Introduction
Since 1995, the European Union has the possibility of granting financial assistance to projects of common interest
included in the Guidelines for the development of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T). The latest update
of the TEN-T Guidelines1 was laid down in 2013, at the same time when the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF)2 was
established, succeeding the former TEN-T Programme.
The main objective of the Connecting Europe Facility instrument for the transport sector, as set out by the TEN-T
Guidelines, is to help complete the TEN-T Core Network and its Corridors by 2030. To achieve this objective, a total
budget of 24 billion3 has been made available for projects on the Trans-European Transport Network for the 20142020 period. In relation to its predecessor (the 20072013 TEN-T Programme) CEF allocation for transport projects
made available increased almost threefold. Out of this budget, 11.3 billion is reserved for projects in the Member
States which are eligible for support under the Cohesion Fund4.
CEF priorities
In light of the main aims of the CEF, the funding allocated to projects is organised around three funding objectives:
Funding Objective 1 (FO1): Removing bottlenecks and bridging missing links, enhancing rail interoperability, and,
in particular, improving cross-border sections
Funding Objective 2 (FO2): Ensuring sustainable and efficient transport systems in the long run, with a view to
preparing for expected future transport flows, as well as enabling all modes of transport to be decarbonised
through transition to innovative low-carbon and energy-efficient transport technologies, while optimising safety
Funding Objective 3 (FO3): Optimising the integration and interconnection of transport modes and enhancing the
interoperability of transport services, while ensuring the accessibility of transport infrastructures
In order to ensure best use of the limited EU resources available, the vast majority of CEF funding during the programming period will be directed to major cross-border projects and projects addressing main bottlenecks and
missing links on the nine TEN-T multimodal Corridors, as well as on horizontal priorities such as the implementation
of traffic management systems, which allow the best use of existing infrastructure (e.g. ERTMS for railways, SESAR
for aviation, ITS for road). CEF funding is awarded mainly in the form of grants (through calls for proposals), but also
in the form of financial instruments (managed in cooperation with entrusted entities, notably the European Investment Bank). A number of programme support actions are also being carried out, and others are being planned, in
particular to improve the capacity of Member States and project promoters to prepare the project pipelines.
Multi-Annual and Annual Work Programmes

Between 80 and 85% of CEF funding during the 2014-2020 period will be allocated under the Multi-annual work
programme (MAP). This addresses projects which are of a longer duration and of strategic importance, such as those
along the nine Core Network Corridors5, on the Core Network itself and those addressing horizontal priorities6 which
are pre-identified in Part I of Annex I of the CEF Regulation.
Approximately 15 to 20% of CEF funds during the 2014-2020 period will be allocated under the Annual work programme (AP). This addresses objectives which reflect transport infrastructure development, transport services and
facilities as well as transport policy priorities of a shorter-term nature, which are reduced in scope or more diffuse
in coverage (e.g. reduction of rail freight noise, support of freight transport services, specific actions in the fields of
transport telematics and innovation).

The 2014 MAP7 and AP8 work programmes were adopted on 26 March 2014. They detail the priorities and total
indicative amount of financial support to be committed for each of the priorities under the 2014 CEF Transport calls
for proposals.
Structure of the 2014 CEF Transport calls

Under the 2014 CEF Transport calls for proposals, an overall indicative budget of 11.93 billion has been made
available to co-fund TEN-T projects, out of which 4 billion for projects in Member States eligible for the Cohesion
Fund.
Five calls have been launched in 2014, in line with the funding objectives and priorities defined in the respective
work programmes:
Three calls for the MAP, one per funding objective
One call dedicated to the Cohesion Fund countries under the MAP
One call for the AP, addressing all three funding objectives

Key elements of proposals received under the 2014 CEF Transport calls for
proposals
Proposals submitted and evaluated
The 2014 CEF Transport calls were published on 11 September 2014 and closed on 3 March 2015. A total of 735
proposals were received electronically in response to the calls, of which 699 were deemed admissible (presented
in due time and form). Of these, 681 were declared eligible (meeting all formal criteria requested in the call) and
were subsequently evaluated by external experts.
181 of the eligible proposals addressed the EU and transport priorities set out in the 2014 AP. 500 proposals were
deemed eligible, addressing the EUs transport priorities set out in the 2014 MAP, of which 421 under the general
envelope and 79 under the Cohesion envelope.

The total amount requested by applicants of the eligible proposals under the 2014 Multi-annual calls was 25.7
billion, of which 19.2 under the general envelope and 6.5 under Cohesion envelope. The total indicative budget
for these calls was 11 billion for all four calls, including 4 billion for the call dedicated to the Cohesion Fund
eligible countries.
Overall, the requested funding for eligible proposals was 2.7 times more than the indicative budget available.
The oversubscription rate was particularly high for the Annual call: 7.5 times more than the indicative budget. The
requested funding for the MAP Funding Objective 1 call, which addresses mostly the pre-identified projects on the
Core Network and its Corridors, was 2.9 times more than the available budget. Under the MAP Cohesion call, the
funding requested was 1.6 times more than the available budget.
The total amount requested by applicants of the eligible proposals under the 2014 Annual call was almost 7
billion, while the total indicative budget for this call was 930 million for all priorities combined.
Under the MAP calls, 44% of eligible proposals addressed works, 34% addressed studies, and 22% were mixed
projects (containing both works and studies). Under the Annual call, 45% of the submitted proposals addressed
works, 44% addressed studies, and 11% were mixed projects. This is an increase on the number of proposals concerning works in relation to the previous programming period - demonstrating the successful progress of projects
through studies financed under the TEN-T programme.
Evaluation and selection process

The evaluation and selection process was carried out in two steps:
1. An external evaluation of proposals was organised by the Innovation and Networks Executive Agency in the period from March to May 2015. The technical appraisal of each proposal
against four blocks of award criteria (relevance, maturity, impact and quality) was made individually by at least three external experts. These experts then discussed each proposal and agreed on a
consensus recommendation for or against funding and on a score for each of the four blocks of criteria.
This evaluation by external experts, which did not take into consideration the budgetary constraints, led to the
8
recommendation under the Multi-Annual calls of 369 proposals representing a total requested funding of 23.2
billion which was 2.1 times more than the available budget. Under the Annual call 83 proposals representing
a total requested funding of 875.3 million were recommended, i.e. 94% of the indicative budget for this call.
The experts therefore recommended for funding a total of 452 proposals, representing twice the indicative
budget of the calls.
2. An internal evaluation panel, chaired by the Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport, and with representatives of the Directorates-General for Regional Policy and for Environment, and the participation
of the Innovation and Networks Executive Agency, reviewed each proposal on the basis of the policy-related criteria mentioned in the final selection process section of the call texts, including EU added value,
CEF objectives and priorities, budgetary constraints, compliance with EU environmental law, programming
under the European Structural and Investment Funds and the need to adjust certain costs or activities.
Given the budgetary constraints, the internal evaluation panel decided to focus the funding available first on
major cross-border projects and then on projects addressing the main bottlenecks of the 9 TEN-T multimodal
Core Network Corridors, as well as on horizontal priorities such as ERTMS. Moreover, a horizontal cut of the funding for 2020 was applied across all project proposals submitted under priorities 1 and 2 (projects on the Core
Network Corridors and other Core Network sections) of the MAP Funding Objective 1 call (general envelope).
One proposal which was negatively evaluated by external experts was nonetheless positively reviewed during
the internal evaluation, in light of new information confirming the maturity of the action and its high political relevance in using transport infrastructure to support the EUs objective of energy security of supply. This
proposal was thus recommended for funding.
Results of the evaluation

At the end of the evaluation, 276 proposals, totalling more than 13 billion in EU support, were recommended for
funding.

CEF funding for the selected proposals surpassed the indicative budget of the calls by more than 1 billion. The
budget of the calls was thus increased, using the flexibility to adjust the indicative budget by up to 20% provided
for in the respective work programmes. Additional funding was brought forward from the future years of the
programme as well as from transfers between over- and under-subscribed funding objectives of the MAP and
Annual calls.
Selected proposals covered all project types, with 105 proposals for studies, 110 proposals for works and 61
proposals combining the two types.

The proposed Action comprises a package of implementation measures for parts

of the construction work of the Koralm Railway line, a new 127 km long
Recommended funding:
continuously electrified line connecting Graz - Klagenfurt. The existing railway line
Recommended total eligible
that crosses the Alps is dominated by tight radiuses and steep gradients. The
191 930 423
costs:
works foresee the excavation of the 32.9 km long Koralm Tunnel, as the centre
57 579 127 piece of this new line, as well as shorter tunnels to consistently establish a
physical rail infrastructure in the Alpine crossings that meets modern European
Recommended EU support:
30.00% standards and is intended primarily to enable the operation of high-performance
rail services.
Evaluation Remarks
The proposed Action in its reduced scope is very relevant. It has a high European added-value as it aims to remove an existing
bottleneck on a pre-identified section of a Core Network Corridor. The Action is highly mature. All activities submitted in the
application have received necessary approvals, including the Environmental Impact Assessment. The Action will have a very
good impact; it is indispensable for fast, frequent, high quality services connecting several Member States. The quality is v ery
good.

Economically viable transport services on the Danube are dependent on stable

fairway conditions. The proposed Action is located along the Danube pre-identified
section of the Rhine-Danube Corridor. It aims to accelerate the removal of
bottlenecks, upgrade the Danube to achieve stable navigation conditions, procure
646 322
the necessary equipment to carry out pilots for hydrological services and elaborate
323 161 coordinated national road maps. Fairway Danube consists of 7 actions (Austria,
Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia). These Actions will be
50.00% coordinated by Austria. It is part of the Global Project on the implementation of the
Danube Master Plan signed by all riparian Danube countries (except Hungary) in
December 2014. It consists of studies, investigations and pilot actions to collect
the necessary information to allow the identification of physical bottlenecks to be
removed at a later stage.
Evaluation Remarks
The proposed Action in its reduced scope is very relevant as it aims to identify the necessary future works to remove existing
bottlenecks in all the riparian countries of the Danube pre-identified section. The Action's maturity is good as political
commitment is ensured at national and Corridor levels. Its impact is also good as it will foster competitiveness of inland
navigation. The quality of the proposal is good as the activities are clearly described, realistic and consistent.

The Albert Canal is the most important inland waterway in Belgium. It connects
Port of Antwerp and the Scheldt with the Meuse River in Lige. The objective of the
Action is to remove an inland waterway transport bottleneck by upgrading the
canal to CEMT class VI as the rest of the waterway. The Action is the last phase of
185 554 000
costs:
a Global Project aiming to upgrade the whole Albert Canal as a major shipping
74 221 600 route. In previous phases, 28 bridges have been raised and parts of the canal have
already been widened. The Action consists of works to lift 32 bridges to 9.1 m
40.00% (either through elevation or reconstruction) and widen the waterway in specific
sections between Antwerp and Wijnegem. The overall benefit of the Action will be
to enable the transport of 4 layers of containers and navigation of class VIb ships
on the whole length of the Albert Canal.
Evaluation Remarks
The Action in its reduced scope is highly relevant as it aims to eliminate two important bottlenecks on the pre-identified
section Albert Canal located on the North Sea-Mediterranean corridor. The project is mature as some activities have started or
are about to start. The project will have a solid impact in terms of efficiency gains, travel time benefits and favourable modal
shift for inland waterway transport. The overall proposal is of very good quality in terms of its logic, completeness and clarity.

