The data on the performance of the corridor is published in the Multi-Annual plan, which is issued
every year. The plans provide an overview on the status of the network as well as recent developments
and future perspectives. The information is based on an analysis of the data available in SEETIS 3, as
well as recent studies that are conducted on specific aspects of the corridor.

Promotion and stakeholder consultation
Promotion of the corridor
As laid down in the MoU, the SEETO secretariat tasks include contributing towards public visibility and
awareness of SEETO, its main role and responsibilities and its structures. This is achieved in two ways:
online through SEETO’s website and SEETIS 3, and in official documents published by SEETO:
Website: contains a multitude of work and presentations of any of its institutions, most notably the
secretariat and working groups;
SEETIS 3: an online available GIS application to access data on the performance of the corridor;
Multi-Annual Plans contain three main topics: the current state of the network in terms of condition
and traffic, the status of plans being implemented, and the policy interventions that are being
planned or recommended for the future;
Investment report: overview of the investments in the SEETO network since 2014 in terms of the
size and origin of disbursed and committed investments.
The dissemination and public presentation of SEETO has recently been evaluated by a study issued by
the European Commission (European Commission, 2014). The study recommends that SEETO
publishes three more official documents, related to sustainability, status of projects and the status of
SEETO infrastructure, as well as using more appealing graphic representation of the information.
Moreover, the SEETO has been using a Priority Projects Rating Methodology since 2012, with the goal
in mind to provide transparency to external financiers with an objective and consistent view on the
quality of the projects nominated for implementation of the SEETO network.
