Evaluation of the Regulation (EU) N° 1315/2013 on Union Guidelines for the development of a trans-European transport network
👉 there is a strong need to advance on requirements enhancing the quality of the TEN-T infrastructure to cope with future challenges, also in the context of sustainability and improved user benefits.
👉 need of adjusted targets and reinforced / extended requirements. The reduction of transport emissions by 90% by 2050 cannot be achieved without a proper TEN-T network allowing for greener transport.
👉 the TEN-T Regulation could be advanced to strengthen the identification, combination and implementation of projects from the perspective of integrated door-to-door user services.
👉 complementarity between core and comprehensive networks could be strengthened.
👉 need to reinforce implementation instruments at EU level and to stimulate a stronger commitment of Member States.
👉 Effectiveness of TEN-T implementation could be further enhanced through a strengthening of EU instruments
👉 Achieving the objectives of the European Green Deal would require that the TEN-T infrastructure are fully aligned with the provisions resulting from the other policy initiatives in the fields of AFID, FuelEU Maritime and the ReFuel Aviation.
👉 Synergies between trans-European network policies in transport, energy and digitalisation are important for higher user benefits, efficiency and the strongest possible contribution to transport decarbonisation.
