Beschreibung

The project consists of the modernisation of 58km of an existing dual electrified railway line in the Silesian and Malopolskie regions between Sosnowiec Jezor and Krakow Mydiniki in southern Poland.

Ziele

The project will be located on the TEN T comprehensive network, according to the proposed revision of the TEN T guidelines. The project will increase the quality of rail services provided in Poland as well as promote longer distance travel by rail by improving interoperability between Member States. The project will thereby enhance sustainable transport in line with EU objectives. The project is also located in a convergence zone and by facilitating access promotes regional development. The project is therefore eligible under Article 309 point (a) projects to develop less developed regions as well as point (c) common interest. The project is expected to be co-funded under the 2007-2013 Operational Program Infrastructure and Environment. JASPERS is supporting the preparation of the application to the OPIE. The project’s compliance with the Lending Policy for Transport (Decision CA/452/11) is to be confirmed during appraisal.

Umweltaspekte

The project falls under Annex II of EIA Directive 85/337/EEC, as amended, and was screened in by the Competent Authorities. Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) have been performed and the Competent Authorities gave their positive Environmental Decision (ED) for all sections of the project at various times during 2008 and 2012 (four decisions plus one amended decision, all from two different regions). The project lies adjacent to Krzeszowice Site of Community Interest (PLH120044) and is located in the vicinity of a number of other Natura 2000 sites. Outside these European protected areas, various protected species may also be impacted by the project. So the provisions of the Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) and Birds Directive (2009/147/EC) apply. This is to be further appraised.
