I) THE “TRANS EUROPEAN RAILWAY (TER)” PROJECT The TER Project consists of a series of objectives and actions to achieve them, which are established with the aim of improving the quality and efficiency of international rail and combined transport, passenger and freight, on the main international lines of the following countries: Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Georgia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russian Federation, Slovakia, Slovenia and Turkey. While these lines are not the whole railway network of the above countries, but a small number of them, they constitute nevertheless a continuous railway network, designated hereafter as the TER Network. The TER Network includes, not only the north-south corridor, but also west – east lines which have been added to take into account new developments and integration processes in the region. The TER Project releates to the TER network only. It considers also the related combined transport installations and equipment in the above countries. II) OBJECTIVES The general objective of the TER Project is to assist the member countries in developing a coherent efficient rail and combined transport system among Central and Eastern European countries and between those countries and other European countries, in implementing the EU policy in this field in the new EU member states or in accession, in providing an adequate framework for implementing the results of the TER Master Plan and promoting new links for a more efficient and financial competitive mode of transport the by co-ordinated efforts of all countries situated in this region. By providing efficient competitive services, the TER system must become attractive to customers, both passenger and freight, and be able to absorb an important part of the international transport market within, from and to Central and Eastern Europe, thus alleviating congestion and reducing environmental and safety problems on major international roads of those countries. More specific objectives are: A. Infrastructure development With the exception of some short sections, the physical plan of the TER Network is already in place. However, the infrastructure standards are far below those indicated in the AGC and AGTC Agreements. The objectives in this field are therefore, firstly the implementation of the TER standards (medium term) and the upgrading of the existing infrastructure to the level determined in the AGC and AGTC Agreements as the final target. As regards related combined transport installations, the objective is to upgrade what exists, to develop new ones and to provide all of them with appropriate equipment. Implementation of investment projects identified as a result of the TER Master Plan is one of the priority objectives. Follow-up of this activity should enable TER countries to modernise to higher standards the railway infrastructure. B. Modernization of transport equipment Transport equipment (rolling stock, motive power, signalling and telecommunications equipment, etc.) is in many cases not apt for today’s performances. The objective is therefore to progressively replace it by new equipment according to a necessary harmonization – at least at the level of compatibility – of the equipment adopted by the different countries. Transfer of know-how and technical documentation via seminars or workshops for providing new solutions (Joint Ventures, Leasing, etc.) should be also considered. C. Adaptation of organization to market oriented management Railways no longer have the dominant position they had in the past. In market economies, road transport has succeeded in providing better door-to-door services and just-in-time deliveries, required by customers today, and its share of the transport market has become much more important than the one of rail transport. In Central and Eastern European countries, as a consequence of a fundamentally different approach, railways were able to keep for decades the strongest position with regard to other modes. However, recent developments in those countries and the adoption of market principles in economies will lead to a strong and fast development of road transport. Already, as a consequenceof both this development and the recession,which has followedthe initiation of a transition period, rail traffic has sharply decreased. If this situation goes on, governments might soon face very serious problems. The final objective is therefore to assist the railway companies in implementing a modern, efficient market-oriented organization and management, which would ensure a smooth transition to a new equilibrium of modes in the transport sector in Central and Eastern European countries. In particular, increased attention should be paid to international combined transport. Advantages of road in terminal transport should be combined with the environmental and safety advantages of rail on main transport in order to provide efficient international combined transport services. The rail part of the service still has to be efficient and of the appropriate quality. Border crossing procedures will have to be simplified according to new European or international standards. Railway companies will have to continue to improve commercial orientation. In order to achieve this objective, management will have to be trained accordingly. The implementation of the EU Directives should also be considered as a major task. III) PRIORITY ACTIONS
