Rhine-Alpine Corridor Presentation of the corridor work plan by the European Coordinator Mr Pawel Wojciechowski
Hearing in the European Parliament,
Brussels, 13 October 2015

2. Corridor characteristics (1)
5 Member States and Switzerland
13 urban nodes
11 airports
8 seaports
22 inland ports
20 Rail-Road Terminals

3. Corridor characteristics (2)
The freight modal split (cross-border traffic in 2010)
54% - inland waterways
34% - road
12% - rail

4. Corridor process in
4 Corridor Forum meetings with gradually increasing number of stakeholders
2 working group meetings (IWW/Ports, Regions)
Several bilateral meetings and missions along the corridor by the former and the new European Coordinator
Corridor meeting during the TEN-T Days in Riga in June : presentation of the corridor work plan to a wider

5. Main outputs so far
Corridor study with detailed analysis of the corridor, including a multi-modal transport market study
TENtec maps illustrating compliance of corridor infrastructure with TEN-T standards
List of projects planned to be implemented along the corridor by 2030
...which led to:
A corridor work plan presented by the European Coordinator and unanimously approved by all MS in May 2015

Improving compliance with the TEN-T requirements, mostly for rail (including ERTMS) and inland waterways;
Implementing the large rail cross-border projects between NL-DE, DE-CH and CH-IT;
Promote innovative solutions (RIS, ITS, deployment of LNG infrastructure;
Reduce external effects of transport, in particular the rail noise pollution;
Maintain existing infrastructure in good condition, in particular road and inland waterways;
Investing in ERTMS along the corridor.

7. High investment needs
175 projects (including 30 in Switzerland) have been identified which would be needed for the development of the Rhine-Alpine Corridor until 2030
Estimated total volume of investments of around 60 billion EUR
Examples of key projects:
Karlsruhe-Basel: >6 billion EUR
Zevenaar-Emmerich-Oberhausen: >2 billion EUR
Chiasso-Milano: >1.4 billion EUR

8. Project list
Corridors shall facilitate the coordinated implementation of the Core Network
List of CEF in Annex I, part I, with pre-identified projects
List of projects resulting from the work on the Corridors is obviously longer: more detailed sectioning, studies and works
The long list has a focus up till 2030, date of completion of the Core Network
The CEF Annex runs up till 2020
There is no direct link between the two lists: being in the long list is not a guarantee for financial support and vice-versa

9. Recommended CEF funding per corridor

10. Rhine – Alpine CEF funding per section/mode

11. Thank you for your attention
