FUNDING
• General:
In the context of EU policy, the TEN-T network is supported through different
Programmes. In that respect, projects on this network are eligible to receive EU
grants, as a rule in a form of co-financing, notably from the TEN-T Programme
(Multi-Annual Work Programme and Annual Work Programme), Cohesion funds, ERDF and
the Research Framework Programme. However, it is not possible for the same project
to receive grants from more than one EU funding source. TEN-T projects may also
benefit from loans and guarantees from the European Investment Bank (EIB).
The 31.7 billion euros allocated to transport under the Connecting Europe Facility of the MFF (Multi-Annual Financial Framework) will effectively act as "seed capital" to stimulate further investment by Member States to complete difficult cross-border connections and links which might not otherwise get built. Every 1 million euros spent at European level will generate 5 million from Member State governments and 20 million from the private sector.
