2. 2 The 2011 "White Paper": A vision for the European transport system of 2050 and a policy agenda for 2020 2 The overall objectives: Reducing CO 2 emissions from transport by 60 % by 2050 while meeting increasing mobility needs Establishing a Single European Transport Area Promoting measures in four areas: Internal Market Infrastructure Innovation International dimension

3. 3 A tight carbon budget for the transport sector. Transport accounts for about one fourth of GHG emissions: 60% comes from passenger transport, one quarter is urban, less than one quarter is inter-continental and over half is medium-distance. In October 2009, the European Council showed support for the objective of reducing GHG emissions in the EU by 80 to 95% by 2050 compared to 1990 levels. This corresponds to - 60% CO 2 emissions in transport. Source: PRIMES-TREMOVE and TREMOVE Source: PRIMES, NTUA (E3MLab)

4. Mediterranean Corridor – Core TEN-T

5. 5 Completion of the internal market – Single European Transport Area. Eliminate all residual barriers between modes and national systems. Establish a truly internal market for rail freight services. 4 th railway package. Pursue the gradual elimination of remaining restrictions on cabotage in road transport while strengthening law enforcement. Weights and dimensions for trucks. Review European ports policy. Blue Belt for short sea shipping. Internalise external costs

6. 6 Planning and funding of transport infrastructure. TEN-T Guidelines. A dual layer approach for transport infrastructure: core and comprehensive network. A framework to use coherently money in TEN-T, cohesion and structural funds. Corridors’ approach carrying freight and passengers with high efficiency and low emissions, making better use of existing infrastructure, completing missing links, alleviating bottlenecks and using more multimodal transport services supported by advanced information and communication technologies.

7. 7 Key priorities: Interconnect modes of transport: – Railways corridors to Core Ports – High speed lines to airports. – Multimodal logistic platforms with rail – Cutting the red tape and ensuring information flows Deploy homogeneous standards (UIC Gauge, B1 loading gauge ("Galibo de carga"), 750-m trains, electrification, ERTMS) Joint management, EU Coordination

8. 8 Finding the money …. 500 billion Euros for the completion of the core network until 2030 – 50% (250) billion Euros until 2020. Member States and other public and private sources. A share of Cohesion Policy (No more Cohesion Fund for Spain). New opportunity: 13.2 (+10) b€ Connecting Europe Facility (CEF). EIB loans and Financial engineering tools (guarantee funds, project bonds)

9. 9 The TEN-T Corridors Atlantic and Mediterranean (ERTSM Corridor D)

10. 10 The corridors: TEN Core, rail freight, ERTMS The core network corridors (CNC) are tools to facilitate the coordinated implementation of the core network. They are multimodal. A work plan for each corridor will be drawn up; a consultative Corridor Forum representing all modes, Member States, regions will be established. The service oriented Rail Freight corridors set up by Regulation 913/2010 and the ERTMS corridors will be kept and merged as well as their existing structures. The Mediterranean corridor will integrate rail freight corridor 6 and ERTMS corridor D. Important missing links are the cross-border "Lyon-Turin", Montpellier-Perpignan, Tarragona-Vandellós and interoperability of the line towards Valencia…Cartagena together with the multimodal connection with the ports

11. 11 EURO-METRO: linking TEN-T core cities and helping business and people move freely and smoothly across EU

12. 12 Urban mobility: from the 2009 action plan to the 2013 mobility package. Urban mobility package (2 nd half 2013) Incorporate urban logistics and freight transport in local policies and Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans Zero-emission urban logistics in major urban centres by 2030 Establishing a framework for urban road user charging and access restriction zones. Improve the links between long-distance, inter-urban and urban freight transport (TEN-T). Interoperable and multimodal information and ticketing. Better management and monitoring of transport flows
