FERRMED TRANS-EUROPEAN CLUSTER CONFERENCE

FOREWORD

200 businessmen and politicians from across the European Union support the FERRMED Declaration regarding the Trans- European Railway Core Net-work and FERRMED Great Axis Area of influence.

On the 21st September 2011, the headquarters of the International Press Centre in Brussels held a main event for the support of the FERRMED Declaration regard-ing the Trans European Railway Core Network and the development of FERRMED Great Axis Area of influence.

The main topics were: the confirmation of the issues proclaimed in the FERRMED

Manifesto in Brussels on January 2011 and to enhance the advantages of the incorporation/inclusion into the Trans-European Rail Core Network of FERRMED Axis main lines and nodes.

See in the attached Declaration (page 5) the key issues concerning the Trans-European Railway Core Network like: Global coordination at EU level including a leading organism for investment planning and control, common standards for Rail Freight Transportation, urban nodes and main ports to be considered, as well as the inclusion in the Core Network of all main lines of FERRMED Intercontinental Great Axis Rail Network.

Another key issue to be taken into consideration is the distinction in the Core Network of two kind of Corridors:

1. Corridor of the maximum strategic impact, critical mass and that facilitates the links with neighbour countries and to the global market (Great Corridor)

2. Corridor with regular or medium strategic impact and with the function of feeder Axis to the Great Corridors (Basic Corridor)

FOREWORD 2

The required investments in the Core Network have to be allocated firstly in the Great Corri-dors.

Another main issue of the Conference has been the Call for the Constitution of the FERRMED Cluster of Cities Association, promoted by Barcelona City Town Hall, in or-der to:

• Make a coordinated and strong follow up of the involved Trans-European invest-ment plans, particularly on railways.

• Reinforce the socio-economic and cultural ties

• Develop (to participate) common pro-grams of R+D+i/ R+D+4i

• Point out the main innovative topics with regard to transportation systems.

Many important speakers representing the Belgian government, the EU Parliament, Busi-ness Associations, Regional and Local author-ities took place in the Conference (see event programme below).

PROGRAMME OF FERRMED TRANS-EUROPEAN CLUSTER CONFERENCE

4TH FERRMED CONFERENCE “EU NEW TRENDS IN THE RAIL-ROAD FREIGHT COMBINED TRANSPORTATION AND SHORT SEA SHIPPING”

FERRMED organized, as well, one important conference with more than 200 attendants in the SIL in Barcelona, the 9th of June 2011, “EU New Trends in rail-road freight combined transport and fleet short sea shipping”.

The topics of the conference were:

• Rail-road freight combined transport mile-stones in EU.

• European transport policy. Progress and prospects.

• Unaccompanied intermodal rail-road transport new trends.

• Rolling motorways.

• Rail-road freight and short sea shipping.

The conference finished with a visit to the Port of Barcelona and its new internation-al gauge railway connection (see figure below).

TRANS–EUROPEAN RAILWAY CORE NETWORK DEFINITION

Probably the main key issue during this period has been the announcement of the Trans-European Railway Core Net-work definition made by the EC DG Move on 19th October 2011.

FERRMED is pleased by the fact that the EU is moving towards an establishment of a reticular and polycentric Rail Net-work as FERRMED has been requesting since its foundation.

However, in opinion of FERRMED the proposed Core Network is rather excessive in terms of number of corridors. The-refore should be distinguish two kind of corridors as is stated in the Declaration made on the occasion of the FERRMED TRANS-EUROPEAN CLUSTER CONFERENCE held on the 21st last September in Brussels. That is Great Corridors and Basic Corridors.

INTERCONTINENTAL GREAT AXIS SCANDINAVIA–RHINE-RHÔNE-WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN (FERRMED GREAT AXIS)

FERRMED expresses at the same time, its satisfaction as a re-sult of the inclusion in the Trans-European Core Network of the Great Axis main branches.

All this will contribute to a significant reduction of logistic costs and a higher competitiveness of the FERRMED Great Axis Area of In-fluence “Red Banana” and consequently, to the whole European Union, due to the importance that this Area represents for all of the EU (54% of the population, 66% of GDP, 80% of the intercontinen-tal maritime traffic of containers, the most part of exportations, etc.).

Nevertheless, the route through Spain does not cover completely FERRMED proposal and will be necessary to introduce the appro-priate modifications. A serious issue is the exclusion of Málaga as node of the Core Network, since its urban agglomeration is well over one million inhabitants. In France the lines Lille-Metz and ‘‘Rocade Nord de Paris’’ have not been included.

COMMON STANDARDS IMPLEMENTATION OVER ALL TRANS-EUROPEAN CORE NETWORK

FERRMED insist once more in the necessity of the implementation of the so called “FERRMED Standards” in all the lines that are included in the Core Network, starting with the main corridors (Great Corridors). In fact, the EC Guidelines are the first step in the accomplishment of this goal.

The introduction of these standards must be followed by the establishment of an EU level organism to coordinate: the appropriate funds assignation, the capacity and traffic lines management, slots assignation, tracking system, etc.

FINAL CONCLUSIONS

FERRMED is pleased by the important step forward in the definition and establishment of the Trans-European Rail Core Network but would like to highlight the necessity to taking into account FERRMED proposals regarding:

• Correct identification of the Great Corridors in the Core Network, giving priority to the investments in these ones.

