Recital 4
Recital 4
(4) Growth in traffic has resulted in increased congestion on international transport corridors. In order to ensure the international mobility of goods and passengers, the capacity of the trans- European transport network and the use of this capacity should be optimised and, if necessary, expanded by removing infrastructure bottlenecks and bridging missing infrastructure links within and between Member States and towards the countries of the Balkan peninsula, with a view to the accession of Croatia to the Union in 2013 and the negotiations under way with other candidate countries and potential candidates from the same geographical area.

Recital 11
Recital 11
(11) The core network should be identified and implemented as a priority within the framework provided by the comprehensive network by 2030. It should constitute the backbone of the development of a multi- modal transport network and stimulate the development of the entire comprehensive network. It should enable Union action to concentrate on those components of the trans-European transport network with the highest European added value, in particular cross-border sections, missing links, last- mile connections, multi- modal connecting points and major bottlenecks.

Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) Cooperation with neighbouring and third countries is necessary to ensure connection and interoperability between the respective infrastructure networks. Therefore the Union should, where appropriate, promote projects of mutual interest with those countries, giving priority to projects with countries undergoing the accession process to join the Union, candidate countries and potential candidates, so that they can integrate more rapidly within the Union. These projects should seek to develop the trans-European transport network by avoiding traffic congestion on existing infrastructure and ensuring a balanced growth of the network, which should include improved integration of logistics and connections in the Mediterranean area, with a view to giving that area a key role once again.
