Info sheets of proposals NOT recommended for funding...... 125 Introduction Since 1995, the European Union has the possibility of granting financial aid to projects of common interest included in the EU Guidelines for the development of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T). The TEN Regulation1 of the European Parliament and of the Council, adopted in 2007, enables the Commission to contribute more efficiently and effectively to the financing of the highest priorities of the TEN-T. Under the 2007-2013 financing framework, the entire €8,013 million budget has been allocated to date. The allocated funds have been contributing to the gradual implementation of this network.

Under the Multi-annual programme (80 to 85% of the available budget) the TEN Regulation provides for a strong concentration of available funds on the TEN-T Priority Projects approved in 2004 and on projects in the field of traffic management, and promotes in particular the enhanced support of cross-border sections along the Priority Projects. Amongst the supported projects are actions of key European added value such as cross-border sections and key bottlenecks of the TEN-T as well as horizontal priorities. In addition the assistance of European Co-ordinators on certain Priority Projects, help to overcome difficulties through ‘non-financial’ action.

Under the Annual work programme (15 to 20% of the available budget) the TEN Regulation provides the financing of a large number of smaller projects covering the different modes of transport. They projects are also having significant effects on the achievement of the EU’s objectives in this area, notably through project pipeline preparation (feasibility studies, impact assessment and design studies). Much has thus already been achieved through the joint funding of important TEN-T projects by Member States and the EU.

On this basis the Commission, in coordination with the TEN-T Executive Agency (TEN-T EA), published on 28 Novem- ber 2012 an Annual Call for proposals2 targeting four specific priorities including the need to promote public-private partnerships through TEN-T funds. This call is based on the TEN Regulation as well as the specific Commission Imple- menting Decision on an Annual Work Programme for grants in the field of the TEN-T network for 20123, which was adopted through the Comitology procedure in November 2012.

Under these calls, a total of 168 project proposals were received, of which 164 fulfilled the formal eligibility criteria. In evaluating these proposals, the Commission, in collaboration with the TEN-T Executive Agency, strictly applied the criteria set out in the TEN Regulation and in the 2012 Annual Work Programme. The involvement of external experts in the evaluation of all eligible proposals enhanced the objectivity and technical quality of the overall selection process.

The Commission, with the support of the TEN-T Executive Agency, has completed the evaluation and selection process of proposals on the basis of the TEN-T 2012 Annual Work Programme. It intends to adopt a decision that sets out the results of this process, i.e. a decision that, in accordance with Article 9 of the TEN Regulation, establishes the projects to be selected under the 2012 Annual Work Programme and the amounts of financial aid to be granted to these projects.

The Commission is confident that the funding proposal outlined on the following pages responds, in the best possible way, to key transport and TEN-T policy objectives, and that it contributes to supporting EU action in the field of the Trans-European Transport Network.

The first part of this brochure sets the legal framework and political context of the 2012 Annual Call. The second part presents the key elements of the proposals received under the call. It contains information on the selection process and its outcome as well as information about the individual proposals including maps for the proposals recommended for funding. Finally, the brochure also includes lists of proposals recommended and not recommended for funding.

1 Regulation (EC) 680/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2007, laying down general rules for the granting of EU financial aid in the field of the trans-European transport and energy networks as amended by Regulation 670/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 July 2012 2 EN Official Journal of the European Union C 368/17, 28 November 2012 3 Commission Decision C(2012) 1579 as amended by Commission Decision C(2012) 6902 and Commission Decision C(2012) 8510

4 1. The legal framework and political context of the 2012 Annual Call for Proposals In coherence with Regulation (EC) No 680/2007 of the European Parliament and the Council laying down general rules for the granting of EU financial aid in the field of Trans-European Networks (the ‘TEN Regulation’), the Commis- sion Decision C(2012) 1579 as amended by Commission Decision C(2012) 6902 and Commission Decision C(2012) 8510 of 23 November 2012, established the 2012 Annual Work Programme for granting financial aid in the field of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T). This Annual Work Programme led to the publication on 28 Novem- ber 2012 of a Call for proposals in the framework of TEN-T (published in the Official Journal of the European Union C 368/17 on 28 November 2012).

