The EGTC is committed to the planning and technical implementation of the new Dresden - Prague railway line from a regional perspective. A good example is hereby the active support of the INTERREG Va project “Cross border cooperation for the develop-ment of railway transport Saxony - Czech Republic ”. Under the project management of the Czech railway infrastructure company Správa železnic, the Saxon State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Labor and Transport (SMWA) and the Jan-Evangelista-Purkyně-University Ústí nad Labem have evaluated the transport and socio-economic impact of the new railway line in the border area.
An example of the travel-time reduction for selected relations can be found in the table below. Another focal point of the project were detailed geological investigations of the planned route corridor of the railway line, which were carried out by the Saxon State Agency for Environment, Agriculture and Geology (Sächsisches Landesamt für Umwelt, Landwirtschaft und Geologie - LfULG) and the Czech geological survey (Česká geologická služba - ČGS). See also the explanations on the left page.
Furthermore, the EGTC is project partner in the Central Europe project CORCAP. The project title stands for “Capitalising TEN-T corridors for regional development and logistics 10 partners from Ger-many, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary cooperate in the improvement of rail freight connec-tions along the Orient/East Med corridor as well as in the intensified coordination of corridor-related spatial planning. “Corridor Capitalisation Plans” are aimed to show for
selected areas - among those the Saxon-Czech border region - which impact the transport corridor has on spatial development and which regional contribution can strengthen its functionality.
As results, proposals and recommendations are expected which contribute to the activation of economic potentials and cross-border networking as well as to the promotion of environmentally friendly transport modes.

From the entirety of the research and investigations carried out since 2011, a geological 3-D model was developed in 2015 and extended to a cross-border geological model in 2019, which serves as a basis for the first drilling work.

An essential factor in the calculation of any tunnel project is the geology. The geological services of Saxony and the Czech Republic have cooperated in the basic research: This resulted in a map with new knowledge of geology and tectonics in the cross-border area and, based on this, a map of the geologi-cal/geotechnical problem zones. These served as a basis for the preparation of geological sections along the 7 route variants that were considered in the regional planning procedure.

The project is in the stage of basic determination and pre-planning. Therefore, on the German side the spatial planning procedure (Raumordnungs-verfahren - ROV) is carried out. The spatial planning procedure will verify the route variants regarding to their compatibility with the objectives of regional spatial planning. In this analysis it has to be deter-mined which physical spatial interventions are associated with the construction project. Criteria's are the effects on humans and the environment, landscape, noise, geology as well as on the topog-raphy.To assessing their regional effects, route variants are evaluated, which are suitable to reach the aims of the planned project (see also the adjacent map). For the implementation of the spatial planning procedure, individual studies are prepared and external experts, environmental authorities and also citizens' initiatives as well as other public interest parties are involved.In the Free state of Saxony, the responsible author-ity is the regional management authority (Landesdi-rektion) Saxony. The DB Netz AG acts as applicant
and projectdeveloper. Together with the authority and supported by the EGTC, the DB Netz AG organizes the dialog with citizens for the border-crossing infrastructure project.The spatial planning procedure will not lead to the final determination of the precise route and is not specific to the level of individual land plot parcels. This will be done in the following pre-planning stage by DB Netz AG. Further on, the pre-planning results will be evaluated in detail within the framework of the zoning procedure (Planfeststellungsverfahren). The public will be comprehensively involved in this process. The responsible authority for this process in Germany will be the Federal Railway Authority (Eisenbahnbundesamt - EBA).The finalisation of the regional planning procedure is expected in 2020. Probably from 2025, the project will be discussed in the Czech and German parliaments. Afterwards, the implementation of the approval planning (Genehmigungsplanung) starts.The actual construction work can start after the finalisation of the zoning procedure.
The EGTC shall focus on the following tasks:
¢ to provide political, technical, organisational and communication-related support to national authorities and decisionmakers who determine the implementation of the project;¢ to coordinate preparatory and project-related work linked to the project;¢ to develop public relations, with the aim to achieve broad public support for the project;¢ to intensify cross-border cooperation between stakeholders along the OEM corridor, with a view to connecting transport modes more effectively;¢ to attract funding to finance project-related activities
The European Grouping for Territorial Cooperation (EGTC) for the new line railway Dresden – Prague, which was founded in April 2016 supports the project in a technical, administrative and political way. This is aimed to be performed in close cooper-ation with both project developer and the Saxon Geological Survey at the Saxon State Agency (LfULG), determined in an agreement signed in May 2019 and April 2020. The purpose of the EGTC is to carry out preparatory and support activities for the new Dresden-Prague rail line for freight and long-distance passenger services. The EGTC shall provide a solid foundation for this, facilitating and promoting cross border territorial cooperation between its members, and strengthening economic, social and territorial cohesion among them.
The increasing international cooperation within the EU and with the neighbouring states leads to growing transport volumes which cannot be incor-porated by one transport mode only. Therefore, multimodal transnational corridors in a core network are required. The Orient / East-Med Corridor belongs to the nine core network corridors of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) and will connect Central Europe with the ports in the North and Baltic Sea as well as in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. It also integrates the rail freight corridors 7 and 8 as well as the ERTMS-corridor E.Thereby the corridor will support the development of the seaports as important multimodal logistics platforms and will improve the accessibility of the most important economic centres in Central Europe.The corridor includes the railway as well as the road connection and the inland waterway Elbe. It crosses nine member states of the European Union: Ger-many, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece and Cyprus. Furthermor it provides a connection to Turkey.
