30 transport associations call on the European Parliament and the Council to approve the Commission proposal for the review of the Multi-Annual Financial Framework

The proposal foresees an increase of 1.4 billion euro for the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) budget. The transport sector warns that this cannot be considered sufficient to complete the Trans-European Network for Transport (TEN-T). Nonetheless, the current proposal would enhance the role of transport as an enabler of economic growth and job creation, which at moment employs 20 million people (10% of total EU employment).
