EC assesses the impact of major transport investments

During the period 2000 - 2006, the European Commission provided more than Euro 16 billion to help finance a large number of transport infrastructure projects in Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and the new EU Member States of central and eastern Europe. As an exercise in the evaluation of its cohesion policy instruments, the Directorate General for Regional Policy (DG Regio) wants to assess the socio-economic impact of those projects and draw lessons from it.

Frontier (Europe) is leading the consortium commissioned by DG Regio to carry out an ex-post cost-benefit analysis of ten large transport projects cofinanced by the Cohesion Fund during 2000-2006.
