Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4

4. Notes that the outermost regions will be difficult to connect to Europe’s mainland via electric aviation owing to their remoteness and the limited battery capacity of the aircraft; highlights, however, the potential of electric aviation in ensuring connectivity between the outermost regions, contributing to their development and partially alleviating the negative consequences for their economy resulting from their difficult topography; stresses the need for financial, substantive and technical support for the outermost regions in order to ensure that the infrastructure necessary for fast and reliable charging of batteries, the servicing of eVTOL aircraft and the training of highly qualified technicians and operators develops at an appropriate pace;

Proposal for a directive
Recital 8

(8) The transport of indivisible loads is an important market segment linked with the strategic areas of renewable energy, civil engineering and infrastructure, oil and gas, heavy industry and power generation sectors. Despite the recognised value of the existing European Best Practice Guidelines for Abnormal Transport, adopted by experts designated by the Member States, very little progress has been made towards the simplification and harmonisation of the rules and procedures to obtain permits for the transport of indivisible loads. Without prejudice to the right of Member States to establish the necessary conditions to ensure the safe transport of indivisible loads in their territories, Member States should cooperate to harmonise, to the extent possible, those requirements to avoid the multiplication of diverging conditions serving the same purpose. Member States should also ensure that national requirements are proportionate and non- discriminatory, refraining from imposing unjustified requirements such as fluency in the national language of the Member State concerned. To reduce administrative burden for operators and to ensure efficient, fair and safe operations, it is crucial to put in place a transparent, harmonised, user-friendly system for obtaining permits that is available in the most representative EU languages and accessible via electronic means of communications.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 11

(11) The transport of indivisible loads carried out by vehicles or vehicle combinations exceeding the maximum weights or dimensions and the use of EMS, given their needs for additional safety features and for suitable infrastructure, require that special attention is given to elements such as transparency of relevant information, legal certainty and harmonisation of the permit processes. It is therefore necessary for Member States to establish a single electronic information and communication system containing all the relevant information regarding the operational and administrative conditions for the transport of indivisible loads and for the use of EMS, in a clear and easily accessible manner. This national system should also enable the operators to obtain the information and submit electronically the application, in a standardised format, ~~for~~in order to obtain special permits for the carriage of indivisible loads in the Member State concerned. Those permits should be issued in electronic format and it should be possible to carry out non-standard transport on the basis of a permit issued in electronic format.

(36) Electric vehicles are expected to play a crucial role in the decarbonisation and efficiency of the electricity system, namely through the provision of flexibility, balancing and storage services, especially through aggregation. This potential of electric vehicles to integrate with the electricity system and contribute to system efficiency and further absorption of renewable electricity should be fully exploited. Charging in relation to buildings is particularly important, since this is where electric vehicles park regularly and for long periods of time. Slow charging is economical and the installation of recharging points in private spaces can provide energy storage to the related building and integration of smart charging services and system integration services in general. However, especially in the urban areas with multi family residential buildings it is important to provide access to ecologically friendly public transport especially railway and bicycles.

(38) Pre-cabling provides the right conditions for the rapid deployment of recharging points if and where they are needed. Readily available infrastructure will decrease the costs of installation of recharging points for individual owners and ensure that electric vehicle users have access to recharging points. Establishing requirements for electromobility at Union level concerning the pre-equipping of parking spaces and the installation of recharging points is an effective way to promote electric vehicles in the near future while enabling further development at a reduced cost in the medium to long termin new and renovated building should be done only when justified in long economic perspective. Establishing requirements for electromobility at Union level concerning the pre-equipping of parking spaces and the installation of recharging points is an effective way to promote electric vehicles in the near future, however, especially in the Member States and regions where electromobility is less developed this will be very costly, and economically unreasonable. Therefore, specific exemptions and flexibility should be put in place to allow Member States with less developed electromobility market to achieve targets. Where technically feasible, Member States should ensure the accessibility of recharging points for persons with disabilities.

