Summary

Headline: Rail Baltica: EU coordinator urges Latvia to take decisions

Short Summary: EU coordinator for the North Sea-Baltic Corridor urges Latvia to finalize decisions on Rail Baltica scope, sequencing, and funding by early 2026 to meet the EU 2030 target.

Description

On 3 February 2026, the European Commission's coordinator for the North Sea-Baltic Corridor urged Latvia to make formal decisions on the scope, sequencing, and funding for the Rail Baltica project, warning that delays could undermine the EU's 2030 target. The call was highlighted by RB Rail AS, the joint venture managing the project, emphasizing that unresolved national choices in Latvia affect project scope, delivery sequence, and financing. Without clear Latvian decisions, the project lacks a fixed scope and budget, impacting procurement, funding security, cost control, scheduling, and cross-border coordination.
