(23) The core network has been identified on the basis of an objective planning methodology. That methodology has identified the most important urban nodes, ports and airports, as well as border crossing points. Wherever possible, tThose nodes are to be connected with multimodal links as long as they are economically viable and feasible by 2030. The methodology has ensured the interconnection of all Member States and the integration of the main islands into the core network.
