Paragraph 9
9. Calls therefore for an increase inthe retention of the overall funds available for TEN-T through earmarking cohesion funding for transport projects (currently 23.7% of cohesion resources) and the dedication of an amount within this for the core TEN-T network, thus increasing EU added value, and for TEN-T funding to be made conditional upon the concentration of national funding on the TEN-T core network;
Amendment 38 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 13
Paragraph 13
13. Insists that Galileo is a project of major strategic importance for the European Union, especially in view of the commitment to invest in similar systems from national military budgets shown by other economies, such as China, India and Russia, and that a scenario where European business is unable to benefit from the multiple economic, environmental, innovative, research and employment opportunities offered by Europe having its own satellite navigation system is not desirable; considers moreover that, should a service be reduced or switched off, the potential disruption to business, banking, transport, aviation, communication etc., to name but a few, would be very costly (e.g. in terms of revenues for business, road safety etc.) and could entail many problems; recalls that the budgetary authority recognised this when it increased the ceilings for Heading 1A within the current Financial Perspective to accommodate continued investment in the Galileo programme;
Amendment 45 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 16
Paragraph 16
16. Recalls the importance of tourism to the European economy, to the European natural and cultural heritage and to particular countries and regions where it is an economic and social mainstay; draws attention to the significance of the new provision on tourism that is now included in the Lisbon Treaty, giving Parliament legislative powers in the field of tourism for the first time; reiterates its concern that no budget line to assist in the development of tourism has been established to reflect this new challenge and insists that in future adequate levels of EU support for tourism must be provided through the establishment of a dedicated budget line for sustainable economic development, industrial heritage, protection of the natural and cultural heritage, aided where appropriate by the Structural Funds and other funds; also stresses, however, that tourism can have a negative impact on the environment and therefore calls for resources to be allocated in the first instance to projects dedicated to sustainable, environmentally friendly tourism.
