Question for written answer E-002096/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Michał Dworczyk (ECR)
With work on updating the Action Plan on Military Mobility and the preparation of a new Multiannual Financial Framework ongoing, I would like to draw the Commission’s attention to the strategic importance of the Central Communication Port – a multimodal project designed as an element of dual-use infrastructure, which is vital both for civilian transport and for the rapid deployment of allied forces in crisis situations. The Central Communication Port is of transnational importance and is able to play a key role in ensuring the EU’s security, especially in light of its location on NATO’s eastern flank and the geopolitical situation following Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. Although the project has been significantly scaled back, fortunately, thanks to public pressure, it has not been completely abandoned, and there is still a possibility of adapting it to its original objectives.
In light of the above:
- 1.Does the Commission deem the Central Communication Port project to be important for military mobility and EU security, and will the Commission classify the project as a strategic infrastructure element in the updated Action Plan on Military Mobility?
- 2.Does the Commission consider the Central Communication Port project to be eligible for support under the Connecting Europe Facility, in particular in the area of dual-use transport infrastructure?
- 3.Is the Commission considering recognising the Central Communication Port as a project of common interest (PCI) or granting it EU support, given its importance for the EU’s resilience and preparedness in terms of military transport, as well as its ability to respond to threats on the eastern flank?
