Open Letter: A competitive and resilient Europe requires a stronger EU transport budget
Europe's transport sector strongly urges the EU Member States to strengthen European funding for transport under the future EU budget.
A robust European transport network is of crucial importance in responding to Europe's strategic objectives, making adequate European support to the sector more pertinent than ever. Only with strongand state-of-the-art transport infrastructure at its core, will Europe be able to ramp up its resilience and military preparedness, reinforce its industrial competitiveness and safeguard its supply chain sovereignty.
All the signatory European transport organisations urgently call upon the EU Member States and the EU Commission to ensure sufficient EU budget for transport under the future Multi-Annual Financial Framework and particularly to increase the budget of the future Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) to at least €100 billion.
