CHALLENGES & PROBLEMS
Develop more efficient and competitive freight transport systems
Develop more eco-friendly and eco-innovative solutions for transports
Work jointly with the Adriatic-Ionian strategy
Disparities and structural weaknesses between regions of the Adriatic area
Lack of cooperation between crossborder areas
Many individual initiatives to develop policies
Jeopardized development of infrastructures and multimodal solutions
Underutilization of intermodal terminals and services

OBJECTIVES
Involve public actors at different levels to define and test common
initiatives on innovative freight multimodal solutions
Support efficient connections between transport nodes and
hinterland/crossborder areas
Support integration of national and regional strategies and policies
Boost cooperation between authorities in order to harmonize and develop
a coherent and comprehensive integrated freight transport system, based
also on ICT innovative solutions

EASYCONNECTING – Specific objectives 1/3
What
Result
In depth analysis of existing bottlenecks, of O/D
flows.
Gain specific common guidelines to develop more
efficient and sustainable means of transports for
freight, based on multi-modal choices, which will
lead to cross-border cooperation agreements for
harmonized freight transport policies and services

Topics
Topic 1 - Maritime transport
To strengthen maritime safety
and security and develop a
competitive regional
intermodal port system;
Topic 2 - Intermodal
connections to the hinterland
To develop reliable transport
networks and intermodal
connections with the
hinterland, both for freight
and passengers;

Actions/Specific objectives
Action - Clustering port activities/services throughout the region: Following the example of the existing
NAPA cooperation agreement, harmonising the ports processes through a common ITS (Intelligent
Transport System) would attract traffic that is now avoiding the Region.
Action - Improving and harmonising traffic monitoring and management: Strengthening development of a
Common Adriatic-Ionian Vessel Traffic Monitoring and Information, will improve safety and security of
maritime traffic in the region.
Action - Developing ports, optimising port interfaces, infrastructures and procedures/operations:
Developing the ports and port terminals in order to boost maritime transport, short-sea shipping capacity
and cross-border ferry connectivity.
Action - Developing the Western Balkans comprehensive network: Western Balkans need to prioritise
investments on the defined SEETO comprehensive network (railway, inland waterways, nodes and hubs,
notably with the motorways of the sea), aimed at promoting sustainable transport in the Region, and to
prepare their integration in the Trans-European Network – Transport (TEN-T) also with roadmap for
investments.
Action - Improving the accessibility of the coastal areas and islands: optimising use of freight and passenger
routes and involving private and public stakeholders.
Action - Developing motorways of the sea: Intermodal transport requires integrated management of the
whole logistic chain. Essential elements are, inter alia, improved road and rail infrastructure linking ports with
the hinterland and improved infrastructure within a port and ITS solutions.
Action - Railway reform: Taking measures to expedite progress in railway reform, e.g. transparent nondiscriminatory access to rail terminals, in particular in sea and inland ports, introducing a concession
approach for infrastructure, with direct cost- oriented track access charges, performance schemes and
management contracts for authorised applicants
Action - Development of air transport:
Action - Cross-border facilitation: This requires physical and non-physical investments on specific transport
axes.

Cross cutting issues
Institutional and administrative capacity of the national and regional bodies
responsible for transport (maritime, land, air) is essential for effective coordination at
macro-regional level, for coordination in the TEN-T and TEN-E context and, eventually,
for achieving the objectives set. Capacity building should aim, inter alia, to help joint
planning, financing and implementation of actions. It should aim, first and foremost,
to bolster macro-regional thinking.
Communication and awareness-raising is essential for participation of stakeholders in
the decision-making process and for building a feeling of ownership in the population.
Investments in transports and in energy networks can benefit from innovative
approaches which would come from research. The business community, and in
particular the small and medium size enterprises, would benefit directly from
investments in the sectors,

EASYCONNECTING & EUSAIR
Correlation with EASYCONNECTING on the coordinated approach
that holds together the infrastructure topic with softer aspects
related to innovation and the competitiveness of multimodal
services
Correlation with EASYCONNECTING on the macro-regional
perspective essential to promote the development and the
sustainable connection between transport networks
The Cross-Border approach is underlined trough the idea of the
MACRO AREAS (3) with different needs which will report detailed
informations on unique MoU that we’ll forward to the EC and
disseminate together with event in Brussel.
