Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.2 – paragraph 4
Business-as-usual is therefore not an option. Research and innovation, driven by policy objectives and focused on the key challenges, shall contribute substantially to achieve the Union's targets of limiting global temperature increase to 2ºC, cutting 60 % of CO2 emissions from transport, drastically reduce congestion and accident costs, and virtually. In order to achieve these objectives by 2050, it is necessary to formulate more specific and concrete provisions for the period up to 2020. First and foremost this requires ambitious cuts in CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions from transport (from 2009 levels).These emission cuts will be determined according to each transport mode with a view to achieving the 20-20-20 targets. Research and innovation must also result in the internalisation of external costs by 2020, drastically reduce congestion and accident costs, and seek with determination to resolve road safety problems with a view to eradicating European road deaths by 2050.
Amendment 75 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.2 – paragraph 8
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.2 – paragraph 8
Investing in research and innovation for a greener, smarter and more integrated transport system will make an important contribution to the Europe 2020 goals of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth and the objectives of the Innovation Union flagship initiative. The activities will support the implementation of the White Paper on Transport aiming at a Single European Transport Area. They will also contribuparticipate toin the policy goals outlined in the flagship initiatives on 'Resource Efficient Europe', 'An Industrial Policy for the Globalisation Era' and 'A Digital Agenda for Europe'. Measures will also be taken to ensure cohesion with other parts of these programmes, in particular through the setting up of a Knowledge and Innovation Community for urban mobility and smart cities.
Amendment 78 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.3 – point a – paragraph 1
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.3 – point a – paragraph 1
The aim is to minimise transport's impact on climate and the environment and also on public health by improving its efficiency in the use of natural resources, and by reducing its dependence on fossil fuels and diversifying energy sources.

Proposal for a regulation
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.3 – point a – paragraph 2 a (new)
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.3 – point a – paragraph 2 a (new)
Finally, it has been proven over many years that motor vehicle emissions have an impact on public health. Consequently, reducing particulate emissions must continue to be one of the European Union’s priority objectives in the field of transport. To this end, it is essential to pursue this policy, focusing in particular on the development of alternative fuels. It is also essential to invest in innovative solutions to reduce noise pollution and vibrations. The development of alternative fuels and innovatory solutions to cut noise pollution and vibrations will help limit harmful emissions and improve the well- being of the community.
Amendment 97 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.3 – point c – paragraph 2
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.3 – point c – paragraph 2
The focus of activities shall be to develop the nextw generation of innovative transport means and to prepare the ground for the following one, by working on novel concepts and designs,work on novel concepts and designs, with a view to developing the following one. It will also be necessary to develop smart control systems and, interoperable standards, efficient production processes,smart intermodal infrastructures and efficient production and recycling processes and achieve shorter development times and reduced lifecycle costs.