The Dortmund-Ems-Kanal (DEK) is a 269-kilometre long canal in Germany, opened

in 1899 to reduce demand on the railway network. The action is about the
replacement of bridges and culverts in the section of Muenster. The Action is a preidentified project of the core network corridor North Sea - Baltic, Berlin 21 522 100
Twentekanaal section and it is part of a Global Project previously supported by the
4 304 420 EC on the development of the Western German canals. The upgrade will improve
the connection between the ARA seaports and Berlin/Poland. Larger vessels with
20.00% larger loaded draft will be able to use this stretch more efficiently. While inland
navigation will gain importance, CO2 emissions caused by the transport of freight
will be reduced. The end of these works is planned for end of 2022. Due to the
time limitation of the funding period to 2020, the application includes only
activities which fall entirely within this funding period.

The current rail-road terminal is located in a central urban

area and its facilities are outdated, thus becoming a
bottleneck. The Global Project aims to plan and construct a
modern, multifunctional cargo handling terminal in ViennaInzersdorf. The Action covers the railway construction at the
new intermodal cargo platform. It is located on the preidentified section Wien-Ravenna of the Baltic Adriatic
corridor. It is also at the crossroad of three Corridors (BalticAdriatic, Rhine-Danube, and Orient/East - Mediterranean). It
includes the expansion of the operation tracks, the
construction of areas for the combined cargo traffic (CCT-1)
and wagon load traffic (WLT-1) and the integration of the
S1 expressway. The Action will contribute to decongestion,
improve service quality and increase safety and
interoperability on the network.

Enns, Austria's third largest public port along the Danube,

has reached its maximum capacity, which constitutes a
significant bottleneck along the Rhine-Danube Corridor. The
Action forms part of a Global Project aiming to develop Enns
port into a trimodal terminal and to support European deep
sea ports by providing a gateway terminal to serve the
transit cargo. It is the first phase of the Global Project and
aims at modernisation and expansion of the existing port
terminal by constructing a high frequency rail container
terminal operating three gantry cranes, construction of rail
infrastructure, extra container storage areas and a modern
docking cross docking system. The Action will contribute to
enhancement of the competitiveness of inland waterway
transport and will foster the use of more environmentallyfriendly transport modes.
Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The proposal's relevance is excellent since it concerns the

railway construction at a new intermodal cargo platform
on a pre-identified section of a Core Network Corridor. The
Action is very mature since it has already started. The
Action's impact is very good, because the Action will have
positive socioeconomic effects related to the decongestion
of urban areas. The overall proposal is of excellent quality.
The proposed Action has not been retained for funding
due to budgetary constraints despite its high EU added
value.
The Action is very relevant, as it is located on a Core

Network inland port on a Core Network Corridor. It is very
mature, already at an advanced stage of planning and
with secured financial support. It will have an impact on
increasing the port's capacity, however, an increase in port
storage has been insufficiently considered. The quality is
good but there are inconsistencies in the information
provided. The proposed Action has not been retained for
funding due to budgetary constraints despite its overall
good contribution to the Call's objectives.

The applicant is a private railway company conducting

cross-border freight transport throughout the Netherlands,
Belgium and Germany. The proposed Action aims at
upgrading 10 of their class 66 locomotives from the ETCS
Baseline 2.3.0d to Baseline 3 to make use of dynamic
border transitions. This increased interoperability would
allow for greater use of ETCS routes and simplify crossborder operations between the said Member States on the
Rhine - Alpine Corridor. The Action comprises two activities:
Development of software confirming to the ERTMS Baseline
3 guidelines; Installing the said software on 10 locomotives.
Through the development of the new software, the Action
can assist in the gradual achievement of an interoperable
rail network, increase freight capacity possibilities and allow
for a more enhanced use of ERTMS.
Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The relevance of the proposed Action is excellent. It

addresses bottlenecks elimination and development of
inland waterway infrastructure on the North SeaMediterranean Corridor. The maturity of the proposed
Action is weak. Most preparatory procedures are not yet
completed. The impact of the proposed Action is good.
Proposed works improve the modal shift towards inland
waterways by providing larger waterway capacity. The
quality of the proposed Action is weak as it lacks clarity.
The proposed Action is very relevant to the TEN-T

objectives and priorities of the Call. It would have a
positive impact, positively contributing to interoperability
and safety. The Action's maturity is weak. There are risks
for the timely completion due to unclear technical details
of the current status of the locomotives and of the scope
of the signed contract. Quality of the proposal is low as
essential information, requested in the text of the call, is
missing, as well as detailed descriptions of the activities
to achieve the expected deliverables.

The Port Authority of Cartagena is one of the most

important Spanish trade ports, located on the Mediterranean
Core network corridor. Since 2000, major extension works
have been carried out in the basin of Escombreras, the
industrial port of Cartagena. The extension causes a
considerable traffic increase mainly for solid and liquid
bulks. It is considered to give the new port terminals direct
rail access, to increase efficiency and co-modality and to
reduce emissions for solid bulk transports. Construction
works for the railway connection have begun, divided in 4
sections. The proposed Action concerns works of Section I,

The Action will provide the terminal with a new RO-RO ramp,
which is needed for the establishment of new MoS lines in
order to increase maritime freight transport. High quality
MoS services to shipping companies and transport operators
will support Gijon as a gateway of Iberian Peninsula MoS
traffics to the North of Europe. The multimodal nature of
the port will allow for optimising transport efficiency and
quality. It will make the port more competitive by increasing
the railway participation share in land freight transport, and
by reducing the carbon footprint and consuming fossil fuel,

procedures are described in generic terms and the
application contains some inconsistencies.
The relevance of the Action is fair, however the activities

are related to only part of a pre-identified section and
encompass largely maintenance works. EU added value is
low and maturity is fair. It is not clear if public

The proposed Action aims at the construction of the

platform for a new rail access to Terminal T1 of Barcelona
Airport and its connection with the Spanish rail network. It
contributes to the Mediterranean corridor Core Network. The
Action is part of a Global Project that intends to complete
the rail link to the Airport. It comprises platform
construction, tunnelling, building of shafts and galleries,
environmental measures and other complementary
activities. The Action addresses a missing link and promotes
intermodal integration. It is expected to ensure a
considerable modal shift from road to rail with consequent
savings in terms of travel time, costs and emissions.

The proposed Action concerns studies and a pilot action to

develop and validate an innovative train inspection system.
This system will be based on a gantry, modular and
adaptable architecture that collects real-time information
from the different sub-systems. The activities will cover a
feasibility study, pilot deployment and an assessment study,
as well as feedback and dissemination. The results of the
Action will contribute to increased safety and
interoperability of the railway network through real-time
sharing of technical data for train inspections.
Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The relevance is excellent, as it addresses a missing link

and promotes intermodal transport. The maturity is
excellent, since prior phases of planning and design have
occurred. It will have a significant impact, as
demonstrated by a solid CBA; however, given its inherent
profitability it is unclear why a PPP funding instrument
was not used. The quality is excellent as it demonstrates
technical soundness. However, the proposed Action has
not been retained for funding due to budgetary
constraints.
The Action is relevant, as it contributes to interoperability

of the rail network. It is mature and its impact, as a
decision-making tool, is good. The proposal is of a good
quality. Nevertheless, the Action does not fully comply
with provisions of Directives 2012/34/EC and 2004/49/EC
concerning clear separation of responsibilities, as the
parameters regarding the infrastructure would be
measured by the rail undertaking, whereas the
infrastructure manager is liable to maintain the railway
infrastructure. The EU added value is low.

Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The relevance of the Action is weak. It plans to alleviate a

road bottleneck by providing alternative transport means,
but the activities are not in line with the Call priorities. It
demonstrates a very good level of maturity and is ready
for implementation. The Action has a low impact even
though it may be used as a decision-making tool, as the
link between the Action and the implementation of the
Global Project is not demonstrated. The overall quality is
weak: the duration and budget are overestimated and the
split of responsibilities among the partners is unclear.
The relevance of the Action is only fair as it does not

sufficiently address the specific objectives of the Call. The
maturity is good as a number of activities can start
immediately after the funding. Its impact is good since
activities can be used for some stakeholders as a decision
making tool. Nevertheless, the quality of the proposal is
only fair as the interrelationships between the activities
are not sufficiently demonstrated.

With the arrival of the South Europe Atlantic high speed line,
its potential extension to Toulouse and Spain, and the
development of regional express and freight trains, traffic is
likely to grow on Paris-Bordeaux-Hendaye axis. It is
essential for Bordeaux to have an efficient rail network but
trains run on one track per direction creating a bottleneck in
the north of Bordeaux station. The proposed Action aims at
eliminating the bottleneck by doubling the rail track. It is
part of a Global Project relieving congestion at the Bordeaux
railway hub (3 phases). It consists of Phase 2 works for
doubling the track between Benauge station and the branch
to Cenon, including major structural and civil engineering
works. In the long term, the Action should foster
development of rail freight and passenger transport and
boost public transport.

The Baltic-Adriatic Corridor connects the Adriatic ports of

Trieste and Venice with the Alpine passes and is therefore
an important Italian route for international freight. The
proposed Action aims to adapt the main freight railway lines
and to overcome the bottlenecks in the "last mile"
connections. It will eliminate the barriers currently entailed
in the access to the Tarvisio Pass and improve railway
connections with the Core Port of Trieste. Furthermore, it
addresses the completion of the new Udine Hub. The Action
will increase the capacity at Trieste Campo Marzio Station
and will allow 750 m long freight modules on the TarvisioVenice/Trieste itinerary. Once completed, the Action will
strengthen rail freight transport along the Baltic-Adriatic
Corridor also by bypassing the centre of Udine.

The Action's relevance is excellent as it is a pre-identified

project in the CEF-Regulation. The maturity is weak as
critical permits still need to be granted and works partly
depend on studies within the Action. Also, the timetable
for procurement is very tight. The impact is very good as a
significant optimisation of transport flows in and around
Livorno is expected. The quality is weak, as risk
management and justification of costs lack detail.
The Action is of excellent relevance as it aims to remove

two major bottlenecks. Its maturity is good. Though some
of the activities are already ongoing, the works depend on
the outcomes of the studies and there is a risk of delays.
The impact of the Action is good. The quality is good as
the objectives are clearly described and coherent with the

The Domodossola-Novara section is situated on one of the

principal goods routes in Italy. The Global Project aims to
ensure that rail lines and systems are in conformity with
European standards and thereby create the infrastructural
requirements to render rail freight transport more
competitive, by reducing transport costs for rail companies
and therefore promoting modal distribution in favour of rail
transport. The Action foresees two activities, one of which is
the preparation of definitive plans for the adaptation of the
line and the second that aims to extend some of the track
systems to allow the circulation of trains of up to 750 m
and extend the station tracks to allow junction and priority
manoeuvres.

traffic. The Action is part of the Global Project High
Speed/High Capacity Terzo Valico dei Giove Line. It focuses
on complementing and strengthening the railway
infrastructure between Liguria, Piedmont and Lombardy.
The Activities are: Construction of the line track beds in
Arquata and Serravalle; Construction of the Pozzolo artificial
tunnel and the natural Valico tunnel; Completion of the
North entrance of the Serravalle tunnel. In the long term,
the Action will contribute to reduce travel time for

Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
Covering the Call's priority to remove bottlenecks, the

Action is very relevant. It is very mature, as political
support is demonstrated and several works have started.
The impact is very good, as several socio-economic
benefits are expected and are supported by Cost Benefit
Analyses. Though the overall quality is good, possible risks
were not fully identified, especially considering the nature
of the works (earthworks, tunnels, etc.). The Action has not
been retained for funding due to budgetary constraints
despite its high EU added value.
The Action's relevance is good as the railway node

concerned is located on a pre-identified section of a Core
Network Corridor. The maturity is poor since it is only
partly ready to start from a technical point of view. There
are major pending risks (e.g. delays because of the final
reconfiguration of the general plan). The foreseen works
depend on the results of the study. The impact is very
good. With significant weaknesses in terms of clarity and
consistency, the Action does not address sufficiently the
quality criterion.

