| The
objectives of TEM project |
The objectives of the project are divided
in three categories, Operational objectives, Specific
objectives and General objectives. (The General objectives
"outcomes" of the project are coinciding with
the above mentioned needs that the project seeks to
address):
(i) The operational
objectives (outputs) of the project are:
| - |
The assistance
in accelerating of the construction of TEM network
through the identification of investment needs and
priorities, investigation of financial resources
needed for TEM construction and the determination
of appropriate and innovative pay-back systems for
use at the TEM motorway |
| - |
The assistance
in designing, building, maintaining, operating and
administrating of the TEM motorway network on the
territories of participating states |
| - |
The assistance
in extending the TEM by including into the basic
agreed network new links oriented East-West direction
across the North-South axis of TEM |
| - |
The assistance
in consolidating the role of the TEM in the progress
of transport integration in Europe |
| - |
The promotion
and improvement of co-operation in all matters concerning
road transport between TEM states having different
levels of development |
| - |
The continuation
of knowledge dissemination, expertise and know-how
developed so far in the TEM region to other regions
of the world |
(ii) The specific objectives (results)
of the project are:
|
- |
The co-ordinated actions of the
participating countries for the creation of a
Trans-European Motorway (TEM) network, that will
form a system of high capacity roads ensuring
an adequate quality of service for traffic by
providing safety, speed and comfort, based on
commonly accepted and adopted standards and practices
recommended for use by all TEM countries. This
network shall: |
|
- |
Link the
Northern and the Southern and South -Eastern parts
of Europe, from Baltic Sea to Adriatic, Aegean and
Black Seas, via the participating countries |
|
- |
Ensure
a balanced system for transportation of goods and
people between countries of Eastern, Central and
Western parts of Europe, in particular those situated
along its North - South axis |
|
- |
Satisfy
the transport demand of long - distance and international
traffic by offering an efficient and convenient
mode of transport |
|
- |
Constitute
an important transit artery between the participating
states linking them with adjacent states of Europe,
North Africa and Central Asia |
