Corridor process in 2014 - 2015 • 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 2015: presentation of the corridor work plan to a wider Transport

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

Corridor work plan: agreed priorities Amsterdam 1.

Mainz Mannheim/ Ludwigshafen Mertert 3. Promote innovative solutions (RIS, ITS, deployment of LNG infrastructure; 5. Maintain existing infrastructure in good condition, in particular road and inland waterways; IWW Nijmegen Vlissingen Zeebrugge 2. Implementing the large rail cross-border projects between NL-DE, DE-CH and CH-IT; 4. Reduce external effects of transport, in particular the rail noise pollution; Railways Utrecht Karlsruhe Strasbourg Mulhouse Aarau / Basel Rekingen Birrfeld Zürich Bern Chiasso Novara Milano 6. Investing in ERTMS along the corridor. Genova Transport

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: o Karlsruhe-Basel: >6 billion EUR o Zevenaar-Emmerich-Oberhausen: >2 billion EUR o Chiasso-Milano: >1. 4 billion EUR Transport

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