New coordinators appointed to drive completion of Europe’s trans-European transport network

Three European Coordinators have been designated today to help complete the trans-European transport network (TEN-T), a vast infrastructure network of railways, roads, and inland waterways connecting the European Union.

All mandates are for four years, renewable, and start as of 16 September 2025. They will collaborate with Member States, cities, regions, and infrastructure managers at local, regional, national, and European levels to facilitate work towards completing the TEN-T.

European Coordinators

Following the entry into force of the revised TEN-T Regulation on 18 July 2024, the Commission has now in place the full group of European Coordinators, including for nine European Transport Corridors and two horizontal priorities of ERTMS and the European Maritime Space.

Background

The European Commission follows a transparent process to appoint the European Coordinators. They are chosen, in particular, on the basis of his or her knowledge of matters relating to transport, to the financing or the socio-economic and environmental evaluation of major projects, as well as his or her experience with Union policy making.
