Amendment 46 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 2
(2) Reducing the negative impact of transport activities remains one of the main goals of the Union's transport policy. Council Directive 92/106/EEC21 which establishes measures to encourage the development of combined transport, is the only legislative act of the Union to directly incentivise the shift from road freight to lower emission transport modes such as inland waterways, maritime and rail. In order to further reduce the negative externalities of road freight, research into, and the sharing of best practices between Member States on solutions to better routing, network optimization, increases in load efficiency and the possibilities for the charging of external costs should be encouraged. _________________ 21 Council Directive 92/106/EEC of 7 December 1992 on the establishment of common rules for certain types of combined transport of goods between Member States (OJ L 368, 17.12.1992, p.38).

Amendment 52 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 5
(5) Directive 92/106/EEC should be simplified and its implementation improved by reviewing the economic incentives to combined transport, with the aim of encouraging the shift of goods from road transport to modes which are more environmentally friendly, safer, more energy efficient and cause less congestion. In view of this, research on, and the sharing of, best practices on the shift from road to rail should be encouraged.

Amendment 70 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 14
(14) Member States should implement additional economic support measures in addition to the existing ones, targeting the various legs of a combined transport operation, in order to reduce the road freight and to encourage the use of other modes of transport such as rail, inland waterways and maritime transport, thereby reducing air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, road traffic accidents, noise and congestion. Such measures should aim to incentivise zero- and low-emission modes of transport and may include the reduction of certain taxes or transport fees, grants for intermodal load units effectively transported in combined transport operations, or the partial reimbursement of transhipments cost.
