TEN-T Guidelines Regulation NGO priority recommendations for trialogues

Description:
Environmental NGOs emphasise that, with very long lifetimes for transport infrastructure, today’s decisions on EU transport spending will set the path for transport beyond 2050 and into the next century. Decisions taken now, in the context of EU spending plans to 2020, will either lock Europe into further emissions and carbon-intensive development, or set us on a more sustainable course. In light of the MFF negotiations, EU policy-makers must make plans to deal with a major funding gap and maximise value for money. Regrettably, each Institution has added to the project wishlist. There will not be enough funding for all the projects in the CEF annex or TEN-T maps to get off the ground. As a result tough choices lie ahead. These can only be resolved by first defining the selection criteria according to objectives.