Trieste Port is located at the intersection between shipping

routes and the Baltic-Adriatic and Mediterranean Corridors.
It is a Core Port and an international hub. Larger ships are
becoming more and more characteristic for cargo transport
between the Far East and Europe. Although Quay VII has a
natural depth of 18 metres, Trieste Port is currently not able
to handle several container ships. Therefore, the proposed
Action, part of the Global Port Development Plan, aims to
widen by 20 metres the north side of Quay VII, to lengthen
the maritime structure by approximately 800 metres, and to
extend the dockyards by around 32 hectares. With the
extension of the Quay the market demand for operations
with increasingly larger ships will be met. It will bolster the
existent infrastructure and make it more efficient.

a Core Network Corridor. The proposed study includes the
final design of capital dredging works as well as a Cost
Benefit analysis for the reorganisation of the port areas and
the improvement of intermodal facilities. Moreover, it
includes the final design of a road hinterland connection. In
the long term, the implementation of the capital dredging

The relevance of the Action is weak as the expansion of a

cargo terminal is not covered by the Call. As the applicant
is under concession for a long period, the fund would
provide a selective advantage to a particular operator. The
main strength is the good maturity. Nonetheless, activities
related to works depend on the studies within the Action.
The impact is poor, as the need for the extension is not
sufficiently demonstrated. The economic impact is not
convincing. The quality of the proposal is weak as it does
not foresee a sound management plan.
The Action is very relevant to TEN-T priorities. It is mature

to be started and implemented from a technical and
administrative point of view. However, insufficient
information has been provided with regard to the

The Utrecht-Arnhem section is included in a pre-identified

project of the North Sea-Baltic Corridor. The ICE service
Amsterdam-Frankfurt as well as rail freight trains from Port
of Amsterdam to Germany run through this section. The
main remaining bottleneck on this section is near
Driebergen-Zeist station. The proposed Action aims to
eliminate the bottleneck and increase capacity, safety and
reliability of services. It includes the construction of an extra
rail track, renewal/relocation of current tracks and
construction of a tail track for local trains. The Action

Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The Action is very relevant. It is located in the Core Port of

Rotterdam on three Corridors. It promotes the use of
alternative and low or zero carbon energy sources and
propulsion systems. The Action is very mature. However,
the impact of the Action on the maritime sector is too
limited: the ship-to-ship loading facility will only provide a
stated maximum capacity of 2-5 vessel transhipments per
year, which is at best a very marginal impact. The quality
of the Action is very good in terms of completeness,
clarity and coherence.
The Action has good relevance, as a pre-identified project

on the Core Network and relevant to the TEN-T priorities.
Nevertheless, its demonstrated relevance to the Call
priorities is limited. The Action is not sufficiently mature:
though funding and approval is secured, a significant
uncertainty is whether environmental studies are required.
The Action's impact is good. The quality of the proposed
action is weak. The general project management
structures and procedures are adequate, but the
application lacks substantiation.

The planned ERTMS rollout requires drivers and associated

personnel to be trained in the usage and maintenance of
ETCS. This Action aims at providing this by designing and
developing a collaborative industry resource and people
capability development program which is tailored to the
trainees' occupation. The Action consists of one activity:
ETCS Trains Training - Needs Analysis, Specification, Design
& Development. In creating a training program, the Action
will help enable the personnel operating the technology and
thus assist the deployment of ETCS in the UK. The lessons

The Action aims to reduce journey times and increase

capacity on the main Edinburgh to Glasgow route. It is
located along the pre-identified section Glasgow-Edinburgh
of the North-Sea Mediterranean Core Network Corridor. The
Action is the initial phase of the rail enhancement project
"the Edinburgh - Glasgow Improvement Programme" of the
Scottish government. It aims to improve the connectivity and
strengthen the economy of the two cities. It will also
enhance multimodal connections with Edinburgh Airport and
accessibility to Scottish core ports. The Action relates to the
electrification of the 68 km long railway line EdinburghGlasgow via Falkirk High route together with a number of
other infrastructure and station improvement activities. It
will contribute to economic connectivity, reducing road
congestion and the CO2 emissions on the route.

The relevance of the Action is only fair because it does

not comply with the essential conditions of the Call. The
maturity is very good as the implementation has already
started. The impact is also good as the Action harmonises
the training programme for the different railway
undertakings. However, the quality is fair because of a
lack of detail in the proposal and inadequate justification
of the costs.
The relevance of the Action is good since it addresses a

bottleneck on a pre-identified section of the North Sea

will cover the following activities: Analysis of existing ITSs
for inland waterway vessels (IWV); Berth detection for IWV;
Detection at arrival and departure cross sections;
Establishment of a web portal to submit arrival and
departure notices for IWV entering and leaving the Port of
Hamburg; Development of an ITS strategy for IWV;

low technical maturity. The impact of the Action is weak,
as it is limited to a small area yet with positive
environmental and navigational safety outcomes. The
quality of the Action is good, coherent, with realistic

The Action consists of studies and pilot deployment of a new

transport system of liquid (chemical) goods by train, and
aims at increasing the competitiveness of rail
transportation. Promoted by a private company (chemical
industry), the system is based on the principle of uncoupling
the wagon from the tank module. This will increase the
utilization of the wagons on the main leg (increased
frequency), augment the efficiency of terminal procedures
(automation of cranes), enable interim storage of the tank
module (without blocking the wagon) and finally automate
first and last-mile processes (with automated guided
vehicles - AGV). The action will be deployed on the RhineAlpine corridor, Antwerp - Mannheim/Ludwigshafen section.
Based on results and lessons learnt from this action, the
system will be deployed on a large scale (at EU level).

European goal of shifting road freight, the new CT System is
compatible with all semi-trailers on the market, hence
providing a solution for the semi-trailers which currently
cannot be used with crane based CT solutions, which is the
majority at the moment. The objectives of the new system
are to increase the efficiency and flexibility of the
transhipment process and the terminals, minimise external
costs of transport, enable transhipment on electrified lines,
enhance efficient interoperability through automated rail
gauge transhipment, enable the transportation of 4m high
semi-trailers on routes with height limitations and offer a
high service quality with competitive pricing.

thus favour a modal shift from road to rail for temperaturecontrolled freight on the Core Network, and the
Mediterranean Core Network Corridor. This will contribute to

increase transport security.
Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The proposal is very relevant, addressing call priorities.

Maturity is very good, as the applicant has completed
earlier project phases. Impact and quality are good, but EU
added value is not clearly demonstrated. More
quantitative information on impact and targets for
improvement of the transport situation should have been
provided and support from other MS and stakeholders
secured to ensure Europe-wide harmonisation of the
technology. The Action has not been retained for funding
due to its relatively lower EU added value.
The relevance of the Action is below the minimum

threshold as no EU added value is demonstrated. Its
maturity is not satisfactory. No political commitment has
been ensured and information about the technology is not

impact, notably because it is not envisaged to develop any
business models. As such, it is unlikely to be scaled up at
European level. The quality of the Action suffers from
serious weaknesses, as the completeness and clarity of

system on an island. Ultimately this is expected to generate
a positive impact on the environment as it will support the
modal shift from road to rail, considering that the most
populated areas are located to the north and south of the

Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The Action is very relevant. Its potential EU added value is

demonstrated even though it is not market-oriented. The
maturity is weak and the viability of Maglev technology
compared to other alternatives is not demonstrated. The
Action focusses on Maglev technology only without
planning any benchmark of other options based on
mobility need analysis. The impact is good however noise
pollution is not compared with other transport solutions.
The Action's quality is low. Mitigating measures are
inadequate and project management costs are high.
The proposed action is very good in terms of relevance

and maturity. It will enhance freight flows across borders.
Stakeholders are committed. A framework agreement is
signed between main public entities of Spain and
Portugal. The impact of the Action is good since it has
broad significance in economic terms for both countries
and could have a knock-on effect. The quality of the
proposed action is very good. It is described in a precise

Evaluation Remarks
The proposed Action is relevant to the call text. However,

the European added value is not sufficiently
demonstrated. The Action is mature as it consists mainly
of feasibility studies. The impact is good as well as the
quality of the proposal. However, the total budget has not
been fully justified with a cost breakdown per sub-activity.
due to its relatively lower EU added value in comparison
to other Actions and the fact that its innovative aspects
were not justified and convincing enough.
The Action is very relevant. It addresses physical, technical

and functional barriers to the deployment of CNG on the
gas network. It is very mature. The impact is good since
implementing this Action would have a leverage effect on
the Irish island and possibly attract private funding.
However, criteria to select the location for the stations are
not defined. The quality of the Action is weak. Its project
management structure is unclear in terms of decision
making process. Moreover, the Action lacks the

The usage of Electric Vehicles (EV) for longer trips is

hampered today by both the scarcity of fast chargers and
the time needed to recharge. The Action, a study including a
pilot deployment covering three Core Network Corridors in
five EU Member States, will create a breakthrough in this
situation by introducing semi-fast chargers which will be
used at destination in transport hubs, business areas, hotels,
when the end user is not anymore on his way. The study will
elaborate on potential positive business models, aiming at
accelerating the introduction of semi-fast chargers and EV
in the EU. A widespread network of semi-fast chargers at
attractive locations will facilitate many long-distance EV
trips and is a critical addition to the network of fast
chargers under development.

Reducing administrative burden linked to customs clearance

procedures and border controls is crucial for the maritime
transport network. The Action's goal is to set up a Port
Community System (PCS) between a port node on the Core
Network and partners in third countries. By creating customs
simplification through data exchange international trade
barriers will be reduced. Livorno (Italy), a core port on the
Scandinavian-Mediterranean Corridor, and Alexandria
(Egypt) will serve as a test bed for the pilot. The study will
include: stakeholder consultation, high level specifications
and final design of the PCS, test pilot & business case
analysis, and training of port community stakeholders. The
Action will have a positive impact on maritime traffic
management. It also supports the National Single Windows
development and will serve as a best practice.
Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The Action's relevance to TEN-T priorities and the Call

objectives is limited. The Action does not show that it will
support the development of standardised and publicly
accessible infrastructure. The Action is ready to go but
lacks clarifications on environmental assessment and
building permits. Its positive impact is not well
demonstrated. The quality is fair - the Action cannot be
considered as a study with pilot deployment but rather as
a wide infrastructure roll-out.
The Action is relevant as it is a project of common interest

and addresses the e-freight priority. The maturity is very
good as political approvals, commitments and support
were provided in Italy and Egypt. The Action has a positive
impact in terms of improving maritime traffic
management and socio-economic benefits. The quality is
good in terms of completeness and clarity but the pilot
description lacks clarity. The Action has not been retained
for funding due to budgetary constraints and its relatively
lower EU added value compared to other Actions.

This Action consists of demonstrating the feasibility of an

energy and environmentally friendly technology to reduce
air pollution from ships, in line with the legislation by the
International Maritime Organisation: a primarily wind-based
hybrid cargo ship. The prototype will sail transcontinental
routes. Resultant technical and operational data will allow
beneficiaries to demonstrate economic feasibility and will
greatly advance the Global Project of building 15 second
generation sailing cargo ships. Activities include: technical
planning and design; ship construction; demonstration and
evaluation; action management and dissemination. In the
long term, the action will contribute to the de-carbonisation
of maritime transportation whilst providing a transport
mode inelastic to future fuel price development.

