Trans-European Network Policy and European Growth Investments: Lyon-Turin, it’s happening now!

In October 2011, the European Commission unveiled its proposals for the Trans-European Transport Networks (TEN-T), which aim to improve infrastructure integration and to strengthen the EU's coordination capabilities in this area. More widely these are part of the support logic for long term investment for growth and the inclusion of an ecological imperative. At present the creation of the Lyon-Turin rail link is emblematic of the investments being made in transport, the major economic results of which are eagerly expected. However a European legal and financial framework to match this kind of large-scale project is still lacking. Here recommendations are made on this issue.
