The key elements of the TEN-T policy
• Support implementation of Transport White Paper:
•
•
•
•
Dual layer approach based on an objective
methodology: core and comprehensive network
Common deadlines to achieve network
(2030/2050)
Ambitious standards for all infrastructures
Corridors and coordinators for implementation
Transport
Standards and deadlines
• Comprehensive network: 2050
• Mainly basis for specific legal acts (e.g. tunnel
safety directive, TSIs, Single Sky, etc.)
• Core network: 2030
• Road: express roads or motorways, parking areas,
alternative clean fuels
• Rail: ERTMS, electrification, European track gauge
• Rail freight lines: 22.5 t axle load, 740 m train
length, 100 km/h line speed
• Alternative clean fuels for ports, inland ports and
airports
• Possibilities for exemptions by the Commission
under certain conditions
Transport
The implementation tools
• Coordinators and Core Network Corridors
• 9 Core Network Corridors defined until 2020
• Support the implementation of the core network
• Synchronise investments in order to optimise
network benefits
• Multimodal, involving at least 3 Member States
• Flexible governance structures
• Involvement of stakeholders
• Core Network Corridors are aligned with Rail
Freight Corridors
• Coordinators for ERTMS and Motorways of the Sea
