The framework for the development of Community expenditure with ceilings for major spending categories covering several years and adopted jointly by the Commission, Parliament and the Council has been a standard feature since 1988 (Delors I package).

These budgetary priorities establish a framework for Community expenditure (the multiannual financial framework) in the shape of a financial perspective.

As regards the distribution of support in 2002 by mode, by far the greatest part of Union spending on transport under the TENs-T budget was concentrated on rail projects (almost 47%), followed by Galileo (30%) and roads (4%).
