Amendment 34 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5 a (new)
Paragraph 5 a (new)
5 a. Believes that good quality infrastructure requires sufficient investment and maintenance, in particular to ensure appropriate and seamless multi-modal connections with mutual civilian and military benefits; notes that while the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) concentrates on the transport civilian priorities only, there are obvious examples where additional investment could yield significant benefits for military goals, such as projects of cross-border nature, critical infrastructure and key infrastructure components; therefore points out that identifying the possible synergies and looking at such dual use, alongside reinforcing budgets where needed, is an absolute must for both the civilian and military infrastructure; highlights that this could be reinforced to achieve the TEN-T core network by 2030 and the European Defence Union by 2025;
