Recital 9 a (new)
(9a) The available budget should be allocated in a geographically balanced manner so that projects can be covered in all the Member States. This principle, the aim of which is to guarantee geographical balance, should be included in the relevant work programmes adopted in accordance with the CEF Regulation, be specified in the calls for projects and, if necessary, should allow increased participation for applicants from Member States where participation has been low. The criteria for selecting applications should not result in a situation where areas that are already digitalised are favoured, to the detriment of regions that are most in need of connectivity. Areas in need of connectivity should take priority.
