[ Abstract ]

This paper delves into the configuration of the transport infrastructure policy of the European Union, from the beginning, in the 1970s, to the present, through its identification as a relevant sphere of activity in order to strengthen the territorial, social and economic cohesion of the European Union as it was stated in the Maastricht Treaty. We analyze the historical evolution of the proposals addressing the guidelines for the development of TEN-T, that have defined a new common infrastructure policy, as well as the intense debates on budgetary matters that have been carried out between the different European institutions in order to promote private investment and encourage public-private participation in project funding.
