The 2022 CEF Transport call that closed on January 18 2023 attracted 353 applications seeking a total of €16·3bn. The 2023 calls for proposals will be launched towards the end of September.
The European Commission has reiterated its objective to complete the TEN-T core network by 2030 and the comprehensive network by 2050.
Speaking at the general assembly of the European supply industry association UNIFE in Madrid on June 15, Kristian Schmidt, Land Transport Director at the European Commission’s transport directorate DG Move, insisted that ‘commitments to minimum standards’ for the TEN-T core network must be maintained, including a minimum operating speed of 160 km/h and full deployment of ERTMS.
However, he reminded the industry that ‘the commission’s policy is not modal shift, it is the decarbonisation of transport’.
