Abstract

The TENs initiative is essentially a campaign to achieve comprehensive, continuous physical infrastructure across the EU. It covers the main transport and energy networks (rail, road, combined transport, air, inland waterways, maritime transport, gas and electricity) and telecommunications. Also included in the original programme, but not featuring prominently in future development work, are education and training networks.1 At the behest of the June 1994 Corfu Council, environmental networks (that is, the capacity to supply adequate amounts of clean water and to dispose of solid and liquid wastes) have been added to the TENs agenda.
