Complementarity CEF – ESI Funds (1)CEF ESI Funds
• High EU added-value on TEN-T Corridors and core network (as pre-identified in Annex I of the CEF Regulation)
• More sustainable modes of transport: rail, IWW
• High EU added-value projects to remove bottlenecks in transport networks, by supporting TEN-T infrastructure on both the core and comprehensive networks
• All modes of transport
• Regional mobility, through connecting secondary and tertiary nodes to TEN-T infrastructure
• Network effect: strong coordination of investments in TEN-T needed
• Common project pipeline for ESI Funds and CEF, to be included in the Operational Programmes
• Corridors Work Plans
• National Transport Master Plans
TransportTransport
CEF grants: direct management
TransportTransport
• The Multi-annual Work Programme (MAP)• € 11 billion total, including €4bn from the Cohesion envelope
• Only for projects pre-identified in Annex I of CEF (Corridors, other sections on the core network, horizontal priorities)
• The Annual Work Programme (AP)• € 930 million
• Other projects on the core network
• Comprehensive network
• Connections with neighbouring countries
• Specific priorities which complement actions under the MAP
(e.g.: Freight Transport Services, Actions to reduce rail freight noise)
CEF: 2014 calls for proposals (GRANTS)
TransportTransport
CEF: Programme Support Actions
• Support to participation in the core network corridors of (all) Member States
• Strengthening administrative capacity of the Member States eligible for the Cohesion Fund
• Technical assistance services for the development and implementation of projects implementing the TEN-T core network in the MS eligible to the Cohesion Fund
• Technical assistance to improve capacity building for Railway Infrastructure Managers eligible to the Cohesion envelope
TransportTransport
CEF: Financial instruments (1)
• Added Value• Attract private investors to support the deployment of transport
infrastructure projects of common European interest.
• Obtain the best possible deal for the European tax-payer
• Give access to finance to projects that would not be able to do it or only at very high price
• Financial Instruments = 10% of the CEF envelope
• Between EUR 1,300 and 2,400 million foreseen• Possible increase up to 20% of the CEF envelope, is set in the legal
base• The estimated leverage effect is expected to range between 6 to 15;
i.e. 1 EUR CEF to generate up to 15 EUR project finance

CEF: Financial instruments (2)Full eligibility
TEN-T core & comprehensive, all modes
Projects with identifiable revenue streams or commercial benefits and long-term repayment
high speed rail, ports and airports development, motorways, locks, rail connection to airport...
support to rail infra managers, equipment of fleet with clean fuels or with on-board traffic management systems...
deployment of clean fuels or traffic management systems on ground and on-board, joint procurement for clean urban transport or road electrification...
Partnership with financial institutions, such as EIB
TransportTransport
Financial instruments (3)
• Type of Financial instruments
• Equity intrumentsRisk-capital, e.g. Marguerite Fund
Investing in equity reduces the need for debt and reduces the level of risks
• Debt instrumentsGuarantees and risk-sharing instruments, e.g. LGTT and Project Bonds
- LGTT to support bank lending
- Project Bonds made to support investment from Capital Market investors (Pension funds, insurance companies)
CEF can contribute to the RSFF (Risk-Sharing Finance Facility under FP7/Horizon 2020).
- RSFF can provide loans or guarantee for projects with innovation, research or technological risks, up to 50% of the eligible costs.
