In accordance with the revised Regulation establishing the Union guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network (TEN-T)[1], the European Coordinators shall submit an annual status report to the European Parliament, the Council, the Commission and the Member States concerned on the progress achieved in implementing the European Transport Corridors.
It shall focus on the progress made on key priorities and investments, describe the nature of problems encountered in their implementation, and suggests potential solutions. This new provision entered into force on 18 July 2024, therefore the first annual status report is expected by mid-2025.
As part of its regular activities to facilitate the coordinated implementation of the corridor, the coordinator will organise twice a year a corridor forum with representatives of all the ministries and regions along the corridor, infrastructure managers of all transport modes, maritime and inland port authorities as well as urban nodes.
This forum is the platform to inform and consult the corridor stakeholders on the progress made in terms of the completion of the TEN-T corridor, the challenges ahead, the priorities to be set etc. The first forum for the new Atlantic Corridor will take place in November 2024 in Brussels.
The coordinator is also always available for bilateral exchanges, e.g. with regional representatives or Members of the European Parliament, on the various challenges and priorities of the corridor.
