The European Commission has launched proposal calls worth €350 million for TEN-T (the Trans-European Transport Network) related projects.
The proposal calls relate to all EU Member States and TEN-T projects for road, air, railways, maritime and inland waterways.
Commission vice president Siim Kallas, responsible for transport, said, “With the 2007-2013 budgetary period coming to an end, we will make the best possible use of these TEN-T Calls for Proposals to make sure European transport infrastructure sup
The 2465 European Commission has launched proposal calls worth €350 million for TEN-T (the Trans-European Transport Network) related projects.
The proposal calls relate to all EU Member States and TEN-T projects for road, air, railways, maritime and inland waterways.
Commission vice president Siim Kallas, responsible for transport, said, “With the 2007-2013 budgetary period coming to an end, we will make the best possible use of these TEN-T Calls for Proposals to make sure European transport infrastructure supports a seamless mobility of goods and people throughout the1116 European Union. I am confident that these calls will elicit great interest throughout the EU, as Member States realise the importance of investing today for tomorrow's growth and jobs."
The TEN-T multi-annual programme traditionally finances the highest priorities of the TEN-T network. This year's multi-annual calls, the last ones to be held under the 2007-2013 budget, focus on five fields, with a €280 million budget available. This includes €50 million for Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), promoting interoperability and continuity of real time traffic and travel information services across Europe towards a safer and more efficient road network.
The annual programme complements the multi-annual one and for 2013 directs funding to two distinct priorities with a Total budget of €70 million. Of this, €50 million will go on measures to promote and develop innovative solutions and new technologies in areas such as alternative fuels infrastructure, sustainability of urban mobility, traffic efficiency, decarbonisation, noise reduction, and safety (e.g. vehicle-infrastructure communication systems). The remaining €20 million is for the ‘acceleration/facilitation of the implementation of TEN-T projects (studies and works for mature projects for all modes, as part of the projects of common interest).
The4118 TEN-T Executive Agency (TEN-T EA) manages the technical and financial implementation of the TEN-T programme, under the auspices of Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport.
