Opinion number:
CDR-3311-2025
Status:
Currently under discussion
Objective
The opinion aims to ensure that the new Connecting Europe Facility (CEF 3) for 2028-2034 delivers stronger territorial and cross-border impact while reinforcing the role of local and regional authorities in its design and implementation. The opinion advocates for:
A stronger territorial dimension, recognising border, peripheral and outermost regions as key beneficiaries of CEF investments;
Enhanced multi-level governance, including clearer mechanisms for regional and cross-border coordination (e.g. EGTC involvement and corridor fora);
Simplified and accessible procedures for smaller regional and municipal promoters under direct management;
Balanced co-financing rules and effective complementarity between CEF and National & Regional Partnership Plans under the new MFF;
Improved synergies across sectors—transport, energy, and defence—to maximise European added value and ensure that infrastructure investments contribute to both competitiveness and cohesion.
