Migration
is a challenge for all parties involved
Transport
EU strategy = imposing a
minimum pace along corridors and
improving the conditions
Underlying idea = ERTMS will not help RU making
business if locomotives are still stuck at the borders
for other reasons : no good path allocation, no
harmonised train length, no harmonised operational
rules, impossibility to reach terminals, bottlenecks
etc.

ERTMS Corridors

Corridors and coordinators for implementation
• European Coordinators to chair the corridors
• European Coordinators will support Member States
and project promoters to reach the best benefit from
all investments
• During the implementation: focus will be given on
cross-border projects, interoperability and intermodality
• work plan for each corridor will be drawn up
• Corridor Forum and working groups
• Core Network Corridors and Rail Freight Corridors
have been realigned

Funding and financing - CEF
Budget for transport: €26.2 billion for TEN-T
•€14.9bn available to all Member States
•€11.3bn to be transferred from the Cohesion Fund, To be
allocated exclusively to projects in Cohesion Fund eligible
Member States
To be spent via: Grants and Innovative financial instruments
80 – 85 % of available budget for pre-identified projects
•4 horizontal priorities (including ERTMS)
•9 core network corridors
•and other important cross-border and bottleneck sections
15 – 20 % for other projects of the core and comprehensive
networks and for financial instruments
Transport
ERTMS deployment under the CEF
Co-funding rates
up to 50% for studies for ERTMS
up to 50% for land-based and for on-board components
CEF support to ERTMS to be focused on Core
Network and Corridors
Cohesion Fund and ERDF to support deployment on
comprehensive network
For on-board equipment, focus on
•Innovative financial instruments
•Deployment of Baseline 3 and upgrade towards B3
•Corridors, in parallel with ground deployment
Transport
Financial instruments under the CEF –
How?
•Implementation by financial partners (EIB) in
accordance with Financial Regulation
•Possible combination of innovative financial
instruments and grants to optimise the impact of
financing
•Possibility for MS (directly or through Structural
Funds), other EU funds and/or investors to top up
the CEF financial instruments
Transport
ERTMS Differentiated Track Access
Charges
• Article 32 of Directive 2012/34/EU: the infrastructure
charges of the ERTMS corridors have to be differentiated to
give incentives to equip trains with ERTMS.
• Support study launched for the his impact assessment in
December 2013. Consultation ongoing, incl. stakeholders
hearing
• Ideas:
1.
The infrastructure manager is financed by the government when it
provides the rebate to equipped trains.
2.
Combination of a bonus-malus system. Discounts provided by the
infrastructure manager to the railway undertaking with equipped
trains could be financed by malus inflicted on undertakings with nonequipped rolling stock.
3.
Only malus for non-equipped rolling stock and use of additional
revenue to finance the equipment of rolling stock.

Priorities for 2014









Stronger deployment coordination and monitoring;
addressing delays;
focusing on interoperability and cross-border issues;
discipline is applied for the management of ERTMS
specifications;
discipline and transparency are applied to demonstrate
compliance with the specifications (to facilitate the
verification and authorisation processes);
preparing the ERTMS deployment on core network corridors;
The 2014 report of the ERTMS coordinator will in effect be
the 2030 ERTMS roadmap;
CEF call 2014;
Working on the innovative financing instruments;
Impact assessment and draft measure on ERTMS diff. TAC.
