CORRIDOR I

At present the Corridor is divided into three separate components:

Via Baltica (road component):

Via Baltica (E67) stretches from Tallinn to Warsaw. The objective is to create a European quality road
and to facilitate trade and communications between Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland
and to other eastern and western European countries.

CORRIDOR III

The Pan-European Transport Corridor III is a multimodal east-west transport link running from Berlin
and Dresden via Wroclaw, Katowice, Krakow and L’viv to Kiev; thus linking important industrial areas
in Germany, Poland and the Ukraine.

CORRIDOR IV

From its starting point in Germany, Corridor IV runs south-eastwards through Prague, and Győr in
Hungary, to Budapest and then over the Romanian border to Arad. Here the corridor splits, with an
eastern branch running to Constanţa at the Black Sea, and a southern branch running towards
Thessaloniki and Istanbul. Major parts of this corridor run through countries which are new EU
members or candidates to join the EU. The corridor can thus be seen as the backbone of the Trans-
European Transport Network (TEN-T) extended eastwards and southwards.

The corridor encompasses most of the TEN-T priority railway axis no. 22, running from Dresden to
Athens. The following TEN-T railway priority sections have been established on Corridor IV: ƒ

-Nuremberg-Prague-Brno-Breclav ƒ

-Vienna-Budapest ƒ

-Curtici-Arad-Brasov ƒ

-Vidin-Sofia-Kulata

It also encompasses parts of TEN-T priority motorway axis no. 7 (Igoumenitsa/PatraAthina-Sofia-

Budapest). Corridor IV was defined on the Pan-European Transport Conference on Crete in 1994. The
Memorandum of Understanding was signed by the Ministers of Transport of the respective countries
and by the European Commission in May 1999 in Warsaw. The task of the technical secretariat was
assigned to DiaLog Gesellschaft für Service und Kommunikation mbH, Germany.
