9 1. Inventory of cross-border rail connections and missing links

10 2. Analysis of possible new rail connections and discussion missing of alternatives links on the internal EU borders "Analyse the economic potential, viability, network relevance and investment need of possible new railway connections and identify alternatives, where appropriate"

11 2. Analysis of possible new rail connections and discussion missing of alternatives links on the internal EU borders

12 3. Identification of potentially most beneficial projects and policy conclusions

13 3. Identification of potentially most beneficial projects and policy conclusions

14 3. Identification of potentially most beneficial projects and policy conclusions Policy conclusions partly deal with the two dimensions of the workshop: How to shape development policies at regional level that consider different functional areas, which may go beyond administrative boundaries, including beyond regional and national borders How to set up governance mechanisms that would help the implementation of such policies

15 3. Identification of potentially most beneficial projects and policy conclusions Policy conclusions (extract): R4: Funding for cross-border infrastructure projects should also be available for lines that are not part of the Core and the Comprehensive TEN-T networks. R5: For the opening or reopening of a new railway line in many cases the full passenger potential can only be reached after a start-up phase of several years. Seed funding can help operators or competent authorities to launch such services. R10: The authors emphasise the importance of creating a dedicated coordinator for small cross-border projects beyond the TEN-T network. R13: Cooperation structures should be set up and used to support implementation of cross-border projects.
