The Current state of TENs
• Need for change:
• Failure to make progress on the
priority projects .
• Entry of new Member States .
• Widen the geographical coverage but
• Concentrate on a limited number of
major routes.
3
• Priority projects – 30 located on
major axes and covering the 25 m/s
plus Bulgaria and Rumania.
• The 30 projects represent an
investment of 225 B € up to 2020.
• The complete network would require
600 B € up to 2020 .
• Focus on rail and maritime transport
including the new concept of the
Motorways of the Sea.
4
• Guidelines revised to allow up to
20% to be given in financial supportnotably for cross- border sections.
• Designation of ‘European
Coordinators for certain major crossborder projects.
• Funding problems : EU 15 in the past
devoted 1.5% of GDP now less than
1% when traffic is increasing.
