Recital 14
(14) Projects of common interest should demonstrate a clear European added value, by enhancing interconnections between Member States and improving the fluidity, speed and sustainability of transport flows throughout the European Union. Cross- border projects typically have high European added value, but may have. Their lower direct economic effects compared to purely national projects. Therefore, they are likely not to be implemented without Union intervention call for priority intervention by the Union in order to ensure that they are implemented.

Recital 29 a (new)
(29a) If the objective of a European transport policy which provides EU citizens with a unified, multi-modal and interconnected network is to be achieved, support should be given to the completion of all the projects within the time horizon proposed here. With that aim in view, the projects intended to adapt transport networks in urban centres should be supported and promoted by the coordinator of the closest corridor. This will make for effective interconnection between corridors and clear the way for the completion of the core network within the given time horizon.
