Kiev peaceful for Euro 2012

2008-07-15T12:51:00.000-07:00

Ukraine still awaits a lot of work on preparations for Euro 2012 - said the head of UEFA Michel Platini during yesterday's visit to Kiev. His rating on the Polish preparations were considerably more optimistic. -- If this project will be carried out as in recent months, will complete a full success - Platini said Wednesday after his visit to Warsaw. The Ukrainian partners to ensure the UEFA delegation that meet expectations. -- We will even do impossible to become a championship celebration for the entire world, and Ukraine wili be proved a reliable partner - said Prime Minister Julia Tymoshenko.

The biggest objection of the UEFA delegation was reconstruction of the Olympic stadium in Kiev. Demolition of private entertainment center blocking escape routes arena began just before the visit of Platini. Why so late?

Yevhen Czerwonenko, the head of national agency for Euro 2012 in Ukraine: We need to complete the payment of compensation to the landlord construction. If you want to private investors not afraid to appear on the Ukrainian market, we need to be reliable. We want to give them a clear and straightforward message that all actions are in accordance with the law.

On the organisation of championships in Ukraine, investors will have to spend 20 billion dollars. Unstable political situation in Kiev probably does not help in creating a good climate for investors.

Preparations are in accordance with the schedule, and delays result from the need to respect the time limits provided for the law and procedures. Political life will not affect the decision of investors willing to spend money to host the event. Serious Ukrainian business has already invested in the construction of high-class stadiums and the development of local infrastructure. The big business follow others, including foreign entrepreneurs. Preparations for Euro will be financed as preferential loans granted by the European and U.S. financial institutions. Our government already has received on this specific proposals.

You said that expenditure from the Ukrainian budget for the organisation of the championships is only 0.39 percent. Is not Mr. worried?

I spoke on this issue with Prime Minister Julia Tymoshenko. She contend that the situation will change any time soon. I would like to believe it. I would not make tragedy from the lack of public funds. We can prepare for the organisation of the event by using private capital.

What about the laws that simplify way for investors to obtain concessions for the construction of hotels?

We proposed a draft law entitled. "The only investment window." Significantly, it facilitates the procedure for receipt of permits to carry out investments, which are on the list of projects Euro 2012. If adopted, investors would not wait to obtain concessions for two years, but for example, a few months. The draft law also examining the proposals in all ministries at the same time.

In what Poland can help Ukraine in its preparations for the championships?

We want to cooperate especially in the field of logistics and security, because, in my opinion, these areas are essential to the success of the project. We are interested also how you managing this project.

The biggest delays are in the field of air transport.

- UEFA assumes that 50 percent of supporters in euro 2012 poland will fly for ME and that the planes arrive at an average of 10 hours prior to the game, and 10 hours after it wish to return. These indicators must be matched airport. Equally important are parking places for planes. For this reason, among others added to our project airports spare. According to UEFA, if we can done all our plans and assumptions - will be fine. Now we are waiting for the start of construction work at airports in Gdansk, Wroclaw and Poznan - said Herra.

I am convinced that we can do a better tournament, which is no worse in their organization, because we are able to prepare an adequate transportation, security, medical care, etc..

Even the good of the organization is not enough for success - assessed Herra.

Wroclaw - building a new stadium at 44 thousand. viewers in Maślicach - for some $ 400 million. Geolodzy doing boreholes, checking whether the land is suitable for construction. Improved the airport must be built quickly and tram airport-center. Budowana is also bypass transportation.

Well ... this vision is becoming a more realistic ...

euro 2012

2008-06-25T10:55:00.001-07:00

On Friday past year after the granting of Poland and Ukraine Euro 2012. Investments are in its day and already know that with some things we will not succed in making in time. With a list of planned investment of Euro 2012 before we can, in principle, to exclude the other thread Subway construction in Warsaw and the rebuilding of Warsaw railway stations. Certainly not succed in making also build high-speed rail. If road construction will proceed in such a pace as in the last year, we will do not organize this event.SuperLaw Adoption of Euro 2012 and for making it easier for foreigners wishing to work in Poland is the biggest success during the year from Poland and Ukraine to grant rights to hosting the European championships in soccer.

