Paragraph 2
2. Underlines that Union transport policy, in particular with regard to the Tran-European transport Network, is one of the most successful Union policies; points out that the TEN-T network plays a fundamental role in commercial exchanges within the Union, contributing to the wealth of its citizens; recalls therefore the importance of financing missing and cross- border links of the TEN-T network and importance of linking the transport networks of all EU regions and solve such problems as the lack of appropriate infrastructure, accessibility and a low interoperability between the Central and Eastern, and Western parts of the EU;

Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Notes that the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) did not produce the expected results as regards transport infrastructures;, partly due to lack of clear and transparent geographical and economical allocation criteria and partly because the nature and objectives of the EFSI programme notably differ from the TEN-T policy goals, stresses therefore that cuts in the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) should not be further used to finance EFSI; strongly requests that the cuts in CEF to finance the EFSI programme are restored within the framework of the revision of the Multiannual Financial Framework or are at least earmarked for transport infrastructure projects with European added value;
