Monitoring system of implementation of agreements and activities

It belongs to the tasks of the Permanent Secretariat to:



Provide technical and analytical support to the Authority’s organs in the form of strategy

formulation, project identification, analysis of national standards and practices, collection and

storage of data and statistics, and of any other tasks and study that may be assigned to it by the

appropriate organs of the Authority in technical, economic, institutional and legal matters;



Set performance indicators and monitors their implementation, including implementation of the

Agreement, and make periodic reports.

As the users of the Northern Corridor are being charged for its use, the Authority has the obligation to

report about its performance.

Monitoring of performance of corridors

Northern Transport Observatory

was launched, which monitors and reports regularly on

the performance of the Northern Corridor
