Remaining critical issues
Nevertheless, as depicted in the above image, the most critical bottlenecks which are not
expected to be solved by 2030 14 concern the upgrading of the railway sections
Gyekenyes- Pusztaszabolcs and Boba – Szekesfehervar to EU standards. In addition, this
estimation allows understanding if the selected projects contribute significantly to reach
the targets set by the Regulation for 2030, or if additional projects are still needed to
meet the infrastructure requirements defined under the Regulation.
14 It should be noted that some projects with a planned end date close to 2030 have a low
maturity level and also unsecure financing, which could lead to delays in the project, meaning
that the KPIs presented might have lower compliance rates when compared to the figures
presented in the following tables.
