Hearing of European Coordinators Catherine Trautmann and Karel Vinck Effectively integrating urban nodes in TEN-T corridors, boosting innovation and interoperability Hearing of European Coordinators Catherine Trautmann and Karel Vinck Brussels, 4 May 2017

Role and challenges of urban nodes Effectively integrating urban nodes and boosting innovation Role and challenges of urban nodes Urban nodes are connecting points linking different transport modes and types of traffic (long-distance and urban/regional transport ) They are essential for the effectiveness of the European transport corridors as well as for regional development and social cohesion Urban logistics operations are part of national or international supply chains Congestions costs nearly 100 billion Euro, or 1% of the EU's GDP, annually and is to a great extent located in urban areas Urban nodes also face challenges relating to air and noise pollution, accidents, increasing demands and often protests from the citizens

Potential of urban nodes Effectively integrating urban nodes and boosting innovation Potential of urban nodes Urban nodes offer a great potential for economic development and spill- over effects They usually provide excellent conditions for establishing value-added logistics services and multimodal platforms In fighting air pollution and congestion, urban nodes can act as a catalyst for modal shift Good cooperation of cities and surrounding regions is needed to make traffic flows in urban nodes as efficient as they can be Exchange of best practice can support the further development of innovative solutions for sustainable transport in urban nodes

Innovation challenges and opportunities Effectively integrating urban nodes and boosting innovation Innovation challenges and opportunities Digitalisation and deployment of alternative fuels create challenges and opportunities for an interoperable and sustainable TEN-T TEN-T and the Corridors could become catalysts and a new "space for innovation", presenting a unique opportunity to promote cooperation amongst all stakeholders: industry, Member States, local and regional authorities, users etc. The Corridors can serve to pilot innovative solutions and facilitate large- scale deployment, overcoming the so-called "valley of death" by strongly interconnecting R&I and deployment Lessons learned and experiences from the TEN-T field need to be fed back into the R&I world, to refine concepts, technologies and solutions for a better performing trans-European network

Aims of the Coordinators' issue papers on innovation and urban nodes: Effectively integrating urban nodes and boosting innovation Aims of the Coordinators' issue papers on innovation and urban nodes: Make full use of innovation, digitalisation and decarbonisation potential, as enablers of a fully multimodal and sustainable TEN-T Integrate TEN-T in the respective urban realities and planning, contribute to the Urban Agenda for the EU (Pact of Amsterdam) Seamless passenger mobility, efficient urban logistics connected to TEN-T Urban nodes as platforms for innovation deployment, synergies between energy, transport and digital Pave the way for flagship projects on the Corridors to be developed in 2017 and implemented within 3-4 years

INTEROPERABILITY. ERTMS is the most efficient tool to reach it. Our ultimate objective is INTEROPERABILITY. ERTMS is the most efficient tool to reach it.

ERTMS is more than a signalling system Key enabler for interoperability and competitiveness of rail DECARBONISATION Interoperability => modal shift e.g. Capacity increase of 5-10% that will increase long distance freight traffic and short- and medium-distance passenger traffic DIGITALISATION Backbone of digitalised rail network and basis for autonomous driving New communication system for ERTMS defined by 2019 GLOBALISATION EU deployment provides base for EU suppliers to sell worldwide e.g. Saudi-Arabia, Australia, Turkey PEOPLE-FOCUSSED SOLUTIONS Benchmark system for rail safety e.g. commitment of BE to implement ERTMS nationwide

Interoperability objectives of Breakthrough programme 2015 (first Work Plan) Stable and mature set of specifications Realistic European Deployment Plan (EDP) for ERTMS (two-step approach) standardised and complete, B3 on-board equipment should be able to run everywhere in Europe; An interoperable and compliant infrastructure where this standardised on-board unit (OBU) can run National requirements reduced to a minimum A clear and transparent regulatory framework (e.g. national requirements should be notified) Harmonisation of operational and authorisation rules

State of play of Breakthrough programme implementation (second Work Plan) Stable ERTMS specifications (B3 R2) were adopted in June 2016 Reviewed EDP has been accepted and committed by Member States Key commitments of MoU 2016 Standardised OBU Track-side approval by ERA (reach an interoperable and compliant infrastructure ) Agreement with European supplier industry

Action plan for ERTMS To implement the Breakthrough programme and the MoU 2016 during period 2016 – 2023 Standardised OBU compliant infrastructure Focus on Corridors (incl. Rail Freight Corridors) Cross-border sections

Second Work Plan of the NSB Corridor Progress on the North Sea-Baltic Corridor Second Work Plan of the NSB Corridor Updated analysis of the characteristics of the Corridor Update of the project list (total investment projected: 80 bn EUR) New chapter on capacity issues Bottlenecks in urban nodes Outlook on funding and financing sources and on "wider elements" (innovation, decarbonisation) to be further analysed

Progress on the North Sea-Baltic Corridor Funding and financing CEF calls of 2014 and 2015 : €2.3 billion EU co-funding allocated to 19 NSB projects, as well as €293 million EU grants to 18 projects also relevant for other Corridors. The cohesion Member States on the Corridor – Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia –earmarked roughly €9 billion from the ESI Funds for the development of the TEN-T core network until 2023, from which a significant part will benefit projects on the NSB Corridor Several EFSI projects already signed or approved (Tallinn airport upgrade, Blankenburg Tunnel Rotterdam, Lithuanian Airports, Riga Transport Company)

Meetings and missions / collaborations Progress on the North Sea-Baltic Corridor Meetings and missions / collaborations Since the last hearing in May 2015: 36 missions and 5 Corridor Forum meetings, which provided crucial input to the update of the Corridor Work Plan Joint Working group with North Sea-Mediterranean Corridor on Ports and Inland Waterways in Liège on 3 May 2017 Joint Working group with Baltic-Adriatic Corridor on Regions and Urban nodes planned in September 2017 Several meetings with the "Friends of Rail Baltica" in the EP Regional collaboration projects and cooperation with industry contributes to a lively economic corridor development

Rail Baltica project implementation Progress on the North Sea-Baltic Corridor – main missing link Rail Baltica Rail Baltica project implementation 1.22 billion CEF co-funding allocated to Rail Baltica so far (EE-LV-LT-PL)
