This new instrument will facilitate greater participation of the private sector in the financing of transport infrastructure of European significance, especially for investments in TENs projects where there is a high level of revenue risk in the early operational period of a project. The LGTT, which forms part of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) programme and the EIB's Action for Growth initiative, will partially cover this risk and thereby significantly improve the financial viability of TENs investments. The capital contribution of €1 billion (€500 million each from the Commission and the EIB) is intended to support up to €25 billion of total capital investment.[03] L'aviation générale et d'affaires à l'ordre du jour de la CommissionAujourd'hui, la Commission européenne a adopté un ordre du jour pour l'aviation générale et d'affaires en Europe. Pour la première fois depuis la création du marché intérieur de l'aviation, la Commission a étudié ce secteur, a quantifié sa valeur et a identifié les défis auxquels il doit faire face. La Commission propose maintenant d'intégrer l'aviation générale et d'affaires dans la politique de l'UE en matière de transports aériens. Améliorer la collecte de données, examiner la législation afin d'assurer la proportionnalité et l'intégrer l'aviation générale et d'affaires dans les initiatives d'optimisation des ressources constituent les principaux éléments de ce projet.[04] Commission clears acquisition of Sagem by Gores GroupThe European Commission has granted clearance under the EU Merger Regulation to the acquisition of sole control of Sagem Communications (Sagem) of France by Gores Group LLC (Gores Group) of the US.
