Trans-European Transport Network: jaarlijkse oproep

The objectives:
The first objective (under Priority 1) is to promote the development of an integrated and  environmentally  friendly  transport  system.  This  will  include studies  and  works for  inter-modal  platforms  and  the  interconnection  nodes  of  different  modes  of transport,  with  the  objective  of  increasing the contribution of 'low  carbon' transport modes to freight transport.

The  second  objective  (under  Priority  2)  is  to  promote  infrastructure  development contributing to mitigation and adaptation to climate change, through studies and the preparation  of  deployment  projects  facilitating  the  introduction  and  use  of  new technologies  and  alternative  fuels,  as  well  as  through  studies  and  works  supporting the reduction of the impact of maritime transport on air pollution.

The third objective (under Priority 3) is to accelerate/facilitate the implementation of TEN-T  projects,  with  the  aim  of  creating  a  mature  project  pipeline  for  2014  and beyond. This will include studies for all modes and works for mature projects in the rail,  road,  ports  and  inland  waterways  sectors,  and  projects  aiming  at  European network benefits in support of the Single European Sky (SES) policy.

The fourth objective (under Priority 4) is to increase the involvement of the private sector in the development and financing of Union-supported transport infrastructure projects,  notably  through  the  implementation  of  Public-Private  Partnerships  (PPPs). The priority seeks to support the feasibility analysis of a PPP arrangement as part of early-  stage  project  development  as  well  as  to  assist  more  mature  projects,  having already chosen a PPP arrangement as their preferred structure, to continue to develop the PPP.

The fifth objective (under Priority 5) is to support the long term implementation of the  TEN-T  network,  in  particular  the  development  of  corridors  that shall enable a coordinated implementation of the  network, by  supporting projects embedding multimodal aspects, investment options and efficient managerial structures.