The Action, a study including a pilot deployment in

Barcelona (Spain) and Versailles-Satory (France), aims at
investigating and demonstrating to potential stakeholders,
including vehicle manufacturers and end users, the
advantages of key innovative technologies of road transport
automation for last-mile transport services in terms of
technical, economical and legal aspects. The study and
pilots are concentrated on two urban nodes of the TEN-T
network, which are connected by three Core Network
Corridors (North Sea-Mediterranean, Atlantic and
Mediterranean). The Action contributes to decarbonisation,
telematics, safe and secure movement of persons,
complementarity with mass transit and multimodal
integration.
Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The Action is relevant to the Call priorities. It addresses

innovation and reduction of CO2 and oil dependency, but
has no impact on Core Network Corridors. Its maturity is
fair. Necessary approvals have been obtained but it does
not include the latest technology. The impact is fair. The
business plan for further larger-scale deployment is overoptimistic and replication for short sea shipping in Europe
is not demonstrated. The quality is good. Visibility of the
EU funding is reasonable but relationships between some
activities lack clarity.
The Action's relevance is limited, as it does not address

the Call priorities. The maturity is fair, considering that the
mobility system with automated vehicles is in the early
stages of development. The impact is low, with no
definitive and replicable outcomes for the medium/long
term. The proposal fails to demonstrate that it would
deliver an adequate implementation framework or be a
benchmark for future roll-out. The quality is good. The
Action is clearly described and planned activities are
coherent with the objectives.

National Real-Time Traveller Information Service (RTTIS)

providers typically operate in geographic and linguistic
isolation. Significant part of road users within any Member
State are foreign drivers who do not speak the country's
language, thus national RTTIS service cannot easily reach
them. The objective of MORENA is to provide a robust
solution through deployment of innovative language
technology in five languages. As a result, travellers will be
able to receive traffic information via an internet-based
service delivered to their mobile devices spoken to them in
their mother tongue. This regional pilot may be scaled up to
a pan-European level and can be embedded in GNSS based
navigation systems. Multilingual RTTIS will give an enhanced
driving experience and enable drivers to plan their journey,

the Call priorities by contributing to the deployment of a
sustainable and efficient transport system. It shows a
weak maturity level as no building permits have been
requested. The technical maturity is low. The Action will
have a good impact on policy making and best practices,
including international technical standards and regulatory

The Action contributes to TEN-T and CEF priorities and

broadly addresses the objectives of the Call. The Action
presents an innovative way to deliver real-time traffic

However, the Action does not explain how it will bring
added value compared to existing navigation solutions
which also support drivers in their own language across

7 dredgers with LNG fuels to lower greenhouse gas
emission and support LNG supply. It consists of the pilot
retrofitting of one of the dredgers which operates on the
estuaries of the Seine and Loire rivers in France, for the core
ports of Le Havre and Saint Nazaire. It encompasses design
studies, the purchase and the installation of LNG engines
and equipment, as well as a training activity for the crew.

The Nantes-Angers railway line is a conventional doubletrack line heavily used, including by high-speed trains, and is
important for the development of the Region "Pays de la
Loire". This section is virtually at saturation point at peak
times. The proposed Action aims to increase its capacity
without constructing extra tracks, which is complex, costly,
and vitually impossible in the very restrictive environmental
context between Nantes and Angers. The Action aims to
improve the reliability on this section in making
infrastructure safer through preventing the occurrence of
incidents, or remedying incidents more rapidly. This will be
done through remote monitoring of the line, remote control
of the signal box at La Possonnire and re-dividing
permanent counter flow installation lengths between
Ancenis and Sainte-Luce.
Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The relevance of the Action to the call is fair. It does not

directly support any of the TEN-T priorities although it will
contribute to decarbonize port operations. The maturity of
the Action is good. It has started and no major obstacles
are foreseen. The impact of the Action is fair as no details
are provided on the use of the Action's results as best
practices or policy making tool. A study to analyse the
results is also missing and no dissemination is planned.
The quality of the Action is poor as necessary details are
missing in a number of areas.
The relevance of the Action is poor, since it adresses

topics outside the scope of the Call. The maturity of the
Action is low. There is no formal approval yet, the related
CPER (State-Region Planning Contract) has not yet been
approved and no development consent has yet been
given. The Action has a poor impact. The quality is poor. It
lacks clarity and completeness, is insufficiently detailed

The modal split for freight transport between Spain and

France is uneven: 97% of freight is carried by road. Yearly,
more than 3 million trucks pass the frontier at Biriatou (FR).
As part of the Global Project "Voie Ferroviaire Atlantique",
the Action aims to redress the modal split by shifting road
to rail and establishing a regular railway service via the
Atlantic and the Mediterranean Corridors between Dourges
(Lille) and Tarnos (Bayonne). The solution is based on the
UIC Lohr wagon allowing fast load/unload of trailers from
the wagons. It will make the rail motorway service
accessible to all semi-trailers, set up an EU level rail
motorway system and demonstrate its feasibility to attract
private operators. It will make the necessary adaptations to
both railroad terminals and test pilot operations during the
first year of operations.

The proposed Action concerns a grant scheme that supports

the development of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) for road
transport in Ireland along TEN-T Core and Comprehensive
Networks. No specific locations have yet been identified as
they will depend on the applications to the scheme. Current
infrastructure will be used whilst establishing new
connections that will increase the flow of gas through the
network. Infrastructure costs will be financed by the grant
scheme up to 50% of the project value. The fleet operator
must also invest into the development of a CNG fleet. The
scheme will prove the viability of CNG as a transport fuel in
Ireland and support the conversion of transport operators
from oil based fuels to CNG. It is considered as an incentive
to convert to CNG, which will in turn increase demand for
CNG vehicles.

The proposed Action covers the development and testing of

the first Italian Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) refuelling
station dedicated to heavy-duty motor vehicles only. It will
be located in North-Central Italy, along the existing TEN-T
Core Network. The Study aims to develop national standards
and safety legislation and to define the best practices for
site selection for such infrastructure by identifying key
parameters to be considered. The objective is to define a
multi-annual work plan for the development of a network of
LNG refuelling stations in Italy, mainly dedicated to heavyduty motor vehicles for which alternatives to diesel are
currently limited. The results of the test phase will be
shared with all stakeholders.

Stricter ship emission limits for Sulphur, Carbon dioxide and

Nitro oxides are increasingly entering into force. Additionally,
the use of alternative fuels in the transport sector is
encouraged. In order to develop the Italian Network of
Infrastructures for Alternative Fuels (GAIN-IT Network),
Italian Core Ports have to define which Liquefied Natural
Gas (LNG) refuelling infrastructure will be deployed. The
proposed study will prototype and test the components for
three pilot LNG grids. It will implement two LNG station
prototypes in the Core Network Ports of Genoa (LNG
bunkering) and Livorno (storage and local distribution).
Based on the results, the deployment on the whole Italian
network is envisaged. It is part of the Global Project GAIN-IT.
Five related proposals were submitted under the Call.
Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The Action is relevant since it addresses the

decarbonisation of road transport by introducing and
testing an LNG refuelling station for heavy-duty vehicles.
Nevertheless, the maturity is fair because the pilot site
has not yet been selected and relevant authorisations
have not been granted. The impact of the proposed action
is low since no real life trial is integrated in the pilot and,
therefore, no data will be available on its operation. The
quality is fair, since the proposal lacks important
information.
The proposed Action's relevance is very good as it

contributes to the TEN-T priorities and has an added value
for the EU. It shows a good maturity level because the
technology used was already assessed under a previous
EU co-founded project. However, the impact is low
because objectives are not sufficiently detailed and
impacts are not quantified. The quality is fair, since the
budget allocations lack clarity and the interdependencies
between the different proposals of the Global Project are
not sufficiently explained.

Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The Action's relevance is poor, failing to address the

objectives, priorities and expected results of the Call which
does not focus on airport operations related investments.
The Action's maturity is fair. Though implementation has
started, contracts have not yet been awarded. The impact
is good. The study will be used as a decision making tool.
It will also improve air traffic safety and service quality.
Quality of the Action is very good in its logic,
completeness and clarity. The implementation plans are
realistic and consistent from a technical point of view.
Although the proposal is relevant, the Action's maturity is

not satisfactory when it comes to the technology to be
used and the implementation plan. The full commitment
of the planned 40 million Euro investment is not
confirmed. The Action's impact is fair as the transferability
of the outcomes at EU level is limited and the proposal
does not demonstrate the leverage effect the EU funding
will bring. The Action does not meet the quality criterion.
The cost breakdown is not detailed and the activities not
adequately described.

Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The proposed action is relevant as it fits within the Single

European Sky, Category B "Other Projects". The maturity of
the action is good as a preparatory work has been
undertaken by Eurocontrol in cooperation with the A6. The
impact of the Action is considered good in the long run.
The quality of the proposal is very good, the Action being
well structured with an adequate organisational set-up.
However the proposal is not retained for funding due to
budgetary constraints and to its relatively lower EU added
value.
The relevance of the action is good. However, activity 1

and 2 should be in cat. a) of the Call. The proposal is
partly mature as Activity 3 and 4 should await the
recommendations resulting from related on-going studies.
Impact is good because if PENS is successful it could be
the enabler for a large range of applications. However, the
CEA is too generic and future cost-effectiveness depends
on business models applied. The quality of the proposal is
good since the activities are coherent with the objectives
and the budget is realistic.

In the context of the Stuttgart 21 project Stuttgart main

railway station will be converted into a through station
requiring relocation of the central coach terminal, which is
located in an operational area required for the railway
station. A new long-distance coach terminal will be
constructed at Stuttgart airport, thereby supplementing the
airport's intermodal traffic options. The proposed Action
aims to prepare the interlinking of the long-distance coach
terminal with other transport infrastructure and set up a
multimodal passenger information system. The Action
comprises planning and construction measures to integrate
the new coach terminal into the existing and planned
infrastructure at Stuttgart Airport. It is part of the KarlsruheStuttgart-Munich pre-identified section of the Rhine-Danube
Corridor.

Stuttgart airport is a core node located on the pre-identified

section of Karlsruhe-Stuttgart-Munich of the Core Network.
With almost 10 million passengers every year, Stuttgart
airport is an important hub in the traffic system of the
region and Baden-Wurttemberg state. The Action is a part of
the Global Project aiming at improvement of the intermodal
accessibility of Stuttgart airport and the future transport
hub Filder Station and the bus terminal for long distance
services. The study will prepare technical solutions, tender
documentation and documents necessary to obtain all
permits for the future investments related to the
construction of intermodal connections for the Stuttgart
airport. In the long run the Action will contribute to fostering
the use of transport modes which have a lesser
environmental footprint, such as urban rail.

The port of Hamburg is the largest sea port in Germany and

is ranked 14th among world's largest container ports. In
view of the forecast in the trans-shipment volumes, a
functional and adequate road network is necessary to
handle augmented freight traffic. The Action aims at
supporting the reconstruction of the motorway A26, linking
the motorways A7 and A1/A255. It is located on the
Scandinavian-Mediterranean Corridor. The study will deliver
the required documents, designs and approvals on which the
decision making process for the infrastructure investment
will be based on. The A26 is intended to receive long
distance traffic and to ensure a short connection from the
port to the TEN-T network. The implementation of the port
road network will result in another efficient west-east route
with a high bundling effect and traffic efficiency.
Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The Action's relevance is poor. Activities 1 and 3 are not

relevant to the category under which they are submitted.
Activity 2 does not demonstrate necessary coordination
with the Deployment Manager. The maturity is very good
with internal and political support assured. Positive
impacts are expected for reducing costs, increasing
capacity, safety and efficiency without adversely affecting
the environment. The quality is poor. Activity 1 does not
take into account the high risk if certification is not
granted. Risk assessment is inconsistent.
The proposed study supports the construction of the A26

motorway, which is of immediate relevance for the
Hamburg port. The wider context in terms of alternative
routes and other modes is not considered though. The
strength of the proposed study is its good maturity given
the political support at regional and federal level.
However, the claimed significant impacts are not
substantiated. The quality of the proposal is weak due to
its failure to address risks adequately in addition to
contradictory budget figures.

limiting sulphur emissions from ships in the SECA area to
0.1%. This proposed action aims to upgrade with scrubber
technology 25 vessels sailing on various routes along the
North Sea and Baltic Sea corridors. This upgrade greatly
benefits the Global Project of minimising vessels'
environmental impact, thus guaranteeing that the vessels
are able to remain operational whilst complying with more
stringent environmental legislation. The action consists of
the following activities: engineering; purchasing, production
and installation; commissioning and testing; action
management. Successful installation will allow SOx
reductions to take place, offering an economically viable
alternative of complying with EU environmental legislation.
Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The Action is very relevant to the call as will promote the

uptake of LNG as marine fuel. The maturity is fair as
political support was obtained and several activities are
already on-going but important information on maturity is
missing. The impact is fair because there are significant
difficulties to assess it (e.g. technical specifications of the
vessel not described). The quality of the proposal is good
as the project management methodology and
organizational structure are adequate but several
improvements are needed (i.e. weak risk management).
The Action's relevance is poor, as it is not in line with the

priorities and objectives of the Call because it proposes
upgrade of vessels. Maturity is very good, with finalised
engineering works, advanced procurement and a proven
technology. Impact is good as it helps avoid modal-shift
and ensures quality of short sea shipping, but EU cofunding necessity is not demonstrated. Quality is fair, the
objectives and planned activities are coherent and
reasonable, but project organisation, control procedures
and quality management require more detail.

