Transport forecast Model, Update the infrastructure projects Update scenarios (experts group) Deploy TRACECA Project Prioritising Methodology, TRACECA campus (website and e-learning platform) Project funded by European Union DG DEVCO 13 Project funded by European Union DG DEVCO 14 Road Map for Stream lined Project development Prepare (2) Porting TEN-T to TRACECA - Adopt (1) Prioritize (3) INVESTMENT PROJECT SOFT MEASURE Mature(4) Finance (5) TEN-T NETWORK Methodology EU released a methodology for planning the future of Trans-European Transport Networks (TEN-T) Features a dual layer network structure, comprehensive Network core Let Network s look at the Planning Methodology Project funded by European Union DG DEVCO 15 Project funded by European Union DG DEVCO 16 4

5 1- Comprehensive Network basic layer of the TEN-T components for all transport modes connecting points corresponding traffic information and management systems 2- Core Network The Core Network a subset of the comprehensive multi-modal network overlaying it, to represent the strategically most important nodes and links of the trans-european transport network. transport modes Connection points relevant traffic management systems. Project funded by European Union DG DEVCO 17 Project funded by European Union DG DEVCO 18 Core Network: Core Network: Inland waterways and ports EU Member States Railways (freight), ports and rail-road terminals (RRT) EU Member States Project funded by European Union DG DEVCO 19 Project funded by European Union DG DEVCO 20 5

6 Core Network: TRACECA Core / Comprehensive Network 1. Update TRACECA corridor to reflect progress in its implementation and adjust it where necessary to changes in national planning 2. Add selected and well-defined missing links and nodes 3. ensure a homogeneous network planning, a sound modal balance and the interconnection of national networks 4. Add a network component consisting of multimodal platforms providing free access to logistics operator.

7 Legal Approximation Criteria of Determination The scope of legislation is defined by Modes of transport railway, road, maritime and Inland waterways Safety in transport infrastructure and operation Public Private Partnership/Concession Simplification and integration of countries frontiers procedures Methodology for Legal Approximation Aims At: Detailed gap analysis on a country by country basis Periodical regulatory impact assessment of the present situation Improved knowledge of the TRACECA countries legal experts Project funded by European Union DG DEVCO 25 Project funded by European Union DG DEVCO 26 What is Legal Approximation? A process of accession to and implementation of international conventions and agreements Closer to the EU transport legislation (transport acquis) taking under account the individual legal systems Targeting integrated and interoperable transport systems Harmonization of legislation of TRACECA member-states What is Legal Approximation NOT? It is NOT: An exact replication of the acquis Fixed and It never stops developing! Project funded by European Union DG DEVCO 27 Project funded by European Union DG DEVCO 28 7

8 3-Stage Methodology Stage One: Identification of the applicable national legislation Stage Two: Screening for inconsistency within the legal measure Stage Three: Development of draft national act Legal Approximation Main TOOL IDEA II will use Questionnaire for identification of the applicable national legislation on the basis of the main scope and principles of the international agreement, object of the study Tables of concordance of legislative provisions completed, based on two different, but mutually supportive, approaches Project funded by European Union DG DEVCO 29 Project funded by European Union DG DEVCO 30 Investment Policy Objectives Funding of prioritized Projects Strengthening of Cooperation with IFIs Improving TRACECAs Visibility on Financial Markets Funding of Projects Prioritize Investment Projects Produce Pre-Feasibility studies Discuss Investment Projects with potential Investors POOLING BANKS / INVESTORS Project funded by European Union DG DEVCO 31 Project funded by European Union DG DEVCO 32 8
