OPINION on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing Horizon 2020 – The Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (2014–2020)
Amendments (9)
Amendment 65 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.2 – paragraph 4
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.2 – paragraph 4
Business-as-usual is therefore not an option. Research and innovation, driven by policy objectives and focused on the key challenges, shall contribute substantially to achieve the Union's targets of limiting global temperature increase to 2ºC, cutting 60 % of CO2 emissions from transport, drastically reduce congestion and accident costs, and virtually eradicating road deaths by 2050, achieving close to zero fatalities in road transport and, in line with this goal, aim to halve road casualties by 2020.
Amendment 70 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.2 – paragraph 5
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.2 – paragraph 5
The problems of pollution, congestion, safety and security are common throughout the Union and call for collaborative Europe-wide responses. Accelerating the development and deployment of new technologies and innovative solutions for vehicles, infrastructures and transport management will be key to achieve a cleaner, safer and more efficient transport system in the Union; to deliver the results necessary to mitigate climate change and improve resource efficiency; to maintain European leadership on the world markets for transport related products and services. These objectives cannot be achieved through fragmented national efforts alone.
Amendment 80 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.3 – point a – paragraph 2
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.3 – point a – paragraph 2
The focus of activities shall be to reduce resource consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and improve vehicle efficiency, to accelerate the development and deployment of a new generation of electric and other low or zero emission vehicles (i.e. hybrid and hydrogen), including through breakthroughs in engines, batteries and infrastructure ; to explore and exploit the potential of alternative fuels and innovative and more efficient propulsion systems, including fuel infrastructure; to optimise the use of infrastructures, by means of intelligent transport systems and smart equipment; and to increase the use of demand management and public and non- motorised transport, particularly in urban areas.
Amendment 84 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.3 – point a – paragraph 2 a (new)
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.3 – point a – paragraph 2 a (new)
An approach and solutions need to be devised for the innovative, transparent and modern organisation of urban mobility, taking into account demographic social changes, along with proposals for the coexistence of the various transport modes in urban areas, including non- motorised transport, and links with the network.
Amendment 89 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.3 – point b – paragraph 2
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.3 – point b – paragraph 2
The focus of activities shall be to reduce congestion, improve accessibility and match user needs by promoting integrated door-to-door transport and logistics; to accelerate the uptake of intermodal solutions for passengers (intermodal ticketing), to enhance inter-modality and the deployment of smart planning and management solutions; and to drastically reduce the occurrence of accidents and the impact of security threats..(i.e. by improving communication between infrastructure, road managers and vehicles through smart systems as well as a better understanding of the behaviour of traffic participants in order to improve technological in-vehicle solutions and primary and secondary road safety prevention, developing ITS for road users, focusing on high risk groups such as two wheelers, cyclists, pedestrians) and the impact of security threats(i.e. developing reliable systems for threat detection in aviation as well as developing recording devices for maritime security)
Amendment 96 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.3 – point c – paragraph 2
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.3 – point c – paragraph 2
The focus of activities shall be to develop the next generation of innovative transport means and to prepare the ground for the following one, by working on novel concepts and designs, smart control systems and interoperable standards, efficient production processes, smart services, shorter development times and reduced lifecycle costs.
Amendment 99 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.3 – point c – paragraph 2 a (new)
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.3 – point c – paragraph 2 a (new)
These activities should also lead to a European strategy for the prevention and reduction of disputes in the use of public appeals against the development of infrastructure and transport nodes, by establishing efficient models for information, participation, mediation, planning and public consultation.
Amendment 100 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.3 – point c a (new)
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.3 – point c a (new)
(ca) Smart logistics The aim is to reconcile growing new consumer patterns with an efficient resource supply chain and optimal last- mile freight distribution. The focus of activities shall be to better understand the impact of new and future consumer patterns and their impact on urban freight logistics, traffic and congestion; develop new IT and management tools for logistics, by improving real time information systems; manage, track and trace freight flows, integration and communication on vehicles and with infrastructure; develop unconventional systems for goods distribution; develop competitive intermodal solutions for the supply chain and logistics platforms that improve freight flows.
Amendment 101 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.3 – point d – paragraph 1
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.3 – point d – paragraph 1
The aim is to support improved policy making which is necessary to promote innovation and meet the challenges raised by transport and the societal needs related to it. particularly in the areas of: - innovative funding geared to complex transnational projects with long-term planning and profitability and sustainability requirements; - the effective creation of green jobs in the transport sector that are clearly identified with the need to decarbonise transport and make it more sustainable.