• To include in France the lines Lille-Metz and the ‘‘Rocade Nord de Paris’’ in the Core Network

• The gradual implementation of FERRMED Standards in the Core Network, first in the Great Corridors, considering, among other concepts, a longer length of freight trains and the urgent change of gauge (or addition of a third rail) on conventional lines in the Iberian Mediterranean Corridor.

• The inclusion in the Iberian Mediterranean Corridor of the new lines Lorca – Granada and Almeria – Motril – Málaga – Algeciras (avoiding steep ramps of the interior line).

• The incorporation in Great Corridor number 9 of the branch Bremen-Duisburg-Köln-Koblenz-Luxembourg.

As a result, FERRMED strongly urges the European Commission, the Council of Ministers, the European Parliament and the Members States involved, especially France and Spain, that in this new phase of analysis and discussion of the proposal published by the Commission, the approaches of this statement should be taken into account.

Finally, FERRMED would like to thank for the support received to its proposals by all kind of companies, employers organizations, labor unions, professional associations, Chambers of Commerce, National, Regional and Local govern-ments, European Commission, European Parliament, media and a countless wide range of institutions. This has been decisive for the achievement of the results reached so far.

Joan AMORÓS—Secretary General FERRMED

EC TRANS-EUROPEAN RAILWAY CORE NETWORK PROPOSAL

NEWS 5 FERRMED TRANS-EUROPEAN CLUSTER CONFERENCE DECLARATION Brussels, September 21st 2011

I. TRANS-EUROPEAN RAILWAY CORE NETWORK DEFINITION AND MANAGEMENT

Being close the publication of the proposal of Trans-European Railway Core Network by the European Commission, FERRMED would like to express its gratitude for the good relationship with the Directorate General of Mobility and other key directorates of the EC, regarding all that concerns the TEN-T Policy Review.

FERRMED has stated its opinion and made several significant contributions concerning the definition of the Trans-European Railway Core Network, as it is expressed in the FERRMED MANIFESTO proclaimed in the European Par-liament in Brussels on January 12th 2011. (see the concept of Rail Freight Core Network propo-sed by FERRMED in figure 1)

The main issues that FERRMED would like to emphasize are:

• Global Coordination at EU level: This function has to include: traffic and Core Network needs identification, capacity management (demand and supply balance), monitoring, slots assignation, standardization, tracking system (through ITS), maintenance coordina-tion, policies for incentivizing the efficient use of infrastructure, technology and innovation, etc…, It has to incorporate, as well, an EU leading organism for investments planning and in order to coordinate the economic funds allocation for Rail Core Network development and Common Standards implementation

• Common standards for Rail Freight Transpor-tation: FERRMED strongly recommend the gradual implementation of the so called FERRMED Standards in the EU Railway Core Network. In fact, FERRMED demonstrates in the “Supply and Demand, Technical and Socio-Economic Global Study of the FERRMED Great Axis and its Area of Influence”, that the application of FERRMED Standards is the only way to reverse the decreasing share of railway in EU land transportation, and, as a consequence, to reduce logistic costs, to increase the competitiveness and to accomplish the White Book targets in the GHG emissions.

FERRMED Global Study has analyzed the impact of the implementation of these Standards in all FERRMED Great Axis Rail Network (“Red Banana”), including bottlenecks solving, required by-passes, new lines, terminals, rolling stock adaptation, adjustment to international width of the conventional lines’ tracks in the Spanish Mediterranean Co-rridor, etc... In spite of the exhaustive investments considered, the conclusion is a very good socio-economic results with an Economic Internal Rate of Return of 11,1% with the possibility to move from 266 billion tones-km per year transported in 2005 to 524 billion tones-km per year by 2025, and with more than 145 million tones reduction in CO2 emissions from 2016 to 2045.

• Inclusion in the Core Network of all main lines of FERRMED Intercontinental Great Axis Rail Network, that con-nects St. Petersburg and the Scandinavian countries with Central Europe and Western Mediterranean till Casablanca and other important cities in North Africa.

II. FERRMED GREAT AXIS RAIL NETWORK AREA OF INFLUENCE

II.1. Nodes to be included in the Core Network

Due to its great socio-economic and intermodal impact (54% EU Population, 66% of EU GDP, 80% of EU Seaport inter-continental container traffic, 90% of inland waterways freight traffic), the FERRMED Great Axis Rail Network area of in-fluence (“Red Banana”) is the innermost zone of the Trans-European Railway Core Network.

It covers most of the urban nodes, ports and airports that are the base that supports the Core Network.

Taking into account the EC TEN-T philosophy for the definition of urban nodes, seaports and airports (adding, as well, the main waterways inland ports) and considering the FERRMED Standards criteria of great socio-economic and inter-modal impact (as it is stated in the FERRMED Manifesto), the urban nodes, ports and airports to be considered as the base for the Core Network inside the “Red Banana” Area are:

AIRPORTS in FERRMED Area All the airports that belong to the urban nodes are considered in the Core Network.

II.2. Railway lines to be included in the Core Network

In fact the lines to be included in the Core Network are those that link among them the Urban Nodes and main Ports and Airports.

FERRMED states that the routes connecting these nodes have to accomplish the following criteria:

• Minimal distance

• “Critical Mass” (Socio-economic density) on the route between nodes

• Strategic impact

• Facilitate the links of EU to the neighbouring countries and to the global market.

