Lines and Related
R Installlations (AGTTC) elaboratedd within the framework of o the United
Nations Ecoonomic Comm mission for Eurrope,
Desirous too facilitate annd develop innternational raail and combiined transportt among and
through theiircountries as well as betweeen them and oother Europeaan countries,
Wishing to improve the quality
q and effficiency of traansport operatiions,
Agree to coo-operate in thhe endeavour to

t AGC and
AGTC Agreeement, the Trrans-Europeann Railway (TE ER) Project, according
a to the
t following
provisions.
TRANS-EU
I. THE „T UROPEAN
N RAILWA
AY (TER)” PROJECT
T
The TER
T Project consists
c of a series of objecctives and actions, which arre established
with the aimm of improvinng the qualityy and efficienncy of internaational rail annd combined
trasnport, paassenger and freight,
f on thee main internaational lines of
o the followinng countries:
Armenia, Austria,
A Bosniaa and Herzeggovina, Bulgaaria, Croatia, Czech
C Repubblic, Georgia,
Greece, Italyy, Lithuania, Poland, Rom mania, Russiann Federation, Serbia,
S Slovakkia, Slovenia
nad Turkey.
Whille these lines are not the whole
w railwayy network of the
t above cou
untries, but a
small numb ber of them, they consttitute neverthheless a conttinuous railwway network
designated hereafter
h as thhe TER Backbone Network..
The TER
T Project relates
r to the TER Backboone Network only. o It considers also the
related combbined transporrt installationss and equipmeent in the abovve countries.
II. OBJEC
CTIVES
The general
g objecttive of the TE
ER Project is to develop a coherent efficcient rail and
combined trransport systeem among Ceentral and Eaastern Europeaan countries and between
those countrries and other European cou untries.
By providing efficcient competittive services, the
t TER systeem must becom me attractive
to customerrs, both passenger and freight, and be ablea to absorbb an importan
nt part of the
international transport market
m within, from and to t Central annd Eastern Europe,
E thus
alleviating congestion anda reducingg environmenntal and saffety problems on major
international roads of thosse countries.
More specific objectives are:
A) Infrastructure development
With the exception of some short sections, the physical plan of the TER Backbone
Network is already in place. However, the infrastructure standards of many sections are far
below those indicated in the AGCand AGTC Agreements.
The objectives in this field are therefore, firstly the implementation of the TER
standards (medium term) and the upgrading of the existing infrastructure to the level
determined in the AGC and AGTC Agreements as the final target. As regards related
combined transport installations, the objective is to upgrade the existing, to develop new
ones and to provide all of them with appropriate equipment.
V. TER BUDGET
To cover expenditures required for the execution of the activities presented in the
Programme of Work, annual budgets shall be established by the Steering Committee on the
basis of:
1. Resources
a) Contributions in-kind and in-cash from member countries;
b) Contributions in-cash or in-kind from other international organizations,
national and/or private bodies and non-member countries.
The participating countries will as in-kind contribution cover all costs for carrying
out all tasks, emerging from the Programme of Work as part of the Project’s national
activities (e.g. data supply, analyses, provision of studies, experts).
2. Expenditures
The main lines of expenditures for project co-ordination are listed on the budget
page. The participating countries will continue to pay local salaries, social security
contributions and other emoluments of national staff both working within each country for
the Project and delegated to participate in meetings, courses, etc. Special study items
included in the Programme of Work and allocated to certain countries will be financed
through the project budget.
