1. Introduction This is the second INEA report aimed at presenting the contribution of CEF Transport funded Actions to the development of the Baltic-Adriatic Core Network Corridor (BAC) and implementation of the BAC Work Plan under the leadership of Ms Anne Jensen, the European Coordinator. It presents what has already been achieved thanks to CEF funding and what still remains to be done under the current CEF programme.

The Baltic-Adriatic Corridor is one of the most important trans-European railway and road axes. This 1,800 km long corridor runs from north to south, i.e. from Poland through the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria to Italy and Slovenia, connecting core Baltic ports in Poland with core ports of the Adriatic Sea in Italy and Slovenia. It runs through the industrialised areas of Southern Poland, Vienna and Bratislava, the Eastern Alpine region and Northern Italy, linking major transport nodes through key rail, road, maritime and air transport connections. Except Austria and Italy, all EU Member States located on the corridor are Cohesion countries. It includes around 4,200 km of rail network and 3,600 km of road network as well as 13 urban nodes and airports, 8 maritime ports and 24 rail-road terminals. The corridor also crosses, or runs in parallel, with five other corridors: North-Sea Baltic in Poland, Orient-East Med and Rhine-Danube in the Czech Republic, Austria and Slovakia, Mediterranean in Italy and Slovenia, and Scandinavian-Mediterranean in Italy.

According to the corridor Work Plan, by implementing the Baltic-Adriatic Corridor, new traffic flows between Baltic and Adriatic ports and their hinterland are developed and the ports, as entry and exit points of the corridor are boosted. In order to reach the full potential and develop a truly multimodal and seamless corridor, the existing bottlenecks along the corridor, missing links in the rail network and last mile connections to ports need to be addressed. In response to these needs, the European Coordinator has set out a list of specific priorities for the Baltic-Adriatic Corridor, which focus on: developing rail and road cross-border connections, removing missing links at the Alpine crossings in Austria, improving infrastructure quality and standards focusing on Cohesion countries, improving last mile and hinterland connections of the ports, interconnections in urban nodes and deployment of ERTMS. The CEF programme makes a significant contribution to the implementation of the corridor Work Plan along the above priorities, which will be demonstrated in this report.

The Baltic-Adriatic Corridor has been very successful in securing CEF funds, especially considering a very high oversubscription in CEF calls for proposals. As a result of five CEF calls organised between 2014 and 2018, over €2.4 billion of CEF funding for a total investment of over €4.9 billion has been allocated to 100 Actions located on the corridor. CEF funding concentrates on railway Actions, with a contribution of €1.5 billion to date, representing 61% of total CEF funding allocated to the corridor. 30 railway Actions supported by CEF are implemented in all countries on the corridor, focusing on the improvement of existing infrastructure, particularly in Cohesion countries, as well as ERTMS deployment. Other modes of transport are also supported by CEF, namely the maritime sector, which receives €678 million of CEF funding for 29 Actions, and the road sector that benefits from €264 million of CEF funding for 41 Actions. In the maritime sector, 17 Actions aim to improve port infrastructure and/or hinterland/maritime access, whereas 8 Actions deploy alternative fuels. In the road sector, 4 Actions address cross-border sections, whereas 27 Actions deploy alternative fuels and 6 Actions focus on ITS.

This report presents the current state of play of implementation of CEF Actions, which are vital for the achievement of the above goals. It also tackles the main challenges and opportunities going forward.

2. Action portfolio: State of play1 CEF Transport has so far allocated grants worth €21.1 billion with a total investment in the European economy of €45 billion. The current portfolio of Actions in the Baltic-Adriatic Corridor comprises 100 grant agreements allocating €2.4 billion of actual CEF Transport Funding (corresponding to 13% of total number of CEF Transport Actions and 11% of total actual CEF Transport funding). So far, one grant agreement has been terminated and 10 Actions have been closed. The remaining 89 Actions are still ongoing. In total, 50 grant agreements have been amended so far for various reasons. 2.1. Operational Implementation

