A short history
• 1 January 2014 – INEA replaced TEN-T EA (the Trans-European Transport Network Executive Agency)
• Original mandate: TEN-T projects 2000-2006 – € 0.8 billion
• Second mandate: TEN-T projects 2007-2013 – €7.4 billion
• Solid experience in programme implementation and project management
• Excellent record of past performance resulted in extension of the mandate again for 2014-2020
• New programmes (parts of) delegated to INEA by the Commission
• Rapid expansion from 100 staff in TEN-T EA to approaching 300 staff in INEA managing around 2000+ projects by 2020

implementation of projects/actions • Ensures sound financial
management • Raises visibility of the programmes
10
INEA's Tasks Some or all of the phases of programme
implementation and stages in the projects lifecycle:
11
INEA's goals: Making implementation happen
• Raising visibility of EU programmes

13
14
Connecting Europe Facility:
One instrument - three sectors - common objectives
15
Common aim: Accelerate investment in Trans-European Networks
15
CEF Common Objectives for the 3 sectors
Create up-to-date, high performing infrastructure connecting and integrating the EU and its regions
Support projects filling missing links and removing bottlenecks
Focus on EU added value (e.g. cross-border), EU priorities and projects of common interest (as defined in the sectoral guidelines)
16
INEA's role in CEF
By delegation from the European Commission, INEA turns policy into action by: • Implementing the CEF programme (grant agreements for studies and works)
• Executing the CEF budget
• Managing the entire project lifecycle
• Managing Calls for proposals and external evaluations

• Providing feedback as input to policy-making
• Contributing to Multi-Annual and Annual Work Programmes
• Promoting the visibility of project achievements and results
17
INEA's added value for the CEF
• One single access point for EU grant management for the 3 sectors
• Simplified and streamlined procedures and work flows
• Cross-sectoral and cross-programme overview
• Increased effectiveness and synergies
• Improved visibility of EU support
18
CEF Transport
New TEN-T policy - dual layer approach: • Comprehensive Network (accessibility to all regions) by 2050
• Core Network (strategically most important parts) by 2030
Main priorities/objectives: • Major cross-border projects and projects addressing main
bottlenecks on 9 TEN-T multimodal Corridors • Bridge missing links • Improve integration of transport modes • Reduce environmental impact of transport • Pre-identified projects on the core network as well as other projects
on the core and comprehensive network • Implementation of the horizontal priorities • New technologies and innovation • Increasing the opportunity for private investment support • Connect TEN-T network with neighbouring countries
19
Budget: €22.4 billion
CEF Transport Funding Objectives
Removing bottlenecks and bridging missing links (~80% of max budget)
Ensuring sustainable and efficient transport in the long run (~5% of max budget)
Optimising integration and interconnection of modes and enhancing interoperability (~15% of max budget)

CEF Transport - Key features
• Implementation by Multi-annual (80-85%) and Annual (15-20%) Work Programmes
• Multi-Annual and Annual Work Programme 2014 - €11.93 billion
(focus on major cross-border projects and main bottlenecks); 80-85% funding for pre-identified projects; Selection of projects June/July 2015
• Fund allocation mainly through grants but also financial instruments
• Higher co-funding rates than previous TEN-T Programme which can be further increased under certain conditions (e.g. bottlenecks, cross-border)
• For the cohesion envelope co-funding rate up to 85%
21
