TEN-T Policy as a tool to modernise and decarbonise transport

T&E welcomes the review of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) policy initiated by the European Commission. We consider this fundamental review as particularly necessary and timely. As one of the most visible of the Community’s transport-related policies, T&E has maintained a close involvement in TEN-T policy since the inception of the original TEN-T guidelines in 1996. Our concern has been firstly to seek to ensure that appropriate environmental considerations have been properly integrated into the design of the overarching policy itself and into the design and assessment of the projects that arose from this.
