PP1_v1.indd 3 20/11/2012 09:29:54 Priority Project 1 Railway axis Berlin-Verona/Milano-Bologna-Napoli-Messina-Palermo Trans-European transport network. Achievement of the Priority projects European Coordinator Pat COX 1. Introduction The over 2000 km long high capacity north-south rail axis between Berlin and Palermo is one of the most significant projects of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T). The centrepiece of this Priority Project 1 is the cross-border section between Munich and Verona, the so-called Brenner Corridor, including the Brenner Base Tunnel and the northern and southern access routes. The Berlin-Palermo rail axis will deliver an important increase in rail transport capacity between northern and southern Europe and can make a significant con- tribution to the EU’s policy goal of achieving modal shift from road to rail. This in its turn can help address some of the key environmental challenges facing communities along the line especially in the ecologically sensitive Alpine regions encompassed by the Brenner Cor- ridor where the quality of the environment is under constant pressure from the volume of road traffic. The strategic significance of this project is underlined by the allocation of almost €1 billion in the 2007-2013 financial perspective for PP1, confirming its status as among the highest priority for the EU’s transport infrastructure policy. Access tunnel Wolf/Steinach In June 2010, the European Commission appointed Pat Cox as the EU Coordinator for this project. From the start of his mandate Mr Cox declared the establishment of concrete financial capacity as a major priority, in particular for the financing of the Brenner Base Tunnel. This goal was reached on 18 April 2011, when Austria and Italy agreed on the total costs of the base tunnel. This official agreement launched the main construction phase of the Brenner Base Tunnel. For the current reporting period, in addition to advancing the Brenner Base Tunnel, the Coordinator focused par- ticular attention on the northern and southern access routes. Progress can be noted on all these fronts for the period under review: • On the Brenner Base Tunnel, preparatory works for the construction of the two main tubes have started. Progress continues on the exploratory tunnel and access tunnels. • On the northern access, the 40 km long Lower Inn Valley line from Kundl to Baumkirchen (Innsbruck) is near completion. The line officially will become operational on 9 December 2012. 4 PP1_v1.indd 4 20/11/2012 09:29:55 On 15 June 2012, the German Minister for Transport, Mr Ramsauer, and the Austrian Minister for Transport, • PP 1 Mrs Bures, signed a bilateral agreement in Rosenheim on the planning of the northern access route Munich- Rosenheim-Kiefersfelden-Kufstein-Kundl. On the basis of this agreement, Germany and Austria jointly will start planning this vital part of the northern access to the Brenner Base Tunnel. • The southern access route between Fortezza and Verona is now also making good progress, in particular on the mission critical construction lot Fortezza-Ponte Gardena. The necessary financial commitments have been made and the planning phase has started. For the next reporting period 2012-2013, the Coordinator will concentrate on securing current EU co-funding in the most efficient way and on preparing and optimising EU funding for the 2014-2020 period. In parallel with the preparation for the future, funding work must also start on enabling a smooth transition from the current Berlin-Palermo Priority Project to the new TEN-T corridor Helsinki-Valetta. Finally, the Coordinator will continue to focus his attention on the progressive identification and development of a comprehensive framework of accompanying policy measures to ensure that the necessary road/rail modal shift can be achieved as the new rail infrastructure comes on stream. 2. State of the Project 2.1. The Brenner Corridor (Munich–Verona) The cross-border section between Munich and Verona, including the northern access route between Munich and Innsbruck, the Brenner Base Tunnel between Innsbruck and Fortezza and the southern access route between Fortez- za and Verona is currently a major bottleneck of the rail connection between Berlin and Palermo. The removal of this bottleneck is crucial for the realisation of the entire project. Moreover, the realisation of the Brenner Corridor will have an effect on other rail networks linking northern and southern Europe. Together with the Gotthard-Monte Ceneri axis in Switzerland and the Lyon-Turin rail connection, the Brenner Corridor will establish a complex of high-capacity rail links. Not only will they deliver a major contri- bution to the completion the Trans-European Transport Network but they will also help achieve the environmental objectives set by the European Union and ensure the modal shift from road to rail so necessary for the future of the ecologically sensitive Alpine region. The Brenner Corridor bottleneck can only be removed if the tunnel and access routes are completed in parallel. It is clear that the added value of the new base tunnel can be optimised only if the new or upgraded access routes can cope with the same traffic capacity. 