Lessons from Tallinn on NDPTL (1)
• - New business opportunities in ND region will
require adaptation of the transport system;
• - Many initiatives competing in the region (NDPTL,
BEATA etc..) : need to develop synergies for a
better use of resources
•
- Future role of NDPTL could be to steer the
initiatives in the transport and logistics sectors
Transport
Lessons from Tallinn on NDPTL (2)
• - Strong support on "ready to go projects and
more emphasis on logistics /small scale projects
that could bring immediate benefits;
• -Financing : no miracle expected but need to
clearly identify priorities and set up the
appropriate regulatory framework to implement
projects.
•
- Closer involvement of stakeholders (regions industry) to define these priorities = bottom up
approach
Transport
First results:
- - NDPTL fund : first four projects supported.
- Key importance for projects which could very
unlikely receive support through other
instruments.
• - Strong TEN-T component and high crossregional added value.
•
- NDPTL to be considered as a bridge between
local / regional and TEN-T projects.
