On the 9th of September 2024, the European Commission designated nine new Coordinators to advance the completion of the trans-European transport network (TEN-T), a key infrastructure project aimed at connecting the EU through a vast network of railways, roads, and inland waterways.
Seven of the Coordinators will be responsible for overseeing the European Transport Corridors, which form the backbone of TEN-T, while two additional Coordinators will manage important horizontal priorities: the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) and the European Maritime Space (EMS). These mandates are set for four years, with the possibility of renewal.
The newly appointed Coordinators will work closely with Member States, cities, regions, and infrastructure managers to ensure the successful completion of the TEN-T. Their collaboration at local, regional, national, and European levels will play a crucial role in overcoming challenges and facilitating the development of this critical network.
- The following is the list of TEN-T Coordinators and their respective corridors:
- North Sea – Baltic: Catherine Trautmann (FR)