2.1.1. Brenner Base Tunnel The most important decision for the Brenner Base Tunnel was taken on 18 April 2011 by Austria and Italy when both states agreed on the total cost for the project of €7,460 million (costs per 1 January 20101). This agreement paved the way for main construction works on the base tunnel, the so-called Phase III, to be carried out by the project promoter BBT SE. 1 Austria has added a risk precaution for unidentified risks of approx. €500 million to the total cost of the project. 5 PP1_v1.indd 5 20/11/2012 09:29:56 Priority Project 1 Railway axis Berlin-Verona/Milano-Bologna-Napoli-Messina-Palermo Trans-European transport network. Achievement of the Priority projects Since then the preparatory work for the construction of the two main tunnels has started. The first 160 m have been excavated. On 11 June 2012, the Supervisory Board of BBT SE approved the construction of some preliminary stretches of the main tunnel, namely approximately 1 km of tunnels towards the Periadriatic seam in Mules and mi- nor parts of the tunnels interconnecting the bypass of Innsbruck. These projects will be realised in the forthcoming years. The full construction of the main tunnels will commence in 2016. Due to the impact of the economic and financial crisis, early in 2012 the Austrian government announced a budget- ary adjustment programme for the 2012-2016 period involving savings of approximately €900 million on rail infra- structure projects, including the Brenner Base Tunnel. As a result of the budget consolidation plan finally adopted by the Austrian government, the total flow of investment for the Brenner Base Tunnel will be reduced by approximately €330 million, to be covered by both Austria and Italy. The bulk of the savings will be achieved by shifting activities from the 2012-2016 period to the 2016-2025 period. A smaller part will come from technical measures, such as opti- mised construction methods. Notwithstanding these austerity measures, both the date of completion (2025) and the beginning of operation (2026) were confirmed by the Austrian and Italian governments. In addition, the Chairmen of Austrian railways (ÖBB) and Italian railways (FS) reached agreement in February 2012 confirming the target date of 2026 for the entry into service of the tunnel. On 9 July 2012 the Supervisory Board of BBT SE approved a modified work programme which guarantees the con- tinuation of the construction activities in the coming years. According to this programme, €1,227 million will be invested in the project up to the end of 2015, including €547 million of EU co-funding2. In the light of pressures on public finances in the states concerned, the Coordinator welcomes the on-going political and financial commitment to proceed with the project and the shared determination to complete all works by the deadlines originally agreed. Cross section Brenner Base Tunnel with gradients Tunnels: state of progress Progress continues on the exploratory and access sections of the Brenner Base Tunnel. A short overview is provided below: Mules-Aica (Italy) The excavation of the 1.8 km long lateral access tunnel at Mules was completed in July 2009, earlier than planned. It facilitated the start of the works on the first construction lot of the section between Mules and Brenner, which was completed in April 2010 when excavation had progressed to 430 m. 2 €480 million from the current Multi Annual programme 2007-2013 and €67 million from the previous Multi Annual programmes up to 2006. 6 PP1_v1.indd 6 20/11/2012 09:29:56 PP 1 The first construction lot of the Aica exploratory tunnel (10.5 km) has been completed. The mechanical excavation of the exploratory tunnel in Aica began on 28 April 2008. On 3 November 2010 the tunnel boring machine reached the cavern of Mules and made the breakthrough. Exploratory tunnel Aica Breakthrough in Mules on November 3rd 2010 Periadriatic Seam (Italy) In autumn 2011 excavating operations began on the Periadriatic seam. In this construction lot of 1.3 km in the di- rection of the Brenner Pass the fault zone will be excavated by blasting. At the same time, several preparatory works will be carried out, including the caverns for the assembly of the tunnel boring machine required for future excava- tion and the connection between the exploratory tunnel and the future main tubes will be made.

At the beginning of the 16th century, Emperor Maximilian I. made the city at the centre of the north-south and east-west axis his residence and by doing so created the conditions for a thriving economic and cultural life. Tradespeople appreciated the ideal location of Innsbruck and used Brenner as the lowest Alpine pass. Connections to important transport routes established the basis for Innsbruck’s rise as a centre of business, trade, conventions and tourism. The historical names of the city, »Oenipons« and »Anspruggen« make it clear that bridges are a part of the past and future of the Tyrolean capital. The city’s people and business owners knew how to use the favourable topographical and scenic conditions to their advantage and make Innsbruck a flourishing centre. Milestones such as the opening of the university, the connection to the railroad, and the opening of the airport have supported this development.
