The EU TEN-T framework
Strategic framework
• White Paper for Transport
Policy framework
• TEN-T Guidelines (Regulation 1315/2013)
Funding framework
• Connecting Europe Facility (Regulation 1316/2013)
• Cohesion Fund/ ERDF
• Financial partners, such as EIB
Transport
White Paper for Transport
• By 2030:
• A fully functional multimodal TEN-T ‘core network’
• Connect all core seaports to the rail freight network
• 30% of road freight over 300km shift to rail or
waterborne transport
• By 2050:
• 60% reduction of CO2 for transport sector
• A European high-speed rail network
• Most of medium-distance passenger transport by
rail
• Connect all core network airports to rail network
Transport
New TEN-T policy
By 2030:
a single European
TEN-T core
network
By 2050:
a TEN-T
comprehensive
network, as
“ground layer”, to
ensure
accessibility

Core Network Corridors
- implementation tools • European Coordinators and Core Network Corridors
• Support the implementation of the core network
• Synchronise investments in order to optimise network
benefits
• Multimodal, involving at least 3 Member States
• Consultative Corridor Fora, with involvement of all
stakeholders
• Coordinators for ERTMS and Motorways of the Sea

Connecting Europe Facility - Transport
• Budget: €26.2 billion for TEN-T
• 14.9bn EUR for all MS
• 11.3bn EUR for Cohesion MS
•
€1.1 billion for Czech Republic
Funding priorities:
• Core Network Corridors: cross-border, bottlenecks
• Pre-identified projects in the CEF Annex
• Other cross-border sections and bottlenecks
• Horizontal priorities:
• ITS, RIS, ERTMS, interoperability, innovation&new
technologies, safe and secure infrastructure
• Core, but also the comprehensive TEN-T
• More sustainable modes of transport (railways, IWW)
• Innovative financial instruments

Complementarity CEF – ESI Funds
CEF
ESI Funds
•
High EU added-value on TENT Corridors and core
network (as pre-identified in
Annex I of the CEF Regulation)
•
High EU added-value projects to remove
bottlenecks in transport networks, by
supporting TEN-T infrastructure on both
the core and comprehensive networks
•
More sustainable modes of
transport: rail, IWW
•
All modes of transport
•
Regional mobility, through connecting
secondary and tertiary nodes to TEN-T
infrastructure
•
Network effect: strong coordination of investments in TEN-T needed
•
Common project pipeline for ESI Funds and CEF, to be included in the
Operational Programmes
•
Corridors Work Plans
•
National Transport Master Plans
Transport
Complementarity CEF - ESI Funds (2)
Final selection process – as appropriate, take account of:
Programming for the ESI Funds, in order to ensure
complementarity between the two sources of funding
How the proposed project fits in the national Transport
Master Plan of the Member State(s) concerned, as
appropriate
Cohesion Policy CBA methodology for major projects strongly recommended in order to simplify the process of
project preparation under CEF and ESI Funds
Co-funding rates in line with the rates of Cohesion Fund
support for TEN-T projects in the respective Member State
