​​The deadline for applications under the first Call for proposals under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF)for transport projects was in March 2015. Decisions on projects made under this Call are not due to be finalised until after September 2015.

As part of the application process, applicants must provide details of all funding sources proposed for the project. The ratio of funding available from the CEF is outlined in the CEF Regulations and varies depending on the type, nature and mode of the project. Applications for funding for Studies can be eligible for up to 50% of project cost and, for capital projects, at various levels of up to 10%, 20%, 30% or 40% depending on the nature and mode of the project.  

Ultimately, the level of CEF transport co-funding available will be determined in the decision making process and set out in final decisions given to successful applicants.