According to these criteria, in the Trans-European Railway Core Network, we have to distinguish two kinds of corridors:

1. Corridors of the maximum strategic impact, critical mass and that facilitate the links with neighbouring countries and to the global market (Great Corridor).

URBAN NODES in FERRMED Area

SEA PORTS in FERRMED Area

INLAND WATERWAYS PORTS in FERRMED Area

NEWS 7

2. Corridors with regular or medium stra-tegic impact and critical mass (Basic/main Corridor).

The “Great Corridor” requires, at least, two railway parallel lines (not necessary side by side) with double tracks each one.

In the figure 2 you can see the corridors inside the FERRMED Great Axis Rail Network and its Area of Influence (Red Banana) that, FERR-MED propose to be included in the Trans-European Core Network.

II.3. Main sectors of the Red Banana

In that sense, FERRMED would like to emphasize the strategic impact of the dif-ferent sectors of the Red Banana:

Northern Sector

It concerns to the Baltic Basin.

The key issues are: the interconnection with Russia and Trans-Siberian Railway Northern branch, the Bothnian Corridor that feeds all EU of raw materials (90% of Europe’s iron ore), wooden products and fish, and the ports that are linked though the corresponding feeder sea lines with the important intercontinental traffics of Northern Sea harbors

Central Sector

It involves the most populated and more important socio-economic area of all the European Union covering a wide zone that goes from London, the British Channel and Northern Sea till Berlin and München.

Through the ports of this mega-region flows the most important sea and fluvial freight traffic of all over Europe.

It is, as well, a major intersection of corridors East-West and north-South of the EU.

Rhine Valley is the back-bone of this great area, and Moselle and Saone Valleys, jointly with transalpine crossings, the natural connections to the South.

Southern Sector

It covers a large territory from Switzer-land, Rhône-Alpes, Piedmont, Lom-bardy and Liguria to all the western Mediterranean regions till Andalucía and Nord of Africa.

It is an strategic area for the Euro-pean Union, because in the Medite-rranean Basin it flows, now a days, the most important sea intercontinen-tal traffic all over the world.

At the same time the ports of this zo-ne links easily with the emergent North of Africa countries.

The Iberian Mediterranean Corridor is the shortest land way to reach North of Africa from Central Europe.

See in figure 3 the proposed railway lines in the most Southern part of the Red Banana and the interconnections bet-ween both sides of Mediterranean Coast in this sector. In 2009 more than 6,5 million persons crosses by sea this neighborhood.

NEWS 8 II.4. Call for the Constitution of the FERRMED Cluster of Cities Association (FERRMED CCA)

The Area of influence of FERRMED Great Axis Rail Network (from Saint Petersburg to Casablanca)(Red Banana) co-vers the major agglomeration of cities of all over Europe.

FERRMED fully supports the constitution of this Association, promoted by Barcelona City Town Hall, in order:

• To make a coordinated and strong follow-up of the involved Trans-European investment plans.

• To reinforce the socio-economic and cultural ties among the cities of this Great Area.

• To develop (to participate) common programmes of R+D+i / R+D+4i.

• To substantially contribute to the dissemination and spreading of the R+D+4i Action Plan from the EULERS (EU Locomotive Economic Regions, that mainly are located in Red Banana) to the whole EU and neighbouring coun-tries.

And, in general, to contribute to FERRMED Association main aims progress and development.

III. MAIN CONCLUSION

Taking into account all the above mentioned considerations, FERRMED (supported by all kind of enterprises, business institutions, unions and national, regional and local governments involved in Red Banana Area), kindly request from Mr. Siim Kallas, Vice-president of the European Commission and Commissioner Responsible for Transport, to include in Trans-European Railway Core Network all the aforementioned Great and Basicain lines of this key European Area (as it is stated in figure 2), without forgetting the Bothnian Corridor (for freight), the link between Rhein and Saone-Rhône Va-lleys through Moselle Pass (freight and passengers), the full East by-pass of Lyon (freight), the Transalpine link Lyon-Torino (freight and passengers) and the Spanish Mediterranean Corridor by the coast (including Málaga as an Urban Node) in its whole extension, from French border till Algeciras (freight and passengers).

FERRMED gently ask, as well, the full and official support to this petition to the governments of the member states that are more directly involved, particularly France and Spain.

To invest in FERRMED Great Axis Rail Network, is the best way to enhance the EU competitiveness and to recover the existing crisis, because, of its high positive impact in the productive economy.

Finally, FERRMED offers to the European Commission all its know-how and experience as well as its full cooperation in the process of gradual development of the Trans-European Railway Core Network and common standards implementa-tion.

FERRMED STATEMENT DUE TO THE TRANS-EUROPEAN RAIL NETWORK PRO-POSAL CARRIED OUT BY THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION Brussels, October 19th 2011

1. Trans-European Railway Core Network Definition

FERRMED is pleased by the fact that the EU is moving towards an establishment of a reticular and polycentric Rail Net-work as FERRMED has been requesting since its foundation. FERRMED also states its satisfaction by the fact that the Guidelines stablished for the Railway Core Network by the EC include many of the FERRMED standards proposals.

