Regulation (EU) 2024/1679 - adopted by the co-legislators on 13 June 2024 - concerning the development of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T). It introduces amendments to Regulation (EU) 2021/1153 and Regulation (EU) No 913/2010 and repeals Regulation (EU) 1315/2013. This is a text with EEA relevance.

Further information:

This Regulation establishes guidelines for the development of a Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) consisting of comprehensive network and of a core network and extended core network, with the core network and extended core network to be established on the basis of the comprehensive network. The Act also identifies European Transport Corridors of highest strategic importance on the basis of priority sections of the TEN-T and projects of common interest (PCIs), and specifies the requirements to be complied with for the development and implementation of the infrastructure of the TEN-T. Finally, it sets out development priorities and provides for implementation measures.

The Act revises and replaces Regulation (EU) 1315/2013. It also amends Regulation (EU) No 913/2010 on the development of a European rail network for competitive freight, and Regulation (EU) 2021/1153 concerning the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF).

The draft law was adopted by the European Commission on 14 December 2021 as part of policy package aimed at improving the EU's transport system and its sustainability. It was a deliverable under the European Green Deal and Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy. On 27 July 2022, the Commission adopted an amended text to account for a changing geopolitical context. The Council of the European Union adopted its general approach to the proposal on 6 December 2022. The plenary of the European Parliament endorsed a negotiating position on 19 April 2023. An informal agreement between the co-legislators on a compromise text for the draft Regulation was reached on 18 December. This was formally endorsed by Parliament on 24 April and by the Council on 13 June. The Act was signed by the co-legislators on that same day, and published in the Official Journal on 28 June 2024.