For the Baltic-Adriatic Corridor, the Core Network Corridor priority (under Funding Objective 1)2 represents 84% of actual CEF Transport funding. Other priorities, such as Innovation (under Funding Objective 2)3 and Multimodality (under Funding Objective 3)4 also contribute to the development of the Corridor. Due to its location, most of the funding for the Baltic-Adriatic portfolio is coming from the Cohesion envelope (78%). The portfolio is dominated by national Actions, which absorb around 96% of the grants allocated to this corridor. 88% of the actual CEF Transport funding is linked with works Actions, 8% with mixed Actions and the remaining 4% of Actions cover studies. Most of the funding in this Corridor is allocated to sections on the Core TEN-T network (€1.75 billion), while nodes of the network receive €690 million. See the Statistical Annex for more details. The rail transport mode receives most of the actual funding (63%) while the highest number of Actions is under the road transport mode. Figure 1: Statistics by transport mode

2.1.1. Maritime There are eight core maritime ports in operation along the Baltic-Adriatic Corridor: 4 Baltic ports in Poland: Gdańsk, Gdynia, Szczecin and Świnoujście, and 4 Adriatic ports, 3 in Italy: Trieste, Venice and Ravenna, and Koper in Slovenia. All ports are connected to the road and railway network in line with TEN-T standards. In order to develop the full potential of the seaports, one of the priorities of the corridor Work Plan relates to the improvement of last mile connections outside and inside the ports and development of hinterland connections of ports, focusing on rail. In line with the above priorities ports accessibility is addressed by many CEF Actions, as described below. In total, the maritime portfolio of the Baltic-Adriatic Corridor is composed of 29 Actions, including 24 Actions covering works, or studies with works, and 5 Actions funding only studies, receiving in total €678.3 million of CEF Transport funding. All core ports receive CEF grants, while the following three ports have the largest number of Actions: Gdańsk (7), Świnoujście (5) and Venice (5). CEF maritime Actions focus on basic port infrastructure (Gdańsk, Koper, Świnoujście and Trieste), hinterland rail access (Gdańsk, Gdynia, Koper, Świnoujście, Szczecin and Trieste), hinterland road access (Gdańsk, Koper and Świnoujście), maritime access (Gdańsk, Ravenna, Świnoujście and Venice) and preparation for deployment of alternative fuels, mainly LNG (Gdańsk, Świnoujście and Venice).

As mentioned above, the highest number of CEF Actions is related to the Port of Gdańsk (€252.1 million of CEF funding). Five Actions are part of the same Global Project to develop the port by 2027. One Action, which ended in 2018 and covered studies to obtain environmental and administrative authorisations for future rail and road infrastructure works, is currently followed by the works Action. In two other Actions works are underway to improve the multimodal road and railway network in the outer port and expand and modernise the internal port infrastructure to make it more accessible from waterside and adapt it to larger ships. Another Action will expand and develop a 'Northern quay' at the peninsular breakwater point. In addition to the above 5 Actions, €108.5 million of CEF funding contributes to the improvement of rail access to the port and €1.1 million to the small-scale LNG reloading in Terminal in Gdańsk and bunkering services.

It can be noted that 6 Actions are funded through CEF Blending Call, which shows the sector’s potential to mobilise financial instruments. Out of the six Actions, 4 are in Italy and 2 in Poland. 3 Actions address port infrastructure and 3 Actions are related to LNG. Of the 29 maritime Actions, so far 3 multinational Actions have been closed. One Action concerned studies on e-freight implementation, the other studies on using of alternative fuels, and the third covered studies on implementation of fresh food corridors. Moreover, one Polish Action was also closed, which addressed preparatory studies for upgrade of port of Gdańsk.

Works and mixed CEF Actions in the core ports on the corridor are shown on the map in section 2.1.2. below.