The total costs associated with the organization of Euro 2012 is very difficult to estimate. It is said at least one of the dozens of billions of euros. Most of these investments, and so would be carried out - only a bit later. On the construction of the motorway network by 2012 issue of at least 16 billion zloty. Until that still need to add renovation and construction of express roads. General Directorate for National Roads and Highways estimated the total cost of construction of the road network at Euro 2012 at 26 billion zloty. Few have less money to spend on the modernisation of 1.2 thousand. km of railway lines and renovation of railway stations. You have yet to build six stadiums and expand eight airports. We need to build hotels and access roads to the stadiums. This is a very long list of needed investment - almost exactly the same as long as a year ago, when jointly with Ukraine received the right to Euro. The money - is not a problem

Paradoxically, it appears that the biggest problem is not money. Until 2013, we can invest in our country 67 billion euros of EU funds. There are no obstacles that most of this money was somehow linked to Euro 2012. The main obstacle in the organization's largest sporting event in Europe is Polish law, and exactly our procedures for tendering and construction. Even simpler, thanks to the Law on the Euro 2012, does not guarantee that all investments will be finish before the year 2012.

Only the construction of the National Stadium in Warsaw in its entirety is to finance the state budget. In other cities, the government subsidy would be 30 percent. of the total investment. The rest of money local governments must find themselves. One idea is to sell the name of the stadium or sell the surrounding land for commercial purposes. Over the wonders of Gdansk, but you have to do it very carefully, so as not to be repeated event of Kiev, where, under pressure from UEFA, it was necessary to order the demolition of the shopping centre lying too close to the stadium.

In addition to the construction of stadiums, which will be held games, has created a network of smaller stadiums training. 80 cities want to build such a training centre to be bases for national teams participating in Euro 2012. No decisions have not yet taken, and in 2012 we must have at least 16 such centres.

If you can achieve the rebuilding of the 1.2 thousand. km of railways, among the cities in which matches will take place, trains will travel at a speed of 200 km / h. According to Adrian Furgalski from the Group of Economic Advisers line in the best case, before the Euro will manage to achieve 60-70 percent. planned repair. And so this meant that a substantial amount of converting 800 km of roads and railways will surely jump civilization. It will of course have to invest in modern warehouses railway, which will be able to travel with such speed. They are to issue another billion by 2012.

Experts also fear that we will not succed in making in time with the construction of motorways. In 2007 the service was given only 32 km of motorways, and this time, construction work going on just 110 kilometres. To make it to Euro, this year you must give at least 176 kilometers of motorways. If the current pace continues, necessary to build their network finished in 2030. Meanwhile months wloką matters related to obtaining building permits, environmental arrangements, or buy-back land. There probably also will avoid subsequent challenge by the company, which already lose. Cezary Grabarczyk, the minister of infrastructure, announced that this year is to be initiated the process of investment for 600 km of motorways. For now, they are unfortunately rather pears in wierzbie.

Probably the least concern for the construction of hotels. This is definitely a problem, however, underestimated. For Portugal, the year that the championships were held in Europe, about przyjechało 10 million tourists. They had somewhere to eat and somewhere to live. Somewhere - not to say so how. It is important for us that the fans who come to Poland, remember our country well. Only Krakow attaches great importance to the development of a network hotels. At this time, it is planned to construct 40 new hotels. The biggest problems are, however, from cheap hotels. In Poland, per 10 thousand inhabitants account for only 45 beds hotel, which puts Poland on one of the last places in Europe. It is estimated that the Euro has caused further 30 thousand hotel beds. Across Poland, including kampingami and biwakowymi fields, is 600 thousand. beds. Unfortunately, most of them do not in places from the point of view of the Euro. With the cities selected for the Euro in the best situation is to Gdansk, which the city and its surroundings have almost 100 thousand. beds. Most luxury hotels in Warsaw, the capital, however, has only 25 thousand. beds. Poznan is the largest trade fair centre in Poland, but accommodation can be found in the more or less the same number of tourists as in the capital.The worst situation in this respect is in Wroclaw, where fans will now only 17 thousand. beds.Improvement in this respect rather no one expects, because it no one chooses to build the hotel only for one event.
