A CONSULTANTS report by Ecorys, of the Netherlands, advising the European Commission on the 2007-13 European Union (EU) trans-European networks (TENs) transport programme, has called for close targeting of its Euro 5.1 billion grants, ignoring roads altogether. The Commission has already decided it wants to spend most of the money on rail and inland waterways.
