5. Stresses that the further implementation of the core TEN-T network must serve to boost integrated multimodal freight transport in the EU, in particular its core network corridors to be completed by 2030within the time- frames laid down, completed by 2030, will eliminate bottlenecks, improve interoperability between the various modes of transport and national, regional and local infrastructure and will deliver integrated multimodal freight transport in the EU, and also the national planning included inof the comprehensive network in line with the core network, which will have to be completed by 2050;

Amendment 81 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7.
