Regional dimension of TEN-T
The European Commission and the Member States defined the TEN-T schemes in the mid-1990s. At the time, the European Union was still composed of 15 countries and the challenges of mobility for people and freights were surely different than those of nowadays. A first revision of the common Regulations in the field occurred in 2004, but further adaptation to evolving scenario and geographical enlargement of the Union was necessary. Thus, at the beginning of February 2009, the Commission has published its new Green Paper for the revision of the TEN-T schemes. Speakers and participants will share their visions on the state of art of TEN-T schemes and explore the immediate future of the three strategic dimensions of TEN-T projects: the political, the financial and the environmental ones. Main issues treated will include the expected accomplishments of TEN-T axes on the basis of the orientation outlined by the new EC Green Paper, a balance of Public-Private-Partnerships in this field, an evaluation of possible new formulas that could be experimented for a better combination of the EU, national, regional and private capitals for the realisation of the transport infrastructures. Other questions, specifically relating to the matter of the local connections to the TEN-T schemes, will be also be prepared and presented with the participation of the European Commission, Committee of the Regions and European Parliament.
