NGO voting recommendations: TEN-T Guidelines for 2014-2020
Publisher: CEE Bankwatch Network
Volume: 5 pages, pdf
Description:
Environmental NGOs from the Coalition for sustainable EU funds would like to highlight the opportunity to improve key aspects of the TEN-T Guidelines in order to ensure stronger coherence with EU priorities, to move towards a low carbon and resource efficient transport sector, which is both economically and environmentally sustainable. What is at stake? 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 will either lock Europe into further emissions, carbon-intensive development and biodiversity loss, or set us on a more sustainable course.