The amended Work Programme includes a total amount of €250 million for the allocation of grants under the following priorities:

• Priority 1: The acceleration/facilitation of the implementation of TEN-T projects — with an indicative budget of €150 million • Priority 2: Measures to promote innovation and new technologies for transport infrastructure and facilities contributing to decarbonisation or the reduction of the external costs in general - with an indicative budget of €40 million • Priority 3: Support to Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) and innovative financial instruments - with an indicative budget of €25 million • Priority 4: Support to the long term implementation of the TEN-T network, in particular development of corridors that shall enable a coordinated implementation of the network - with an indicative budget of €35 million

The objectives of each of the four priorities were defined in the amended 2012 Annual Work Programme:

Priority 1. The acceleration/facilitation of the implementation of TEN-T projects This priority addresses activities alleviating bottlenecks and/or promoting cross-border connectivity and network effects at European level, with the aim to create a mature project pipeline for 2014 and beyond, notably through:

• studies concerning the development of TEN-T projects with the aim of creating a mature project pipeline for 2014 and beyond, to be implemented inter alia under the Connecting Europe Facility. In particular under this priority TEN-T support will be granted to preparatory studies that will accelerate the implementation of projects for all modes (e.g. environmental studies/design studies versus feasibility studies). • works for mature projects to be completed by 2015, where the TEN-T funding would fill a financing gap and where the EU added value is clearly demonstrated. Under this sub-priority, only rail, road, ports and inland waterways projects or combinations thereof, will be supported.

Priority 2. Measures to promote innovation and new technologies for transport infrastructure and facilities contributing to decarbonisation or the reduction of the external costs in general This priority supports studies addressing technologies that reduce external costs, including mitigation and adaption to climate change in the areas of freight and/or passenger transport. These technologies need to demonstrate that they have the highest potential for rapid deployment across the TEN-T network, thereby creating the necessary critical mass. A specific objective is the development of the necessary TEN-T infrastructure and facilities that will support the use of alternative fuels and propulsion replacing fossil fuels, including, electric batteries (charging & swapping), hydrogen, CNG, LNG, including LNG bunkering vessels and biofuels as well as any combination thereof. Facilities may include also emission reduction technologies and energy storage equipment installed in the vehicles. Priority will be given to studies that include pilot deployment of the technologies and/or of enabling infrastructure and facilities, i.e. incorporating a real-life trial (rather than a demo).

Priority 3. Support to Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) and innovative financial instruments The aim of this priority is to attract more private funding for the deployment of strategic TEN-T transport infrastructure projects. Mobilising the participation of the private sector in the financing of the TEN-T should be greatly enhanced through EU support for the assessment and preparation of projects for a PPP procurement. In that respect, the TEN-T programme will support studies aimed at and leading to the promotion of private sector involvement, particularly in the development and financing of Union-supported transport infrastructure projects.

5 Priority 4. Support to the long term implementation of the TEN-T network, in particular development of corridors that shall enable a coordinated implementation of the network Actions to be supported under this priority area are expected to develop a foresight approach concerning the future TEN-T network and the modalities of its implementation . In line with the White Paper “a corridor approach to infrastructure investment, overcoming cross-border difficulties, appears promising and in line with the establishment of an efficient core network”. Consistently, actions to be supported under this priority will be studies and will need to embed multimodal aspects, investment options and efficient managerial structures that can address the needs and the complexity of cross-border challenges in a multi-modal context. They should stimulate the deployment of the “Green Corridor” concept, as introduced in the “Freight Logistics Action Plan”. They should address both the dimension of freight and passengers transport, and they should cover the dimension of nodes (urban as well as transfer points between transport modes).

