Transeuropean Transport Network (Green Paper)
cepPolicyBrief
Abandoning the hitherto envisaged "comprehensive network" that consists also of purely national sections in favour of a priority network is to be welcomed. EU coordination is necessary only in projects of cross-border relevance which generate a European added value. It is further to be welcomed that the Commission demands a consistent and comprehensible choice of projects for the future. With regard to financing TEN-T the Commission is considering to issue Eurobonds - which is to be rejected. Instead public-private partnership models should be increasingly applied.
