TEN-T rail funding allocations announced
EUROPE: The European Commission announced the projects selected to receive €170m of trans-European transport network infrastructure co-funding grants on February 21.
The grants are based on the TEN-T annual and multi-annual calls published on May 19 2010. They are intended help EU member states build missing transport links, remove bottlenecks and increase transport safety and security.
Following last year's call for funding, a total of €190·6m has been allocated towards projects with a total value of €899·3m. Applications were submitted for 26 rail projects, with 14 being accepted and receiving 17·9% of the total funding. Other projects also include rail elements.
