WORKSHOP ON CEF FUNDING FOR SAFE & SECURE TRUCK PARKING AREAS
On 13 October, CLECAT participated in a workshop organised by the European Safe Parking Organisation (ESPORG), together with DG MOVE and the European Climate Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA), on how to obtain EU funding under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) funding call, which makes available €250 million to improve the network of Safe and Secure Truck Parking Areas (SSTPAs) across the EU.
During the workshop, a presentation was given by DG MOVE on the new EU SSTPA Standards, enshrined in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1012, to which CLECAT contributed significantly in the drafting process. The Regulation contains service and security level specifications, as well as certification procedures, and is fully in line with the CLECAT position. Additionally, CINEA explained the recently launched CEF Call 2022, as well as the lessons learned from previous calls. Lastly, ESPORG discussed the elements of a successful proposal and showcased a successfully CEF-funded project.
