(13) The implementation of infrastructure projects on the TEN-T core network should be also supported by Commission guidelines that bring more clarity as regards the implementation of certain types of projects while respecting the Union acquis. For example the Action Plan for nature, people and the economy23 foresees such guidance to bring more clarity in view of respecting the Birds and Habitats Directives. Direct support related to public procurement should be made available for projects of common interests to ensure the minimising of external costs and the best value for public money24. Additionally, appropriate technical assistance should be made available under the mechanisms developed for the Multi- Annual Financial Framework 2021-2027, with the aim of providing financial support for TEN-T projects of common interest. _________________ 23 24 and with a European added value. _________________ 23 COM(2017) 198 final.

(14) Since the objectives of this Regulation cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of the need for coordination of those objectives, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures in ac cordance withherent balance between Art. 171 on the EU competences on Trans European Transport Infrastructure as well as the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.
