Recital 5
Recital 5
(5) The planning, development and operation of the trans-European transport network should enable sustainable forms of transport, provide for improved multimodal and interoperable transport solutions and for an enhanced intermodal integration of the entire logistic chain, thereby contributing to a smooth functioning of the internal market by creating the arteries that are necessary for smooth passenger and freight transport flows across the Union. In addition, the network should aim at strengthening economic, social and territorial cohesion by ensuring accessibility and connectivity for all regions of the Union, including a better connectivity of the outermost regions and other remote, rural, insular, peripheral, coastal and mountainous regions as well as sparsely populated areas. The development of the trans-European transport network should also enable seamless, safe and sustainable mobility of goods and persons in all their diversity, and should contribute to further economic growth and competitiveness in a global perspective, by establishing interconnections and interoperability between national transport networks in a resource-efficient and sustainable way. To this end, Member States must ensure the adoption of non- discriminatory policies that promote free movement of persons and goods.

Recital 7
(7) The trans-European transport network consists to a large extent of existing infrastructure. In order to fully achieve the objectives of the new trans- European transport network policy, uniform requirements regarding the infrastructure should be established on the one hand and, on the other, measures should be taken to support the areas remaining mostly outside the network itself, given that they are missing out badly in terms of their own social and economic development and the wider economic and production advantages offered at European level.

Recital 10
Recital 10
(10) In order to achieve a high-quality and efficient transport infrastructure across all modes, the development of the trans- European transport network should take into account the security and safety of passengers and freight movements, especially freight requiring rapid modes of transport, the contribution to climate change and the impact of climate change and of potential natural hazards and human-made disasters on infrastructure and accessibility for all transport users, especially in regions that are particularly affected by the negative impacts of climate change.

Recital 48
Recital 48
(48) Road transport in the Union accounts for three-quarters of the total inland freight transport (based on tonne- kilometres performed) and for around 90% of the total inland passenger transport (based on the total number of passenger kilometres). Given the importance of road transport and the commitment, Member States must ensure the adoption of non-discriminatory policies that promote the free movement of persons and goods. There is also a need to improve road safety in line with the milestone of the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy, there is a need to and enhance the road infrastructure from the safety point of view. In this regard, the need to involve European citizens in road safety evaluations, as already provided for in European legislation, must be reiterated.

Recital 66
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, enhance cross-border connections and improve efficiency and sustainability. TheyMember States should also seek to extend the corridors as part of a targeted cohesion policy. In this regard, approval of these strategic projects would have the advantage of facilitating links between the corridors, incorporating intermodal exchange hubs within the regions concerned. European transport corridors should contribute to cohesion through improved territorial cooperation. They should also address wider transport policy objectives and facilitate interoperability, modal integration and multimodal operations. The corridor approach should be transparent and clear and the management of such corridors should not create additional administrative burdens or costs.
