Impact

February 2019

The Dutch Provinces Association covers the adoption of Scheffer’s opinion in their newsletter.

Dutch publication Haven & Transport covers the report of Michiel Scheffer on their website.

The European Committee of the Regions highlights Scheffer’s report on their webpage, noting that “Heavy administrative procedures and regulatory uncertainty are leading to delays and increased costs in the implementation of TEN-T projects. EU’s regions and cities back the European Commission’s proposals to fast-track permit-granting and regulative processes but demand full respect for the competences of local and regional authorities and stress the strategic role of early consultations and consensus-building.”

June 2018
