The scope should be extended to include the TEN-T core network, including urban nodes that are central hubs of transport connectivity, decarbonisation and economic development, serving as critical multimodal gateways linking long‑distance corridors with regional and local net-works to enable smooth passenger and freight flows. Sufficient funding is needed, as the deadline for the TEN-T core network is in 2030. Also, some areas of the EU have limited cross-border connections, so it should be possible to consider national projects with cross-border impact for funding.

(3 a) Text proposed by the Commission Amendment (aa) in relation to military mobility: (i) to facilitate investments for the timely upgrade to military mobility requirements of those parts of the Military Mobility Corridors identified by the Commission and the Member States as urgent targeted short-term investments (500 hotspots) that are to be implemented as a matter of priority pursuant to Article 32(3) of Regulation (XXX) [on military mobility]. (ii) to facilitate investments in those ports and airports identified as strategic dual-use transport infrastructure in accordance with Article 33 of Regulation (XXX) [on military mobility] and which are identified as crucial for military mobility; such ports and airports must be systematically integrated in the TEN-T network, applying the geostrategic criterium in accordance with Article 58(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1679;

Or. en

Justification

ESPO supports the approach taken by the co-rapporteurs in their draft report to use CEF military mobility support not only to support the 500 hotspot projects, but also to facilitate investments in those ports identified as strategic dual-use infrastructure by their respective Member States. For ESPO, it is vital that ports that do not have a formal TEN-T status but are strategically important for military mobility should be eligible for CEF funding. In fact, the geo-strategic criterium for ports, introduced in the latest TEN-T review (in Article 58(1)(b)), must be applied to ensure that these key strategic ports are systematically added to the TEN-T network, as this would allow for strategic recognition, long-term planning certainty and adequate support.

In response to the co-rapporteurs’ proposal to increase the role of the Member States in cross-border sectors, from an understandable wish to improve coordination among Member States, it must be clarified that the requirement of a written agreement is not relevant to infrastructure projects that are located within a single Member State. Most port infrastructure projects, while being rightly characterised as having a cross-border function and serving cross-border flows, are implemented in one Member State, as opposed to many land transport cross-border connections.

Review of the TEN-T network in relation to strategic and energy-related ports 1. By the beginning of the financial period 2028–2034, the Commission shall carry out a targeted review of Regulation (EU) 2024/1679, insofar as the definition of the trans-European transport network determines eligibility for funding under this Regulation. 2. In the context of that review, the Commission shall in particular assess whether: (a) additional maritime ports should be identified as ports of geostrategic relevance pursuant to Article 58 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1679; and (b) additional ports fulfil, or are expected to fulfil within the duration of this Regulation, the criteria for energy ports as referred to in Article 25 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1679, taking into account developments affecting energy security, offshore energy production, hydrogen supply chains and related infrastructure. 3. Where the assessment referred to in paragraph 2 identifies a need to adapt the trans-European transport network, the Commission shall, without undue delay, submit a legislative proposal to amend Regulation (EU) 2024/1679 accordingly.

Or. en

Justification

The TEN-T definition determines the eligibility for CEF funding. Since Regulation 2024/1679, geopolitical, security and energy developments, in particular in the Baltic Sea, have highlighted security of supply, military mobility and energy chains. Changing circumstances may bring new ports of geostrategic importance. The TEN-T classifications must respond to strategic needs and the Commission should review the network in time for the period 2028-2034.

(i a) to support the development and completion of strategic multimodal corridors of European importance, including by addressing short missing links and discontinuities between core and extended core TEN-T corridors, in particular along the Union’s eastern flank, with a view to strengthening military mobility, enhancing network resilience and interoperability, and improving connectivity with neighbouring partner countries;

Or. en

Justification

This amendment reflects the need to strengthen connectivity between key European Transport Corridors in the South-Eastern and Black Sea region, in line with the current geopolitical context.While the proposal supports cross-border infrastructure and military mobility, it does not sufficiently address the strategic importance of ensuring continuity between major TEN-T corridors. Improving the connection between the Western Balkans – Eastern Mediterranean Corridor and the Baltic Sea – Black Sea – Aegean Sea Corridor strengthens network coherence, creates alternative routes and reduces vulnerabilities in the EU transport system.The Black Sea axis, including the links between Varna, Constanța, Odessa and Chișinău, has become essential for maintaining supply chains, supporting Ukraine and enhancing the integration of the Republic of Moldova. At the same time, these connections contribute directly to military mobility objectives by enabling faster and more reliable movement of personnel and equipment across the eastern flank.Explicitly recognising these links ensures better alignment of EU funding with strategic priorities, enhances resilience and interoperability of the transport network, and strengthens the Union’s capacity to respond to current and future challenges.

Justification

Night trains are close to financial viability, with cost-recovery rates of 80–85% but still face structural disadvantages—especially due to tax exemptions for aviation fuel, estimated at €30–40 per ticket.

Infrastructure funding alone does not ensure that services operate, particularly in open-access markets and on complex cross-border routes. Temporary operational support is therefore needed to bridge the gap until services become commercially viable.

CEF co-financing (up to 50% of subsidies, around €30 per passenger) would address this market failure at relatively low cost (~€300 million/year), while enabling a European night train network to emerge.

This approach is consistent with CEF objectives: addressing market failures, supporting cross-border connectivity, and leveraging private investment.

(3) actions relating to the projects of common interest with crossborder dimension with third countries implementing the trans-European transport network in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1679;

Or. en

Justification

Supporting urban node-related projects can alleviate pressure on the TEN-T corridors and enhance the overall performance of the network. It would also allow urban node priorities, such as linking ports and airports to the wider TEN-T network, to be fully embedded within corridor priorities, ensuring greater alignment between the two and thereby improving the sustainability of door-to-door journeys along the TENT corridors.
