CEF Key features
• Funds allocation mainly through grants but also
financial instruments
• Higher co-funding rates which can be further
increased under certain conditions (e.g.
bottlenecks, cross-border)
• For the cohesion envelope co-funding rate up to
85%
• Implementation by Multi-annual (80-85%) and
Annual (15-20%) Work Programmes

Guiding principles for call design
• Call structure based on 2014 multi-annual
and annual work programmes
• Call structure fully in line with CEF funding
objectives and the priorities defined in MAP
& AP work programmes
• Simplification and harmonisation between
calls
• Minimised risk of overlaps between calls and
priorities
