TEN-T Policy Review:Network Development

.1996 TEN Guidelines for EU 15 (14 priority projects).2004 guidelines revision - EU27 (30 PPs).2007 new Financing regulation 2007-2013.2007 Communication on the extension of the major TENs axes to neighbouring countries.2009 Green paper.2010 Revision of the TEN guidelines


TEN-T Policy Review:Green Paper

• New political circumstances call for new approaches: climatechange objectives, an enlarged Union (from 15 to 27 MemberStates), Europe’s new global role

• TEN-T to support logistics and co-modal services for passengers and freight, meeting mobility needs whilecontaining CO2 emissions

• TEN-T to better connect Europe to its neigbours and the world

• The long-term approach, inherent in major infrastructure projects, needs to be complemented by greater flexibility and responsiveness to evolving service needs

• More attention to rail connections to ports, inter-modalterminals, links between long-distance and urban transport etc.



Early assessment of the public consultation (300 replies)

. most in favour of maintaining the comprehensive network. relative majority in favour of a « core network » as a layer on top of the comprehensive network. question on how to ensure continuity with the past and also for a greater degree of flexibility. methodology for « core network » requires in-depth analysis. coordinators are strongly supported. necessity to ensure adequate financing.

Not a speed-way, but…

A sustainable transport system


The Way Forward

1) Macro Strategy for the River Danube Basin

Global development putting the river at the centre of the region encompassing all aspects of a sustainable growth: environmental respect, social and economical growth through an efficient and effective transport network.


The Way Forward

2) Comodality

Inland Waterways Transport can operate as single transport mode, however it is most effective if used in combination with the other modes of transport.

In order to achieve an efficient and effective integration into the regional transport network, it is required that ports are modernisedand capable to provide appropriate comodal facilities versus road and rail.


The Way Forward

3) Fleet Modernisation

Infrastructures availability and reliability are a precondition for the development of inland navigation. Fleet modernisation, through innovation, in terms of pollution reduction and efficiency in operations ( i.e. River information Services) are not less important for inland navigation and represents its best assets.


Modern tools for an efficient RIS


In Summary

Inland Waterways Transport (IWT) is as old as the history of mankind

Sustainable IWT is a recentachievement

It entails

• cooperation between all stakeholders, public and private

• intelligent management of natural resources

• modernisation and innovation

• integration of networks


Let us learn from the past…
