The need for financing infrastructure

The infrastructure projects who are involving  are included the eastern European countries  in the Rhine-Danube corridor and that East / Eastern Mediterranean of the nine presented Thursday by the European Commission (EC), which would act as a backbone in the single European market and revolutionize connections east-west.  The first of these corridors, the Rhine-Danube will have a main axis consists of Main and Danube inland waterway and will connect the central regions around cities Strasbourg and Frankfurt, through southern Germany to Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest and finally, the United Black, an important branch that starts from Munich to Prague, Kosice and the border with Ukraine. The corridor would include, according to papers published by the EC, Romanian cities of Timisoara, Arad, Brasov, Bucharest, Craiova, Sulina town and Constanta. Corridor East / East Mediterranean sea interface connects the North Sea, Baltic Sea, Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea, optimizing the use of ports and maritime highways related subjects. Having inland waterway as the Elbe River, this corridor will improve multimodal connections between northern Germany, Czech Republic, Panonian region southeastern Europe. He extends sea from Greece to Cyprus. This design will be included and access infrastructure in Romanian cities of Timisoara, Arad and Craiova. To make the necessary investments materialize the new corridors, EU funding for transport infrastructure will triple over the period 2014-2020, reaching 26 billion. Overall, the new EU infrastructure policy will turn the current patchwork of roads, railways, airports and European channels in a unified trans-European transport network (TEN-T). EU funding will focus on power transmission network, which has the highest value added in the EU. To give priority east-west connections, almost half of the total EC funding for transport infrastructure – or 11.3 billion under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) will be allocated only to the beneficiary countries of the cohesion policy. The infrastructure community policy establishes for the first time, a core network of transport corridors based on nine major and two north-south corridors, three east-west corridors and four diagonal corridors. The core network will transform east-west connections, will remove bottlenecks, upgrade infrastructure and streamline your cross border transport operations for passengers and companies across the EU, the EC notes in a statement.
