Mid-term evaluation of the Connecting Europe Facility (formerly Smart Cities)

Opinion
Adopted on 23/02/2017
Reference: 
TEN/606-EESC-2016
Rapporteur: 
Isabel CAÑO AGUILAR (Workers - GR II / Spain)

The EESC welcomes the CEF's support for clean, low-carbon transport and sustainable energy structures, as well as the attention given to energy vulnerability. However, the Committee would like to see more financial resources allocated to the CEF.

It will be possible to meet the expectations of city "users" – inhabitants, businesses, visitors and administrators – thanks to digital service ecosystems overlaying high-quality material and immaterial enabling infrastructure. Establishing this infrastructure will also have a significant impact in terms of growth, employment and productivity.
