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, after evaluating progress in TEN-T implementation, the European Commission ...

In the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the ensuing energy crisis, the EU has undertaken a number of steps to develop its energy infrastructure. These included diversifying import routes, developing energy networks and improving cross-border interconnections. The EU legislative framework on energy infrastructure is based on the Regulation on trans-European networks for energy (TEN E). It sets out guidelines for EU cross-border infrastructure, including projects of common interest (PCIs ...

On 15 December 2020, the European Commission adopted a proposal to revise the 2013 regulation on trans-European networks in energy (TEN-E). The 2013 TEN-E Regulation sets out EU guidelines for cross-border energy infrastructure, and outlines the process for selecting projects of common interest (PCI). PCIs are infrastructure projects considered essential for delivering on EU objectives in the energy field, including improved interconnection between national markets, greater competitiveness, security ...

The IA provides a comprehensive problem analysis, based on the evaluation of the current TEN-T Regulation, a public consultation, and targeted consultations with stakeholders and Member States. It is transparent about the methods and uncertainties (e.g. long-term funding) and limitations. The objectives and the policy options have a clear link to the problem definition. The IA comprehensively analyses the economic, social and environmental impacts of the policy options. However, territorial impacts ...

The concept of important projects of common European interest (IPCEIs) is enshrined in Article 107(3)(b) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. It enables the Commission to allow Member States to design and implement national investments targeting important market failures or societal challenges that could not otherwise be addressed. In November 2021, the Commission adopted a communication updating a 2014 communication that established the first set of guidance to be used for the ...

Durante el período parcial de sesiones de abril de 2022, el Parlamento someterá a votación el texto de un Reglamento RTE-E revisado, acordado en las negociaciones tripartitas a finales de 2021. El Reglamento RTE-E establece normas para los proyectos de interés común en materia de infraestructuras energéticas. Los proyectos de interés común son proyectos prioritarios que o bien benefician en gran medida al mercado único o bien mejoran la seguridad del suministro en la Unión. Algunos de ellos pueden ...

This paper compiles and presents available information on cross-border or multi-country projects included in Member States Recovery and Resilience Plans (RRPs). The paper will be updated once new relevant information is available.

With the trans-European transport network (TEN-T) policy, the European Union seeks to develop a modern, efficient and climate-friendly network covering all transport modes. Despite the TEN-T's importance for the economy and society, and despite the binding timelines and targeted financial support, it risks not being completed as planned. This is partly due to complex administrative procedures linked to permit-granting for cross-border projects as well as broader regulatory uncertainty, often resulting ...

The EU supports the development of high-performing, sustainable and interconnected trans-European networks in the areas of transport, energy and digital infrastructure. It set up the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) as a dedicated financing instrument for the 2014-2020 period, to channel EU funding into the development of infrastructure networks, help eliminate market failures and attract further investment from the public and private sectors. Following a mid-term evaluation, the European Commission ...

Para ofrecer conexiones eficientes, modernas y sostenibles, la Unión Europea está desarrollando redes transeuropeas en los ámbitos del transporte, la tecnología digital y la energía. En junio de 2018, la Comisión Europea propuso renovar el principal programa de la Unión de financiación de infraestructuras, el Mecanismo «Conectar Europa» (MCE), para acelerar la inversión en proyectos clave de redes. En paralelo, la Comisión propuso un mecanismo para facilitar los procesos de concesión de autorizaciones ...