Recital 40

(40) Promoting green mobility is a key part of the European Green Deal and buildings can play an important role in providing the necessary infrastructure, not only for recharging of electric vehicles but also for bicycles, when justified by the real needs. A shift to soft mobility such as cycling and more effective public transport including better developed railway connections can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transport. As set out in the 2030 Climate Target Plan, increasing the modal shares of clean and efficient private and public transport, such as cycling, will drastically lower pollution from transport and bring major benefits to individual citizens and communities. The lack of bike parking spaces is a major barrier to the uptake of cycling, both in residential and non- residential buildings. Building codes can effectively support the transition to cleaner mobility by establishing requirements for a minimum number of bicycle parking spaces. However, it is definitely necessary to adjust the potential number of parking spaces to the actual needs (e.g. in the case of a large shopping center located on the outskirts of an urban center, equipped with several thousand car parking spaces, the construction and subsequent use of several thousand bicycle parking spaces are questionable).

Recital 13

(13) Given the evolution of the Union infrastructure needs and the decarbonisation goals, the Conclusions of the 2020 July European Council, according to which Union expenditure should be consistent with Paris Agreement objectives and the "do no significant harm" principle, within the meaning of Article 17 of the Taxonomy Regulation17 , projects of common interest should be assessed in order to ensure that TEN-T policy is coherent with transport, environmental and climate policy objectives of the Union. Member States and other project promoters should carry out environmental assessments of plans and projects which should include the “do no significant harm” assessment based on the latest available guidance and best practice. In cases that the implementation of a project of common interest entails a significant harm to an environmental or climate objective, reasonable alternatives should be considered. __________________ 17 Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2020 on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment, and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (Text with EEA relevance) (OJ L 198, 22.6.2020, p. 13).deleted

(10) This Regulation identifies types of investments for which expenditure may be supported by the JTF. All supported activities should be pursued in full respect of the climate and environmental priorities of the Union. The list of investments should include those that support local economies and are sustainable in the long- term, taking into account all the objectives of the Green Deal. The projects financed should contribute to a transition to a climate-neutral and circular economy. For declining sectors, such as energy production based on coal, lignite, peat and oil shale or extraction activities for these solid fossil fuels, support should be linked to the phasing out of the activity and the corresponding reduction in the employment level. As regards transforming sectors with high greenhouse gas emission levels, support should promote new activities through the deployment of new technologies, new processes or products, leading to significant emission reduction, in line with the EU 2030 climate objectives and EU climate neutrality by 205013 while maintaining and enhancing employment and avoiding environmental degradation. Particular attention should also be given to activities enhancing innovation and research in advanced and sustainable technologies, as well as in the fields of transport availability and accessibility, digitalisation and connectivity, provided that such measures help mitigate the negative side effects of a transition towards, and contribute to, a climate- neutral and circular economy. _________________ 13 As set out in “A Clean Planet for all European strategic long-term vision for a prosperous, modern, competitive and climate neutral economy”, Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the European Council, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions and the European Investment Bank - COM(2018) 773 final.

(15) While in general regular weekly rest ~~periods~~ and longer rest periods ~~can~~shall not be taken in the vehicle ~~or in a parking area, but only in suitable accommodation, which may be adjacent to a parking area, i~~, by way of derogation relevant rest periods may be taken in vehicles, provided that the vehicle is parked in certified safe and secure parking area which provides parking places for commercial vehicles and service facilities fulfilling the minimum requirements. It is of utmost importance to enable drivers to locate safe and secure parking areas that provide appropriate levels of security and appropriate facilities. The Commission has already studied how to encourage the development of high- quality parking areas, including the necessary minimum requirements. The Commission should therefore develop standards for safe and secure parking areas. Those standards should contribute to promoting high- quality parking areas. The standards may be revised in order to cater for better access to alternative fuels, in line with policies developing that infrastructure. It is also important that parking areas are being kept free from ice and snow.

Recital 2

(2) Having evaluated the effectiveness and efficiency of the implementation of the existing set of Union social rules in road transport, and in particular Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council9 , certain deficiencies were identified in the existing legal framework. Unclear and unsuitable rules on weekly rest, resting facilities, breaks in multi-manning and the absence of rules on the return of drivers to their home or to another location chosen by the driver, lead to diverging interpretations and enforcement practices in the Member States. Several Member States recently adopted unilateral measures further increasing legal uncertainty and unequal treatment of drivers and operators. _________________ 9 Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006 on the harmonisation of certain social legislation relating to road transport and amending Council Regulations (EEC) No 3821/85 and (EC) No 2135/98 and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 3820/85 (OJ L 102, 11.4.2006, p. 1).

