The Corridor studies
Contents of the studies
a) A detailed definition of the alignment of the corridors
A detailed definition of the corridor alignment, carried out as the first major element of the studies, has meant: determining precisely the routes, transport nodes and their access links, TEN-T connections in urban nodes, etc…
b) A market analysis
The analyses have essentially been able to forecast transport trends along the corridors for the different modes until 2030.
c) Identification of critical issues and corridor development objectives
They include, in particular: the lack of cross-border connections; missing links or bottlenecks on other parts of the corridor; absence or insufficient quality of intermodal connections, etc…
d) Project lists
Each corridor study includes a list of projects which have been identified on the basis of the experts' analysis and their cooperation with Member States and infrastructure managers. These lists remain preliminary.

The Commission plans to launch new studies around mid-2015 which, building on the present studies, should deepen a number of issues.
The corridor forum will continue their work in 2015, and working group meetings will also continue to be organised to deal with specific issues.
All this will accompany the implementation of the first set of corridor work plans and consolidate the information basis with a view to updating the work plans in 2016 and 2018.