6 2. Key elements of proposals received under the 2012 Annual Call for Proposals 1. General Overview 168 proposals were received in response to the 2012 Annual Call for proposals. 164 of these proposals were eligible and addressed the EU and transport priorities set out in the amended Annual Work Programme 2012.

2. Budgetary features The total amount requested by applicants for the 2012 Annual Call in the eligible proposals was €523,941,284.567, while the total indicative budget for the call was €250 million for all four priorities.

As evidenced above, Priorities 1 and 2 were largely oversubscribed.

3. The selection of proposals The selection process was carried out in three steps:

1. An external evaluation of proposals was organised by the TEN-T Executive Agency. The technical appraisal of each proposal against four blocks of award criteria (relevance, maturity, impact and quality) was made individually by at least three external experts. These experts then discussed each proposal and agreed on a consensus recommendation for or against funding and on a score for each of the four blocks of award criteria. This evaluation by external experts, which did not take into consideration the budgetary constraints, led to the recommendation of 90 proposals representing a total TEN-T requested funding of €303,754,484 which was 1.21 times more than the available budget (€250 million). 2. An appraisal in relation to the EU transport policy priorities and the objectives and restrictions set by the 2012 Annual Call was undertaken internally, on the basis of the policy-related aspects mentioned in the ‘final selection process’ section of the call texts. An Internal Evaluation Panel, composed of representatives of DG MOVE, the TEN-T Executive Agency, DG REGIO and DG ENV reviewed each proposal individually, to cut any costs and/or activities that would not be eligible or not recommended for funding. It also considered each proposal in view of the TEN-T objectives and priorities and its compliance with EU environmental law. 3. Finally, the Evaluation Committee composed of DG MOVE and TEN-T EA Directors confirmed the recommendation of the Internal Evaluation Panel.

Overall, the external and internal evaluation process resulted in recommending 83 proposals representing a total TEN-T funding of €247,218,500 (see Figure 1). Therefore, out of the indicative budget of €250 million, €2,781,500 will remain unused within this Annual Call and will be transferred to the 2012 Multi-annual call for proposals. Only proposals receiving a positive recommendation from the external evaluation were recommended for funding.

Proposals recommended for funding offer a wide coverage in all priorities areas as described in the Work Programme and the call text. In terms of transport modes, there is a clear predominance of rail projects while maritime transport and multimodality also received a high attention by applicants. Support to projects with PPP potential is expected to give a further boost in this area. Finally, the corridor concept will be further developed through the support to some targeted projects.

ithin the context of the TEN-T Mediterranean Corridor Global Project, this Action focuses on freight transport between WMadrid and Lyon (CLEMA) to enable a coordinated implementation of the network. It includes studies on the organisation and optimal implementation of the TEN-T network, taking into account long term perspectives, environmental aspects and associated needs, as well as studies that promote environmental sustainability, resource efficiency and low-carbon transport within an integrated transport concept. This should stimulate the deployment of the Green Corridor concept, as introduced in the Freight Logistics Action Plan.

Evaluation remarks

The proposed Action is very relevant to the call for proposals as it supports the implementation of the Madrid-Lyon section of the Algeciras-Budapest-Ukrainian border corridor with a multimodal approach. It is very mature and has received necessary support from involved stakeholders. The Action will provide a decision making tool to support structural and investment decisions and some of the outputs can be used as best practice by the rest of the corridor or other corridors. The proposal is of good quality.

Evaluation remarks Evaluation remarks

The relevance of the proposed Action is weak as it fails to The relevance of the proposed Action is very low as it address any of the call priorities. The maturity is low as only broadly complies with the requirements of the call. it is not ready to start. The potential impact has not been Whilst the proposal is technically mature its impact is sufficiently demonstrated and the quality is also weak. likely to be very limited since it does not address the multimodal transport system in an integrated way and its focus is national rather than cross-border. The quality of the proposed Action is weak as it lacks clarity in what it is trying to achieve.
