TRANSPORT INNOVATION
The EU Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) 2014-2020
A new EU budget period: time for a change
Europe 2020 strategy
One of 7 Flagship initiatives is “Innovation Union”
Europe is facing many challenges:
•create job opportunities for all, especially the young
•get the economy back on track
•make companies more competitive in the global market
•solve the challenges of an ageing population
•secure resources like food and fuel
•fight global warming
•improve smart and green transport
As main economic driver of EU economic growth is innovation,
the EU needs to improve its performance in innovation.

INFRASTRUCTURE: NEW TEN-T POLICY
WHY
to establish a complete and integrated trans-European transport network (TEN-T),
covering all Member States and regions
providing the basis for balanced development of all transport modes
to facilitate more sustainable, more efficient and multiple choice transport
maximizing the added value of the network for Europe.
HOW
TEN-T development at 2 levels.
1.Comprehensive network: a large, basic network, the relevant existing and
planned infrastructure in the Member States.
2.Core network: strategically most important parts of TEN-T: 9 major multimodal
corridors, 2 North-South, 3 East West and 4 diagonal corridors.
– To transform East West connections
– To remove bottlenecks
– To upgrade infrastructure
– To streamline cross border transport operations (cargo and pax).
– To improve connections between different modes of transport
– To contribute to EU climate change objectives.

EU BRUSSELS FUNDING FOR TRANSPORT
Smart, green and integrated transport, € 6 339 million funding
2014.
Programme for transport innovation under Horizon2020
First calls open 11 December 2013 to close 18 (1st stage) and 27 March
Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) is the key financial instrument for financing the
TEN-T policy objectives, focused on the core transport network. € 26 billion budget
TEN-T programme, related to infrastructure and pilots. Funding for:
•Studies – to prepare project implementation to overcome early stage project difficulties,
a.o. preparatory, feasibility, evaluation and validation studies, comprehensive technical or
environmental studies and geological explorations, project development activities and
preparing the financial package;
•Works – meaning purchase, supply and installing components, systems and services,
construction and installation works and project launch. If applicable, pilot projects
•Last call under MFF 2007-2013 open mid-December 2013 to close mid-March 2014
•First call under MFF 2014-2020 expected Q2 2014.
Marco Polo successor programme (under construction)
•Funding for operations and deployment of innovative and sustainable freight transport
services, where small scale ancillary infrastructure and investments in innovative
equipment would be integral part of the projects.

H2020: TRANSPORT
WHY
to achieve a European transport system that is resource-efficient, climate- and
environmentally-friendly, safe and seamless for the benefit of all citizens, the economy
and society.
HOW: 4 broad lines:
1.
Resource efficient transport that respects the environment
Aim: improving natural resource efficiency and reducing fossil fuel dependence.
2.
Better mobility, less congestion, more safety and security
Aim: innovative solutions for seamless, inclusive, affordable, safe, secure and
robust transport systems.
3.
Global leadership for the European transport industry
Aim: reinforce competitiveness and performance of European transport
manufacturing industries and related services (a.o. logistic processes) and retain areas of
European leadership (e.g. aeronautics).
4.
Socio-economic and behavioral research and preparatory activities for
policy making
Aim: support improved policy making to promote innovation and meet
challenges raised by transport and related societal needs.

TEN-T CASES
2009-2011 Bottleneck elimination north-south artery
Motorway A2 in Maastricht (priority corridor)
Construction of a tunnel for the A2/E25 motorway running through the centre of Maastricht. A 400 m
section of the overall tunnel will be realised within this action after the preparatory works are
completed. These include the setting up the building site, deviation of the technical infrastructure,
demolishment of parts of housing estates and construction of a temporary road for the A2. It builds on
a predecessor project funded by the TEN-T programme which studied the feasibility and planning of this
project. The project received over € 20 million of TEN-T funding (10% of eligible costs).
2012 Intermodal Terminal Melnik (nodal point on priority
corridor)
Works to improve the inland port of Melnik as nodal point on EU Railway 22 Athens-Sofia-BudapestWien-Praha-Nürnberg/Dresden and on the river Elbe. To stimulate combined transport, the
transhipment capability is improved (to 200,000 TEU annually, ability to receive 750 m cargo trains),
rail tracks extended to facilitate rail traffic in the port and entrance and positioning area for trucks
expanded. The project receives € 826,000 of TEN-T funding (20% of eligible costs for this project
phase).
