Project objectives:

The overall project objective is the establishment and implementation of an effective and coordinated SETA framework, promoting and fostering the institutional cooperation between PEC structures and member states in order to reach the EU’s objectives of (i) transparency and information reliability; (ii) develop of an harmonised and efficient institutional framework and (iii) rapid implementation of the transport priority projects. This overall objective could be reached by the implementation of a specific WP1 in compliance with EU recommendations (in particular HLG Report, 2005-2007, EC Comprehensive Monitoring Reports and COM (2008) 125 final). PECs have similar problems above all regarding administration and exchange of information. SEETAC will enable this exchange, in coordination with EC SFC 2007-Electronic Data Exchange project, the identification of common problems and solutions in order to attain the common mobility (good, capitals and people) standards for the whole EU territory.

Project activities:

• Istitutional coordination to build an effective SETA framework and network in compliance with recent EU transport policies (i.e. HLG Report and COM(2008) 125 final);
• Establishment of an institutional and transparent communication system;
• Implementation of a coordinated database management system;
• Definition of multi-modal traffic scenarios and common mobility standards and environmental (EIA & SEA) guidelines;
• Identification of necessary financial resources and financing mechanisms;
• Finalisation of SEE Spatial Planning.

Expected results:

• Established transnational transport framework and regular SETA organisational/administrative reports (Operational Manual, Audit / Administrative / Progress / WP Reports);
• Information management system including communication plan and tools; regular meetings of Ministers of Transport, PEC bodies, EC and Donors;
• Electronic database management system including traffic, social, environmental and economic data;
• Multi-modal traffic scenario study identifying good practices and recommendations;
• Common multimodal transport standards and EIA/SEA guidelines;
• Priority project fiches & application documents to be submitted to donors for financing and financial report;
• SEE Spatial Plan / SETA Strategy compatible with the SEETO Action Plan.

These results could be easily transferred to other EU Transport Axis, in particular to Central Axis, where another coincidence of CE Programme eligible area exists.
