(1)The Treaty establishing the Transport Community 3  ('TCT') was approved on behalf of the Union by means of Council Decision (EU) 2019/392 4 . It entered into force on 1 May 2019.

(2)Pursuant to Article 35 TCT, the Regional Steering Committee of the Transport Community ('the Steering Committee') is to adopt the budget of the Transport Community every year. Article 35 TCT also empowers the Steering Committee to adopt decisions specifying the procedure for the implementation of the budget.

(3)The Steering Committee is to adopt a decision on the budget of the Transport Community for 2024 during its last meeting in 2023.

(4)The proposed budget of the Transport Community for 2024 is needed for the proper functioning of the bodies of the Transport Community. It covers the costs of human resources, travel, IT equipment and software, as well as operational expenditure such as studies, capacity-building, technical assistance and the organisation of conferences and meetings.

(5)It is appropriate to establish the position to be taken on the Union’s behalf within the Steering Committee concerning the decision on the adoption of the budget of the Transport Community for the year 2024, as such a decision, which is necessary for the functioning of the Permanent Secretariat of the Transport Community, will be binding on the Union,

(6)The position of the Union within the Steering Committee should therefore be based on the attached draft Decision.
