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)
TransportTransport
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
TransportTransport
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
TransportTransport
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"

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

• Consulting local authorities, civil society, users etc.• MS shall cooperate with Coordinator
TransportTransport
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

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
