3. White Paper for Transport
By 2030:
A fully functional multimodal TEN-T ‘core network’
Connect all core seaports to the rail freight network
30% of road freight over 300km shift to rail or waterborne transport
By 2050:
60% reduction of CO2 for transport sector
A European high-speed rail network
Most of medium-distance passenger transport by rail
Connect all core network airports to rail network

4. New TEN-T policy By 2030: a single European TEN-T core network
By 2050: a TEN-T comprehensive network, as “ground layer”, to ensure accessibility

16. Complementarity CEF – ESI Funds
High EU added-value on TEN-T Corridors and core network (as pre-identified in Annex I of the CEF Regulation)
More sustainable modes of transport: rail, IWW
High EU added-value projects to remove bottlenecks in transport networks, by supporting TEN-T infrastructure on both the core and comprehensive networks
All modes of transport
Regional mobility, through connecting secondary and tertiary nodes to TEN-T infrastructure
Network effect: strong coordination of investments in TEN-T needed
Common project pipeline for ESI Funds and CEF, to be included in the Operational Programmes
Corridors Work Plans
National Transport Master Plans

17. Complementarity CEF - ESI Funds (2)
Final selection process – as appropriate, take account of:
Programming for the ESI Funds, in order to ensure complementarity between the two sources of funding
How the proposed project fits in the national Transport Master Plan of the Member State(s) concerned, as appropriate
Cohesion Policy CBA methodology for major projects - strongly recommended in order to simplify the process of project preparation under CEF and ESI Funds
Co-funding rates in line with the rates of Cohesion Fund support for TEN-T projects in the respective Member State