However, in opinion of FERRMED the proposed Core Network is excessive in terms of number of corridors. Therefore should be distinguish two kind of corridors as is stated in the Declaration made on the occasion of the FERRMED TRANS-EUROPEAN CLSUTER CONFERENCE held on the 21st last September in Brussels. That is:

• Corridors of the maximum strategic impact, critical mass and that facilitate the links with neighbouring countries and to the global market (Great Corridor).

• Corridors with regular or medium strategic impact and critical mass (Basic Corridor) with a function of feeder axis to the Great Corridors.

Great Corridors require, at least, two parallel rail lines (not necessarily to be side by side) with double track each.

In fact, ten Great Corridors are enough to the European Union, therefore the rest should be considered as Basic Corri-dors and assume the function of feeding the Great ones.

NEWS 9 FERRMED agrees with the ten Great Corridors proposed by the EC, but we strongly believe in the importance of the inclusion of the branch Bremen-Duisburg-Köln-Koblenz-Luxemburg in corridor number 9 in order to improve the Railway Network effect. Therefore, we kindly request the addition of the mentioned branch in order to facilitate the coordination and crossing of freight flows North-South and East-West in this key EU area.

2. Intercontinental Great Rail Axis Scandinavia-Rhine-Rhône-Western Mediterranean (FERRMED Great Axis)

FERRMED expresses, at the same time, its satisfaction as a result of the inclusion in the Trans-European Network of the Great Axis’s main branch (which crosses eight different states with more than 4.000 Km.) with the following lines:

Saint Petersburg > Helsinki > Turku > Stockholm > Malmö > Copenhagen > Lübeck > Hamburg > Bremen > Rotterdam/Antwerp/Duisburg > Düsseldorf > Köln > Koblenz > Luxembourg/Apach > Metz > Dijon > Lyon (the east by-pass inclu-ded) > Avignon/Marseille > Montpellier > Perpignan > Barcelona > Tarragona > Castellón > Valencia > Alicante > Mur-cia/Cartagena > Almería > Algeciras, considering as well, lines from the east branch: > Koblenz > Mannheim > Basel > Bern/Zürich > Milano > Genova

FERRMED is also gratified by the inclusion in the Core Network of several feeders of the main branch, as requested.

All this will contribute to a significant reduction of logistic costs and a higher competitiveness of the FERRMED Great Axis Area of Influence “Red Banana” and consequently, to the whole European Union, due to the importance that this Area represents for all of the EU (54% of the population, 66% of GDP, 80% of the intercontinental maritime traffic of con-tainers, the most part of exportations, etc.).

Nevertheless, the route through Spain does not cover completely FERRMED proposal and will be necessary to introduce the appropriate modifications. A serious issue is the exclusion of Málaga as node of the Core Network, since its urban agglomeration is well over one million inhabitants. In France the lines Lille-Metz and ‘‘Rocade Nord de Paris’’ have not been included.

3. Iberian Mediterranean Corridor

It is the southern sector of FERRMED Great Axis that links with the important intercontinental Mediterranean traffics and with the North of Africa.

On this corridor, FERRMED would like to highlight that:

• The Mediterranean Corridor denomination must only be applied for the route that runs parallel to the coast.

• The route proposed by the Spanish government in the southern sector of the corridor is not acceptable because of several reasons: it marginalizes the Andalusian coast from Almeria to Algeciras; it doesn’t include Málaga as node in

the Core Network (becoming part of the main branch of the FERRMED Great Axis, as befits); it doesn’t consider the

direct link Lorca – Granada and initially doesn’t solve the route for freight between Fuente la Higuera and Murcia.

• In short, this route is a detour of several hundred kilometers (about 120 on the route Almeria – Algeciras and 150 in the “provisional” route Fuente la Higuera – Chinchilla – Murcia) with some steep ramps, which significantly diminis-hes the competitiveness of this part of the Corridor. Particularly, the line Almeria-Moreda-Granada-Antequera-Bovadilla-Algeciras, has many ramps between 20 and 30 per thousand that do not reach, by far, the EC guidelines.

4. Common Standards implementation in the whole Trans-European Core Network.

FERRMED insist once more in the necessity of the implementation of the so called “FERRMED Standards” in all the li-nes that are included in the Core Network, starting with the Basic corridors. In fact, the EC Guidelines are the first step in the accomplishment of this goal.

As proved in the FERRMED GLOBAL STUDY cofounded by TEN-T, the application of these standards is the only way to reverse the increasing trend of the road traffic in regard of rail traffic and to be able to accomplish the environmental ob-jectives considered in the “White Book”.

NEWS 10 Regarding the gradual implementation of this standards, one key issue in order to get trains of more than 1.000 meters lenght, is the application of automatic couplings in fraight wagons (taking into account an overlapping period with the present coupling).

The introduction of these standards must be followed by the establishment of an EU level organism to coordinate: the appropriate funds assignation, the capacity and traffic lines management, slots assignation, tracking system, etc.

5. Final Considerations

FERRMED is pleased by the important step forward in the definition and establishment of the Trans-European Rail Core Network with the corresponding guidelines, but would like to highlight the necessity to taking into account FERRMED proposals regarding:

• Correct identification of the Great Corridors in the Core Network, giving priority to the investments in these ones.