2.1.2. Rail The Baltic-Adriatic Corridor includes 4,227 km of 1,435 mm standard gauge railway infrastructure. The railway infrastructure along the corridor is already continuous and operational except for two sections in Austria (Koralmbahn line section Wettmannstätten – Grafenstein within the wider section Graz – Klagenfurt and Semmering Base Tunnel Gloggnitz – Mürzzuschlag), which are one of the corridor Work Plan priorities. Other priorities concern the removal of the main bottlenecks

(particularly in terms of line speed and train length standards), focusing on the most critical cross- border connections, as well as ERTMS deployment. 24 rail-road terminals are currently in operation at the core nodes of the Baltic-Adriatic Corridor and they are all interconnected to their respective national rail (and road) networks. 8 terminals have 740 metres train length accessibility and 18 have electrified train terminal accessibility. As it will be described below, CEF Actions will improve train length accessibility to a number of terminals on the corridor, in accordance with the Work Plan priorities. See below map showing works and mixed CEF Actions on the core rail network along the corridor (ERTMS Actions not included).

In total the rail portfolio of the Baltic Adriatic Corridor is composed of 30 Actions, receiving €1.5 billion of CEF Transport funding, which represents 61% of the total CEF Transport funding allocated to the corridor. 24 Actions cover works or works with studies and 6 Actions cover only studies. The vast majority of CEF Transport funding is allocated to Cohesion countries to improve compliance with the technical standards. The portfolio can be divided into five main groups of Actions: Rail infrastructure (17 Actions), ERTMS (5 Actions), Rail-road terminals (5 Actions), Nodes of the Core Network (2) and Interoperability (1 Action addressing implementation of RFC5). Actions on the Baltic-Adriatic Corridor are expected to improve 450 km of freight lines and equip 797 km of railway lines with ERTMS. The main rail indicators are presented in the chart below. Actions belonging to this transport mode are also expected to address bottlenecks at 6 cross-border sections. All rail Actions are ongoing, except for one Italian Action, representing Nodes of the Core Network group, which has already been successfully completed. Thanks to the Action the design of the railway connection with the Venice airport has been prepared. Construction works are expected to start in 2021 (not part of the Action’s scope). As a result of CEF Transport funding in Rail actions, a number of Km of railway lines is expected to be improved, in detail: Figure 2: Improved railway lines (number of km)

Km of railway adapted to the European 6 nominal gauge standard

Km of freight lines improved 450

770 out of the total 797 km of ERTMS deployment concern first deployment, the remaining 27 km concern upgrades. 5 Rail infrastructure

Rail (traditional) infrastructure portfolio of the Baltic-Adriatic Corridor consists of 17 Actions funded ‘Pre-identified projects on the Core Network corridors’ call priority, and each Action addresses one or more priorities of the Work Plan.

