Press Release: Information note of the European Court of Auditors on Special Report No 6/2005 on the trans-european network for transport (TEN-T)

The European Community contributes to the establishment of trans-European networks in the area of transport (TEN-T) to promote cohesion, interconnection and interoperability of national networks as well as access to such networks across the European Union. To achieve this, the Community finances infrastructure projects and studies for roads, railways, inland waterways, airports, ports, satellite navigation and traffic management systems. The European Court of Auditors' audit presented in its Special Report No.5/2005 assessed the extent to which the Commission's management system - including the design and implementation of the legal framework, administrative procedures and internal control system - was conducive to the economic, efficient and effective implementation of TEN-T.
