EU Commission allocates €1.2 billion to key TEN-T projects
The European Commission has launched two calls for proposals under the 2012 Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) multi-annual and annual programmes, making €1.265 billion available to finance European transport infrastructure projects in all transport modes – air, rail, road, and maritime/inland waterways – plus logistics and intelligent transport systems, and all EU Member States.
The TEN-T multi-annual programme finances the highest priorities of the TEN-T network. This year’s multi-annual call focuses on six fields with €1.015 billion of the total indicative budget available, including the 30 TEN-T Priority Projects (€725 million), the European Rail Traffic Management Systems (ERTMS) with and indicative budget of €100 million, the River Information Services (RIS) with and indicative budget of €10 million, the Air Traffic Management (ATM) with and indicative budget of €50 million, Motorways of the Sea (MoS) with and indicative budget of €80 million and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), including the European Electronic Toll Service (EETS) with and indicative budget of €50 million.
Furthermore, the annual programme complements the multi-annual programme and directs funding to four distinct priorities with a total indicative budget of €250 million.
The TEN-T Executive Agency (TEN-T EA), which manages the technical and financial implementation of the TEN-T programme, under the auspices of DG Move, is holding an Info Day today in Brussels to help potential applicants better understand the call priorities, prepare their proposals and learn about the evaluation process. The deadline for the submission of proposals is 28 February 2013.
