The “Connecting Europe” Facility CEF 2 2021-2027

The Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) for 2021-2027 is a continuation of the CEF from the 2014-2020 perspective and is therefore sometimes referred to as CEF 2.

CEF 2 aims to further support the modernization and construction of infrastructure located on the TEN-T trans-European transport network, i.e. of common interest to the European Union. The infrastructure on the network is to provide appropriate common standards of technical and functional performance. All this to support sustainable economic development and territorial cohesion of the EU.
