The European Commission has selected 172 projects that will be granted almost €1.6 billion in EU co-financing from the trans-European transport network (TEN-T) programme for improving transport infrastructure across Europe. The projects’ scope includes all transport modes and ranges from preliminary studies to more advanced concepts, such as assistance in on-going construction initiatives.
The 2012 Multi-Annual Programme Call financed the highest priorities of the TEN-T network, focusing on six modal areas: Air Traffic Management (ATM), European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS), Intelligent Transport Systems/European Electronic Toll System (ITS/EETS), Motorways of the Sea (MoS), River Information Services (RIS), and Priority Projects (PPs).
The funding earmarked under the 2012 Annual Programme Call will be granted to projects in four priority areas: acceleration/facilitation of the implementation of TEN-T projects, measures to promote innovation and new technologies for transport infrastructure, support to Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) and innovative financial instruments, and long term implementation of the TEN-T.