5 ERTMS first deployment means equipping a railway line section, which was not equipped with the system before.

The largest number of Actions is located on the Polish part of the corridor, where 7 Actions receive around €893 million of CEF Transport funding to improve its rail infrastructure by the modernisation of the national corridor railway links and addressing the main bottlenecks, in line with the Corridor Work Plan priorities. Specifically, 290 km of freight lines will be improved and 118 km of tracks will be electrified. Furthermore, the Actions will increase safety (mainly by removing level crossings and modernising/constructing bridges), increase line speed (both for passengers and freight) and ensure compliance with axle load and train length requirements. All Actions are ongoing, as described below, while it is worth noting that construction works on the railway line Warszawa Włochy - Grodzisk Mazowiecki as well as on the Warsaw ring railway covered by two separate Actions are already almost complete. Three Actions, receiving €695 million from CEF programme, are located on the E59 railway line, one of the major railway axis in Poland and part of the pre-identified section Wrocław - Poznań - Szczecin/Świnoujście. Overall, the Actions aim at removal of bottlenecks, improvement of line’s parameters, and enhancing safety and security. The first Action covers construction works on the Szczecin - Poznań section aims to address a 119 km long bottleneck, increase capacity and reduce travel time. Construction works are ongoing along the whole section. The second Action covers construction works on the Wrocław - Poznań section in a total length of 71 km to increase line speed and axle load. Construction works are well underway, the majority of the Action has already been completed and all track works are expected to be finished by the end of 2020. The third Action, funded through CEF blending call, covers construction works on the 75 km long Wronki - Słonice section to improve the technical condition of infrastructure, remove three bottlenecks, and meet TEN-T standards, leading to considerable reduction of travel time. Construction works are ready to start as all works contracts have already been signed. Two Actions address another major railway axis in Poland – the E65 railway line, located on Katowice - Ostrava - Brno - Wien & Katowice - Žilina - Bratislava – Wien and Warszawa – Katowice pre-identified section. Specifically, preparatory studies for the Katowice - Zebrzydowice - PL/CZ state border section, which are partly followed up by the already ongoing modernisation works on the 18 km long section, address the Work Plan priority concerning the rail cross-border section between Poland and the Czech Republic. Three important Actions, receiving in total €91 million of CEF funding, are implemented on the Czech side of Baltic-Adriatic Corridor, on the pre-identified section Katowice-Ostrava-Brno-Wien. One Action covers preparatory studies for the upgrade of the 64 km long section of the Brno–Přerov railway line to address a bottleneck in terms of capacity, speed and interoperability. The second Action covers construction works aiming at upgrading the Přerov railway junction, which represents a major bottleneck due to its inadequate technical parameters and deteriorated condition. The third Action, funded through CEF blending call, address the 11 km long cross-border section with Poland, between Dětmarovice – Petrovice u Karviné – PL border. All Actions are still at early stage of implementation. Five Slovenian Actions, receiving over €270 million of CEF funding, contribute to the overall development of the corridor by improving the main infrastructure parameters. This includes three Actions addressing development of the new second railway track on the Divača – Koper section to improve its capacity, safety, reliability and shorten travel times. The first Action was completed in June 2019 and covered bottleneck rehabilitation in the area of Bivje. Two other Actions are ongoing and address studies and parts of construction works on the new second track. The second one, covering project documentation, construction of access roads and structures for bridging Glinščica

Valley, is advancing well despite initial delays, studies are almost complete and works are in progress. The third one, addressing construction of seven tunnels through CEF blending call, is still at an early stage of implementation. The remaining two rail Actions in Slovenia concern the upgrade of Poljčane - Slovenska Bistrica railway line, which is already largely completed, and the Zidani Most - Celje railway line, which is well advanced. As regards the Work Plan priority related to the completion of the two missing links at the Alpine crossings in Austria, CEF Transport funding supports one Austrian Action of the construction works on the Wettmannstätten - St. Andrä section (including parts of the Koralm tunnel), as part of the high speed Koralm railway line connecting Graz and Klagenfurt. The Action, which is largely completed, addresses an important bottleneck on the corridor to speed up rail traffic.

Construction works in Koralm tunnel (Source: INEA) Another Action in Austria, supported through CEF blending call, covers the upgrade and electrification of the 38 km long railway line from Wien Stadlau / Ganserndorf to the Slovakian Border near Marchegg, addressing one of critical rail cross-border connections identified in the Work Plan. Overall, CEF provides €123 million to rail Actions in Austria. ERTMS The ERTMS portfolio on the Baltic-Adriatic Corridor consists of 5 Actions. In addition, 3 Actions included in the rail infrastructure group above also include ERTMS component. The Actions cover trackside deployment/upgrade of ERTMS on 797 km of railway lines in total along the corridor to

