Conférence de haut niveau de l’UpM sur le financement du futur réseau transméditerranéen de transport (RTM-T)
Port de Rome (Civitavecchia), le 10 décembre 2014
[ufm_tabs][ufm_tab title=”Sur la conférence”]
La conférence
Suite à la Déclaration des ministres de l’UpM adoptée lors de la Conférence ministérielle sur le transport en novembre 2013, qui a souligné l’importance de la mobilisation, de façon coordonnée, de tous les fonds disponibles, et a soutenu la tenue, dès que possible, d’une conférence réunissant tous les partenaires financiers potentiels, la conférence de haut niveau se tiendra au port de Rome (Civitavecchia), le 10 décembre 2014.
Le principal objectif de la conférence est de rassembler les partenaires euro-méditerranéens, toutes les principales institutions financières européennes et internationales, les bailleurs de fonds et les entreprises privées, afin de promouvoir la mise en œuvre du réseau transméditerranéen de transport (RTM-T) et les projets prioritaires qui y sont liés, ainsi que leur connexion au réseau transeuropéen de transport (RTE-T).
Cette conférence technique analysera les outils financiers disponibles visant à fournir à l’ingénierie financière des projets RTM-T une assistance technique, des partenariats public-privé (PPP) et autres outils, en évitant les duplications et en encourageant la coordination.
C’est dans le cadre de la présidence italienne de l’UE (de juillet à décembre 2014) que le gouvernement italien accueillera la conférence, qui sera précédée d’une visite technique du port et d’un dîner de gala.
Objectifs de la conférence
- Fournir une plate-forme permettant le dialogue pour les promoteurs des projets, bailleurs de fonds et bénéficiaires afin de discuter des moyens de mobiliser et de coordonner tous les partenaires potentiels vers la mise en œuvre efficace du réseau transméditerranéen de transport (RTM-T).
- Rassembler les pays partenaires euro-méditerranéens, les principales institutions financières européennes et internationales ainsi que les bailleurs de fonds et les entreprises privées afin de mobiliser des financements pour le RTM-T et les projets prioritaires qui y sont liés.
- Analyser les outils financiers disponibles (notamment une éventuelle assistance technique et des partenariats public-privé – PPP) afin de définir l’ingénierie financière des projets liés au RTM-T, en évitant les duplications et en encourageant la coordination.
- Commencer à définir la stratégie de financement future pour le RTM-T. Les conférenciers proposeront des outils innovants et des modes de financement alternatifs. L’accent sera mis sur le rôle du secteur privé.
- Informer les participants de la manière dont le Secrétariat de l’UpM travaille conjointement avec les IFI pour promouvoir les projets régionaux liés au futur RTM-T : identification des projets, évaluation, labellisation, financements, mise en œuvre et suivi.

CONFERENCE VENUE
The Port of Civitavecchia, founded as the port of Rome by Emperor Trajan, has represented the cornerstone of exchange and contact among the people of the ancient “Mare Nostrum” for many centuries.
Civitavecchia still enjoys this privileged position today, at the centre of a modern and efficient railway, road and airport network that links the capital and central Italy to the rest of the world. Thanks to the new Port Regulating Plan, the Port of Civitavecchia has increased its commercial traffic reaching a total of two million tons of bulk goods.
It is also strategic for the access to important Italian tourist destinations and important Mediterranean cruise routes. The passenger flow increase has been favoured by a long-standing policy that also witnessed the foundation, in 1991, of the Coordination of the Middle Tyrrhenian Sea that aims at increasing Short Sea Shipping between Civitavecchia and the Sardinian ports (Olbia-Golfo Aranci, Cagliari and Porto Torres).
Civitavecchia has also become leader of cruise traffic. Development works of the wharfs and passenger welcoming structures have granted the possibility of recording a significant increase in cruise liners, going from 50 ships in 1996 to 500 in 2003. Civitavecchia aims at increasing the tourist flow with the target of becoming the most important cruise port in the Mediterranean.
CITY INFORMATION
Civitavecchia is located close to Rome, on the Northern coast of the Lazio region, and the Fiumicino Intercontinental Airport Leonardo Da Vinci is only 60 km away.
The town is well connected to the capital city: a 40-minute ride on the local train takes you to the Vatican and 1-hour ride to reach the main hub – Stazione Termini.
About 50 thousand people live in Civitavecchia and the port is one of the main job opportunities for the local population, as well as tourism in the summer season.
