Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Takes note of the Commission’s communication entitled ‘Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy – putting European transport on track for the future’ and points out shortcomings that need to be overcome; stresses that the sector's potential to reduce its emissions, noise and air pollution and congestion is greatly dependent on investment in environmentally sustainable public transport systems, which must give rise to a paradigm shift in mobility, which is overly focused on individual transport;
