EC PUBLISHES 2023 CEF TRANSPORT CALL FOR PROPOSALS
On 25 September, the European Commission launched a new call for proposals under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) for Transport, worth €7 billion. This call aims to fund projects focused on enhancing European transport infrastructure.
The call covers various areas within the Core and Comprehensive TEN-T networks, including railways, inland waterways, maritime and inland ports, road safety, rail-road terminals, multimodal logistics platforms, safe and secure mobility, and infrastructure resilience. At the same time, projects funded will increase the sustainability of the trans-European transport network, aligning with the European Green Deal's objective of reducing transport emissions by 90% by 2050.
CLECAT welcomes this new call for proposals, particularly the allocation of €250 million for safe and secure mobility, which includes secure truck parking infrastructure (SSTPAs). CLECAT has previously advocated for an adequate number of high-quality and secure truck parking spaces for drivers, which has become a matter of increasing urgency given the rising incidents of cargo theft crimes in the EU.
Applications must be submitted electronically via the Funding & Tenders Portal Electronic Submission System by 30 January 2024 at 17:00 CET.
The Calls for proposal can be access via this link.
