Amendment 81 #
Motion for a resolution
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 reduction target); stresses that the mid-term review should maintain at least the level of ambition of the goals set in 2011 and propose concrete and immediate measures and initiatives to increase, speed up 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;

Committee: TRAN
Amendment 112 #
Motion for a resolution
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 be based on the shift towards the most energy-efficient and sustainable transport modes completed by 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 133 #
Motion for a resolution
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; calls on the Commission to issue recommendations on the abolishment of environmentally harmful tax subsidies, for example on company cars, and on the introduction of fiscal incentives for sustainable modes of transport;

Amendment 178 #
Motion for a resolution
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 infrastructure projects thatprojects that are in line with the European transport policy goals and deliver high societal and economic value, and target projects that promote job creation, long-term growth and competitiveness; the set-up of EFSI shall not have the effect to shift financial resources from more environmental- friendly and sustainable modes of transport to less sustainable modes;

Amendment 212 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8 b (new)
8b. Stresses that improving energy efficiency should be one of the top priorities of the European transport policy; states that there is an acute need to improve the resource efficiency of the transport system as a whole, aiming at more efficient use of existing capacity, improving the utilisation rate of vehicles and ensuring that public financing is allocated at national and EU levels to measures with the highest impact;

Amendment 354 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 17 a (new)
17a. Recognises that digitalisation is an influential way to improve the terribly low productivity of the transport system; states therefore that digital intervention, new services, and new business and distribution models should be allowed by easing the market access and true competition and ensuring a level playing field (e.g. in terms of taxation) between different transport modes and services, yet without compromising the high European standards of safety, working conditions, consumers´ protection and prevention of harmful environmental effects;
