Zusammenfassung
Der internationale ARL-Arbeitskreis "Spatial and Transport Infrastructure Development in Europe" beschäftigte sich von 2015 bis 2018 mit Fragen und Herausforderungen der Raum- und Eisenbahnentwicklung im europäischen TEN-T Korridor Orient/East -Mediterranean (OEM) Hamburg-Athen. Die Publikation gibt die Ergebnisse wieder: Aus Sicht der Arbeitsgruppe ist der Orient/East-Med Korridor für die zukünftige Kohäsion Europas von großer Bedeutung. Mit über 2.000 km Länge verbindet er starke Wirtschaftsräume der westlichen EU Mitgliedsstaaten mit prosperierenden Hauptstadtregionen der südöstlichen EU-Mitgliedsstaaten. Das Positionspapier umfasst die Erkenntnisse ("Assessment positions") sowie den Entwurf einer Strategie für das zukünftige Vorgehen ("Positions and recommendations") und verdeutlicht: 1) Der Orient/East-Med Korridor kann entscheidend zu wachsendem Zusammenhalt der Bevölkerung zwischen Hamburg und Athen beitragen. Auch Rückstände in der wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung, insbesondere in Teilen Südosteuropas können abgebaut werden, was zu einer Stärkung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit Europas beiträgt. 2) Ein wichtiges Ziel der EU Verkehrspolitik ist die Verlagerung von Gütern weg von der Straße hin auf die Schiene. Der Ausbau des Orient/East-Med Korridors kann hierzu einen wertvollen Beitrag leisten. Er kann bereits überlastete Verkehrswege entlasten, falls die Adriahäfen und die Häfen Piräus und Thessaloniki verstärkt genutzt werden können. 3) Eine koordinierte Entwicklung des Korridors ermöglicht in den Einzugsgebieten der Bahnknoten vielversprechende Chancen für eine nachhaltige Siedlungsentwicklung nach Innen.
The International Working Group officially started in May 2015 with the first meeting of the core group in Berlin. At several additional bi-annual meetings important aspects of corridor development were discussed with experts of the respective countries, regions and cities. In addition, the group established its own research efforts and investigated neuralgic points in the corridor to develop step-by-step suggestions intended to lead to improvements in various situations. It quickly became apparent that, in comparison to the top-ranking road systems of the corridor, it was the railway system that urgently needed improvement. In the group's opinion, an attractive railway system with sufficient capacity and quick connections would enable: (1) The promotion of the much-discussed social cohesion of the population along the corridor, and, due to the urgently needed investments, the shortfall in economic development could be decreased, especially in Southeast Europe. This could also collectively strengthen the economic competitiveness of Europe in general. (2) The transfer of freight transport from road to rail, called for by the EU, especially in the case of the OEM Corridor, would contribute to balancing hinterland transport from the maritime harbours. The overloaded hinterland corridors in northwest Europe could be relieved of considerable traffic if the harbours of Piraeus and Thessaloniki and the Adriatic harbours played a stronger role. In addition, unnecessary Alpine crossings by freight transport could be avoided. (3) The use of appropriate integrated projects to support promising opportunities for sustainable settlement and spatial development in the catchment areas of capable, efficient railway stations and in hub areas of public transport. These central points have prompted the group to concentrate their efforts on the integrated rail-way and spatial development of the corridor. The central goal is to publish the findings gained over the course of several years of cooperation and to discuss these with selected actors in the fore-front of the corridor's development.
