With the slogan “More EU budget for transport, the best investment plan for Europe” a coalition of thirty European transport organisations launched a campaign for a strong connecting Europe Facility for the next financial period 2021-2028.
“We are very pleased to see that 30 transport organisations, covering all modes and nodes, service providers, users and cargo owners are supporting this plea for a strong financial support for the completion of the TEN-T network. 750 billion euro is needed to complete the TEN-T core network. We all know that transport projects with a high societal return do not always generate the necessary return on investment. We also believe that CEF support is the best guarantee to deliver high EU added value and responsible grant management”, says ESPO’s Secretary General Isabelle Ryckbost, who presented the campaign on behalf of the Coalition at the Connecting Europe Conference on 21 and 22 September in Tallinn.