In line with the international requirements on the sulphur

content of marine fuels, this Action aims at validating a
multi-phase light weight scrubber technology on bulk
vessels. The study will be conducted on the Yeoman Bontrup
vessel, which primarily conducts operations in the North Sea
between Scotland and the Netherlands. Activities within the
Action include: Project Management Selection, design and
purchase of the innovative scrubber technology, installation
of the scrubber technology, monitoring and study of the
scrubber technology, study of scrubber residue reception
and processing facilities, integration and dissemination.
Successful completion of the Action will validate a costeffective method of decreasing sulphur and reduce its
emissions, enabling the maritime industry to comply with
environmental legislation.

infrastructure Network. Activities specified in the Action
include: National Policy Frameworks, common approaches,
pilot corridor approaches, communication and coordination,
successful completion of this Action will help harmonise
development of the LNG bunkering infrastructure network in
Italy, Portugal and their surrounding countries.
Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The Action's relevance is fair, as it fails to demonstrate

piloting characteristics of the installed scrubber. The
maturity is good. Implementation is well advanced with
the scrubber's installation but implementation regarding
port facilities depends on preliminary studies and
concession of permit. The impact is fair. Contribution to
emission reduction, especially of NOx, could not be
verified. The quality is fair. Even though generally in line
with the objectives, activities related to scrubber
installation do not provide sufficient technical details.
The Action's relevance is good and in line with the Call but
the focus on Italy and Portugal limit the wider EU benefit.
The maturity is good, and though more detail is required,
it can be considered ready for implementation. The impact
is weak, with the studies not planned to be used as a
decision making tool nor as part of a dissemination plan.
Expected impact will mainly be almost exclusively at
national level. The quality of the proposal is poor, with
vague content and lacking a well-defined scope and
technical specifications.

Spatial expansion is a key priority for the ports of Valencia

and Civitavecchia, key ports in short sea shipping. The Action
includes studies to create a new short shipping line and
corresponding works for a new pier, improving hinterland
connections and implementing ICT technologies. The ports
are part of the core and comprehensive port network
respectively. Their improvement advances the Global Project
of upgrading the port infrastructures and the MoS link.
Activities include: preparatory analysis for the new shipping
line Civitavecchia - Valencia; short-sea infrastructure
upgrading in Civitavecchia; developing ICT for MoS;
integrating hinterland connections with the TEN-T core
network in Civitavecchia; project management. The Action is
expected to increase port handling capacity and the service
level in the MoS link.
Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The relevance of the Action is weak, with only 5 out of the

9 Activities meeting the Call's requirements. The Action's
maturity is poor, with permits not yet obtained, and works
dependant on the execution of studies. Technical
readiness is not demonstrated. The impact of the 5
eligible activities is very good, having a significant
environmental benefit. Quality of the Action is poor,
lacking technical detail, basic design and concept studies.
The proposal fails to demonstrate that all Activities are
coherent with the Actions' objectives.
Although the Action is of a very good quality with positive

impact and good maturity, its relevance to the MoS call is
weak. The establishment of the MoS Link is not certain
and it is dependent on the outcome of a feasibility study
to be elaborated during the Action. Therefore the
proposed investments are not justified as part of the link.
Furthermore, feasibility studies are in general not
supported under the MoS call and there are also serious
environmental issues on the infrastructure side.

The sea-based transport between Kiel (DE) and Klaipeda

(LT) is reliable, frequent and important for the European
freight and passenger flows. The Action aims at upgrading
the MoS link connecting the above TEN-T ports by
lengthening and retrofitting with scrubbers two RoPax ships
and by improving infrastructure in both ports. The Activities
of the Action include: the installation of scrubbers and
lengthening of two ships; adjusting ferry ramp in Kiel port;
upgrading check-in facilities in Klaipeda port; terminal
upgrades including gate operating system; new passenger
bus and terminal tractors. Completion of the Action would
reduce the emissions of ships and would promote
connectivity between the ports of Kiel and Klaipeda,
strengthening therefore via a MoS link the cohesion between
Central and Eastern Europe.

This Action aims at creating a Fresh Produce Supply Chain: a

multi-modal infrastructure route between Southern Spain,
the port of Bilbao and the port of Helsingborg. These ports
are part of the Core and Comprehensive port network

services. Activities include: reefer innovation and hinterland
transport; Arasur Corridor Gateway connection; internal rail
improvements in Bilbao port; container terminal capacity
enhancement; infrastructure improvements in Helsingborg
port; transparency through technology; climate change
study. The Action would lead to a multi-modal connection
between Spain and Scandinavia, helping alleviate the road
traffic congestion in the TEN-T Core Network Corridors.
Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The Action has a good relevance, as it fits a priority of the

MoS Call. The Action's maturity is good, as it already
started. The impact is good. The installation of scrubbers
will have positive environmental impact but the impact of
the ships' lengthening is not properly demonstrated. The
quality of the Action is good in terms of its logic and
completeness but there are some inconsistencies, mainly
related to the schedule and investment costs. The Action
is not retained for funding due to budgetary constraints
and its relatively lower EU added value.
Although the Action is relevant to the priorities of the MoS

Call and very mature, its impact is fair, showing significant
weaknesses. The performed ex-ante evaluation did not
provide any quantified results. In terms of quality the
Action has significant weaknesses. The structure of the
proposal is not fully clear. There is no cross reference on
how each activity will add to the overall objective which is
to upgrade the link. Therefore it is not demonstrated
whether the activities are adequate to achieve the
objective.

The relevance of the Action is fair. The activities proposed

in the ports are not sufficiently relevant to the Call
priorities and the participation of one port is not
demonstrated. The Action has good maturity but some
procurements are still pending. Its impact is weak,
especially because socio-economic effects depend on the
success of the MoS services, which is not sufficiently
established. The Action has weak quality in terms of its
logic, completeness and clarity, as the activities do not
have specific objectives related to the MoS improvement.
The proposal is relevant as it addresses preparatory

studies for a multimodal connection on the Atlantic
Corridor. The Action's maturity is very good as it is ready

Forecasted growth in maritime trade flows is driving

investments into upgrading ports and their hinterland
connections. The proposed twinned study aims at developing
an upgraded MoS service between the core ports of Burgas
(BG) and Gioia Tauro (IT) by analysing and preparing
investments and the related hinterland connections. The
activities of the Action include studies to extend Burgas port
terminal and railway connection and studies to improve
handling capacities and intermodal connections in Gioia
Tauro. Completion of the Action would promote connectivity
between Burgas and Gioia Tauro, therefore strengthening
cohesion between Eastern and Southern Europe.

The Action concerns studies on development of a

comprehensive
information
system
to
enable
communication and transmission of data between operators
and end-users of rail passenger transport, urban public
transport and intercity bus transport. The studies will cover:
development of communication and user interface;
elaboration of modelling tools, algorithms and processing
patterns; pilot operation of the prototype; and assessment
of the results. The outcomes of the Action are expected to
contribute to a more effective management of rail
passenger transport and its coordination with other
passenger transport modes. This will result in a reduction of
inefficient connections and a decrease of CO2 emissions.
Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The Action has weak relevance since it fails to meet the

requirements of the Call. It aims at developing an
upgraded MoS service between two core ports, while the
transport flows are not demonstrated. The maturity of the
proposed action is good, however procurements have not
been concluded yet. Its impact is weak since it does not
demonstrate capacity as a decision making tool nor does
it provide a sound basis for institutional and national
policy-making. The proposal is of weak quality in terms of
logic, completeness and clarity.
Even though the Action is in line with the provisions of the

Call text, its relevance is fair. The scope is limited to the
Czech Republic and focused on passenger rail. Market
orientation, EU added value and involvement of relevant
actors are not sufficiently covered. Technical maturity of
the Action is not properly demonstrated. In terms of
impact, a sound definition of the business model,
outcomes and dissemination are missing. The proposal
lacks detailed information on description of activities,
outcomes and management of the Action.

The Action concerns the electrification of approximately 130

km of railways along the Kaisiadorys-Radviliskis section in
Lithuania. At present, diesel traction is used on this railway
line and the shift to electric traction would reduce
environmental pollution and increase service quality. The
activities of the Action are: i) technical design; ii)
electrification works; iii) technical supervision and iv) design
compliance supervision. Completion of the Action would
improve the environmental performance of this railway
section. Through reduced travel times it would improve the
rail connection to the core port of Klaipeda.

Evaluation Remarks
The relevance of the Action is good as it addresses TEN-T

priorities contributing to the removal of a technological
bottleneck. Its maturity is very good, backed by the
political support and its readiness to start. The impact is
very good, with considerable positive environmental
effects expected following the successful completion. The
quality is good in terms of its logic, completeness and
clarity. The proposed Action has not been retained for
funding due to its limited relevance for CEF funding.
The Action has fair relevance as it is only partly a preidentified project of the North Sea-Baltic Corridor
(Kaisiadorys - Jonava section is not on the Corridor).
Maturity is fair as no contracts are signed and the Action
is not ready to start. The Action is expected to have a
good impact, however economic growth is expected
mainly at regional level. The proposal overall is of fair
quality in terms of its logic, completeness and clarity. The
proposal presents several contradictions, unclear
statements and insufficient information.

Evaluation Remarks
The Action, addressing a pre-identified project, is relevant

under the Call, although the contribution to removing a
bottleneck is not demonstrated. Its maturity is fair, as it is
not demonstrated that funding is secured; furthermore it
will only be possible to implement the works upon
completion of a study. Its impact is fair, showing minimal
effects on travel time, traffic management, congestion,
modal split, interoperability, safety and security. The
quality of the proposal is good, although with
inconsistencies in the activities' plan.
The Action is relevant to the specific call for Cohesion

Funds in the innovation sector, particularly regarding the
deployment of new technologies and decarbonising road
transport. The maturity is weak. It is not ready to start as
the whole business case is not defined. The impact is
weak. The dissemination is not clearly defined. It is also
unclear if any end users have been identified and what
the expected usage of the EV charging points would be.

