Amendment 17 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4 a (new)
(4a) Given that 90 % of all travel by passenger cars in European cities is for journeys shorter than 6 km, there is considerable potential for modal shift towards walking, cycling and public transport.

Amendment 18 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6
(6) In order to address the specific needs of the Cohesion Fund, and in line with the Europe 2020 strategy that cohesion policy should support the need to deliver smart, sustainable and inclusive growth while minimising the external costs for society of the activities supported, it is necessary to set out investment priorities within the scope of the thematic objectives laid down in Regulation (EU) No […]/2012 [CPR].

Amendment 19 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 2 – paragraph 1 – introductory part
1. The Cohesion Fund shall, while ensuring an appropriate balance andin each Members State, limit support to road projects to a maximum of 15 % of all available funds, and dedicate at least 40 % of all available funds to protection of the environment, biodiversity and ecosystems , and shall, according to the investment and infrastructure needs specific to each Member State, support:

Committee: ENVI
Amendment 21 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4 a (new)
(4 a) A shift towards sustainable mobility is crucial to achieve the EU 2020 climate targets, given that transport accounts for 24 % of all CO2 emissions in the Union, and transport in the Union has seen its emissions increase by 34 % since 1990. Where 90 % of all travel by passenger cars in European cities is for trips shorter than 6 km, there is considerable potential for modal shift towards walking, cycling and public transport. New funding priorities are indispensable, given that the major share of transport investments provided by the Cohesion Fund has in the past been directed towards road transport, although road transport is already responsible for 72 % of all greenhouse gas emissions originating from the Union transport sector.
