    Von der Leyen proposes more than 50 billion euros for transport in the next budget and calls for completing the Trans-European Transport Network as foreseen.

    Source excerpt

    “Check against delivery” Commissioner Tzitzikostas, dear Apostolos, Commissioner Andrius Kubilius, Ladies and Gentlemen, It is a pleasure to be at the Connecting Europe Days 2026. Because transport has always been at the heart of our Union's story. 70 years ago, as Europe's founding fathers were negotiating the Treaties that would shape our Union, engineers were finishing a railway bridge across the Rhine between France and Germany.

And for millions of Europeans, that is how our Union became real in their everyday lives. And it remains true today.