The Seaport of Gdansk is a key port for both Poland and

Europe due to its strategic geographical location. It is on the
Baltic-Adriatic Core Network Corridor, and the Action is
among the pre-identified projects. The aim of the Action is
to improve the hinterland access to the Outer Port of
Gdansk, as it is currently limited due to the poor railway and
road infrastructures, which cause long transport times and
low level services. The Action is part of a Global Project,
which was already supported by the EU. The proposed Action
includes design and construction works relating to the
railway and the road network connecting to the Outer Port.

improvement of a MoS link between the ports of Hanko and
Gdynia by proposing emission abatement technologies on
two Ro-Ro vessels, combined with efficiency, capacity and
safety measures in the ports. The activities include:
installation of open loop scrubbers and energy efficiency
optimization on two ships; analysis and dissemination of
scrubber wash water's impact on the PL ports; purchase of 4
tugmasters, ex-post pollution study, project management
and dissemination. Completion of the Action could promote
connectivity between the two ports, thus strengthening the

The Action is relevant to the Call as it concerns a preidentified project on the Baltic - Adriatic Core Network
Corridor. The Action is mature, however, while Activities
1-4 are ready to be implemented, Activities 5-8 involve
some pending issues. The impact of the action is good: it
will improve efficiency and interoperability of the transEuropean transport network. The quality of this proposal is
very good, although it could be improved. The proposed
relatively lower priority for CEF funding (road).
The relevance of the Action is weak as the activities

proposed in the ports are not sufficiently relevant to Call
priorities and the participation of one port is not
demonstrated. The Action has good maturity, but some
procurements are still pending. Its impact is weak because
especially socio-economic effects depend on the success
of the MoS services, which is not sufficiently established.
The proposal has weak quality in terms of its logic,
completeness and clarity as the activities do not have
specific objectives related to the MoS improvement.

run in idle mode by around 15% in 2016 and by 32% in the
long run. Thanks to the new technology, DBSR expects to
reduce CO2 emissions by four million kg per year and plans
to retrofit additional existing locomotives throughout Europe
with start-stop systems.

Evaluation Remarks
The relevance of the Action is weak as it does not concern

a cross-border section and does not address the priorities
of the Call. The Action is highly mature. The approval
procedure was completed and necessary financial
resources were committed by the national government.
The impact is good and will have positive direct and
indirect socio-economic effects, such as improved traffic
flows, savings in travel time and operating costs. The
quality of the Action is good. The resources are adequate
and activities are coherent with the objectives.
The Action's relevance is weak as shunting locomotives

only operate in Germany without involving territory of
other Member States. Its maturity is very good as the first
activities have already started. The Action's impact is
good. The main benefit will be reduction of fuel
consumption and CO2 emissions. The quality is weak. The
planning does not adequately address the core activity of
the Action and some activities are not clearly described or
not sufficiently justified. The communication plan is too
general, mostly related to DB Group internally.

The A7 is the main route for north-south traffic in Germany,

yet it is often congested with traffic greatly exceeding its
capacity. This study aims at resolving a bottleneck by
planning and designing a six to eight lane extension. The
studies will focus on the Hamburg-Othmarschen junction to
the Hamburg/Schleswig-Holstein border, a road section part
of the Scandinavian - Mediterranean Core Network Corridor.
The studies are a key step in the Global Project of widening
the A7 in the Hamburg urban area. Activities include the
planning, designing and the production of tender documents
for the sections Schnelsen, Stellingen and Altona. Successful
completion of the Action would allow the start of the works,
which would increase capacity of the highway, decreasing
the congestion and accident rates.

The Action is located in the district of Wilhelmsburg within

the metropolitan region of Hamburg and in the access area
for the sea port of Hamburg, a Core Network port. The
railway infrastructure in the Wilhelmsburg area is important
for the access to the port of Hamburg. The necessity for
upgrading the railway facilities in the Wilhelmsburg area
derives from the state of the traffic infrastructure and the
expected growth of the traffic at the Hamburg railway
interchange. The Action consists of the following activities:
planning of port railway approach; construction of port
railway approach; planning of relief tracks; construction of
relief tracks; planning of noise protection walls; and
construction of noise protection walls.

The Action's relevance is weak because of the low EU

added value. The Action is very mature, although certain
improvements are still possible. The proposal has received
formal approvals at governmental/regional/local level and
is nationally designated as an "urgent" project. Impact is
weak as the relevant sections of the application were
empty. The proposal is of good quality: activities coherent
with objectives and adequate to achieve them. The

processes require greater description.
The Action is very relevant. It is part of a Global Project

aiming at upgrading intermodal interface between the
Port of Hamburg and the rail network. The maturity is very
good as the Action has started. Its impact is very good
since the upgrading of the railway hinterland connection
to the seaport will allow a better use of existing resources
while creating additional capacity. The quality is very

The multimodal seaports Bremen and Bremerhaven account

for approximately 2.3 million TEU traffic. The Action aims at
completing the railway and infrastructure expansion
upgrades at Imsumer Deich shunting yard ,as well as
implementing a new IT planning and management system
at these ports, part of the North Sea-Baltic, Orient-East Med
and the Scandinavian-Mediterranean Corridors. Successful
completion of the Action would greatly benefit the Global
Project aiming to overcome the existing bottlenecks and
capacity problems. Activities include: extension of shunting
yard capacity at Imsumer Deich, introduction of a new port
railway IT system, action management. Successful
completion of the Action would result in better access and
greater integration of the two ports into the existing
transport infrastructure.

Increased heavy cargo shipping and lack of special

transporters is creating a transhipment bottleneck in the
Berlin region. The proposed Action aims at removing such a
bottleneck by establishing a mobile crane with 300 tonnes
lifting capacity in Berlin's western harbour. The port is an
inland Core Network port connected to three Core Network
Corridors. Its upgrading would therefore benefit the Global
Project of strengthening the transport of heavy goods to and
from the harbour. Activities in the Action include: project
initiation,
project
planning,
approval
procedures,
procurement procedures, construction work, delivery, project
completion. The successful completion of the Action would
contribute to eliminating the current bottlenecks on the
inland waterway of the addressed area.
Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The Action is relevant to the call. Nevertheless, a

weakness is that the proposed IT system is only partially
relevant to the call priorities. The maturity of the
proposed Action is weak, as it will not be completed within
the timeframe foreseen by the call. While a positive socioeconomic and environmental impact was demonstrated
for activity 1, activity 2 did not show an impact. The
quality of the application is good. There are also some
inconsistencies within different parts of the application.
The Action fails to demonstrate its relevance to the Call. It

is not a project of common interest, and the requested cofunding would mainly benefit a particular operator. It
lacks detail on political commitments, thus is only partially
mature. Impact is weak, with social economic benefits not
quantified and only a very small impact on transport
performance of inland navigation. Quality is weak. The
project is well described, with reasonable budgeted costs
per activity, but with very little information on project
management and capacity to run the project.

The proposed Action aims at developing standard gauge rail

access to and within the port of Castellon in Spain, located
on the Comprehensive Network. The Action comprises design
studies and works. The studies cover the link to the
Mediterranean Corridor. The works cover the construction of
the access of the port and inner rail network in the South
Dock as well as the railway connection bridge between the
South Dock and the North Terminal. With this action, the
surface of the port will be multiplied by ten, creating space
for plants and logistics centres in the petrochemical and
ceramic industries. As a result, the Action will contribute to
interoperability, intermodality and competitiveness.

The Action concerns the deployment over the Spanish

railway network of antennas and WIFI connectivity on board
on AVE and commuter trains as well as in the main train
stations. It is a three-phased Global Project including 1) WIFI
installation on board trains AVE lines, 2) WIFI deployment in
main train stations and 3) roll-out in other trains. The
present Action relates to phases 1) & 2) and covers external
WIFI connectivity, internal LAN connectivity and WIFI
antennas in stations. Connecting train passengers to a
reliable and stable WIFI network is a way to attract more
customers to rail and induce a modal shift.

The Port of Tarragona is a Core Network port located on the

Mediterranean Corridor. The Action consists of the
construction of the western road access to the Port. It aims
to provide an additional road connection to the port to link
port facilities which are not well linked as well as to the new
Intermodal Railway Terminal and the ZAL (Logistics Activity
Zone). In this way, intermodal exchanges between road, rail
and maritime modes will be improved. Moreover, the new
road access will permit the direct access from the
Tarragona South Petrochemical Cluster where more than 25
chemical companies are based, covering more than 620 ha
of industrial facilities. This will contribute to easing the high
level of traffic congestion on the current road access to the
port.

The proposed Action has an excellent relevance

contributing to the development of the Core Port of
Tarragona on the Mediterranean Core Network Corridor. It
has an excellent maturity as the works are well advanced.
It has an excellent impact contributing to re-balancing
transport modes in favour of the most environmentally
friendly ones. The Action has a very good quality with
realistic implementation plans. However, it is not retained
for funding because of its relatively low EU added value.

its relevance is fair because it does not concern a road
cross-border section nor justifies an exception and
therefore does not address the Call priorities. The maturity
of the Action is good, however construction designs are
not completed, no building permit has been awarded and
tendering procedure has not started. The impact of the
Action is very good. The quality is fair due to insufficient
risk analysis, inconsistencies in project's duration, and
missing information on length of the road.

The proposal aims to develop an anti-pollution 24 hour

service in the Port of Tarragona. The Action will convert a
simple waste collection barge (an existing vessel named
Arrabasada) into a barge capable to handle a wide range of
hazardous products. It will implement a waste collecting
service to vessels while berthed in port, as well as at
anchorage outside the port. Once the refurbishment phase is
completed, the phase to test the new service will start. It will
consist of a floating facility for reception and storage of
different highly polluted substances, and a facility to
transport them to port 24/7 for their complete recycling
treatment.

The West Breakwater of the Core Port of Palma has several

areas of great operational importance. During 2014, the
traffic at the West Breakwater entailed 80% of the total
traffic of the Port. The proposed tunnel is expected to
improve the connection between the West Breakwater and
the ring road that connects the main roadways of the island,
including highway Ma-13 (Comprehensive road Network).
The 1.233 m underground tunnel will enable direct access
to the West Breakwater mainly for heavy goods. The Action
consists of execution of the works, environmental
monitoring and traffic solutions during the works. The Action
will reduce congestion and improve the port-city relation by
reducing the transit of heavy vehicles through urban areas.
It will also reduce travel and operating times increasing the
Port's competitiveness.

Evaluation Remarks
The Action is not very relevant to the call for proposals as

it does not fit its requirements. It focuses on the
refurbishment of a barge for collection storage and
transportation of polluted discharge from ships' fuel and
cargo tanks. The maturity is excellent as the project is
supposed to be already completed (31/03/2015). The
impact is therefore very low in terms of leverage effect of
the EU funding. The quality is also low as activities are not
detailed adequately and the proposal lacks clarity.

its relevance is weak because it neither concerns a road
cross-border section nor justifies an exception. Therefore,
it does not address the priorities of the Call. The maturity
of the Action is also weak. Final design studies and land
acquisition procedures are pending. The Action's impact is
very good. It is expected to reduce travel time contributing
to development and economic growth. The quality is
satisfactory. Activities are coherent with the objectives

DIGICOR is highly relevant and importantly targets C-ITS

applications for freight and logistics. However, it has major
weaknesses: a generic definition of objectives with
insufficient details on expected results, scope of work,
pilot targets and the roles of the committed actors. These
create an inability to measure progress and the maturity

The proposed Action aims to improve UIC freight transport

traffic in the Mediterranean corridor, implementing a
multimodal service between Barcelona and Duisburg
promoting a more sustainable and energy efficient
transport with an innovative mixed train concept and a
semitrailer transhipment technology. The proposed Action
consists of the necessary studies and its posterior
monitoring and validation. The main objectives are: 1)
propose an efficient multimodal management structure for
the Barcelona-Duisburg Corridor, 2) study the current and
near future situation of the Barcelona-Duisburg Axis and its
nodes, 3) study the feasibility of the proposed service, 4)
design project of Pilot Service, 5) evaluate and validate the
Pilot service and 6) promote the corridor and diffuse new

The following intermodal rail-road services in the North SeaBaltic corridor are targeted by this proposed Action: new
service between Krefeld (DE) and Swarzedz-Jasin (near
Poznan, PL) with 3 roundtrips per week and enhancement of
an existing service Krefeld-Warszawa from 2 to 4 roundtrips
per week. The acceptance of intermodal rail-road services
by the logistics market depends on a variety of factors. The
crucial factors are: 1. Frequent operations, 2. Reliable
operations, 3. Punctual operations and 4. Tailor-made
bookings and communications. Two logistics service
providers, the applicants ERS Railways B.V. and DLS Land
und See Speditionsgesellschaft mbH have vertically
integrated their activities to achieve a breakthrough of
intermodal rail-road on the North Sea-Baltic corridor, which
is dominated by road freight transport.
Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The proposed Action is not relevant to the call's priority

"Freight Transport Services" because it concerns a set of
studies, whereas studies are outside the scope of the call
in this priority. The maturity of the proposed Action is very
good, especially thanks to a large support of various
stakeholders. The impact is very good as a decisionmaking tool because it will guide stakeholders to engage
in a regular freight service if the outcome is positive. The
quality is weak, since there are substantial shortcomings
in time planning, risk assessment and cost allocation.
The proposed Action's relevance is very good, it addresses

the objectives of the Call. The maturity is good. Financial
commitments are ensured and the proposed Action is
ready to start. The impact could be good, but there is a
substantial risk of distortion of competition in the
transport market concerned by the proposal, therefore the
proposed Action was not retained for funding. The quality
is good, it is coherent but a detailed cost breakdown is not
presented.

