Funding the Trans-European Transport Network with the Connecting Europe Facility - Opportunities for Czech Republic -
The EU TEN-T framework Strategic framework Policy framework White Paper for Transport Policy framework TEN-T Guidelines (Regulation 1315/2013) Funding framework Connecting Europe Facility (Regulation 1316/2013) Cohesion Fund/ ERDF Financial partners, such as EIB
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
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 TEN-T maps

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
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