• To include in France the lines Lille-Metz and the ‘‘Rocade Nord de Paris’’

• The gradual implementation of FERRMED Standards in the Core Network, first in the Great Corridors, considering, among other concepts, a longer length of freight trains and the urgent change of gauge on conventional lines in the Iberian Mediterranean Corridor.

• The inclusion in the Iberian Mediterranean Corridor of the new lines Lorca – Granada and Almeria – Motril – Málaga – Algeciras (avoiding steep ramps of the interior line).

• The incorporation in Great Corridor number 9 of the branch Bremen-Duisburg-Köln-Koblenz-Luxembourg

As a result, FERRMED strongly urges the European Commission, the Council of Ministers, the European Parliament and the Members States involved, especially France and Spain, that in this new phase of analysis and discussion of the pro-posal published by the Commission, the approaches of this statement should be taken into account.

Finally, FERRMED would like to thank for the support received to its proposals by all kind of companies, employers orga-nizations, labor unions, professional associations, Chambers of Commerce, National, Regional and Local governments, European Commission, media and a countless wide range of institutions. This has been decisive for the achievement of the results reached so far.

VALENCIA DECLARATION Valencia, Spain. December 15th 2011

1. DETERMINATION OF THE TRANS-EUROPEAN CORE NETWORK

FERRMED welcomes the Trans-European Core Network proposal made by the European Commission, which includes almost all FER-RMED propositions, including the establishment of most of FERRMED Standards in the "Guidelines" to be considered in all corridors that will be part of the Core Network.

Also, FERRMED appreciates that the European Commission has taken into account the definition of a dozen "prioritary" corridors with-in the Core Network, as declared by FERRMED after the TRANS-EUROPEAN FERRMED CLUSTER Conference, held on Brussels the 21st September 2011.

2. GREAT INTERCONTINENTAL RAILWAY AXIS SCANDINAVIA - RHINE - RHÔNE - WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN (FERRMED GREAT AXIS)

FERRMED also expresses its satisfaction because the main trunk of the Great Axis (which crosses eight different countries with more than 4,000 km long) is considered part of the Trans-European Central Network, according to the proposal made by our Association.

However, the route through Spain (Mediterranean Corridor) does not satisfy FERRMED expectations and petitions and, therefore, the inclusion of new lines (which actual EC Proposal does not cover) is necessary, as is the case of Lorca - Baza - Granada and Almeria - Motril - Málaga - Algeciras.

In France, the complementary lines of the main trunk: Lille - Metz and "Rocade Nord de Paris" have not been included either. FER-RMED should also insist on its inclusion.

3. MEDITERRANEAN CORRIDOR. SOUTHERN ZONE OF FERRMED GREAT AXIS

3.1. Section Lyon - Spanish border

In this section it is essential to ensure that actions carried out in the following lines will be finished by the due dates:

- "Contournement Est" in Lyon Northern Sector: 2019 South Sector: before 2023

- Refurbishment of the line Valence - Grenoble: 2013

- Sector Nîmes - Montpellier: New mixed line of high performance: 2016

- Sector Montpellier - Perpignan: New mixed line of high performance: 2020

- Remodeling of access to the Port of Marseille: First phase 2013, Phase II 2014 and Phase III 2020. - New line transalpine Lyon - Turin: 2023 (base tunnel of Saint Jean de Maurienne - Susa).

These dates are deadlines, based on the traffic resulting from the Global Study conducted by FERRMED in 2009.

During 2012 we also have to solve the problem of control and signaling systems in the mixed high performance line Perpignan - Figue-res (see 3.2.5).

3.2. Iberian Corridor Segment (French border - Algeciras)

3.2.1. Essential aspects to consider In this section there are four essential aspects to consider: • To guarantee that the actions to be taken will be concluded in the agreed timming, according the traffic forecasted by FERR-MED Global Study.

• The addition of some lines not covered by the Southern Sector of the Corridor.

• The adequacy of the EC "Core Network” lines to the standards advocated by the "Guidelines" to introduce into the Trans-European Core Network. • The issue of control and signaling system in the new mixed line of high performance Perpignan - Barcelona.

NEWS 12 3.2.2. Ensuring completion dates of the actions to be taken

3.2.3. Incorporation of some lines not covered by the Southern Sector Corridor

The Great Axis FERRMED-due to its high critical mass and high-level strategic-must have all the way from Scandinavia to the south of the Iberian Peninsula, two parallel lines (not necessarily next to each other) with double track each one.

In fact, from 2020, throughout its route from Helsinki to Alicante the double line will be a reality.

FERRMED urges that this double line has to be continued from Ali-cante to Murcia and Lorca. At Lorca one of the lines will be directed towards Granada through Baza; the other will continue to Almeria

and, from there, to Motril, Malaga and Algeciras.

NEWS 13

Furthermore, Malaga should be included as Node "Core Network", as it has an urban agglomeration of over one million inhabitants.

On the other hand, other peninsular corridors with a lower critical mass that the Mediterranean (Atlantic Corridor and Central Corridor, for example) already have, or will have in the medium term this double line. It would be unreasonable to discriminate the corridor with the greatest potential of the peninsula in front of others.

