3 The revised TEN-T - network design Comprehensive network: upgrading of national TEN-T maps (reflecting developments on the ground) revised selection criteria (average-based quantity thresholds, and geographical criteria) for ports and airports; new multimodal layer (road-rail terminals included) Core network: part of the comprehensive network connections carrying the strategically most relevant EU traffic flows starting from nodes, based on agreed methodology with MS

and airports; new multimodal layer (road-rail terminals included) Core network: part of the comprehensive network
