Dear Subscriber,   

Welcome to the October 2013 issue of the EPN Consulting Newsletter received every month by over 2,100 selected professionals in Europe.

As always there is a lot of rich information we would like to share with you.


EPN Consulting for SMEs - NEW Service 
EPN Consulting is working hard to expand its Professionals Network and the quality of services to its members. That's why on 01 Oct 2013 six Thematic SubNets dedicated to SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) were created.
More details below.


iCapital, the European Capital of Innovation Award 

With the European Capital of Innovation Award, the European Commission wants to acknowledge the outstanding achievement of a city in building up an innovation eco-system, i.e. a system which links the citizens (People) with a built environment (Place) and public organizations and policy-makers (Public) through business (Private).  


The contest is open until 03 Dec 2013, 5:00 p.m. (Brussels time). The award of EUR 500,000 will be given to the winning city to scale up its achievement.

An independent panel of experts will judge the applications on the basis of the following criteria:

  • Innovative - Initiatives must be highly innovative in terms of concepts, processes and tools.
  • Inspiring - Proposals should manage to attract talent, funding, investment and inspire citizens' involvement and engagement.
  • Integrated - The proposal should target the entire innovation ecosystem and has to clearly highlight its links with the Europe 2020 goals.
  • Interactive - The implemented action and the proposed scale-up should help facilitating the interactions between the different actors in the innovation ecosystem.

The experts will examine and select the iCapital which will be announced in spring 2014.

EPN Consulting can help you prepare a robust and exhaustive proposal, contact us.

Transport - Multi-modal Co-operation on Passenger Terminals to ensure Sustainable Mobility needed 
IRU
Riga, 05 Sept 2013 - Speaking at the Smart Move Workshop on Passenger Terminals, the IRU publicly reiterated its demand for buses and coaches to have free and full access to terminal infrastructure, including that of other transport modes, to support the creation of an integrated, efficient and sustainable Europe-wide passenger transport network.

 

IRU Head of Passenger Transport Mr Oleg Kamberski, stressed, "Multimodal passenger transport terminals are an essential requirement in creating the truly integrated, seamless and sustainable European transport network that its citizens demand. Not only are buses and coaches routinely prevented from accessing the terminals of other modes, but in many European countries, bus and coach terminals simply do not exist. This situation is unacceptable to the millions of people that use buses and coaches every year".

 

Bus and coach access to all transport terminal infrastructure is crucial to ensure an attractive door-to-door transport solution for all passengers. European citizens must enjoy a seamless collective passenger transport service, which successfully competes with the performance and flexibility of the private car if private car users are to be encouraged to use more sustainable forms of mobility.

Transport - towards Quality Waterway Transport    

EU Brussels, 10 Sept 2013 - The Commission proposes a new action programme (NAIADES II) with measures that will improve the framework conditions for the inland waterway sector and will boost the economic and environmental performance of this transport mode.

The NAIADES I Action programme from 2006 listed over 30 actions to promote inland navigation. Many of these actions have now been finalised and the programme now needs to be updated. We need to refocus policy on the key issues of improving the economic and environmental performance of the sector.

Key facts and figures:
  • The top 5 biggest sea ports in the EU are all connected to inland waterways.

  • Every year, 140 billion tonne kilometres are transported over EU inland waterways.

  • There are over 230 inland ports in the TEN-T network, of which about 75 are part of the Core network. About 40 of these ports combine the status of inland and seaport.

  • The CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of a large inland waterway ship are only 1/3 of those of road transport.

  • Rotterdam, the largest sea port in the EU transferred in 2010 1/3 of all goods via inland waterways.

  • Europe's navigable inland waterways add up to 37,000 kilometres.

Communications - EC proposes major step forward for Telecoms Single Market    
EU
Brussels, 11 Sept 2013 - The European Commission adopted its most ambitious plan in 26 years of telecoms market reform. Launched by Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso in his 2013 State of the Union speech, the "Connected Continent" legislative package, when adopted, will reduce consumer charges, simplify red tape faced by companies, and bring a range of new rights for both users and service providers, so that Europe can once again be a global digital leader.

European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said: "Further substantial progress towards a European single market for telecoms is essential for Europe's strategic interests and economic progress. For the telecoms sector itself and for citizens who are frustrated that they do not have full and fair access to internet and mobile services. In brief: 

  • EU-wide and roaming-free mobile plans;

  • Simpler rules to help companies invest more and expand across borders;

  • First-ever EU-wide protection of net neutrality;

  • Abolishing premiums for international phone calls within Europe

We will stay focused on this target and will continue to adapt our instruments to market needs".

EU
30 Sept 2013 - The European Commission signed a grant agreement worth €4 million with a consortium of 14 European research institutes, associations and consulting companies - including 10 SMEs - for a three-year project known as "CIVITAS Capital".

Commission Vice-President Siim Kallas, responsible for Transport, said: "This grant demonstrates the continued commitment of the EU to Sustainable Urban Mobility. CIVITAS is one of the most important EU initiatives in this field, and will deliver tangible results. We need to develop further the urban dimension of our transport policy. To that end, the Commission will present a comprehensive urban mobility package later this year".

Transport - SuperHighway: A14 to become Britain's first Internet-Connected Road       
 
02 Oct 2013 - The A14, one of the UK's most congested highways, connecting the busy container port at Felixstowe (East of England) to Birmingham, is to become Britain's first Internet-connected road in a pilot project that could pave the way for everything from tolls to self-driving cars

A network of sensors will be placed along a 50-mile (80-km) stretch of the A14 in a collaboration between British Telecom, the Department for Transport and the Cambridge start-up Neul, creating a Smart Road which can monitor traffic by sending signals to and from mobile phones in moving vehicles.

 

The technology, which sends signals over the white spaces between television channels instead of mobile phone networks, could even pave the way for government systems to automatically control car speeds.

The Website of the Month: GPP 2020, Procurement for a Low-Carbon Economy
 


This month we have chosen the GPP 2020, Procurement for a Low-Carbon Economy.

In line with the special attention EPN Consulting devotes to Sustainable Mobility, Low-Carbon Economy and Europe 2020 goals, GPP 2020 aims to mainstream low-carbon procurement across Europe in support of the EU's goals to achieve a 20% reduction in GreenHouse Gas (GHG) emissions, a 20% increase in the share of renewable energy and a 20% increase in energy efficiency by 2020.

To this end, GPP 2020 will implement more than 100 low-carbon tenders, which will directly result in substantial CO2 savings. Moreover, GPP 2020 is running a capacity building programme that includes trainings and exchange.

GPP 2020 low-carbon tenders need to take potential energy and CO2 reductions into consideration straight from the beginning of the development of the tender. An initial calculation informs decision makers and procurers of the savings that can be achieved. Once the tender is awarded, all GPP 2020 low-carbon tenders are monitored and their impact is assessed by calculating the amount of energy and CO2 savings the tender achieved. For legal reasons, the methodology cannot be applied during the award phase.