10 address interoperability bottlenecks, contributing to the priority of the Work Plan concerning ERTMS deployment. In terms of the amount of CEF funding the largest Action concerns the deployment of ETCS Level 2, Baseline 3 on the Czech part of the corridor, along the 204 km long Petrovice u Karviné – Ostrava – Přerov – Břeclav rail section, as part of Katowice - Ostrava - Brno - Wien and Katowice - Žilina – Bratislava – Wien pre-identified section. This Czech Action is largely completed. Next Action covers the deployment of ETCS Level 2, Baseline 2 on the important national railway line E59 Poznań – Wrocław in Poland in a total length of 168 km, as part of the pre-identified section Wroclaw - Poznan - Szczecin/Świnoujście. On the Italian part of the corridor two Actions will fit 367 km of railway lines with ETCS Level 2, Baseline 3. In Slovenia, ETCS Level 1, Baseline 3 is deployed on the important railway section Pragersko – Maribor – Šentilj – State border with Austria in a total length of 31 km, as part of Graz – Maribor – Pragersko pre-identified section. All the above Actions are well advanced. Rail-road terminals Rail-road terminals portfolio of the Baltic Adriatic Corridor is composed of 5 Actions, receiving over €12 million in CEF Transport funding and they will, amongst other things, connect/improve connection of the terminals to the railway network in accordance with the Work Plan priorities, whereas 1 Action is focused on deployment of LNG. Two Italian Actions are supporting the development of the multimodal logistic platform of Padova. The first one aims at enhancing the efficiency of the new container terminal by investing in gantry cranes and upgrading the rail infrastructure to accommodate 750 metre-long trains. The Action was physically completed e.g. works on rail and road accessibility were carried out. The second one is focused on ICT development and ancillary works at the terminal and it is also advancing well. Another Italian Action concerns the development of a set of activities in three multimodal logistic platforms located in Veneto Region (Verona RRT, Padua RRT and Port of Venice). The Czech Action is located at the multimodal terminal of Ostrava/Paskov. It is aimed at upgrading the rail infrastructure, namely to allow 750 metre-long trains at the terminal, and it is largely completed.

Rail Freight Corridor 5

The Baltic-Adriatic Rail Freight Corridor (RFC5) links some of the most important Eastern and Southern areas of Europe, providing rail freight capacity according to the market demand. CEF funding is provided to a multinational Action, involving rail infrastructure managers on the corridor, to elaborate studies aimed at enhancing the attractiveness of the RFC5 offer and improving rail long distance freight transport flows along the corridor. Specifically, Long train and Last mile studies have identified the main issues affecting transport operations along the corridor and potential ways forward. 2.1.3. Road The Baltic-Adriatic Corridor includes 3,600 km of road infrastructure. One of the main priorities of the corridor Work Plan is the removal of the main bottlenecks on the corridor in terms of technical standards, by improving the most critical cross-border road connections, in particular between Poland-Slovakia, and Czech Republic-Austria.

In total, the road portfolio of the Baltic Adriatic Corridor is composed of 41 Actions, receiving €264.3 million of CEF Transport funding. The portfolio can be divided into three main groups of Actions: road infrastructure, including safe and secure infrastructure (6 Actions), innovation, mainly the deployment of alternative fuels (29 Actions), and ITS (6 Actions). See below map showing works and mixed CEF Actions on the core road network along the corridor (road infrastructure only).

Road infrastructure

Actions included in this group address the two critical road cross-border sections, identified in the Work Plan: Katowice – Žilina (between Poland and Slovakia) and Brno – Wien (between the Czech Republic and Austria). Over €74 million of CEF funding contributes to the Katowice – Žilina section thanks to the Slovak Action addressing the critical bottleneck of Motorway D3 Čadca, between Bukov – Svrčinovec due to daytime congestion in the town of Čadca. The Action is progressing well and the 5.67 km section of the motorway is expected to be opened in December 2020. As regards the Brno – Wien section, on the Austrian side, there are two Actions receiving in total €22.4 million of CEF funding for the extension of the A5 North motorway. Both Actions were already completed and closed. The first Action concerned studies and works on the Schrick-Poysbrunn sub-section, including 4 bypasses causing a bottleneck. The 25 km long section was opened to the traffic already in December 2017. The second Action covered preparatory studies for the construction of further section between Poysbrunn and the national border. Based on these studies the construction works have already been completed (not covered by the CEF Action). On the Czech side, CEF funding is provided for preparatory studies for the construction of Motorway D52, Bavory – state border CZ/AT section. Furthermore, thanks to another CEF Action, 76 parking spots have been built or improved in one parking area in Austria. Finally, one Action was already completed in 2016 and CEF funding of €3.5 million contributed to improving safety and security of the infrastructure by the elimination of railway level crossings and construction of road viaducts related to the important national railway line in Poland i.e. E-65. Innovation (alternative fuels) The Innovation portfolio has grown significantly since the previous report and includes 29 Actions which are expected to install 1,235 supply points for alternative fuel for road transport, of which 1,188 Electricity, 45 LNG and CNG and 3 H2, as presented in the chart below. Over one third of the innovation portfolio (11 Actions) has been funded through CEF Blending Call, which shows the sector’s potential to mobilise financial instruments. Figure 3: Number of supply points for alternative fuel for road transport

