CORRIDOR 10 - a sustainable way of integrations
- a high share of revenues of freight transport operators on the European market
- transportation tradition
Opportunities of the Republic of Slovenia to improve railway transportation that should be exploit:
- unification and harmonization of transport systems operations,
- development of new transport technologies
- a further specialization of the industrial production (to increase freight transport)
- moving the production of less complex products into East Asia; Northern Adriatic gains on
influence
- unification of existing infrastructure operations; Slovenian service providers would provide
comprehensive services and not partial logistics services
- further stabilization of the Balkans and the integration of Turkey in the European union will
enable the expansion of transport flows, especially transit on railways
- the development of modern, rapid rail lines on corridors, running through Slovenia
- - increasing of the use of capacity at international airports in Slovenia, capacities of individual
objects within the infrastructure units and intermodal systems (airport-railway-road)
- the use of European funds.
2.2 Financing
The European Commission proposes 31,7 billion Euros, of which 10 billion Euros of the cohesion
funds, which are available only to those countries that are eligible to the cohesion funds. Among them
is also Slovenia. Regardless to the fact, on how much European money and from which headings, the
member states will agree upon; their governments will have to provide their own share from the
national budget, for each project using European money.
The Republic of Slovenia would need:
- approximately 3 billion EUR between the years 2014 and 2020
- approximately 9 billion EUR by 2030.
3. THE EUROPEAN RAILWAY NETWORK
This section of the article describes the following important railway connections/corridors, running
across Europe:
- Transeuropean and Paneuropean network of lines – PANEUROPEAN CORRIDORS
- Priority Projects
- ERMTS Corridors
- International railway corridors for competitive freight transport
- RNE Corridors
- TEN-T Network
3.1 Transeuropean and Paneuropean network of lines
The Transeuropean network of lines was defined at the Paneuropean conferences (Prague 1991,
Crete 1994, Helsinki 1997), with the aim to improve and modernize transport links of the existing EU
member states and member states that joined the EU in 2004.
