I met with the EU Transport Commissioner Violeta Bulc when in Luxembourg for a Transport Council meeting in June 2016. In relation to EU funding for infrastrutural projects, my officials have attended committees chaired by the European Commission and are proactively engaged with the European Commission and other stakeholders concerning the Connecting Europe Facility for Transport which comes under the remit of my Department.
My officials are also in contact with officials in other Departments and agencies concerning other EU co-funding programs such as Interreg and Horizon 2020 which come under the remit of my colleagues in the Department of Jobs, Enterprise, and Innovation and in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
