📋 Tender Overview
On October 16, the Deputy State Secretary of the Ministry of Transport (MoT), Elina Simina-Neverovski, will participate in the discussions of the heads of transport administrations of the European Union Member States during a working visit to Brussels to talk about current affairs in the field of military mobility, promoting the stability of the transport network, as well as about the next EU Multiannual Financial Framework project regarding the transport sector and the achievable goals. During the discussions, the Deputy State Secretary of the MoU will express that Latvia positively evaluates the European Commissions (EC) proposal of the Regulation of the European Parliament and the Council, which establishes the European Infrastructure Interconnection Instrument (EISI) for the period from 2028 to 2034. Also, it will be pointed out in the negotiations that Latvia has a significant EC offer for the CEIS total envelope, which is almost three times larger than the current CEIS II, and this is a strong signal for the cross-border projects of the transport sector in order to move towards the completion of the TEN-T transport core network and the extended network by 2030 and 2040. In Brussels, discussions will emphasize the opinion that, in Latvias view, CEIS is an important and unique program at the EU level for the implementation of cross-border transport infrastructure projects, especially the implementation of the project. Thus, at the same time, regional security is strengthened and military mobility is developed, as the project fully meets the needs of a dual-use infrastructure. Regarding military mobility in the field of transport, it will be emphasized that the European Commissions coordinated approach, i.e. jointly involving the ministries and institutions of both the transport and defense fields in the discussions has resulted in the definition of common interests and needs at the EU level, and the started and coordinated work must be continued. Discussions on measures to reduce the administrative burden in the field of transport are also planned, in which it will be emphasized that we see positive features in EU-level legislation, while a broad step can be taken in further simplification, including to improve reporting to the European Commission.