The Action aims at enhancing the wood rail transport service

in the Iberian Peninsula by setting up a rail freight service
between Huelva (ES) and Setbal (PT) starting in October
2015. The objective is to shift freight off the road within the
section of Atlantic corridor and to save 450 t of CO2. The
applicants are 3 rail freight transport operators in Spain and
Portugal: COMSA Rail Transport, Takargo and Ibercargo Rail.
South Woodrail service will provide a connection between
wood suppliers in Huelva (ES) and a pulp paper industry in
Portugal. The service will also incorporate energy efficiency
aspects such as the introduction of new lighter wagons
(Innowagon 60ft) and an on-line monitoring for the fuel
consumption of the locomotives.

The proposed Action consists of the implementation of a

regular railway service between Alfarelos (PT) and
Pamplona (ES) with the aim of shifting freight off the road
along the Atlantic corridor. The freight to be transported will
be paper products from Portugal to Spain and general cargo
from Spain to Portugal. The modal shift from road to
railway will improve the efficiency of supply chains and the
service will enhance railway infrastructure utilisation. An
investment in 40 ft Innowagon will be made. These are lowtare-weight wagons which allow more efficient transport.
Additionally a locomotive monitoring system will be
implemented so as to improve efficiency and reduce
operation problems for the service.

Evaluation Remarks
The Action's relevance is weak, not aiming to improve

throughput of normal rail operations, as installations are
foreseen for unexpected events such as incidents,
maintenance and other events. The Action's maturity is
good. It has political support and the preliminary project
studies are near completion. Its impact is weak. The study
will be used as a decision-making tool. However, the
socio-economic benefits are limited compared to the
estimated investment. The Action's quality is good. Sound
control and quality management procedures are in place.
The Action is relevant as it covers studies on the TEN-T

comprehensive network. Nevertheless, the existence of a

Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The proposed Action is of poor relevance and fails to

address the objectives of the Call as it will not contribute
to develop the core network or interconnect the Core
Network Corridors. The Action is very mature as it has
already started. The impact of the Action is poor, it is
limited to the reopening of the leg which will provide only
local services. The quality of the proposed Action is poor
as it is still very much in draft form and lacks overall
clarity and coherence.
The Action's relevance is fair since it fails to demonstrate

the existence of a bottleneck. Its maturity is poor due to
lack of necessary authorisations and limited information
on funding resources. The Action does not demonstrate
any positive impacts of the Action in terms of policy
making, developing best practices or generating socioeconomic contribution. The quality of the proposal is low
due to inconsistencies in the Activities planning, generic

traffic management systems, Wi-Fi services, axle weighing
systems and other facilities. The Action is part of a Global
Project that aims at improving the overall infrastructure
capacity. It consists of construction works in the two
terminals (in France and UK) and other infrastructure
improvements. In the long run, the Action will contribute to
removing a bottleneck in the road access to the terminals
and reducing the risk of congestion in the two motorways
(M20 in UK and A16 in France).
Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The Action addresses the general objectives of the Annual

call and is therefore relevant. It is very mature: a
feasibility study is completed, most of the contracts have
been awarded and the Action is ready to go. However the
impact is low because of the lack of supporting
quantitative evidence of the modernisation benefits. The
quality of the proposed Action is weak. The risk
management and project organisation are scarcely
presented, which is crucial to ensure a seamless
implementation and to adhere to the schedule.
The Action is very relevant; it is located in the North SeaMediterranean Corridor and it involves a cross-border
section. It demonstrates a high level of maturity; activities
have already started and implementation is ongoing.
However, the impact is weak as the Action is likely to be
continued without EU support. In addition, a proper Cost
Benefit Analysis has not been provided. Quality is very
good; it demonstrates technical soundness and coherence
between the budget and the planned activities.

Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The relevance of the proposed Action is limited as the

funding priorities are only weakly addressed. No removal
of bottlenecks is foreseen. It is unclear whether the
project is ready to start from a technical point of view,
since many issues are either still pending or not yet
prepared. Therefore, the maturity level is poor. The impact
is weak as only some economic benefits are shown. As the
overall proposal has some serious weaknesses in terms of
its completeness and clarity, the quality is weak.
The proposed Action's relevance is good. Though the

activities concern primarily one Member State only, the
Ports' hinterlands connect to a Core Network Corridor. Its
main strength is its very good maturity, as it has received
formal approval at national, regional and local levels.
However, the expected impact is only fair as it is limited to
the narrow scope of the Action. The Action's quality is fair.
Although the proposal is well written in general, it lacks
detail and clarity in its substance. Also, the deliverables of
the Activities are poorly defined.

Single Window. This evolution will be achieved through the
upgrade of the existing connectivity network from
bandwidth to the fibre-optic technology. The Action aims to
improve the efficiency of administration related to the
arrival and departure of ships, with a reduction of waiting
time and improvement of interoperability between
stakeholders. The Action is part of a Global Project of the
construction of the National Maritime Single Window under
Directive 65/2010. The Action consists of the design and
implementation of a "server farm" and a service centre
within the Italian Coast Guard Head Quarters and the
connection of 9 ports to the central node.

between objectives and activities. The level of detail of
activities is adequate, except for the electric vehicle part
of the pilot phase.
The Action's relevance is good as it addresses the Call

objectives by implementing new ICT infrastructure to
improve reliability and security of information flows
between Ports and a National Single Window. The Action's
maturity is very good. The Action's impact is fair. It will
only be effective in improving reliability of ICT
infrastructure, but it will not generate any other major
benefits to the operations in Ports. The Action's quality is

railway system and related rail connection of the new port
Terminal to the main rail network.
Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The relevance of the Action is good. However, only

Civitavecchia is a Comprehensive Port. The Action's
maturity is weak. Although approved and supported by
Italy, the project participants and implementing activities
are not yet clearly defined. The expected impact of the
Action is weak, since it does not include a long-term
decision-making process identifying how this proposal will
complement the Global Project. The quality of the
proposal is poor, since the ownership of the project is not
clear as the applicants' participation is very limited.
The Action's relevance is weak. It does not address the

objectives of the Call's priority. The EU added value is low,
as no real bottleneck through the service building in
Pordenone is addressed. The maturity of the Action is
good; it is technically ready to start. The impact of the
Action is good. However, no quantitative data was
presented. The quality of the proposal is weak. The
proposal is not sound, consistent and transparent. It is a
combination of studies and works for two geographically
separate locations without any consistency.

Sea currents and the prevailing winds in the Baltic region

oblige the Ventspils Free port to carry out regular dredging
activities. This Action proposes the procurement of new
dredging activity equipment, replacing the currently
obsolete model. The Venstpils port is part of the Core
Network and the North Sea-Baltic Corridor. Completion of
the Action is linked to the Global Project of developing the
port infrastructure and improving navigational safety. The
application of the new dredger technology will help ensuring
access continuity and benefit the navigational safety in the
fairways and port basin.

The IJsselmeer plays an important role in the short sea

connection between the Netherlands and the United
Kingdom, Scandinavia and the Baltic States. The proposed
Action aims to build a new larger lock at the Afsluitdijk and
deepen the waterway Ijsselmeer. It is part of a Global
Project to reconstruct the flood defense infrastructure at the
Afsluitdijk. The Ijsselmeer is on the TEN-T core network and
provides access to the North Sea. The overall benefit of the
Action is to enable more ships and pushed convoys to pass
the Afsluitdijk.
Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The Action's relevance is poor as it does not meet the Call

objectives and does not demonstrate the EU added value.
The maturity is poor. Procurement procedures are not well
defined and there are major risks factors. The Action's
impact is weak. Though the CBA is positive, socioeconomic or environmental aspects are not quantified.
The quality is poor, lacking sufficient level of logic,
completeness and clarity. The proposal fails to present
and address clearly the coherence of activities with the
objectives of the Action and ways to achieve them.
The Action is relevant as it improves the North Sea

connection with inland waterways and ports of Northern
Netherlands, but it has limited EU added value mainly
serving the local region. The Action is fairly mature as it
has received the necessary support but is still in the
planning phase. It requires several important steps to be
completed before works can start. The Action will have a
positive impact, essentially for the regional economy as
indicated in the cost-benefit analysis. The quality is good
as the activities are clearly described.

rail hub of Duisburg (Germany). The current narrow capacity
and the increase of container flows require to improve and
consolidate multimodal accessibility. The applicants Trade
Port Noord CV and Municipality of Venlo intend to build a
new rail Terminal connecting it to the main rail network. The
capacity of barges Terminal will be expanded by 1.5 ha. The
Action will contribute to enhance multimodal transport
network. This will lead to a better integration and balance of
modes, reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The relevance of the Action is good as it will promote the

use of alternative fuels but the effect at the EU level is
limited. The maturity is fair as the most crucial decision on
the technical solutions will be taken during its
implementation. The impact is fair due to limited
replicability, small size of the pilot and absence of
evidence in terms of socio-economic impacts. The quality
of the proposed Action is fair. The description of activities
is not detailed enough, the timeline is not realistic and the
risk management plan is incoherent.
The relevance of the Action is very good. It addresses the

objectives of the Call to develop multimodal logistic RailRoad and Inland waterways hubs. The maturity is very
good. The necessary national and regional political
approvals and financial resources are obtained, although
the development consent is not granted. The impact is

Born is an industrial cluster located on the comprehensive

network in the Netherlands. The Action aims to carry-out the
studies to develop Born as multimodal logistics platform
and interconnect it with the road, rail and inland waterway
networks. The Global Project's objective is to construct the
multimodal terminal. The studies aim to plan and design the
logistics platform, including for obtaining the building
permits and publishing the works tenders. In the long term,
the action will allow an increase of freight handled by the
terminal. It will shift from road to rail 60% of the cars
produced in the industrial area in the proximity of the
terminal. The action will have a positive impact in terms of
job growth. By 2020, it is foreseen that 1,478 workers will
come from Belgium and Germany and 2,485 from other EU
countries.