3.2.4. Adaptation of the lines of "Core Network" to the standards recommended in the EU Guidelines The European Commission on "Proposals for Regulation on Union guidelines for the Development of the Trans-European Transport Network. Regulation Establishing the Connecting Facility Europe ", published last October, makes it clear that the railway infrastruc-ture of the" Core Network" without exception should adopt common Standards advocated: - Track gauge of 1435 mm. - Electrified lines. - For the lines used by conventional freight trains: 22.5 tons per axle, speed of 100 km / h train length of 750 meters. - Maximum slopes for lines, used for conventional rail freight of 12.5 mm/m In the Mediterranean Corridor we can see that new lines under construction, mixed (suitable for high speed passenger trains and for conventional rail freight), do not meet the standards established by the European Commission. That is the case of the lines Barcelona - Perpignan and Murcia - Almeria, where ramps are foreseen 18 mm/m and 20 mm/m respectively. This implies the use of a second locomotive in the conventional trains in goods, with the rising cost that this entails. In the first case the solution is to use for freight trains the existing conventional line, that crosses the border in Portbou. In the second case the solution gravitates to rectify the route of the line currently under construction. FERRMED not accept, under any circumstanc-es, that the Mediterranean Corridor has a performance inferior to those established by the European Commission. The same appears in the line Almeria - Moreda - Granada - Antequera - Bobadilla - Algeciras with ramps near 30mm/ m. This is one more reason to build a new high-performance mixed line along the coast, to Motril and Malaga to Algeciras, tailored to the require-ments of the European Commission. 3.2.5. The problem of control and signaling system in the new line of high performance mixed Perpignan - Barcelona

In this line there are two different trunks if we take in account the control and signaling system: • Section Perpignan - Figueres with ERTMS 1 • Section Figueres - Barcelona with double: ERTMS 1 and ASFA Today, for high speed passenger trains ERTMS is mandatory (because they operate on a specific network). However, this is absolute-ly not the case of freight trains, which operate throughout the Trans-European Network. On the conventional French network, KBV is the signaling system and control and, in the Spanish Network, the ASFA system is used. There is a very important number of locomotives equipped with either the system KBV or ASFA. To incorporate both systems in a locomotive is relatively easy and inexpensive, while the installation of ERTMS is actually quite expensive. Because the ERTMS system implementation in all European conventional lines will take many years (Core Network deadline 2030 and, for the Comprehensive Network, 2050), and due to the fact that in the sector Perpignan - Figueres the systems KBV or ASFA are not installed , the movement of freight trains will strangle because of the high cost of the ERTMS installation on the locomotives. Therefore, FERRMED urges the sector company TP FERRO to install either ASFA system, or this system jointly with the KBV system in the line Perpignan - Figueres by December 2012 (the month that the new line Figueres - Barcelona will be fully operational).

WORKING PLAN FOR THE UPCOMIING MONTHS

MEET OUR MEMBERS 35 INTERVIEW WITH TIRRENO BIANCHI, FERRMED VICE PRESIDENT FOR ITALY

1. What is your relation to freight railway and multimodal transporta-tion? What are your previous experi-ences in the field and what are your actual responsibilities or duties re-lated to this topic?

I have worked in the Port of Genoa since 1970. The experiences gained over the years working with the Milan company Progetrasporti enabled me to study, analyse and assess the issues associated with railway transport in Europe and Italy.

Currently, at the controls of Pietro Chiesa, I am the Deputy Chairman and shareholder of Fuori Muro, a railway handling company at the Port of Genoa with a development plan that will bring our new operation to the national grid.

2. What do you think is the main value or the most important objective that FERRMED is trying to achieve, re-garding Italian companies, European companies in the logistics sector and European freight transport policies?

We were the first company in Italy to form part of FERRMED on the invite of secretary-general Amoros precisely be-cause we share the lines of strategy developed and proposed by the Association for the development and growth of the European transport networks and therefore the volumes of traffic moved across the continent.

The basic idea, considering Europe as an integrated grid with major arteries, regional systems, port cities, safety stand-ards and environmental protection represents an extraordinary opportunity for development and especially employment.

3. The EC DG Move has included practically all the main lines requested by FERRMED (proposal Railway Core Network). How do you evaluate this achievement?

The objective is a fundamental step for the entire segment, but it deems the distress of the Mediterranean system, ac-centuated by the pressure of the International crisis and the inadequacy of the infrastructure, to have become the prima-ry issue to be proposed and tackled on the European agenda.

4. In the guidelines for the development of the Trans-E core Network, the DG-Move has considered many of the FERRMED Standard proposals. How do you evaluate this achievement?

The slump of the joint international economies is I believe too significant an element and as such we are forced to revise for example some choices proposed in the Green paper, and it is necessary today more than ever to use real goods movement data from the outset.

5. Could you briefly characterize the situation of rail and intermodal freight transport in Italy and all over Euro-pean Union? What are the challenges which still need to be taken up?

In Italy there is no culture of wheeled transport because of both the configuration of the territory and through the short-sighted industrial policies followed since the Second World War.

The true challenge is therefore to reorientate industrial policies by reversing the current situation for which ports and in-frastructure undergo scarce consideration by the government, the corporations and local entities.

6. What are the challenges of Port of Geneva in order to become a key Port of entrance for Asian goods into the European Union?

The Port of Genoa has only two choices: The first concerns the realisation of Corridoio 24 Genoa -- Rotterdam rightly included as a priority in the FERRMED project. The second concerns and needs to open a Mediterranean connection between France and Spain because the Mediterranean network represents the true European challenge. The challenge of a continent that can not solely look to the far east but must know how to open itself up to Africa.

