EIM – the association representing the European rail infrastructure managers – strongly supports the campaign which advocates a stronger Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) programme in the forthcoming Multi-Annual Financial Framework. CEF will be fundamental to deliver EU high added value and to complete the landmark Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) project.
Monika Heiming, EIM Executive Director, said: ‘’Transport is the backbone of the European economy. Continuing to invest in transport and strengthening the CEF programme means investing in long-term growth and jobs for the benefit of the whole European society. Transport, and particularly rail, has made and will continue to make the most indispensable contribution to the achievement of the internal market, social cohesion, connectivity and decarbonisation’’.
