10 Amendments of Jasenko SELIMOVIC related to 2015/2348(INI)

Amendment 7 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
2. Stresses that the transport sector in the EU accounts for about one-quarter of greenhouse gas emissions and that an 80% increase in freight transport activity is expected by 2050; believes that substituting fossil fuels in transport's energy supply will enhance the environmental performance of the sector; further underlines that European transport policy can deliver an important contribution to achieving the COP 21 Paris Agreement objectives and the Union's long-term climate goals;

Amendment 10 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
2. Stresses that the transport sector in the EU accounts for about one-quarter of greenhouse gas emissions, that 95% of the energy used in EU transport sector is oil derived and that an 80% increase in freight transport activity is expected by 2050;

Amendment 14 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3
3. Notes that the challenge for the EU with regard to logistics will be to reduce the environmental impact of freight transport, especially road haulage, which accounts for two-thirds of all greenhouse gas emissions, by reducing air and noise pollution and increasing efficiency in line with the COP 21 agreement; underlines that transport infrastructure shapes mobility behaviours; further notes that enhanced multimodality and efficient freight logistics will facilitate the modal shift and effectively contribute to the decarbonisation of transport;

Amendment 19 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3 a (new)
3a. Stresses the positive contribution of establishing LNG as an alternative to diesel to emission reduction in road freight transport; therefore calls for an assessment of necessary fuelling infrastructure along the TEN-T corridors; however stresses the need to avoid technological lock-in, as LNG should be considered as a transitional fuel until alternative drives such as battery electric and fuel cell drives are competitive in cost and range;

Amendment 26 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
4. Calls on the Commission to make rail freight services more competitive by means of fully interoperable and interconnected rail networks and to do the same for inland waterway, sea-river and maritime transport, enabling each to operate on equal terms, and urges it to promote multimodal transport; calls the Commission and member states to at the same time speed up and strengthen measures to reduce rail freight noise due to the adverse health effects, considering that by now nearly seven million people in the EU are exposed to rail noise levels above excess exposure threshold;

Amendment 35 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5
5. Stresses the importance of investment in last-mile logistics and more ecological logistics hubs, especially in urban areas and ports, and of efforts to simplify administrative procedures; stresses that the use of electric light-duty commercial vehicles in last mile logistics reduces CO2-emissions in general as well as local pollutant and noise emissions in particular and therefore makes a positive contribution to urban air quality; therefore stresses the need for charging infrastructure at logistics hubs;

Amendment 36 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5
5. Stresses the importance of investment in last-mile logistics and more ecological logistics hubs, especially in urban areas and ports, and of efforts to simplify administrative procedures; points out the potential of inland navigation and the maritime dimension of the TEN-T to reduce the environmental impact of the transport sector;

Amendment 45 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 6 a (new)
6a. Stresses the potential of automated driving and "platooning" (grouping divers vehicles) in road freight transport, as it allows better use of slipstream and thereby reduces emissions and increases the capacity of roads; calls for further support for research and development in that area, notably for necessary digital infrastructure and calls for a coherent legislative framework on EU level;

Amendment 50 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 7
7. Calls on the Commission to facilitate access to data concerning traffic flow along the corridors andtraffic-related data for public and private actors such as digital map and navigation service providers along the corridors, considering that these services are key to enable intermodal transport, more efficient routing and automated driving, calls on the Commission to identify further obstacles to the use of multimodal transport and to propose corresponding measures, involveing operators in this sector in the process; stresses the need for a coherent legislative approach on EU level;

Amendment 53 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 7 a (new)
7a. Points out that transport regulation is currently tied to the mode of transport and falls under the remit of different international bodies (such as IMO or ICAO); further notes that the overall review and development of the multimodal transport system is challenging because of the many actors involved;
