Large infrastructure projects play a key role in
the delivery of the EU Trans-European Transport
Network. This review compares the EU framework
for their delivery with selected countries,
identifying practices which the Commission and
policymakers could take inspiration from and if
necessary adapt to the EU context.
We did not identify any practice which
could address the EU weaknesses related to
strategy. However, for the processes related to
coordination, selection, monitoring and ex post
evaluation we highlighted relevant examples.
We also analysed the current budget and schedule
overruns of six EU co-funded projects. Compared
to the global benchmark, four of these projects
have smaller budget overruns, while most of
these projects did experience on average longer
schedule delays.