SNCF Geodis: A GLOBAL MULTIMODAL PROVIDER

Member since 01.2011

Website www.geodis.fr

SNCF Geodis, the Transport & Logistics division of SNCF, is Europe’s fourth-largest logistics company.

As either an operator or agent, SNCF Geodis offers customers a full range of transport solutions for devising multimodal packages that are optimised to enhance cost and environmental efficiency and supply chain security.

Organised in three main units – Global offer, Rail Freight and Asset Management – SNCF Geodis’ solutions are designed to ensure responsible freight transport across the supply chain.

• Global offer comprises six business lines: express transport (Geodis Calberson, France Express and Geodis Ciblex), contractual logistics (Geodis Logistics), full and part-load road transport (Geodis BM), air and sea freight forwarding (Geodis Wilson), supply chain

optimisation (Geodis Supply Chain Optimisation) and finished vehicle transport and logistics (STVA). • Rail Freight includes rail companies (Fret SNCF, Captrain and VFLI), combined transport services (Novatrans, Naviland Carg and Froidcombi), rail motorways (Lorry Rail and AFA-Alpine rail motorway) and rail services (Ecorail, Logistra, Edifret and others). • Asset Management offers long-term leasing of wagons, tank cars, containers and locomotives through subsidiaries Ermewa and Akiem. The transport/logistics solutions mix offered by SNCF Geodis gives customers the best of each mode of transport. This synergy effec-tively guarantees cost and environmental optimisation of the supply chain as SNCF Geodis leverages its knowledge of markets and customer needs all the way through last-kilometre service.

SNCF Geodis launches “long train” service on Perpignan-Luxembourg rail motorway

On 19 January 2012, following conclusive tests carried out on 19 and 20 December 2011, Lorry Rail, a co-owned subsidiary of SNCF Geodis, CFL and Modalohr, launched a regular service of 850-metre long trains – the longest freight trains currently operating in France – on the rail motorway connecting the Spanish border near Perpignan (Le Boulou) and Luxembourg (Bettembourg).

The introduction of these long trains is a major step foward in the commitments of the Grenelle environment initiative. It strengthens the fact that modal transfer is one of the keys to reducing the carbon footprint of overland goods transport.”

This innovation increases the capacity of the semi-trailer offering on this line. By the end of the year the increase will be 33%. These high-capacity trains consist of 24 double-body wagons designed by Modalohr and able to transport 48 semi-trailers. By the end of 2012, the four daily return trips on the 1,045-km line will be made by the 2,400-tonne long trains drawn by Fret SNCF.

Lorry Rail, which operates the Luxembourg-Perpignan rail motorway, has since launch in 2008 succeeded in multiplying annual transport volumes of semi-trailers and containers by seven to nearly 50,000 units and topped the billion tonnes per kilometre mark in the first ten months of the year, at 1.2 GTK. With the switch to four daily return trips in early 2011, traffic between Luxembourg and Perpignan has increased 50% in one year, for an estimated total modal transfer of 50 million truck kilometres for the year.

Between now and 2014, the combined performance of catenaries, Fret SNCF locomotives, Modalohr wagons and combined wagons will lead all market players to adapt major lines in the network to trains measuring 1,050 metres long, upping volume to 3,000 tonnes.

MEET OUR MEMBERS 37 PRESENTATION OF AUTORIDAD PORTUARIA DE BALEARES

Name Autoridad Portuaria Balear


Website www.portsdebalears.com

In an island community such as the Balearic Islands, its ports are crucial for communication and provisioning of the population. The Balearic Islands Port Authority manages the ports of general interest of Palma, Alcudia, Mahon, Ibiza and La Savina. They are five gates to the world for the mil-lion residents and the more than twelve million tourists who visit each year. The association of the Balearic Islands Port Authority with the railway axis FERRMED reflects a conviction that this new infrastructure will promote the flow of goods and pas-sengers between the islands and the eastern peninsula, through improved agility in the connections between the major contributing ports and the Mediterranean passage. As a result, the ports of general interest in the Balearic Is-lands are taking further steps forward towards their goal to ensure their customers and users services of the highest quality, safety and efficacy and to optimize economic man-agement. They will also focus on meeting the demands of the Balearic society within a framework of sustainable de-velopment, by providing infrastructures and service activity catalysts which respect and improve the conditions of the territory and the environment. The Balearic Islands Port Authority, in charge of the admin-istration, management and operation of ports of general interest in the Balearic community, is responsible for ensur-ing that they continue to focus on the safety and wellbeing of the citizens of the islands and are capable of responding to their needs with punctuality, security and quality. And that they are recognized by the Balearic society as facilitators of fundamental economic activity on the Islands. Cruises and Nautical Services The ports of general interest in the Balearic Islands are in the leading group of the most popular destinations for cruises in the Medi-terranean. In a hard fought competition between Italians, Greeks and Spaniards, the ports managed by the Port Authority of the Bale-aric Islands, last season, recorded 1.6 million cruise ship passengers and 745 stopovers, with the port of Palma in the lead with nearly 1.5 million passengers and over five hundred stopovers. Another area of great potential in these ports is services offered to pleasure boats. With over 7,600 boats moored at its facilities, the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands is one of the Spanish agencies which offers more and better services for this sector. Through direct and indirect management, as well as private initiatives, there is a complex of facilities available to satisfy from the smallest to the most demanding user. The port of Palma has become an international reference for refitting superyachts and offers, as well as the other ports in the Balearic Islands Port Authority, a wide range of moorings for all lengths. Additionally, the Balearic Islands Port Authority is the Spanish port authority with more lighthouses and other maritime signals under its management. It is responsible for maintaining these aids to navigation and conserving their facilities. Specifically, in the last five years the APB has invested about 3.5 million euros in reparations to the exteriors of the lighthouses and adjacent constructions in the Balearic Islands. At the same time, it launched in 2011, www.farsdebalears.com, in order to share with the public the valuable historic and cultural heritage that revolves around the world of lighthouses on the islands.

