TEN, Trans-European Networks

TEN are considered as key elements for the creation of an internal market and for the promotion of social cohesion. The cross-border transport, telecommunication and energy infrastructure is financed by the structural funds, cohesion fund and the European Investment Bank.

The future

The EU Constitution proposes that Trans-European Networks become a shared competence - EU law would therefore suppress member states' existing legislation and right to legislate in this area.