Electric mobility represents the largest share of Innovation Actions on the corridor. 17 Actions cover studies with pilot deployment of multi-standard high power stations (more than 22kW, usually 50kW) and/or high power chargers (150 kW-350 kW) for electric vehicles. Most countries on the corridor, particularly Slovakia and the Czech Republic, are taking a more active approach in addressing the Alternative Fuels Directive by investing in electric mobility. In Poland, it is gaining its momentum: one Action will deploy electric charging stations between Gdynia and Warsaw, while another Action will build charging infrastructure for electric vehicles to decarbonize public transport in Warsaw. So far, two Actions have been closed. The first one is a Slovak Action, which contributed to fostering electric vehicles use across Europe in line with the European alternative fuels implementation strategy. It deployed 10 multi-standard fast charging stations for electric vehicles in Slovakia and 75 in Poland, three of them including battery storage to cover peak demand. The second one is a multinational Action, which contributed to the deployment of charging infrastructure in the Czech Republic and Slovakia making electric vehicle driving a viable alternative to vehicles with internal combustion engines. Thanks to four studies carried out on market needs, network planning, IT solutions and market integration, the Action has drawn recommendations on how to develop electromobility in cohesion countries. Furthermore, the deployment of a network of 29 charging points, 15 in Slovakia and 14 in the Czech Republic, has enabled the cross-border electromobility along the corridor. Overall, the above-mentioned significant investments with CEF funding support in the electric mobility sector contribute to the development of interoperable electromobility network and enhancement of market cooperation, thus facilitating movement of electric vehicles along the corridor. Deployment of LCNG as an alternative fuel is also gaining its momentum even though the market is not yet mature and so far 9 Actions along the corridor are being supported by CEF, whereas one Polish Action was terminated. As regards the development of new alternative fuels (beside LCNG), two CEF Actions invest in hydrogen. Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) The ITS portfolio on the corridor includes 6 Actions. It covers 3 multinational Actions of ITS deployment (2 Actions as part of CROCODILE and 1 Action as part of URSA) and 3 national Actions of ITS deployment (2 in Slovenia and 1 in Poland), addressing one or more ITS Directive priority Actions. In terms of the amount of CEF funding, the most prominent is the Polish Action - National Road Traffic Management System on the TEN-T network - Phase I, which receives CEF grant of €116 million, representing 96% of CEF funding allocated to ITS Actions on the corridor. Two Actions (CROCODILE 2 and URSA) were already completed and contributed to ITS deployment in 5 countries on the corridor i.e. in Austria, the Czech Republic, Italy, Poland and Slovenia, facilitating cross-border cooperation in traffic management. All other Actions are still ongoing.

2.2. Financial Progress

CEF Transport funding for actions in the Baltic Adriatic Corridor was initially6 €2.6 billion, corresponding to €5.2 billion in eligible costs. Following amendments and closures, the actual funding going to this Corridor is €2.4 billion, corresponding to €4.9 billion in eligible costs. It is

6 i.e. Grant Agreement signature stage.

important to note that the major part of the reductions is re-injected in the 2019 CEF Transport calls.

When taking into account the latest information available7, the costs necessary to implement CEF Transport actions are estimated at €5.5 billion8. The below figures give an overview of the respective financial progress (in terms of estimated costs) of the overall Corridor portfolio. By the end of 2019 the financial progress reached was 35%.

Figure 4: Estimated budget implementation (€ million)

Estimated costs per year Estimated costs (cumulative) 6,000 6,000 5,476 (100%)

Estimated costs per year Estimated costs (cumulative)

Whilst the above financial progress charts are based on cost estimates provided by the beneficiaries (updated annually in action status reports), the budgetary absorption of the allocated funding can also be analysed by assessing the payments made and interim/final costs claims processed. In fact, out of the €2.4 billion of CEF Transport funding:

• 43% or €1 billion has already been paid (including pre-financing) • 12% or €298.7 million of contribution has already been accepted (following the introduction of interim/final cost claims by beneficiaries).

