During the TEN-T Days Conference, held in Rotterdam on the 21st of June 2016, eight Ministers of EU Countries located along the Orient East-Med Corridor signed on the initiative of TEN-T Coordinator Mathieu Grosch a declaration aiming at removing bottlenecks and at improving the rail transport among their Countries. The declaration has been signed by all those countries placed from the North of Germany south-eastwards through the Czech Republic, Austria, Slovak Republic, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria, to the Southern coast of Greece.The main goals of the measurements the transport ministers agreed upon by signing the Declaration are to improve punctuality and average transit times between the countries for freight trains, as well as to increase the corridor’s attractiveness, transport potential and competitiveness. To realise these aims, national action in the involved states is as important as effective crossborder coordination procedures. This requires deepened cooperation between all involved, the recognition and sharing of examples of best practice and commitments to cross-border agreements.
