To support its economy, provide mobility for people and goods and ensure the connectivity of all regions, while also limiting negative impacts on climate and environment, the EU has been building a multimodal transport network across its territory: the trans-European transport network (TEN‑T). TEN-T construction is supported by EU funding, an example of which is the dedicated Connecting Europe Facility programme.
In December 2021, the European Commission put forward a proposal on the revised TEN‑T guidelines, to ensure sustainable connectivity through a reliable and high-quality infrastructure network aligned with the objectives of the European Green Deal. In May 2022, the Commission published an amended proposal, extending transport corridors to Ukraine and Moldova and withdrawing plans that included Russia and Belarus.
The European Parliament’s Committee on Transport and Tourism adopted its report on the proposal on 13 April 2023; the Council had adopted its general approach on 5 December 2022. On 18 December 2023, Parliament and the Council reached a provisional agreement resulting from interinstitutional negotiations. Parliament is expected to vote on the agreed text in plenary in April.