3. Challenges affecting the implementation of Actions The vast majority of CEF Actions on the Baltic-Adriatic Corridor are still ongoing. Only 10 Actions have already been closed (i.e. final report submitted and final payment processed), 21 Actions have ended and 39 Actions are expected to end in 2020. Overall, the Actions are making good progress (only one Action has been terminated so far) but a number of challenges have been encountered. Implementation delays, mainly related to procurement, land ownership issues, and

7 i.e. Action Status Reports (ASRS) and received but not yet approved final payment claims. 8 Higher estimated costs with respect to the initial or actual eligible costs are typically due to cost overruns reported in the ASRs.

16 design/permitting procedures, are the main factor, but other issues of technical nature (e.g. shortage of construction materials, unexpected archaeological findings) or financial nature (e.g. changes in financial structure, cost overruns) are also present.

Rail

Indeed, as regards the largest portfolio i.e. rail Actions, delays are the main issue. So far, as a result of implementation delays 6 Actions had to be extended, on average by 15 months. Further requests to extend other rail Actions are still expected. CEF contribution have been reduced in 10 Actions by €168 million in total, mainly due to procurement savings.

• Procurement delays

One of the reasons for implementation delays are procurement issues related to complex preparation of tender documentation, for example due to changes in the national procurement law, and lengthy tender procedures, namely resulting from appeals from bidders.

• Environmental and permitting procedures

Another important issue relates to complex and lengthy environmental and permitting procedures, mainly to obtain the necessary EIA decisions and building permits, without which construction works cannot start.

• Financial issues (e.g. budget changes)

Some Actions required budget revisions, leading to subsequent reductions of CEF contribution, following completion of tendering procedures, whereby actual contracts were of lower value than initially estimated. In other cases, changing market conditions led to cost overruns due to higher works contracts than planned, which required additional financing from state budgets.

• Other issues (e.g. technical, legal)

Technical complexity of some Actions, for example related to construction of bridges or tunnels, or ERTMS deployment have also caused some delays. Other issues leading to delays included shortage of construction materials during works or unexpected archaeological findings during implementation. Finally, legal aspects were another delaying factor whereby implementation of certain projects was subject to national referendums.

It should be noted that some countries have made substantial efforts to address the above issues by adopting multiannual investment plans to securing financing for rail investments e.g. in case of cost overruns; simplification of environmental legislation and procedures to reduce time of preparation of environmental documentation; simplification of public procurement to accelerate tender procedures e.g. standardisation of tenders, changes to public procurement law to use cost revision clauses.

Road

The main issue affecting road infrastructure Actions relates to the complexity of environmental and permitting procedures e.g. large number of appeals from external stakeholders (concerned

17 authorities and general public). Furthermore, some delays have been reported by CEF road Actions due to unexpected geological conditions and adverse meteorological conditions. Overall, 3 road infrastructure Actions had to be extended by 1 year. As regards the road innovation portfolio, certain Actions have suffered delays up to 1.5 year. More specifically, in the electromobility sector these delays were due permitting, procurement and land ownership issues, while in the LCNG and hydrogen sector the lengthy permitting procedures were the main issue. Procurement issues were the main source of delays in the ITS portfolio.

Maritime

As regards maritime Actions the issues delaying implementation are similar to those mentioned above and include mainly procurement delays, cost overruns resulting from procurement process, pending administrative procedures to obtain necessary permits and approvals, as well as land ownership issues and some technical problems. 10 Actions have been delayed so far, ranging from 6 to 24 months. 6 Actions had its CEF contribution reduced, in total by €13 million.

In summary, the issues affecting implementation of CEF Action on the Baltic-Adriatic Corridor are similar to those identified in the previous report and the main problems relate to procurement and permitting procedures. Due to above issues some amendments of CEF Action Grant Agreements were necessary, mainly to extend the Action’s duration (35 amendments), but also in some cases to reduce the Action’s CEF grant (17 amendments).

