Paragraph 6 a (new)
6a. Highlights the imbalance within the structural and cohesion funds between the investments scheduled for the different modes of transport (EUR 41 billion for road infrastructure, as compared with EUR 23.6 billion for rail and EUR 0.6 billion for inland waterways), which is inimical to the creation of sustainable inter-modal European transport; hopes, with this in mind, that the European funding allocated to rail projects will be prioritised and stepped up in areas where road infrastructure has already been sufficiently developed;

Calls therefore for an increase in the overall funds available for TEN-T through earmarking cohesion funding for cross- border and/or inter-modal transport projects (currently 23.7% of cohesion resources) and the dedication of an amount within this for the core TEN-T network, thus increasing EU added value, and for TEN-T funding to be made conditional upon the concentration of national funding on the TEN-T core network;