Europakorridoren

High speed railway from Stockholm to Ham-burg.


Europakorridoren AB is a company owned by about 50 cities and regions in Sweden. We also have supporters in Denmark, Germany and Belgium as cities, chambers of commerce, other companies and Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg.

We are working for a new high speed railway system from Stockholm to Gothenburg and from Stockholm to Helsingborg and Malmö/Copenhagen and further on to Hamburg. We are trying to get the governments in Sweden, Denmark and Germany to take some deci-

sions about these railways.

In Sweden there are a lot of problems with the capacity on the railways today. There have never been so many passengers on train as today and the number is still increasing and there has never been so much freight traffic on the railways as today. The difference in speed between passenger trains and freight trains makes the problems still worse. The punctuality of the trains is not so good. We have to do something to solve these problems.

With a new railway with capacity for high speed trains most of the fast passenger traffic could be separated from the freight trains. This would make it possible to have much more passen-ger traffic on the new tracks and much more freight trains on the old tracks.

With high speed trains travel times will be drastically reduced. Stockholm – Copenhagen for instance will take just 2 hours and 35 minutes compared with about 5 hours today and Stockholm – Gothenburg 2 hours compared with 3 hours today.

High sped trains are fast and safe – and fill the gap between lengthy air flights and short journeys by car and local trains.

The European Corridor is an environmental project. Preliminary studies show that the project offers major environmental bene-fits, not least in the form of significantly reduced emissions.

The European Corridor could be described as a broadband for physical transport, having favourable effects at both regional level as nationally and internationally.

The European Corridor will create the conditions for travel net-work collaboration based on fast, modern communications and ecologically sustainable development.

We believe that the European Corridor, with a permanent link in place via the Fehmarn Belt tunnel, the HH – tunnel between Helsingborg and Elsinore and

the Nordic Triangle, will draw together southern Sweden, eastern Denmark and northern Germany in a new way and create totally new opportunities for development and greater economic growth. It will do more than just link together a number of metropolitan regions. With the arrival of faster and simpler local communications, it will give smaller regions totaly new opportunities for extensive col-laboration. Some of the most important medium-sized regions will enjoy greater access to the big cities – and to one another. But the European Corridor will also entail considerable benefits at na-tional and international level. By means of train connections with other modes of transport – car and bus, air and sea travel- ease of access will improve far beyond the Corridor boundaries.

We have been working for a very long time but now we are expecting that the government will de-cide something about high speed railways in Sweden 2012 or maybe 2013. We hope so and we believe so!

MEET OUR MEMBERS 39 PRESENTATION OF PROMÁLAGA

Promálaga es una empresa del Ayuntamiento de Málaga dedicada a la promoción, desarrollo de empresas y actividades económicas y socia-les que potencian la generación de empleo, riqueza y bienestar en la ciudad de Málaga.

Con este fin Promálaga, además de otras activi-dades como la gestión de un Programa de creación de empresas, un programa de Apoyo al Emprendedor y la creación de un programa de Servicio de Información a las PYMES mala-gueñas, ha puesto en marcha una amplia Red de Incubadoras como firme apuesta por los jó-venes, por las nuevas tecnologías y por todos los emprendedores que aportan un valor econó-mico y social a la ciudad. Ha participado, por otra parte, en diferentes programas europeos versados en el Medio Ambiente, un Transporte Eficiente y Alternativo, además e gestionar un programa financiado a través de la iniciativa comunitaria Interés III-B, cuyo principal objetivo era el de sentar las bases para un desarrollo de la zona sur de Europa.

Es en este contexto del desarrollo de la zona sur de Europa donde cobra especial importan-cia para la ciudad de Málaga y su entorno el corredor Ferroviario del Mediterráneo y la inclu-sión en su trazado de Málaga y la Costa del Sol. Se trata de una cuestión vital para la ciu-dad de Málaga, para acelerar su recuperación económica así como la de toda la provincia, sin olvidar la Costa del Sol. La no inclusión en el trazado supone un perjuicio importante para los intereses económicos y los retos de futuro de Málaga, como ha quedado demostrado en el comunicado que suscribieron en octubre del 2011 las principales instituciones y sectores económicos y sociales de la provincia.

La incorporación de Málaga, una de las áreas metropolitanas más importantes de España, al trazado es una oportuni-dad histórica. La provincia cuenta con el segundo puerto de cruceros de España en crecimiento sin olvidar el tráfico de mercancías, el tercer aeropuerto peninsular, el Parque Tecnológico de Andalucía o la estación del AVE (tres de Alta Velocidad).