The Action aims at opening new markets for intermodal rail

operations by offering a new quality of railway services for
the transport of temperature-controlled goods in the
corridors North Sea-Baltic and Rhine-Alpine. It concerns
investment in technical railway equipment, namely rolling
stock. The supply of electric energy will avoid the damage of
cargo due to the non-availability of energy supply. By doing
so, the applicant is aiming to shift freight from road to rail.
The installation of new braking technologies to the same
intermodal wagons will further lead to silent train runs, high
operational quality with improved reliability and more gentle
train runs with positive impacts on rolling stock and rail
wear and tear. The intermodal services will be operated
between the Netherlands and Poland and the Netherlands
and Italy.
Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The relevance of the Action is very good as it aims to

develop a multimodal logistics platform. High political and
financial commitments are ensured while part of its
implementation started in 2014. The proposal shows a
very good socio-economic impact. The proposal is of high
quality as it is coherent, detailed and well structured.
However, the Action has not been retained for funding due
to its relatively lower EU added value.
The Action's relevance is good, in line with the Call

priorities. The retrofitting of wagons will facilitate modal
shift and improve the environmental performance of
railway services operated in several Member States. The
maturity is good. The impact is weak as no source or

offer a wide range of services enabling multimodal
transhipment of goods sensitive to weather conditions and
pollution. This will be achieved by construction of new rail
track (wide gauge section), loading/unloading ramp and
manoeuvring yard. In the long term, the action will increase
the access to infrastructure allowing for transhipment of
goods to different regions of the EU and other countries. It
will also enhance the efficiency of the TEN-T network by

(extension of circa 3.5 km in the municipality of Almeida),
with the objective of connecting the A25 on the Portuguese
side with A62 - Autovia de Castilla (Spain). The objective of
the Global Project is to establish a connection with the
Spanish highway network, thus providing an outflow to
international freight and passenger road traffic. It will also
increase safety, comfort and cost-efficiency of road
transport. The Action includes digging, landfill, drainage and

Evaluation Remarks
Although the Action contributes to TEN-T policy objectives

and concerns a cross-border road section, its relevance is
only fair because the written agreement between the
concerned Member States does not refer explicitly to this
section. The maturity is good; political commitments have
been given. The Action's impact is very good. It is expected
to reduce travel time and connectivity between the
countries, contributing to regional and economic
development. Activities are coherent with objectives and
costs are realistic.
The Action is of limited relevance as it is submitted under

the E-maritime priority but mainly concerns e-freight
activities with no links to a particular port. It has a good
maturity given the formal approval at all levels but the
impact is only fair in terms of policy-making and not
substantiated as regards socio-economic effect. The
overall quality is relatively weak because of lack of
coherence between activities planned and objectives.
Moreover, the budget is not detailed enough to allow a
proper analysis.

value of the Action is limited: it is of only local importance.
The maturity of the Action is good and two activities have
already started. Its impact is fair as it relates mainly to
urban planning in terms of transport related studies. The
quality is fair and several improvements would be
necessary.
The Action's relevance is poor. The upgraded basic port

infrastructure is to be used mainly by cruise ships, which
are not prioritised in the Call. The Action's maturity is fair.

objectives of TEN-T policy. The proposed Action concerns a
study on the current supply situation with alternative fuels
(CNG and LNG) in Slovenia with the aim of preparing a draft
national policy framework proposal for CNG and LNG use in
the relevant transport modes (road, rail, maritime and
inland waterway). It represents the first phase of the Global

carriageway to replace the existing A26 single lane,
including four major 'all movement' junctions, and to
improve road safety with a central reserve safety barrier
with no cross-over facilities other than at specific side road
junctions. It will also include three rest areas as well as a
50-100 space park-and-ride facility combined with adjacent
bus stops. The Action will reduce passenger and freight

accidents and environmental impact and encourage modal
shift by the provision of a park and ride facility.
Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The relevance of the proposed Action is good, as it

contributes to the de-carbonisation of transport through
the roll-out of alternative fuels distribution infrastructure.
The maturity is weak, since support by the relevant
stakeholders is not indicated and the Action is not ready
to start due to pending tendering procedures. The impact
is also weak, as the proposal does not elaborate in detail
on the outputs that will be available for decision-making.
The quality is poor and the proposal is missing sufficient
detail of information in all relevant aspects.
The relevance of the proposed Action is very good since it

contributes to removing a bottleneck on the
comprehensive network. The Action is very mature since it
benefits from the support of all relevant public authorities
and is already under implementation. The impact of the
Action is good since it will increase road safety,
connectivity and accessibility to the region. The quality of
the Action is good since the description is coherent with
the objectives. However, it has not been retained for
funding because of its relatively lower EU added value.

Warrenpoint is Northern Ireland's second largest Port in

terms of reported tonnage, all of which is transported to and
from the Port by road. The proposed Action is the first of a
two phase project that will result in the construction of a
hinterland connection from the Comprehensive Port of
Warrenpoint to the North Sea Mediterranean Corridor. The
Action aims to identify the scope and effects of the highway
works to develop the final proposals in the light of
environmental, engineering, economic and traffic
considerations. It covers the development and assessment
of the Warrenpoint connection through a Stage 1
"Preliminary Options Scheme Assessment" and a Stage 2
"Preferred Options Scheme Assessment".

The M4 in South Wales forms part of the TEN-T and plays a

key strategic role in connecting South Wales with the rest of
Europe. It is a key east-west route, being the main gateway
into South Wales and also one of the most heavily used
roads in Wales. The Welsh Government's Plan for the M4
Corridor around Newport consists of a new section of 3-lane
motorway between Magor and Castleton to the south of
Newport along the TR111 protected corridor of the Black
Route, including a new junction adjacent to Newport Docks
and complementary measures to re-classify the existing
M4, improve local junctions and improve cycling and walking
facilities. The Action will cover the design phase, the public
consultation and the environmental statement to support
the decision making process.

The proposed Action is very relevant as it is a study for an

improved road connection to the Core Network for a
Comprehensive port in an isolated part of the Union with
no freight access to rail. The Action is very mature. The
impact of the Action is good; it is well documented as a
necessary step for decision makers and will deliver a
preferred route option. The quality is very good; the
activities are well described and the proposal is coherent.
However, the proposal is not retained for funding due to
The proposed action is only fairly relevant as it does not

fall within the scope of the Annual call. The action is
neither a cross-border project on a section of the core
network nor does it concern a Member State with no
railway network or a Member State, or part thereof, with
an isolated network without long-distance rail freight
transport and maritime infrastructure. The maturity of the
proposed action is satisfactory. The Action has a good
impact as a decision-making tool. The proposed action has
a very good quality.

This Action is located in the county of Conwy in North West

Wales, between Holyhead and Liverpool. It relates to the
necessary studies to advance the A55 road junction 15 and
16 scheme, developing an outline design to commence the
statutory consent process. It is an integral part of the Welsh
Government's programme to improve hinterland connections
with TEN-T ports in Wales via the Core Network. The two at
grade roundabouts at junctions 15 and 16 are the only
roundabouts on the route from Holyhead to Hull and are a
constraint to the free flow of traffic. The Action will improve
road safety by reducing the risk of road accidents and
improve journey time reliability by removing these two substandard junctions and accesses.

include both vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure
communication. The Action will: i) determine what
technology is needed at the roadside to exploit the
connected vehicle opportunity and install it so new services
can be demonstrated; ii) develop new innovative services in
collaboration with relevant stakeholders; iii) connect traffic
management and data systems to provide additional data
for service and iv) evaluate and build business models,
governance models and roadmaps for future national and
EU wide roll out to connect automotive, service provider and
road operator needs.

be used as a decision making tool for future steps
however the construction phase is not certain yet. The
quality of the Action is fair as the information provided is
not sufficiently clear and detailed.
The proposed Action is very relevant as it addresses the

objective of the Annual Call for Telematic applications by
including pilot activities on C-ITS. However, its maturity
suffers from significant weaknesses on technical level as
well as on the commitment and involvement of relevant
actors. Moreover, the Action does not demonstrate
potential impacts and its quality suffers from serious
weaknesses. The description of activities is not clear

The railway East Coast Main Line (ECML) connects major

cities along the route from London through to the Midlands,
North East England and Scotland. The line is at the limit of
its capacity with key bottlenecks preventing further growth.
The Action will provide new infrastructure to remove
bottlenecks. It consists of works for new platforms, passing
loops, increased line speeds, remodeling of track, signaling
and overhead line equipment. The Action will improve
services on the ECML sections of the Core Network as well
as offer better access and alternative routes to the North
Sea- Mediterranean Corridor. The key bottlenecks are at
King's Cross, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Doncaster, York and
between Northallerton and Newcastle. The Action will
support industry and encourage modal shift, enabling higher
frequencies and reducing travel times.

Aberdeen Harbour is a busy trust port handling around

8,000 vessel arrivals and 5 million tonnes of cargo a year.
The proposed Action is for a transportation study connecting
this new facility with the existing TEN-T network and for
investigation to complement the work approved under the
on-going project 2013-UK-91075-S, both of which being
essential elements to enhance and expand Aberdeen
Harbour's role as a key trade hub in northern Europe. The
Action is located on the comprehensive network. It is part of
a global project of a new port facility in Nigg Bay (Aberdeen)
which will allow an increase in both the number and
maximum size of vessel that can call at Aberdeen. The
Action includes two studies linked to marine investigations
and roads infrastructure.
20.00%
The main objective of the proposed Action is a new port

facility in Nigg Bay-Aberdeen with quay construction and
construction of ancillary harbour buildings. Aberdeen is a
port on the TEN-T network and the TEN-T hinterland links to
the south will directly connect the project to the TEN-T Core
Network in the Scottish Central Belt with adequate capacity
and efficiency. This port facility will provide the additional
berthing capacity and deep water berths capable of
accommodating additional traffic, larger vessels and the
varying needs of port on the Comprehensive Network. The
Action related to dredging, breakwater, quays and ancilliary
works will enhance Aberdeen Harbour's role as a key trade
hub in northern Europe, well connected to road and rail TENT links northwards and southwards.
Evaluation Remarks
Evaluation Remarks
The relevance is weak as it is located on the

comprehensive network but it does not address any of the
Call priorities. Its maturity is weak as implementation of
the studies depends on the ongoing Environmental Impact
Assessment, while the necessary consent for Activity 1
(Marine Investigations) is still pending. Its impact is good
as both studies are necessary as a decision-making tool
for the Global Project. The quality is good, project
management is sound but the information on the scope of
Activity 2 (Roads Infrastructure Study) is limited.
The relevance of the proposed Action is weak because it

does not meet the specific priorities of the Call and does
not demonstrate it will contribute to removing a major
bottleneck. The maturity of the Action is low. The Action's
impact is limited as it contributes to port development but
the need for EU support is not demonstrated and the
socio-economic effects are insufficiently quantified. The
Action's quality is weak. The activities are briefly
described and the risks identification does not take into
account crucial elements.

The City of Westminster covers an area of about 22 square

kilometres which includes the Houses of Parliament,
Westminster Cathedral and Abbey, Buckingham Palace and
Oxford Street. It is a city of national and international
importance with an estimated 95% of all visitors to London
traveling to Westminster, a total of around 28.5 million per
year. The Action is focused on enhancing traffic
management and road customer service within the centre
of London. In particular it will enable easy access to parking
and urban mobility. By providing information on "the last
mile" parking availability, the Action will improve business,
local and foreign visitor road experience. The Action will
encourage road users to plan and potentially book parking
spaces at times which are convenient and which minimise
delays to other users.
Evaluation Remarks
The proposed Action fails to demonstrate its relevance. Its
maturity is adequate as it builds upon existing
technologies and demonstrates commitments from the
relevant authorities. The Action fails to demonstrate its
potential impacts. The quality of the Action suffers from
serious weaknesses. Only a high level overview of planned
activities is provided and the details of the work plan are
not adequate. Technical specifications on the nature of
the solution are not shown.
