EU added value, progresses and challenges of Priority Project 3
Carlo SecchiEuropean coordinator PP3 – PP19
TEN-T Priority Project 3: the main link
HSL South-West Europe – three branches:• Iberian branch: ES-PT line Madrid-Lisbon-Porto: synergies with PP16 (freight) et PP19 / 8 (Porto-Vigo..-La Coruña – Atlantic line)
• Atlantic branch : connection FR-ES; HSL Madrid-Valladolid-Basque country-Bordeaux–Paris; Freight: toward an Atlantic freight corridor (added capacity); Bilbao (Port) / PP19 – PT)
• Mediterranean branch: connection FR-ES; HSL Madrid – Barcelona -…Lyon - Paris; Freights: link to Barcelona port, synergies with ERTMS Corridor D / PP19 – Valencia port)

The European Added-Value
First interoperable connections between the
Iberian Peninsula and the rest of EU: a major achievement
for the internal market
High Speed line FR-ES-PT linking the Capitals
and main towns (Barcelona, Lyon,
Bordeaux, Oporto…,
Contribution to efficient multimodal freight transport :
linking ports (Barcelona, Valencia..,), synergies with ERTMS Corridor D, PP16
Consistent with EU2020 « energy-climate »
Attraction of Private Capital to TEN-T
Overcoming a major natural barrier (the Pyrenees): - rebalance the modal split - bridging the gap between adjacent regions so far set apart (Europe-making)

Main achievements during 2009/2010
• Iberian branch : works on-going on 80 km of platform (Caceres-Mérida-Badajoz); signature of the Contract for Poceirão-Caia
• Atlantic branch : works launched/on-going throughout Valladolid-Burgos and Vitoria-Bergara-Bilbao; tender for Tours-Bordeaux new line launched; 1000 m corridors for the GPSO defined (Comité de Pilotage)
• Mediterranean branch: connection Barcelona-Perpignan advanced (provisional op. 2010-2011, full new line ~2012) - tender negotiation for CNM (Nimes-Montpellier bypass)

Future challenges
• Keep with this pace in implementing the project in spite of the crisis (CNM, Bergara-S. Sebastian, Lisbon-Poceirão …) vs. local consensus
• Ensure interoperability: in terms of Gauge, Signalling and Control (ERTMS)
• Establish Corridor management / joint operations: new services generate/attract cross-border demand
