Trans-European road network
- Trans-European road network
The Trans-European road network (TERN) was defined by Council Decision 93/629/EEC of October 29, 1993, and is a project to improve the internal road infrastructure of the European Union (EU). The TERN project is one of several Trans-European transport networks.
The EU promises that TERN will "promote the carriage of goods and passengers by improving the major highway infrastructures needed by the internal market and the area without frontiers." [ [http://europa.eu.int/scadplus/leg/en/lvb/l24094.htm Community guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network] ] Opponents, such as the Campaign Against Euro Federalism [ [http://www.bullen.demon.co.uk/cibcaef4.htm "Who Benefits and Loses from the Trans European road Network System" by Brian Denny] ] , argue that it will help transnational corporations to lobby for more road-building while distancing the decision-makers from the protests of local people.
