THE “GRAND” POTENTIAL (tons)
The mentioned Feasibility Study forecasted (in 1999) a
traffic in Y2005 along PE 5/8 (assuming they would have been
completed!) and along via Egnatia of
23,800,000 ton of goods (ca. 10% on rail)
From/To Central Europe
From/To Italy
… And so distributed:
75% in the range that goes from Ancona to Brindisi
25% in the range that goes from Ravenna to Trieste (Koper)
…
In addition, the potential might shift from road to rail
(according to their final destination)

Other elements … Foreign Direct Investments (FDI’s)
According to ICE, Italian businesses in Greece are mostly
SME’s.
Therefore, official statistics might not be accurate enough,
for SME’s directly manage their affairs via local agents and
distributors.
Nevertheless, Italian businesses have been experimenting
some other forms of investments...
GREECE – ITALY
Italian FDI’s in Greece were about 160 millions € (Ufficio
Italiano Cambi) in Y2002.
FDI’s meant to:
- Maximize the internal market of Greece
- Take advantage of geographic position of Greece, an
access door to the Balkans and SE of Europe

GENERALLY SPEAKING…
Transadriatic services in short sea shipping
Adriatic and Ionian corridor is profitably served by Europe Far East services (container).
But freight and passenger flows that travel on shorter routes
are an essential component of cities (ports) along our Med
coastlines.
Although a catch up is needed (and it takes time!)
in order to respond to tourist and commercial
increasing demands
(refer to cruise business, for example)…
GENERALLY SPEAKING…
If we assume that
1)Road infrastructures have, in average, shorter
programming/realization time than railways,
2)East – West corridors (mainly road ones) have
shorter realization time than North – South
ones
…
… than
Adriatic and Ionian corridor is the natural answer
to mobility needs generated from/to central
Europe and Greece, the Balkans, Turkey … and
farther away
via existing intermodal transport services (road –
sea – road) – Ro/Ro, Ro/Pax ships
and planned services road – sea – railway
(intermodal train services)

… WHERE WERE WE, THEN?
1.
GENERAL FRAMEWORK –
addressed in Ancona, JULY 2004
2.
PAST INTERREG EXPERIENCES –
to be addressed in technical committee
3.
ANALYSIS –
to be addressed in technical committees (Action 1
+ Action 2)
4.
Goal of Action 1
Networking around a data base project which will
be mirroring the existing stock of infrastructures for
freight and passenger in the area
3.
ANALYSIS – The Starting Up Of Action 1
FIRST OF ALL, … DEALING WITH SURVEYS IS NOT A SIMPLE MATTER
WE NEED TO PROCEED WITH THE ANALYSIS, TO BETTER THE
STANDARDIZATION OF COLLECTED DATA (HELP IN FIND OUT A
COMMON FORMAT IS NEEDED)
SO, THE FORTHCOMING MONTHS ARE TO BE USED TO ACQUIRE
A STANDARD FORMAT FOR DATA
3.
ANALYSIS – Preliminary Recognitions Of
Action 1
A EVERY PARTNER BETTER SPECIFY OWNERSHIP/LEGAL STATUS (+ A
CONTACT PERSON FOR I.T. MATTERS)
B IT IS POSSIBLE TO IDENTIFY A GENERAL TREND OF SPECIALIZATION
C Y2000 ~ Y2003 PATTERN OF CARGO THROUGHOUTPUT IN ADRIATIC IS A
GROWING ONE: HOW ABOUT YEAR 2004?
D A DIFFERENT PATTERN OF DEVELOPMENT IS RECOGNIZABLE
E EVERY PARTNER INDICATE (IF POSSIBLE) NATURE OF PROCEDURES
TO COORDINATE DIFFERENT BODIES
F THERE ARE SOME MISSING DATA THAT
IMPEDE TO EVALUATE THE STATE OF
THE ART OF I.T. IN EACH PORT
