Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Welcomes the Commission Communication on Digitising European Industry, but regrets that, as its focus on the transport sector is limited to connected and automated driving, it does not address sufficiently all existing challenges; recalls that, although connected and automated driving is one of the most exciting digital transformations in the sector, there is potential for digitalisation in all modes of transport, and also throughout the value chain from manufacturers to passengers where results can be expected in the near future; asks the Commission to focus on digital transformations in all modes of transport, including transport and tourism related services;
Amendment 29 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Points out that the digitalisation process has not been beneficial to the same extent throughout the transport sector, which has created a detrimental fragmentation within the internal market both between different modes of transport and within the same mode; believes that developing a coordinated Industrial Digitalisation Strategy (IDS) for the EU could help overcome this fragmentation; stresses that the objective should not be just another policy paper but a real strategy reflecting innovation trends and market potential, the implementation of which would be continuously evaluated;
