Proposal for a regulation
Recital 19
(19) Next to the deadlines of 2030 and 2050 that have already been introduced under Regulation (EU) 1315/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council19 , an intermediary deadline of 2040 for the compliance of the network with this Regulation should be added for the extended core network that is part of the European Transport Corridors. The same intermediary deadline should also apply for new standards on the core network that have been introduced in addition to the requirements in Regulation (EU) 1315/2013 as to allow for the necessary investments in due time. Incentives should be set to ensure the completion of the 2030, 2040 and 2050 targets. _________________ 19 Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 on Union guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network and repealing Decision No 661/2010/EU (OJ L 348, 20.12.2013, p. 1).

Amendment 60 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 23
(23) The core network has been identified on the basis of an objective planning methodology. That methodology has identified the most important urban nodes, ports and airports, as well as border crossing points. Wherever possible, tThose nodes are to be connected with multimodal links as long as they are economically viable and feasible by 2030. The methodology has ensured the interconnection of all Member States and the integration of the main islands into the core network.

Amendment 62 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 25 a (new)
(25 a) The TEN-T network should fully take into account the diversity of challenges facing EU regions including geographic or significant physical constraints, for example in outermost regions and other remote, insular, peripheral and mountainous regions or in sparsely populated areas, or for isolated or partially isolated networks. All regions should be included in the whole core network, extended core network and comprehensive network to ensure the territorial cohesion of our Union.

Amendment 63 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 26
(26) Exemptions from the infrastructure requirements applicable to the core, extended core and comprehensive network should be possible only in duly justified cases and subject to certain conditions. This should include cases where investment cannot be justified, or where there are specific geographic or significant physical constraints, for example in outermost regions and other remote, insular, peripheral and mountainous regions or in sparsely populated areas, or for isolated or partially isolated networks.

Amendment 66 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 36
(36) Projects of common interest for which Union funding is sought should be the subject of a socio-economic cost- benefit analysis based on a recognised methodology, taking into account the relevant social, economic, climate-related and environmental benefits, territorial balance and costs as well as the life-cycle approach. The analysis of climate-related and environmental costs and benefits should be based on the environmental impact assessment carried out pursuant to Directive 2011/92/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council21 . _________________ 21 Directive 2011/92/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 December 2011 on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (OJ L 26, 28.1.2012, p. 1).

Amendment 71 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 50 a (new)
(50 a) When determining urban nodes special attention should be paid to supporting functional urban areas due to their importance in triggering cooperation between local authorities and partners across administrative borders as well strengthening urban-rural linkages furthermore, special attention should be paid to traffic density in order to improve the connectivity between urban nodes and the surrounding rural/suburban areas and ensure a more balanced territorial approach.

Amendment 80 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 59
(59) A sufficient number of fast recharging points for light and heavy-duty vehicles accessible to the public should be deployed across the trans-European transport network. This aim should ensure full cross-border connectivity and allow electric vehicles to circulate throughout the Union. Distance-based targets for the trans- European transport network as defined in Regulation (EU) […] [on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure] are to ensure a minimum of sufficient coverage of electric recharging points along the Union’s main road networks including areas facing geographical and demographic challenges and outermost regions.

Amendment 85 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 66
(66) European Transport Corridors should help to develop the infrastructure of the trans-European transport network in such a way as to address bottlenecks, enhancsure cross-border connections and improve efficiency and sustainability. They should contribute to cohesion throughby improveding territorial cooperation through a bottom up approach that takes into account the needs of local communities, local and regional authorities. They should also address wider transport policy objectives and facilitate interoperability, modal integration and multimodal operations while respecting geographical approach. The corridor approach should be transparent and clear and the management of such corridors should not create additional administrative burdens or costs.
