Amendment 167 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 16
(16) Mark-ups added to the infrastructure charge could also provide a useful contribution to addressing problems related to significant environmental damage or congestion caused by the use of certain roads, not only within mountainous areas. The current restriction of mark-ups to such areas should therefore be removed, thereby facilitating the application of mark-ups to such areas and their allocation to projects within the core network of the trans-European transport network. In order to avoid double charging of users, mark-ups should be excluded on road sections on which a congestion charge is applied.
