The regional European Electronic Toll Services (EETS) initiative is about to be kick-started by over US$3 million of co-financing from the 1816 European Union TEN-T Program.

A a series of studies aimed at deploying EETS on a cross-border regional scale, selected for funding under the 2012 TEN-T multi-annual programme, specifically cover the electronically tolled primary road network of seven member states: Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Spain, and Switzerland, which receives no EU support. It aims to deploy EETS on the ground, taking into account the perspective of full European coverage.

Two main phases are included in the studies: analysis of contractual, procedural and technical topics, in order to develop recommendations and solutions that can facilitate the introduction of EETS; and deployment of an open information platform that covers all the participating countries and a pilot demonstration of EETS compliant services covering a selection of the supporting countries.

The studies will be monitored by the Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA) and are set to be completed by the end of December 2015.
