(9a) The previous Multiannual Financial Framework (2007-2013) showed that a limited budget for the TEN-T prevents progress being made on the biggest projects, particularly cross-border projects. An adequate European budgetary framework for the TEN-T would not only make it more attractive to private investment, but also ensure a greater national political will with regard to European projects, and therefore better cooperation between the Member States involved in a cross-border project. The European Union should be more ambitious about major European infrastructure projects, whose complexity and scale mean that the budget allocated to them should be revised upwards and the budgetary rules applying to them should be adapted. The new TEN-T guidelines should be given the budgetary and regulatory means necessary for their achievement.

(48) Some of the infrastructure projects of Union interest might need to link with and pass through neighbourhood, pre-accession and other third countries. The Connecting Europe Facility should offer simplified means of linking and financing these infrastructures, in order to ensure coherence between internal and external instruments of the Union budget. In the transport sector, special attention should be paid to strengthening the links between the trans-European and trans- Mediterranean transport networks, particularly in order to facilitate the transport of goods via the motorways of the sea. In the energy sector, emphasis should be placed on completing the Mediterranean electric ring and developing direct undersea electricity interconnections between the EU and the countries of the South-East Mediterranean in order to structure the complementarity of the two energy systems.
