Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Reiterates its support for the targets set out in the White Paper and the 10 goals for a competitive and resource-efficient transport system (benchmarks for achieving the 60 % GHG emission and 20 % transport emission reduction targets by 2030); stresses that the mid- term review should maintain the level of ambition of the goals set in 2011 and propose concrete measures and initiatives to increase and streamline the efforts to meet them; considers that it is necessary to evaluate the extent to which the list of actions set out in the White Paper is sufficient to achieve its overarching goals;
Amendment 221 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9
Paragraph 9
9. Emphasises the importance of promoting electro-mobility and electric public transport systems, coupled with the introduction of renewable energy sources in the electricity sector, givpropulsion systems powered by electricity or alternative renewable energies, in particular those for which Europe has a major technological advantage; laments the fact that these technologies have still not been sufficiently deployed, especially in public transport; calls for these technologies to be used ing priority toarticular for the electrification of the rail network, tramways, electric cars and e-bikes; stresses the potential of modern aerial tramways (cable cars), as an inexpensive and easy-to-build means of transportation, to expand the capacity of urban public transport systems; recalls that this deployment must be conducted by adhering to the principle of technological neutrality, thereby allowing the most sustainable technologies to actually be used in the long term;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 22
Paragraph 22
22. Calls for an enhanced research and technology agenda for the transport sector; considers that this agenda should be drawn up in cooperation with all relevant stakeholders in order to understand the needs of the sector and, accordingly, improve the allocation of EU funding; takes the view that priority should be given to projects to decarbonisereduce the carbon emissions produced by transport, increase the transparency of the supply chain, enhance transport safety and security, improve traffic management and reduce administrative burdens;
