The annual work programme has a high degree of flexibility to address new demands of projects of common interest which focus on TEN-T priorities. The first is to promote the development of an integrated and multi-modal transport system, with a budget of €25 million. The second is to promote infrastructure development contributing to mitigation and adaptation to climate change and reducing transport's impact on the environment, with a budget of €35 million. The third is to accelerate the implementation of TEN-T projects, with a budget of €100 million. The fourth is to support public-private partnerships (PPPs) and innovative financial instruments with a budget of €15 million. The fifth is to support the long term implementation of the TEN-T network, in particular the development of corridors that enable a coordinated implementation of the network, with a budget of €25 million. The 4118 TEN-T Executive Agency (TEN-T EA) manages the overall technical and financial implementation of the TEN-T programme, on behalf of the Commission's Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport. This means the Agency is responsible for the management of the calls for proposals as well as the external evaluation of project proposals submitted. The deadline for submitting proposals is 13 April 2012. Proposals will be evaluated on the basis of their relevance to the TEN-T priorities and policy objectives.

  • Europe’s drive for safer roads sets new targets
    January 9, 2019
    Europe’s drive for improved road safety will see new targets being set. Previous ambitious plans to reduce road casualty rates have not been achieved, so new strategies are being devised. The European Transport Safety Commission (ETSC) is setting out its latest plans. In 2010, the European Union renewed its commitment to improve road safety by setting a target of reducing road deaths by 50% by 2020, compared to 2010 levels. This target followed an earlier target set in 2001 to halve road deaths by 2010. A n

    The European Transport Safety Council (ETSC) welcomed the launch of the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety, saying it will enable the European Union to join forces in tackling road safety at a global level. The UN move aims to reduce by 50% the projected increase in road deaths by 2020, and was developed with the support of the World Health Organisation (WHO), which predicts that road traffic injuries will rise to become the fifth leading cause of death by 2030 in the world. It demanded action to correct t

  • Europe’s traffic pollution problem causes concern
    December 3, 2012
    The latest data available suggests that traffic pollution is still harmful to health in many parts of Europe. Transport in Europe is responsible for damaging levels of air pollutants and a quarter of EU greenhouse gas emissions. Many of the resulting environmental problems can be addressed by stepping up efforts to meet new EU targets, according to the latest report from the European Environment Agency (EEA). The EEA’s annual report under the Transport and Environment Reporting Mechanism (TERM) assesses the

  • Changing policy for Europe’s road funding?
    August 27, 2013
    The 2011 EC White Paper on Transport acknowledges that transport is the backbone of Europe’s economy, directly employing 10 million people and accounting for approximately 5% of EU GDP. In addition, it recognises that ‘infrastructure shapes mobility’ and that ‘curbing mobility is not an option’. Given the importance policymakers place on the ability to move people and goods seamlessly across Europe, it becomes rather hard to explain why they have neglected for so long the main ‘vehicle’ for mobility acro
