TEN-T-revision

Euroopan komissio antoi ehdotuksen uudeksi TEN-T-asetukseksi 14.12.2021. Asetusehdotus sisältää TEN-T-verkon määrittelyn sekä vaatimukset, jotka TEN-T-verkon tulee täyttää.

Valtioneuvosto antoi asetusehdotuksesta U-kirjelmän eduskunnalle 17.2.2022. Valtiovarainvaliokunta antoi lausuntonsa asiasta 24.3.2022. Liikenne- ja viestintävaliokunta antoi lausuntonsa asiasta 29.3.2022.

Neuvottelut uudistuksesta alkoivat neuvoston työryhmässä tammikuussa 2022.

Komissio julkaisi 27.7.2022 tätä TEN-T-asetusehdotusta muuttavan ehdotuksen, jolla reagoidaan muuttuneeseen maailmanpoliittiseen tilanteeseen.

LVM järjesti sidosryhmätilaisuuden asetusuudistuksesta 29.11.2021.

Valtakunnallinen liikennejärjestelmäsuunnitelma vuosille 2021-2032 (Liikenne 12) sisältää toimenpiteitä TEN-T-uudistukseen liittyen. Lisäksi Suomen ennakkovaikuttamiskantoja asetusuudistukseen on linjattu E-kirjelmässä eduskunnalle huhtikuussa 2021.

Komission muistion mukaan suurimmat uudistukset verrattuna nykyiseen asetukseen:
- High infrastructure standards for all modes applied throughout the entire network.
- Nine ‘European Transport Corridors', representing the main arteries of EU transport, that integrate the former Core Network Corridors with the Rail Freight Corridors.
- Stronger synergies between infrastructure planning and the operation of transport services. Examples include higher speeds for train services across the TEN-T network (160 kilometres per hour for passenger services and 100 kilometres per hour for freight), maximum waiting times at borders of 15 minutes for rail freight. Another example is guaranteed good navigation status per river basin on the inland waterways on the TEN-T network.
- Requirements for the deployment, across the TEN-T network, of the charging and refuel-ling infrastructure needed for alternative transport fuels in line with the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation. This would mean sufficient charging capacity for cars, vans and trucks at 60 kilometres distance in each direction by 2025 on the core network and by 2030 for the extended core and comprehensive networks.
- Providing safe and secure parking areas for commercial drivers, equipped with alternative fuels infrastructure.
- Use of innovative technologies like 5G to further advance the digitalisation of transport infrastructure, further increasing efficiency, and improving the safety, security and resilience of the network.
- Increased resilience of the TEN-T network to natural and human-made disasters via cli-mateproofing requirements and environmental impact assessments for new projects, and to the implications of an accident or breakdown (e.g. by enabling alternative route alignments to the main network).
- The requirement for 424 major cities (“cities”) on the TEN-T network to have sustainable urban mobility plans by 2025, in order to align their mobility developments on the TEN-T network. The SUMPs will contain measures such as the promotion of zero-emission mobility and the greening of the urban fleet.
- More transhipment hubs and multimodal passenger terminals in cities to facilitate multi-modality, in particular for the last mile of a passenger or freight journey.
- Connect large airports to rail, where possible high-speed rail. Making it possible network-wide for lorries to be transported by trains.++
