Permanent Group on Transport

The Permanent Group on Transport (PG-T) acts as an internal think tank for the TEN Section on transport issues, in particular as a body that anticipates new challenges and develops and reviews new ideas and concepts. As such, the PG-T seeks to reflect on perspectives and ideas, as well as on the overall role that the EESC – as a representative of Europe’s civil society – can play in shaping Europe's transport future.

During the 2025–2028 mandate, the PG-T will focus on the following topics:

• Green transition, decarbonisation, industrial competitiveness and regulatory updates
• Security, resilience and military mobility
• Connectivity, infrastructure and intermodality
• Social, urban and territorial mobility.

Multiannual Financial Framework 2028–2034

PG‑T met with DG MOVE’s Unit for Transport Investment and several stakeholders to discuss the European Commission’s proposal for the Multiannual Financial Framework 2028–2034, with a focus on transport objectives. Discussions highlighted four key priorities:

• Support for cross‑border TEN‑T projects of common interest;
• Development of smart, resilient, decarbonized, and sustainable TEN‑T network infrastructure;
• enhanced connectivity with third countries; and
• modification of civil transport infrastructure for military mobility.
