Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Points up the effectiveness of the centralised governance structure laid down by the CEF Regulation; notes that transferring part of Cohesion Fund funding to the CEF has been a great success and that the degree of satisfaction of the Member States concerned opens up the prospect of that mechanism being extended under the next MFF; accordingly proposes an allocation of EUR 20 billion from the European Regional Development Fund to the CEF, with the same management rules to be laid down as for the transfer of management responsibility for Cohesion Fund funding for the CEF; considers that the ERDF resources transferred to the CEF should be used to the benefit of the regions and managing authorities involved in the implementation of the ERDF; considers that, in view of the big difference between available funding and what is needed, that move would ensure that TEN-T projects in Europe made significant headway;
Amendment 22 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Points out that the CEF is a grant facility and welcomes the Commission proposal to make that clear by incorporating the CEF financial instrument into the new InvestEU programme; considers therefore that the share of the CEF transport envelope implemented in the form of a financial instrument should not exceed 5% of the total for that envelope; deplores the fact that, in spite of the regrettable funding shifts benefiting the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) at the expense of the CEF, transport’s share of the EFSI is, quantitatively, nowhere near the 30% target figure and, in qualitative terms, falls far short of meeting the criteria for what constitutes European added value; stresses how important it is that, under the next MFF, the InvestEU programme should benefit projects with genuine European added value, and congratulates the Commission for having proposed that one of the four areas of investment identified should be sustainable infrastructure;
