Please note that the deadline for submissions has been extended until the 26 March 2013. The budget has been increased: €1057 billion.

The objective of the call for proposals is to provide support to sections of the Priority Projects concerning rail, road and inland waterways (PPs) which promise the highest added value for the projects as a whole, i.e. cross-border sections and the removal of bottlenecks.

EU support for priority projects shall facilitate the implementation of project sections or parts which are most critical to the "success" of the respective priority axis as a whole, i.e. which are of vital importance for smooth traffic flows along the entire axis and would, if not completed within the agreed period time, reduce the benefits drawn from investments made on other sections of the axis.

Aid may be granted to the following types of projects:

• Studies that lead to implementation, e.g. design studies.
• Studies that lead to implementation of innovation and new technologies for transport infrastructure and facilities contributing to decarbonisation or the reduction of external costs in general. The scope of studies shall be the testing new technologies and shall integrate a clearly elaborated consumer-oriented business-model.
• Works in the area of 30 Priority Projects which are sufficiently mature, which can clearly demonstrate that the TEN-T aid will facilitate their implementation up to the end of 2015.
• Works projects in the area of 30 Priority Projects which benefit from an ongoing financial aid through TEN-T calls for proposals, for which the implementation up to the end of 2015 can be accelerated or further facilitated through the injection of additional funding.
