(1) In order to achieve smart, sustainable and inclusive growth and to stimulate job creation, the Union needs an up-to-date, high-performance infrastructure to help connect and integrate the Union and all its regions, in the transport, telecommunications and energy sectors. Those connections should help to improve the free movement of persons, goods, capital and services. The trans-European networks should facilitate cross-border connections for civil and military purposes, foster greater economic, social and territorial cohesion and contribute to a more competitive social market economy and to combating climate change.

(6) An important objective of this Programme is to deliver increased synergies between the transport (civil and military), energy and digital sector. For that purpose, the Programme should provide for the adoption of cross-sectoral work programmes that could address specific intervention areas, for instance as regards connected and automated mobility or alternative fuels. In addition, the Programme should allow, within each sector, the possibility to consider eligible some ancillary components pertaining to another sector, where such an approach improves the socio-economic benefit of the investment. Synergies between sectors should be incentivized through the award criteria for the selection of actions.

(14) Following the Joint Communication on improving military mobility in the European Union of November 20179 , the Action Plan on Military Mobility adopted on 28 March 2018 by the Commission and the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy10 highlighted that transport infrastructure policy offers a clear opportunity to increase synergies between defence needs and TEN- T. The Action Plan indicates that by mid- 2018, the Council is invited to consider and validate the military requirements in relation to transport infrastructure and that, by 2019 the Commission services will identify the parts of the trans-European transport network suitable for military transport, including necessary upgrades of existing infrastructure. It is important that the timetable in the Action Plan is adhered to, both by the EU and by Member States. Union funding for the implementation of the dual-use projects should be implemented through the Programme on the basis of specific work programmes specifying the applicable requirements as defined in the context of the Action Plan. __________________ 9 10Dual-use military mobility projects financed under CEF will enhance overall European security as they will not only enhance the safety of the infrastructure for citizens but will also improve the credibility of the EU's defence and deterrence. Efficient military mobility is a crucial element for strong external borders and will help EU Member States that are also NATO member states to meet their Article 5 commitments. __________________ 9 JOIN(2017) 41 JOIN(2017) 41 10 JOIN(2018) 5 JOIN(2018) 5