Recital 6

(6) Drivers engaged in long-distance international transport operations spend long periods away from their home. The current requirements on the regular weekly rest unnecessarily prolong those periods. It is thus desirable to adapt the provision on the regular weekly rest in such a way that it is easier for drivers to carry out transport operations in compliance with the rules and to reach their home for a regular weekly rest, and be fully compensated for all reduced weekly rest periods. It is also necessary to provide that operators organise the work of drivers in such a way that these periods away from home are not excessively long. Drivers should be able to choose how and where they take their rest periods.

3b. Points out that past experience has shown that, owing to technical requirements, including the size and weight of refuelling installations, LNG in land transport appears viable only for larger vehicles, such as lorries and buses, whereas for passenger cars the best solution would appear to be based on LPG or CNG technologies; considers, therefore, that EU support in this regard should remain technologically neutral;

Warns of the danger that intermediation platforms, with their ‘winner takes all’ ethos, will give rise to ~~monopolies and harm the~~excessive concentration of technology and profits in a limited number of economic operators and may reduce the innovativeness of the European economy and negatively affect the number and diversity of ~~the~~ economic ~~fabric, but also~~operators in the transport services market, which in the long term may lead to price rises; notes that these platforms have brought into play the idea of challenging the existing operators and ~~have led Member States to review the structure of the market;~~ led companies operating on the basis of traditional business models to use a wider range of digital tools and offer consumers the possibility of using more convenient and safer forms of payment for services; welcomes the fact that these platforms have led Member States to review the structure of the market and look at the existing barriers to entry for SMEs operating in the transport services sector;

Proposal for a directive
Recital 26

(26) In order to allow businesses to rely on a single set of rules across the Union, it is necessary to fully harmonise the period of time during which the burden of proof for the lack of conformity is reversed in favour of the consumer. Within the first two years, in order to benefit from the presumption of lack of conformity and provided that the lack of conformity became apparent within six months of delivery of the goods, the consumer should only establish that the good is not conforming, without needing to demonstrate that the lack of conformity actually existed at the relevant time for establishing conformity. In order to increase legal certainty in relation to available remedies for lack of conformity with the contract and in order to eliminate one of the major obstacles inhibiting the Digital Single Market, a fully harmonised order in which remedies can be exercised should be provided for. In particular, the consumer should enjoy a choice between repair or replacement as a first remedy which should help in maintaining the contractual relation and mutual trust. Moreover, enabling consumers to require repair should encourage a sustainable consumption and could contribute to a greater durability of products.

(27) The consumer's choice between repair and replacement should only be limited where the option chosen would be technically difficult or economically disproportionate compared to the other option available, impossible or unlawful. For instance, it might be disproportionate to request the replacement of goods because of a minor scratch where this replacement would create significant costs while, at the same time, the scratch could easily be repaired.

(22a) Certain elements of the accessibility requirements, particularly, in relation to the provision of information, as set out in Annex I of this Directive are already covered by existing Union law in the area of transport. This includes Regulation (EC) No 1371/2007, Regulation (EU) 1300/2014 and Regulation (EU) 454/2011 as regards rail transport; Regulation 181/2011 (EU) as regards bus and coach transport; Regulation (EU) 1177/2010 as regards waterborne maritime and inland waterway transport; and Regulation (EU) 1107/2006 as regards air transport. To ensure regulatory consistency and predictability for the economic operators covered by those acts, fulfilment of the requirements on accessibility in the sectorial Union legislation should be deemed as fulfilment of the relevant requirements defined in this Directive.

(23) In some situations, common accessibility requirements related tof the built environment including transport infrastructure used by passengers would facilitate the free movement of the related services and of persons with disabilities. Therefore, this Directive enables Member States to include the built environment used in the provision of the services under the scope of this Directive~~, ensuring compliance with the accessibility requirements set in Annex X~~ where no other EU binding legislation on built environment exists. Where Member State decide to apply accessibility requirements to the built environment used in the provision of services covered by this Directive, they may adopt all or some of the accessibility requirements set out in section V of Annex I. However, Member States should not be required to amend or introduce national rules on accessibility of the built environment, if they do not decide to apply accessibility requirements provided for in this Directive related to the built environment used in the provision of the services under the scope of this Directive.
