Transport corridor strategy in focus as TRACECA Permanent Secretariat meets in Kyiv
03-09-2010
The Permanent Secretariat of the Intergovernmental Commission (IGC) TRACECA is meeting today, 3 September, in Kyiv, Ukraine, according to a press release from the EU-funded Transport Programme. Participants include the Secretary General Mr Zhantoro Satybaldyev, permanent representatives and experts from the Secretariat, as well as representatives of the European Commission.
TRACECA (Transport Corridor Europe-Caucasus-Asia) is an international transport cooperation programme between the EU and its Partner countries in Eastern Europe, South Caucasus and Central Asia. The cooperation framework covers the areas of maritime transport, aviation, road and rail, transport security, and transport infrastructure.
Among the key issues for discussion today is the implementation of the IGC TRACECA Strategy for development of the Europe-Caucasus-Asia international transport corridor for the period up to 2015, aimed at the creation of a sustainable infrastructure chain ensuring multi-modal transport with step-by-step integration of the corridor into the Trans-European Transport Networks (TENs).
Other issues involve programme budgeting, as well as preparations for TRACECA Investment Forum to be held on 12 October 2010, in Brussels.
