Enhancing regional potentials in the context of further developing the TEN-T
After the adoption of the Lisbon Treaty territorial cohesion has become an objective of EU policies. The Territorial Agenda 2020 (TA2020) aims at realising territorial cohesion by defining several priorities and highlighting that it requires close cooperation between sector and spatial development policies. This cooperation is the main topic of this study. Using the example of trans-European transport networks, linkages between transport and spatial development policy were analysed.
The analyses were conducted in the light of the European guidelines for developing a trans-European transport network (TEN-T). The TEN-T guidelines form the legal framework for this EU sector policy. In Decision No. 1692/96/EG (1996) the main features for the development of a trans-European transport network were laid down. Since then, different adjustments have been made. Not least due to comprehensive changes of the context, a fundamental realignment became necessary. This realignment was done in the context of the revision process completed in December 2013.
