Connecting Europe Facility

1. Connecting Europe Facility A common infrastructure fund to deploy smart interconnected transport, energy and digital networks

2. Announcement in MFF • Connecting Europe Facility to promote the completion of • "transport core network" • "energy priority corridors" • and key digital infrastructure • It will combine market based instruments and EU direct support in order to optimise the impact of financing

3. Envisaged budget the MFF proposal 2014-2020 • Energy EUR 9,1 billion • Transport EUR 21,7 billion euro (+ EUR 10 billion) • ICT EUR 9,2 billion Total budget envelope for CEF: EUR 50 billion

4. Announcement in MFF – digital infrastructures • focused public intervention to stimulate private investment where the market case is weak, and • development of common architectures for digital services • support increasingly mobile citizens, • reduce transactions costs for enterprises, in particular SMEs in search of growth opportunities beyond their home markets • enable the emergence of the digital single market, • stimulate growth of cross-border services

5. Why investing in digital infrastructure ? Broadband networks 1. Current level of investment is not sufficient to ensure growth 2. No agreement on investment between incumbents and competitors, high cost of capital and high perceived risks Case for EU investment 3. No business case in rural and (in most) suburban areas 4. Core layers of digital services will not be financed by MS or private operators 5. Interoperability, standards and cross-border problems for digital services Digital Services

10. 1. Broadband networks roll-out 2. Enhanced supply of broadband 4. Enhance demand for broadband 3. Development of digital services • Financing deployment of 30 Mb broadband networks trough CEF - Creating critical mass and potential markets for applications - Enhanced supply of digital services will create foster new applications that will in turn need more bandwidth - Digital services deployed by the CEF act as European public goods (core layer)s Mutual reinforcement approach

11. Legal approach for the CEF package • Chapeau communication • CEF Regulation (rules for EU intervention) • Guidelines (criteria for projects of common interets): • Transport • Energy • Telecommunication • Pilot for project bonds (Communication and Regulation amending TEN Regulation and CIP decision)

12. CEF Regulation This Regulation gives a unified view on CEF • Full flexibility at mid term (with pre-allocated budget) • One Program Committee • Possibility of common Work Programs and joint calls • Higher co-financing for projects realising intra-sector synergies • EU focus, limited external dimension • Contribution to Europe 20-20-20 objectives

13. Timing • ISC completed (outstanding issue: lists of projects) • Adoption planned for 19 October 2011 • MFF discussion in the General Affairs Council • Presidency will issue an initial report on MFF

14. Awareness Raising to date • The concept signalled to telecom sector during the CEO process (reinforcement needed) • Presented CEF jointly with MOVE and ENER in Paris, Berlin and Copenhagen • Briefed Presidency • Included CEF in « Going Local » materials

15. Awareness Raising to continue • Proactively plan for meetings to promote CEF message while « Going local » • Propose to Representations (or other multipliers) to organise a dedicated presentation of CEF to Ministeries and Stakeholders • Use your personal contacts – help us identify powerful multipliers in your country / sector • Propose a champion
