Recital B
B. whereas the transport and logistics industry represents a driving force of the EU economy, employing around 10 million people and accounting for about 5 % of GDP, which should remain a frontrunner in generating further economic growth and job creation as well as in boosting businesses, including SMEs and start-ups;

Amendment 113 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Considers that the development of passenger and freight transport is largely dependent on the effective use of the various modes of transport, and that European transport policy should therefore bethat mobility is to be considered a holistic system of interconnected transport modes and that European transport policy should therefore aim to establish a level-playing field between the different modes of transport, based on efficient co-modality; believes that this will lead to an optimal reallocation between the different transport modes, and will provide for interoperability within and between the modes, promote more sustainable transport and logistics chains and enhance seamless traffic flows across modes and nodes;
Amendment 132 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Calls on the Commission to submit a proposal to provide for the internalisation of the external costs of all modes of freight and passenger transport, applying common principles and taking into account the specificity of each mode; calls for concrete measures to ensure a wider application of the ‘user pays’ and ‘polluter pays’ principles, and a level playing field between transport modes, including - where relevant - environmentally harmful tax subsidies;
Amendment 149 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Emphasises that the completion of the Trans-European Transport Network remains one of the preconditions for a more sustainable and efficient transport system and a more balanced distribution of freight and passengers among transport modes; stressespoints out that global competitors are making investments in rail transport a basic part of their strategies since 2014 while Europe is behind; stresses that the EU´s investment in transport should be stepped-up and that the selection of projects eligible for EU funding must focus on innovative transport solutions, the completion of missing links, the upgrading of existing infrastructure - including real- time planning and information systems - and the development of multimodal terminals, putting greater emphasis on European added value; considers that any EU funding must reflect the real investment needs for building up the core network until 2030 and that the Connecting Europe Facility instrument and other means of financing should stimulate investment in rail and inland waterways as a priority; emphasises that co-funded projects should reflect the need for infrastructure that minimises the impact on the environment, that is resilient to the possible impact of climate change and that improves the safety of users; stresses also the need for proper maintenance of the existing infrastructure;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Stresses that the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) proposed by the Commission as part of the Juncker Investment Plan for Europe should give priority to transport and logistics infrastructure projects that- particularly in industrial centres and urban agglomerations - that have a European added-value, deliver high societal and economic value, and target projects that promote job creation, long-term growth and competitiveness; underlines that the process for the selection of projects to be funded by EFSI should be transparent and that it should involve relevant stakeholders from the public and private sector;

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, giving priority to the electrification of the rail network, small vessels, 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;
Amendment 255 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Stresses that the behaviour of transport users is key to the development of a more sustainable transport system; calls for initiatives that motivate users, especially young people, to choose more sustainable means of transport (walking, cycling, public transport, car sharing), taking into account the crucial role of access to digital information with regard to journey planning; calls therefore on the Commission to identify best-practice examples for the combination of multiple modes of transport with a potential to be implemented in other urban agglomerations;
