Amendment 75 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Considers that while the comprehensive network is mainly a responsibility of the Member States, both layers are crucial to EU logistics, bringing capillarity to the core network, feeding the corridors with traffic, and performing last- mile distribution; takes the view that secondary networks should not be left outside the European purview, including in terms of financing and regulatory measures, in particular those pertaining to access to the network, slot allocation and charges; believes that, in view of what is happening with regard to immigration in the Mediterranean basin, and given the changed socio-economic context of the EU and the effects of Brexit, it would be advisable to assess the value of including some ports and airports, initially viewed as secondary, within the main TEN-T corridors as the ‘Mediterranean corridor’, as they are key for transporting freight to and from the main hubs of North Africa;
Amendment 83 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Notes that the distribution of a large number of nodes and freight traffic in the TEN-T network follows highly populated areas and dense networks that share capacity with passenger traffic; considers it necessary to rethink how freight infrastructure should be shaped in the TEN-T, in particular in highly congested areas; calls on the Commission to reassess the methodology for establishing freight networks and to pay increased attention to alternative freight routes linking less congested nodes, terminals and port, airports and ports, with particular emphasis on those in the current secondary networks;
Amendment 92 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Regrets that too often Member States’ national infrastructure plans are decided without reference to the TEN-T objectives; urges the Commission to increase coordination between the two levels of planning and suggests adding to the European Semester a chapter on supervising its coherence with appropriate corrective measures; calls on the Commission not to prioritise Member State projects that are not in line with the TEN-T programming and to examine, together with Member States, the possibility of including in the TEN-T corridors those nodes, terminals, ports and airports which were originally defined as secondary and which now, as a result of the changed socio-economic context and the effects of Brexit, should be considered to be strategic for the EU and, therefore, eligible for funding through the European instruments, such as the EIB funds;
Amendment 143 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15
Paragraph 15
15. Underlines the need to ensure enough EU funding for the TEN-T beyond the present MFF; expects the Commission to present the CEF mid-term review in 2017, proposing streamlining of measures; insists on the ‘use it or lose it’ principle, whereby unspent CEF funds are made available for upcoming calls for proposals; suggests launching a specific call on logistics in 2017, including multimodal transport and freight solutions in urban nodes, prioritising, partly through the leverage of financing and/or co- financing, those projects that form part of the framework of integrated intermodal platforms for freight transport, and that stand out through their modern planning, looking to investments in digitisation, incorporation of European standards and energy efficiency through the use of alternative sources of energy;
