100th initiative registered: ‘Connecting all European capitals and people through a high-speed train network’

On 18 April the Commission registered a European citizens' initiative entitled ‘Connecting all European capitals and people through a high-speed train network’.  

It calls for connecting all European capitals through high-speed railway lines by linking the existing high-speed railway networks and by building high-speed lines where these do not yet exist.

This is the fourth citizens initiative registered in 2023, and overall 100th, marking an important milestone since the introduction of the tool in 2012.
