As part of the 20th Assembly Meeting of the EGTC Rhine-Alpine took place on November 29, 2024, in Karlsruhe, a position paper concerning German rail projects was approved.

The paper emphasises that the Rhine-Alpine Corridor is a crucial part of European rail transport and economic development for the Federal Republic of Germany. However, it remains a bottleneck in the European transport network, requiring expansion, new construction, and upgrading to maintain contact with industrialised nations like the USA and China. The Federal Republic of Germany must prioritise German projects along the corridor and accelerate their implementation. An efficient and resilient transport network in the German part of the Rhine-Alpine corridor is essential for ensuring important economic and transport flows in Europe. Investments along the axis should be secured and expanded, keeping pace with neighbouring countries’ expansion and construction projects and resolving bottlenecks along the Rotterdam-Genoa axis.
