Commissioners Tzitzikostas and Kubilius to discuss necessary investments in EU military mobility and infrastructure

Today, Commissioners Apostolos Tzitzikostas and Andrius Kubilius participate in the extraordinary TEN-T Committee with Member States, aimed at speeding up the EU’s military mobility policy -a cornerstone of Europe's defence and security architecture.

The meeting will bring together representatives from transport and defence ministries, as well as NATO, including NATO Assistant Secretary General for Defence Policy and Planning, François-Marie Gougeon, NATO’s Joint Support and Enabling Command (JSEC) Commander Lieutenant General Kai Rohrschneider, and the European Union Military Staff, to mark an important step in the joint efforts to strengthen Europe’s logistical networks and address critical infrastructure investment needs along four established EU priority military mobility corridors.

These corridors - identified through cooperation with EU Member States and EU Military Staff, and in close collaboration with NATO - include over 500 priority projects, ranging from reinforcing bridges and widening tunnels to constructing railway sidings, to be addressed as a matter of priority, as indicated in the recently adopted White Paper for European Defence Readiness 2030.

Investments will be focused on projects with the most tangible dual-use impact, ensuring that infrastructure improvements serve both civilian and military needs. The outcomes of this work will feed directly into the upcoming Military Mobility Package, to be adopted later this year.

The European Commission also invites transport and defence stakeholders to contribute to a recently launched targeted consultation aimed at shaping future actions and priorities in this area.
