Takes note that the agreement on European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) results in cuts in the Connected Europe Facility (CEF); reminds in this regard that there will be an inevitable decrease in investment in some specific areas, since they are less attractive for private investors, by their nature; reminds, for example, that though investments in railways and, sustainable urban mobility, horizontal projects and sustainable inland waterways produce substantial socio- economic and environmental benefits, they are rather less profitable and need grants for their implementation; emphasises that coordination is needed to ensure that those projects of high European added value shall be reintroduced through the Juncker Plan or just EFSI.

Paragraph 7
7. Suggests, bearing in mind that there is no direct budgetary line for tourism, using the EU budget for the transport sector as a factor in promoting the tourist attractiveness and competitiveness of the whole ‘Old Continent’; stresses that an efficient cross-collaboration between the numerous sectors concerned is desirable in this field. Calls the Commission to review the objectives for action under the COSME programme and believes therefore that increased amounts of (co- )funding for sustainable tourism projects must be reserved within the COSME programme; it must include the support and promotion of cycle routes networks in combination with railways, the protection of natural, cultural, historical and industrial heritage as well as the support for better accessibility to tourism services such as for persons with reduced mobility.
