Press Release: Launch of the EU’s new infrastructure policy – TEN-T Days in Tallinn, Estonia

From 16-18 October 2013, the annual event for transport and infrastructure experts around Europe, the 'TEN-T days' will be held in Tallinn, Estonia.

During that event Commission Vice-President responsible for transport, Siim Kallas, will publish new maps showing the 9 major infrastructure corridors which will underpin the EU's Single Market, and revolutionise East-West Connections. The EU is investing €26 billion for co-funding transport projects to build cross-border missing links, remove bottlenecks and make the network smarter.

The launch will be the centrepiece of the 'TEN-T Days' in Tallinn, during which more than 1,000 people – including more than 18 Transport Ministers, Members of the European Parliament, CEOs and stakeholders from all the transport sectors - will converge on Tallinn for expert discussions on implementing the new transport policy framework.
