The EU's TEN-T Programme is to co-fund studies for the construction of an intermodal terminal at Timisoara International Airport in Romania with the aim of promoting the integration of freight transport within the air, rail and road TEN-T network.

The project includes a feasibility study and technical, economic and environmental studies that will form the basis for the terminal's design and construction. Once completed, it is expected to contribute to the intermodal growth of freight transport, thus promoting the overall economic development of the region. The project is to be completed by the end of 2015.

The project was selected for EU funding of US$1.3 million under the TEN-T Annual Call 2013, priority 'Multimodal transport'. Its implementation will be monitored by INEA, the 1690 European Commission's Innovation and Networks Executive Agency.

The TEN-T Programme was established by the European Commission to support the construction and upgrade of transport infrastructure across the 1816 European Union.
