Amendment 19 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital B (new)
Recital B (new)
Bb. whereas TEN-T corridors stimulate synergies through strengthened emphasis on terminals and urban nodes as well as the integration of intelligent and clean fuel transport systems, the complementarity access function of the comprehensive network is also vital;
Amendment 35 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Considers that a seamless EU infrastructure system will only deliver its benefits to the logistics sector if the Union’s agreed legislation is properly transposed into national law, avoiding additional legal requirements that hamper the free exchange of goods; calls on the Member States to refrain from introducing new barriers, and urges the Commission to bring to the Court of Justice Member States and boost the action of all other relevant actors in order to avoid that delay the implementation of EU law;
Amendment 48 #

Paragraph 4 – introductory part
Paragraph 4 – introductory part
4. Underlines that logistics plays a key role, not sufficiently recognised, in ensuring efficient and sustainable freight transport operations in the EU; calls on the Commission to presenthighlights the need to formulate a renewed EU strategy for freight logistics before the end of 2017,
Amendment 68 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5 a (new)
Paragraph 5 a (new)
5a. Welcomes the strengthened emphasis, within the core network corridor approach, to enhance the quality of transport nodes and of their last-mile connections, to identify and overcome interoperability barriers, to enhance and innovate ICT solutions and to close any other gap (physical, technical or organisational) that may hamper seamless freight logistics services;
Amendment 69 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5 b (new)
Paragraph 5 b (new)
5b.

Amendment 70 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5 c (new)
Paragraph 5 c (new)
5c. Calls upon the Commission, European Coordinators and stakeholders involved to pay equal importance to small- scale and larger TEN-T projects, to short, medium and long-term benefits that may be generated through such projects; encourages actors to boost short-term wins; highlights, in this context, the need to take due account of users' perspectives.
Amendment 106 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. Considers that an efficient EU logistics system requires further coordination beyond physical connectivity and an operational TEN-T network; calls on the Commission to appoint a TEN-T European logistics coordinator that could effectively complement, coordinate and give coherence to the ongoing work of the coordinators instrengthen the sphere of action of TEN-T European coordinators, including nominating a coordinator responsible for logistics that look beyond the geographical scope of the corridors under their respective responsibility and also cover horizontal policy issues across all corridors, such as the areas of and multimodality;
Amendment 109 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10 a (new)
Paragraph 10 a (new)
10a. Consider that a poor maintenance of the network can affect the sustainability and performance of TEN-T infrastructure; Stresses that transport infrastructure needs not only to be renovated and modernised, but also to be regularly maintained; Notes with concern that persistent lack of attention by infrastructure managers and Members States to maintenance is reducing the competitiveness of lines (speed restrictions, reliability, safety), in particular in the case of rail, leading sometimes to closure of lines; Calls the Commission, Member States together with the EIB to study new funding schemes to facilitate investments in maintenance of the network;
Amendment 118 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Urges the Commission to propose a framework for electronic information exchange and transport management in multimodal transport (e-freight) in order to facilitate a simplified, paperless, seamless, transparent and trusted information flow among businesses and authorities throughout logistic chains building on established services (such as SafeSeaNet, RFD, e-Manifest, RIS, TAF, ITS) and ensuring harmonised application of e- transport documents, anti-fraud systems and cyber-security;
Amendment 124 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12 b (new)
Paragraph 12 b (new)
12b. Calls on Member States to accept electronic transport documents in general, and to ratify and apply the e-CMR protocol without delay;
Amendment 130 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
Paragraph 13
13. Underlines the importance of digitalisation, access to data and data exchange as enablers for more efficient transport and logistics solutions, provided interoperability and equal and non- discriminatory access are ensured; calls on the Commission to facilitate the digitalisation of freight transport and calls for the continuity of the Digital Transport and Logistics Forum;
Amendment 136 #
