1 Geotechnical and design studies for the construc on of new rail connec on Praha-Beroun 7-CZ-9-S Part of Priority Project Commission Decision: C(8)7566 Member States involved: Czech Republic Implementa on schedule: Start date: February 8 date: March 11 Budget: Total project cost: 9,, EU contribu on: 14,5, Na onal budget: 14,5, Percentage of EU support: Studies: 5% This project focuses on the preparatory study for the construc on of the new rail connec on Praha (Prague)-Beroun. This connec on is part of the Czech Transit Railway Corridor on the branch Praha-Cheb/German border, as well as part of Priority Project, railway axis Athina-Sofia-Budapest-Wien-Praha-Nürnberg/Dresden. The study includes a geotechnical survey and the subsequent project design documenta on for the construc on of the first Czech railway network built to high-speed specifica ons. The project will contribute to improving safety and interoperability of high speed tracks on Priority Project, and considerably reduce the travel me between Prague and Nürnberg. The Mid-Term evalua on noted that the project has not started and will not be implemented as foreseen following a redefini on of the na onal strategy. The project will therefore be cancelled.

3 Studies for the development of the railway Priority Project 7-EU-7-S Part of Priority Project Commission Decision: C(8)7574 Member States involved: Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary Implementa on schedule: Start date: January 8 date: December 13 Es mated end year: 15 Budget: Total project cost: 13,, EU contribu on: 6,5, Na onal budgets: 6,5, Percentage of EU support: Studies: 5% Priority Project (Railway axis Athina-Sofia-Budapest-Wien-Praha-Nürnberg/Dresden) links the Eastern Member States of the enlarged EU through a major railway axis. Its comple on will improve connec vity between all na onal networks on the basis of common standards. The present project concerns the sec on Thessaloniki-Promachon-Kulata-Sofia-Vidin-Calafat-Craiova-Timisoara-Cur ci-lokoshaza-budapest-gyor-hegyeshalom. Part of the project involves an assessment study for the en re length of sec on (Phase A) to establish common standards. The study will suggest the technical and opera onal characteris cs in compliance with the Interoperability Technical Standards (TSI). It will be followed by technical studies for the sub-sec ons Thessaloniki-Strymon-Promachon (Greece); Radomir-Kulata (Bulgaria); Craiova-Timisoara-Arad (Romania) and Lokoshaza-Budapest-Hegyeshalom (Hungary). The Mid-Term evalua on concluded that the project is heavily delayed due to unsa sfactory coopera on between co-beneficiaries. The comple on of the project by the end of 15 is more realis c, provided that the following condi ons are met: the Coopera on Agreement enters into force before the end of 1 the contract for phase A is signed by the end of 1 the design for phase A is approved by the end of 11 the contract for phase B is signed by the end of

5 Prepara on of design for approval for the railway line sec on Biatorbagy (incl.)-tata (excl.) 7-HU--S Part of Priority Project Commission Decision: C(8)7977 Member States involved: Hungary Implementa on schedule: Start date: January 9 date: December 11 Es mated end year: 11 Budget: Total project cost:,5, EU contribu on: 1,5, Na onal budget: 1,5, Percentage of EU support: Studies: 5% The project aims at upgrading the Biatorbagy to Tata railway sec on, which is part of the Priority Project railway axis (Athina-Sofia-Budapest-Wien-Praha-Nürnberg-Dresden). It includes reconstruc ng of the sta ons and the signalling system to enable higher track capacity and provide safety for passengers. The ac vi es to be carried out in the framework of this project are the prepara on of designs for approval on the 5 km line sec on Biatorbágy (incl.)-tata (excl.), including the geode c and geotechnical survey and environmental impact assessment study. The opportunity to increase the speed to 16 km/h from the present speed of 1-14 km/h between Biatorbágy-Tata will be analysed in the study. These ac vi es will ensure that all the required documents are available in order to obtain the building and environmental permission for the scheme to be implemented. The project s aim is to cut journey mes between the Hungarian capital (Budapest) and the Austrian capital (Vienna) from the current two and three-quarter hours to two hours. The Mid-Term evalua on concluded that despite the current delay, the project is s ll likely to be completed by the end of 11 provided that the geode c ac vity is completed by the end of
