Communication Activities: We are involved in many (cross-border related) projects. One project which could serve as an example of implementation of TEN-T policy through CEF funding is Rail Ghent Terneuzen (www.railghentterneuzen.eu). The implementation study has been funded through the CEF program (2016-EU-TA-0174-S). But there are also relevant key projects related to TEN E such as several CO2 transport projects in the North Sea Port area. These are projects that can serve as key projects for funding under the CEF Energy.
