REGULATION (EU) 2019/495 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 25 March 2019
amending Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013 with regard to the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 172 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (2),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (3),
Whereas:
(1) |
On 29 March 2017, the United Kingdom submitted the notification of its intention to withdraw from the Union pursuant to Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union. The Treaties will cease to apply to the United Kingdom from the date of entry into force of a withdrawal agreement or failing that, two years after that notification, namely, from 30 March 2019, unless the European Council, in agreement with the United Kingdom, unanimously decides to extend that period. |
(2) |
The Connecting Europe Facility, which is a key Union funding instrument, was established by Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4). The aim of the Connecting Europe Facility is to enable projects of cross-border and common interest to be prepared and implemented within the framework of the trans-European networks policy in the sectors of transport, telecommunications and energy in order to improve the functioning of the internal market and to improve competitiveness, as well as to contribute to economic, social and territorial cohesion and to the sustainable development targets. |
(3) |
Part I of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013 sets out a list of nine core network corridors. Those corridors constitute an instrument to facilitate the coordinated implementation of the core network. They should contribute to the cohesion of the core network through improved territorial cooperation, address wider transport policy objectives and facilitate interoperability, modal integration and multimodal operations. |
(4) |
The United Kingdom is part of the North Sea — Mediterranean Core Network Corridor, which includes links between Belfast, Dublin and Cork on the island of Ireland, and links in Great Britain from Glasgow and Edinburgh in the North to Folkestone and Dover in the South. The United Kingdom's sections and nodes are included in the table entitled ‘Pre-identified sections including projects’ of the core network corridors included in point 2 of Part I of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013. |
(5) |
In view of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union, the parts of the alignment of the North Sea — Mediterranean Core Network Corridor related to the United Kingdom and the United Kingdom's sections and nodes included in the table of pre-identified sections including projects will become obsolete and will no longer produce legal effects from the day following that on which Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013 ceases to apply to the United Kingdom. |
(6) |
For Ireland, maritime links represent a key means of ensuring its direct connectivity with mainland Europe, particularly in view of the uncertain evolution of trade flows passing over the United Kingdom ‘land bridge’. |
(7) |
In order to avoid a situation in which the North Sea — Mediterranean Core Network Corridor is separated into two distinct and unconnected parts and to ensure connectivity of Ireland with mainland Europe, the North Sea — Mediterranean Core Network Corridor... |
