Today (17 March), the European Commission has approved an investment package worth more than €1.4 billion of EU funds in 14 large infrastructure projects in seven member states, namely Croatia, Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, Romania and Spain. The projects cover several key areas such as environment, health, transport and energy for a smarter, low-carbon Europe.

They represent a massive investment to boost the economy, protect the environment and improve citizens' quality of life and social well-being.

Cohesion and Reforms Commissioner for Elisa Ferreira said: “In such difficult times for our continent, it is crucial that Cohesion policy continues to play its role in supporting the economy for the benefit of our citizens. Today's major project adoptions show that EU funding, and Cohesion policy in particular, delivers concrete results, helping regions and cities becoming a safer, cleaner and more comfortable place for people and business. Many of the approved projects also help delivering on the goals of the European Green Deal. When the European Commission, member states and regions join forces, we can achieve a lot.”

More information on the major projects adopted today is available in this press release as well as on this webpage.
