EC puts safety condition on investment projects

摘要

The European Commission has unveiled its overhaul of the guidelines for the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) and a new financing mechanism. 'We welcome the prioritisation of "road safety" when promoting projects of common interest. We now urge the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers to acknowledge the importance of granting EU funding only to sectors of the road TEN-T network compliant with the Infrastructure Safety Directivel and the Tunnel Safety Directive2,' said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC3 Executive Director.
