The Maastricht treaty gave the European Union the power to deal with trans-european infrastructural networks in the fields of transportation, communication and energy. This is a major change since the control over such networks was in the past tightly hold by national states. The paper explores the consequences of this change upon the processes of policy-making within the Union and discusses whether the decisions concerning the infrastructural networks are made through policy-making networks. Three policy-making models are taken into account: the functional model, the intergovernmental relations model, and the multilevel governance model. Each of them can explain some of the decision concerning different features of trans-european infrastructures, i.e. their fluency vs. their territorial shape. The analysis shows the growing importance of the «legitimization through output» within European Union and the growing role of territorial representation.