4. Conclusion and Outlook A significant amount of funds has been allocated from the Connecting Europe Facility to the Baltic- Adriatic Corridor. Since the start of the CEF programme in 2014, via five CEF-Transport calls, over €2.4 billion of CEF grants have been allocated to 100 Actions located on the corridor. The CEF Actions portfolio makes a significant contribution to the implementation of the Baltic-Adriatic Work Plan and its main priorities. It helps to develop a reinforced network in Central Europe, strengthening the infrastructure for efficient, safe and high-quality multimodal transport for both goods and passengers. The vast majority of CEF Actions on the corridor are still ongoing, therefore full results will only be known in the future. Despite some challenges affecting implementation, overall the Actions are advancing well and some important achievements have already been made.

Thanks to CEF funding important improvements are being made with regard to rail transport. Rail Actions on the corridor are expected to address existing bottlenecks and improve infrastructure quality and standards, especially regarding speed, axle load and train length as well as safety. In total, 450 km of freight lines will be improved and almost 170 km of railway lines will be electrified. Significant investments for the modernisation of the national rail networks are made in Cohesion countries located on the corridor, namely in Poland, Czech Republic and Slovenia, where the majority of planned works are well underway, while some parts of the network have already been completed. So far, three out of six critical rail cross-border sections identified as a priority in the Work Plan are addressed by CEF. Furthermore, CEF contributes to the removal of the missing links at the Alpine crossings in Austria, another important priority of the European Coordinator. In this regard, the CEF Action addressing parts of the Koralm tunnel has already been largely completed. Significant investments are also made in ERTMS deployment, whereby 797 km of railway lines along the corridor will be equipped with ERTMS thanks to CEF intervention. In this regard, the largest

Action deploying ERTMS along 204 km of railway lines on the Czech part of the corridor is largely completed.

Significant contributions of CEF to the Work Plan priorities are also made to other modes of transport. Road Actions address the critical road cross-border sections, identified in the Work Plan between Poland and Slovakia, and between the Czech Republic and Austria. In this regard, the construction of the 25 km long extension of the Austrian A5 North motorway between Schrick – Poysbrunn on the Brno – Wien cross-border section was completed already in December 2017, while the works addressing the critical bottleneck of the Slovak Motorway D3 Čadca, between Bukov – Svrčinovec, on the Katowice – Žilina cross-border section are well advanced. Innovation Actions, particularly those in the electric mobility sector, facilitate the deployment of alternative fuels for road transport on the corridor. The portfolio has grown significantly since the last report and 29 Actions are expected to install 1,235 supply points. Also, the deployment of LCNG as an alternative fuel is gaining its momentum. So far, thanks to two already completed Actions 114 charging stations for electric vehicles have been deployed in the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia, enabling the cross-border electromobility along the corridor. Finally, maritime Actions help to upgrade the infrastructure of all core ports of the corridor and contribute to the Work Plan priority related to last mile connections and hinterland connections of ports. It is evident that significant progress has been made since the adoption of the TEN-T Regulation in 2013, in particular regarding sustainable modes of transport, especially rail, but continuous efforts of all stakeholders are necessary to reach the infrastructure requirements along the Corridor by 2030. It is also clear that the resources required to develop the corridor in line with the standards are much higher than the available EU funds. Therefore, other financial schemes also need to be considered. In this regard, it should be noted that the Corridor has been very successful in securing CEF funding through CEF Blending Call and in total 21 Actions have been funded in the road (alternative fuels), maritime and rail sector. This shows the potential of the corridor to mobilise private financing for transport infrastructure investments, which should be further explored9. Needless to say, a continuous close follow-up on the sound implementation of the current CEF Actions by INEA is necessary, which will be particularly important in the last years of implementation of the CEF programme in order to ensure that the available funds under the programme are fully and efficiently used. Finally, it should be noted that, at the moment of drafting this report, the consequences of the health crisis caused by COVID-19 could not be assessed or quantified.
