The Committee on Transport and Tourism gives its opinion on the proposed regulation setting up a budget expenditure tracking and performance framework and other horizontal rules for Union programmes and activities. It welcomes the proposal as a step towards stronger accountability and comparability, and says a unified framework matters for long-term, capital-intensive transport projects. The rapporteur proposes targeted amendments to Annex I, refining transport-related intervention fields, adjusting coefficients and adding precise, measurable indicators.

Committee position. The committee welcomes the proposal but proposes targeted amendments to Annex I, refining transport-related intervention areas, adjusting coefficients and adding precise, measurable indicators.

Key points

  1. The proposal sets up a single system for monitoring EU spending, replacing programme-specific rules that the opinion calls administratively complex and fragmented.
  2. The opinion places the proposal within the overhaul of the 2028-2034 Multiannual Financial Framework.
  3. It says a unified performance framework is essential for transport, which relies on long-term, capital-intensive projects and cross-border coordination.
  4. It wants resources aligned with EU priorities such as sustainability, resilience and modal shift, and results demonstrated on the ground.
  5. The rapporteur proposes amendments to Annex I to sharpen sector-specific clarity and performance accountability.
  6. The amendments refine the relevant intervention areas and adjust coefficients where warranted.
  7. The amendments introduce precise, measurable and policy-relevant indicators reflecting the operational realities of transport infrastructure and services.
  8. The committee submits its opinion to the Committee on Budgets and the Committee on Budgetary Control as the committees responsible.
