On 29 June 2011, the Commission proposed a new seven-year EU budget (Multiannual Financial Framework, MFF) that covers EU public expenditure between 2014 and 2020.

This paper demonstrates why and how the EU should use the opportunity of the upcoming review of the EU budget to move its €13bn-a year transport spending in a greener direction.
