EU-FUNDED AIRPORT INFRASTRUCTURE: NEED FOR BETTER SUPERVISION

Transport infrastructure projects, including airport-related actions, are an important area of spending from the EU budget. The EU has spent over 4.5 billion euro on air transport related investments in the years 2000-2013 via the ERDF, the Cohesion Fund and the TEN-T programmes. Out of this sum 1.2 billion euro was spent on airport-related investment in technologies and multi-modal connections and 500 million on studies and smaller infrastructure works in airports in non-cohesion policy areas.
