En styrkelse og konkret iværksættelse af projekterne i forbindelse med de transeuropæiske net er mere nødvendig end nogensinde, hvis vi skal forberede udvidelsen og fremme integrationen mellem nye og gamle medlemsstater, men også hvis vi skal fjerne de hindringer og flaskehalse, der skaber funktionsforstyrrelser i det indre marked.
