APPEL À PROJET CLÔTURÉ

SUBJECT

In the context of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF)1 and on the basis of the multi-annual work programme set out in Annex I of Commission Implementing Decision C(2015) 73582, a call for proposals is launched exclusively for proposals in Member States eligible for funding from the Cohesion Fund (Cohesion Member States).

This call for proposals addresses the following Funding Objectives of the CEF Regulation:

• Funding Objective 1: bridging missing links, removing bottlenecks, enhancing rail interoperability, and, in particular, improving cross-border sections;

• Funding Objective 2: ensuring sustainable and efficient transport systems in the long run, with a view to preparing for expected future transport flows, as well as enabling all modes of transport to be decarbonised through transition to innovative low-carbon and energy-efficient transport technologies, while optimising safety; and

• Funding Objective 3: optimising the integration and interconnection of transport modes and enhancing the interoperability of transport services, while ensuring the accessibility of transport infrastructures.

PRIORITIES
