Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Calls on the Member States and the Commission to prioritise investments with the greatest benefit in terms of road safety, includingabove all investments in maintaining existing infrastructure and, where necessary, in the construction of new infrastructure; takes the view that an in- depth analysis of the environmental situation is essential in order to ensure maximum infrastructure safety, especially where the impact of construction has fundamentally altered the hydrogeological stability of the land; welcomes, in this regard, the launch of the Safer Transport Platform initiative and calls on all interested parties to consider its use;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4 a (new)
Paragraph 4 a (new)
4a. Points out that the entry into force of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 has required all Member States to adopt new procedures and references, with a view to standardising material specifications for construction products, in particular with regard to road materials; notes that sensibilities continue to differ among construction operators in the various Member States, however, with regard to the suitability of products and the adoption of voluntary standards, in addition to the mandatory ones; considers it important to promote the use of innovative high-performance materials and calls on the Commission to actively monitor the use of new materials and to provide information that is easily accessible to operators;
Amendment 104 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. Notes that new personal mobility devices also raise a number of serious concerns related not only to the safety of the devices themselves, but also to their safe use in traffic; regrets that only a few Member States have introduced legislation on this issue and that the lack of harmonisation in the EU can create confusion and make it difficult for visitors to abide by local rules; calls on the Commission to consider a type approval framework for these new mobility devices and to issue guidelines for Members States on traffic rules for the use of such devices; considers it essential, in this regard, to make provision in town plans for further development of dedicated lanes and calls on the Commission to provide further support for cycling policies by comprehensively promoting combined forms of transport, such as rail and bicycle;
Amendment 107 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10 a (new)
Paragraph 10 a (new)
10a. Calls on the Commission to promote the GNSS system for the tracing of heavy goods transport through the establishment of an EU-GNSS portal and appropriate software; is of the view that a GNSS-based monitoring system is an effective tool for monitoring lorries and goods traceability in real time, on an ongoing basis; points out that such a portal would serve as a reference for the costs of carrying out roadside checks, providing greater safeguards in terms of road safety while ensuring the processing of data in real time, such as the remote weighing of lorries; points out, moreover, that the GNSS system could be a means of restoring legality, ensuring law enforcement and preventing illegal operations from the outset, as well as enabling monitoring to combat social dumping and unfair market conditions;

13a. Points out that a study by the European Transport Safety Council has found that the number of pedestrians and cyclists killed in road accidents has fallen more slowly than the number of casualties among car occupants; notes, in particular, that mortality has remained constant among the most vulnerable groups, namely children and the elderly; calls on the Commission to promote the improvement of pedestrian crossings and to foster a culture of respect for pedestrians;
