The coordinators will oversee seven of the nine core European transport corridors, with the remaining two dedicated to crucial horizontal priorities: the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) and the European Maritime Space (EMS). This initiative follows the entry into force of the revised TEN-T Regulation in July 2024, which transformed the core network corridors into European transport corridors with updated alignments.
The TEN-T project, one of the EU’s flagship undertakings, aims to establish an integrated and efficient transport network across Europe. The coordinators will collaborate with Member States, cities, regions, and infrastructure managers at multiple levels – local, regional, national, and European – to facilitate the realisation of the project.
The full list of coordinators and their respective corridors is as follows:
- Carlo Secchi – Atlantic corridor
- Anne Elisabet Jensen – Baltic-Adriatic corridor
- Mathieu Grosch – Mediterranean corridor
- Catherine Trautmann – North Sea-Baltic corridor
- Pat Cox – Scandinavian-Mediterranean corridor
- Marian-Jean Marinescu – Western Balkans-Eastern Mediterranean corridor
- Paweł Wojciechowski – North Sea-Rhine-Mediterranean corridor
- Matthias Ruete – European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS)
- Gesine Meissner – European Maritime Space (EMS)
Two additional coordinators will be appointed in early 2025 for the Baltic Sea-Black Sea-Aegean corridor and the Rhine-Danube corridor, completing the team responsible for driving forward the TEN-T network.
The newly appointed experts will serve for a four-year term, which is renewable, with a mandate to ensure that the TEN-T network meets its ambitious goals.
