453 Pan-European Corridors See “Helsinki Corridors” PHARE PHARE is a key source of EU grant funding for CEECs. The (francophone) acronym PHARE meant “Poland and Hungary - Assistance for Economic Reconstruction.” The acronym became common usage and was kept even after the program was extended to include other CEECs. http://europa.eu.int/comm/enlargement/pas/phare/ SAPARD Pre-accession instrument for agricultural and rural development aid to the candidate countries http://europa.eu.int/comm/agriculture/ external/enlarge/back/index_en.htm SDS Sustainable Development Strategy of the EU, published in 2001. http://europa.eu.int/comm/environment/eussd/ Subsidarity “The subsidiarity principle is intended to ensure that decisions are taken as closely as possible to the citizen and that constant checks are made as to whether action at Community level is justified in the light of the possibilities available at national, regional or local level. Specifically, it is the principle whereby the Union does not take action (except in the areas which fall within its exclusive competence) unless it is more effective than action taken at national, regional or local level. It is closely bound up with the principles of proportionality and necessity, which require that any action by the Union should not go beyond what is necessary to achieve the objectives of the Treaty.” EU Glossary TENs Trans-European Networks. Usually the generic term for interconnected networks and services available on a pan-European basis, in this study, “TENs” is frequently used as a short-hand for the EU’s Trans-European Transport Networks (TEN-T). http://www.europarl.eu.int/factsheets/4_6_1_en.htm TEU TINA ToA Treaty of the European Union (1992) a.k.a. Maastricht Treaty Transport Infrastructure Needs Assessment for the CEE candidate countries. The TINA exercise was completed in 1999. “The Treaty of Amsterdam was adopted at the Amsterdam European Council on 16 and 17 June 1997 and signed on 2 October 1997 by the Foreign Ministers of the fifteen Member States. It entered into force on 1 May 1999 after ratification by all the Member States in accordance with their respective constitutional requirements. From the legal point of view, the Treaty amends certain provisions of the EU Treaty, the Treaties establishing the European Communities and certain related acts. It does not replace the other Treaties; rather, it stands alongside them.” EU Glossary

The European umbrella organization for NGOs working in the field of transport and the environment. http://www.t-e.nu UN-ECE United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. Set up in 1947, UNECE has 55 member states. UNECE is one of five regional commissions of the United Nations and its activities include policy analysis, development of conventions, regulations and standards, and technical assistance. http://www.unece.org/ White Paper World Bank WSSD Zl “Documents containing proposals for Community action in a specific area. In some cases they follow a Green Paper published to launch a consultation process at European level. Examples include the White Papers on the completion of the internal market, on growth, competitiveness and employment and the approximation of the laws of the associated states of Central and Eastern Europe in areas of relevance to the internal market. When a White Paper has been favourably received by the Council, it can become the action programme for the Union in the area concerned.” EU Glossary One of the world’s largest sources of development assistance, the World Bank “works in more than 100 developing economies with the primary focus of helping the poorest people and the poorest countries.” http://www.worldbank.org UN World Summit on Sustainable Development. The WSSD took place in Johannesburg, South Africa, from August 26 to September 4, 2002. http://www.johannesburgsummit.org Polish Zloty, national currency
