THE EUROPEAN TRANSPORT POLICY RELEVANCE : A COMPARISON BETWEEN THE MEDITERRANEAN ARC AND THE CORE REGIONS

The main goal of this paper is to determine the conditions for ITS to be useful in European space balancing, using the Mediterranean Arc as an alternative axis. In order to establish infrastructure profiles of concerned regions and zones, we confront two types of indicators which allow us to evacuate geographic and demographic disproportion between the two zones. Since 1978 infrastructure hierarchy is stable : the Core Region is largely better equipped than the Mediterranean. Brussels priorities reinforce the imbalance of the European space. The solution does not lie in material investment races but in a more relevant control of existing networks, at a European scale, and in regard to MTS configuration and Economic context
