2 2 Monitoring Impacts of EU - Infrastructure Programmes 1 Introduction 2 Transeuropean Networks 3 Strategic Assessment 4 Assessment with CBA and CGE/SDM 5 Megaprojects and their Risks 6 Financing Issues 7 Monitoring and the Role of NGOs

3 1 Introduction 3 1 White Paper and the TEN Revision European Interest versus Country Interest 3 Increasing Complexity: PPP and Concession Finance 4 Experience from Megaprojects 5 Failures in Public and Private Regimes 6 Necessity of an Independent Observatory 7 Particular Role of NGOs

4 2 Transeuropean Networks 4 European Policy Guide: White Paper 2001: Time to Decide 1 Shifting the balance between modes of transport 2 Eliminating bottlenecks 3 Placing the users at the heart of transport policy 4 Managing the globalisation of transport

5 2 TEN 5

6 3 TEN Strategic Assessment Criteria for Selecting the Corridors 6 1 Accessibility 2 Traffic Loads/Bottlenecks; Share of International Traffic 3 Economic Impacts (Generalised Cost, Time Savings and Cost Reductions) 4 Environmental Impacts

7 7 3 TEN Assess

8 3 TEN Assess 8

9 Road particulates 9 3 TEN Assess The costs caused by road congestion in a region j are estimated by following formula: Ź, Ź where Ź basic value of time from UNITE by trip purpose p Ź CF C correction factor for country C the region j and the link i belongs to Ź t s,i difference in travel time on road link i during time slice s compared to travel time under free-flow condition d s duration of time slice s within a whole year traffic volume on link i during time panel s, differentiated by vehicle type vt Ź

10 4 Assessment with CBA and CGE/SDM 10 Standard CBA - Benefits 1 Mandatory Impacts - - Time Savings Savings of Operation Costs - - Change of Variable Infrastructure Cost Change of Accident Costs 2 Discretionary Impacts - Environmental Impacts - Climate Change - Spatial Impacts

11 4 Assessment with CBA and CGE/SDM Standard CBA - Benefits 1 Problem Area I - Country-based CBA not Comparable - Ex: Lyon - Turin High Speed Project 11 2 Problem Area II - European Value is not Equal to the Sum of Country Values - National Companies don t Consider International Benefits 3 Problem Area III - Scales are not Comparable with Private Investments - Political Appraisal Bias

12 4 Assessment with CBA and CGE/SDM SGE/SDM 1 Computed General Equilibrium Models - Consideration of Horizontal Interdependencies - Mainstream Economic Welfare Analysis 12 2 System Dynamic Modelling - Consideration of Horizontal and Vertical Interdependencies - Modelling of Staged Policies 3 Most Important Issues - Identification of Overall Net Benefits and their Spatial Distribution - Construction of Complete Scenarios (Investment and Finance)

13 4 Assessment with CBA and CGE/SDM SDM 13 TEN investments in the TIPMAC BAU scenario [Mio*EURO/year] Austria Belgium+Luxemburg Danmark Spain Finland France United Kingdom Germany Greece Ireland Italy Netherlands Portugal Sweden

17 5 Megaprojects and their Risks Examples 17 1 Channel Tunnel, Oeresund (in Operation) 2 NEAT Tunnels (under Construction) 3 Further Alpine Tunnel Projects 4 Fehmarn-Belt 5 Strait of Messina 6 Spanish Rail Interoperability

18 6 Financing Issues European Assistance 18 1 The Megaproject Financial Rule(FBR): - Add 50% to Cost Figures - Subtract 30% from Estimated Demand 2 Procurement Including a Company outside the Public Budget - Example of the Oeresund Project % Rule of FBR Clear Risk Allocation

19 6 Financing Issues European Assistance 19 3 Financial Volume for TENT: bill. in total bill. for the High Priority Projects bill. in the Period Presently available: 700 mill. per year 4 Financial Contributions - 20 % EU Funding (for Cross Border or Cross Natural Barrier Projects, up to 50% in Cross-border Sections) - Private Contributions: 20% - Rest of Funding: Member States, EIB

20 7 Monitoring, Role of NGOs Government Failures 20 1 Process of Procurement - Lobby Groups; Projects and Political Career - State as a Promoter - Systematic Underestimation of Costs and Overestimation of Benefits - No Interest in Ex-post Evaluation 2 Possible Change - Role of Coordinator and Protector of Social Interest as well as of the Environment - Clear Set of Performance Specifications - Quality Control. Observatory of Progress

21 7 Monitoring, Role of NGOs Private Failures 21 1 Process of Procurement - Lobbying for Projects, Rent Seeking Behavior - Partial Optimisation, Fragmentation of the Networks - Reinvestment in Value Adding Segments - No Interest in Strict Auditing 2 Possible Change - Public Framework for Concession Finance - Shorter Life of Concessions, Tender - Benchmarking (Yardstick Competition) - Improved Contracts (No Cost-plus Contracts)

22 7 Monitoring, Role of NGOs Role of NGOs 22 1 Participation in Project Procurement - Setting Performance Criteria (Economic, Social, Environmental) - Representing the Stakes of Users and Taxpayers - Protecting the Groups Exposed to Harmful Impacts 2 Participation in Quality Control and Auditing - Observatory for Project Development - Construction and Operation Phase - Benchmarking - Control of Recontracting and Tendering Processes
