The goal of the Community, patent in recent years, is quite clear: international transport trains should be able to
cross borders without administrative and legal obstacles (Ministry of Development, 2003).
The current rail situation at the border is such that from 240 million tons of goods that crossed the Pyrenees in
recent years by all modes (including maritime), the railway and combined mode (rail-road) involved only 2%. If the
distribution of such traffics is observed, it is confirmed that 87% of the traffic goes through the coastal highway and
the rest is distributed by other channels, and only 4% flows via the inland roads. This results in the channels of the
Atlantic and Mediterranean corridors being saturated comparatively speaking with other existing in the Pyrenees,
and due to the difficult terrain, they do not accommodate high freight traffic through the area.
Among the top priority objectives of the EU with respect to in commitment to the railway mode, it should be
noted: to clear the railway cross-border channels, especially in the East and West, which are running out of
possibilities; and optimize an existing railway corridor and passenger released by the implementation of high-speed
lines, both in Spain and in France.
In April 2011, the European Commission published the new Transport White Paper under the heading "European
Transport Strategy 2050. The roadmap Transport 2050. Towards a single transport area". This document includes
various proposals to reduce the dependence on the oil sector and carbon emissions (European Community, 2011a).
In this regard, the Commission advocates a policy in which the modal shift of freight transport from road to rail has
special relevance, thus following the guidelines already included in the previous White Paper. The Transport 2050
roadmap also aims to remove major barriers and bottlenecks in many key areas across the fields of transport
infrastructure and investment, innovation and the internal market.
The extension of the main routes to the future Member States should contribute to the success of enlargement and
to offer the Union a new opportunity to reduce congestion by promoting intermodality.
