Infrastructure and Investment

Nine European Transport Corridors and two horizontal priorities were created to structure and support the completion of the trans-European transport network.

While the environmental, economic and connectivity benefits of completing the Trans-European Transport network (TEN-T) are immense, the procedures that this entails are quite complex, which has led to delays of TEN-T implementation, especially in the case of cross-border projects.

The Commission welcomes the partial general approach made by the EU Council, marking a crucial step in the negotiations concerning the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) 2028-2034.

The Commission has selected 70 projects to help decarbonise transport and strengthen the competitiveness of EU industries by installing the infrastructure needed for recharging or refueling the different transport modes.

The European Commission handed over grant agreements for EU transport infrastructure funding in Poland, Slovakia, Romania, Ukraine and Moldova.

The Commission has adopted an implementing decision setting out key milestones and deadlines for completing the high-speed rail connection between Madrid and Lisbon.
