Studies on roads and rail-road terminals related to:

  • components of the Comprehensive road Networks located in Member States which do not have a land border with another Member State as stipulated in Section 3 of Part III of the Annex of the CEF Regulation;
  • improving road connections to maritime and inland ports and rail-road terminals as listed in Annex II of Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013 as long as the actions do not aim at increasing road transport capacity, but address a significant bottleneck;
  • construction or upgrade of rail-road terminals as listed in Annex II of Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013, combined transport transhipment points and other publicly accessible multimodal logistics platforms located on the TEN-T Network, including connecting or siding tracks, power connections, safe and secure truck waiting areas, adaptations for 740 m train length, clean transhipment equipment for intermodal loading units, including specific equipment for rolling motorways and the transportation of semi-trailers by rail, and ICT equipment and applications.

Support will not be given to buildings, storage and warehouse facilities. Actions addressing roads shall be compliant with Directive (EU) 2019/1936 (Directive 2019/1936 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2019 amending Directive 2008/96/EC on road infrastructure safety management (OJ L 305, 26.11.2019, p. 1)) and Directive (EU) 2004/54/EC (Directive 2004/54/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on minimum safety requirements for tunnels in the Trans-European Road Network (OJ L 167, 30.4.2004, p. 39–91)).
