(9) In order to reflect growing transport flows and the evolution of the network, the alignment of the core network corridors and their pre-identified sections and their capacity should be adapted. These adaptations to the core network should not affect its completion by 2030 and should be proportionate in order to preserve the consistency and the efficiency of the corridor development and coordination. For that reason the length of the core network corridors should not increase by more than 15%. , if they are to be increased at all, not increase by more than 15%. Evolutions on the comprehensive network must be monitored and assessed in order to guarantee the relevance of the sections.

(10a) 1. Whereas efficient and good transport infrastructure and services are vital for growth and competiveness in Europe and ERTMS large-scale transport horizontal projects will further integrate Railway transport infrastructures. 2. In order to accelerate the installation of ERTMS and incentivize the participation of private investors to the financing of ERTMS, the Commission should launch a pan-European initiative, such as a Joint- Undertaking aimed at scaling up the ERTMS deployment pace over the TEN-T core network corridors. 3. It has been estimated than the completion of the ERTMS deployment over the TEN-T core network corridors requires at least 15 Billion €. In order to attain such objective as a matter of priority, as stated in the Regulation 1315/2013 on the Guidelines for the development of the Trans-European network corridors* and on the 2011White Paper for Transport**, a large scale project on ERTMS should be supported at European level. 4. The launch of a large scale project on ERTMS would give a profitable financial return to private investors thanks to an innovative mix of grants, loans, public and private funds that could leverage innovative financing schemes and finalize long-standing investments

(14) Following the Joint Communication on improving military mobility in the European Union of November 201724 , 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 Policy25 highlighted that transport infrastructure policy offers a clear opportunity to increase synergies between defence needs and TEN- T, with the overall view of improving mobility across the Union. 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 also for military transport, including necessaryuse of the infrastructure while insuring their civilian usage is not negatively affected, including where there is the possibility to upgrades of existing infrastructure. The infrastructure will always be for dual use. Union funding for the implementation of the dual-use projects should be implemented through the Programme on the basis of specific work programmes specifyingthrough measurable actions complying with the applicable requirements as defined in the context of the Action Plan. __________________ 24 JOIN(2017) 41 25 JOIN(2018) 5

(31) The positive results of the first Blending Call for proposals launched under the current programme in 2017, confirmed the relevance and added value of using EU grants for blending with financing from the European Investment Bank or National Promotional Banks or other development and public financial institutions as well as from private-sector finance institutions and private-sector investors, including through public private partnerships. The Programme should therefore continue to provide for dedicated Callsupport actions enabling combination between EU grants and other sources of financing.
