Philippe Boulland (PPE), in writing. – (FR) I believe that a common policy on trans-European network infrastructures is necessary for the proper functioning of the common market. In this regard, the Commission has proposed the creation of a Connecting Europe Facility for the next financial framework. Furthermore, this report proposes the launch of a pilot phase in 2012-2013 through the implementation of a new financial instrument to mobilise more private sector funding as well as project bonds. This project is part of the Europe 2020 strategy for a competitive, sustainable and inclusive Europe.
