REPORT on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council Guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network, amending Regulation (EU) 2021/1153 and Regulation (EU) No 913/2010 and repealing Regulation (EU) 1315/2013

Recital 26 a (new)
(26a) An isolated network for the purposes of this Regulation should mean a rail network of a Member State, or a part thereof, with a track gauge different from that of the European standard nominal track gauge. Imposing certain standards and requirements of this Regulation to such networks, or parts thereof, is not justified in economic cost- benefit terms by virtue of the specificities of such networks arising from their detachment with other networks of a different track gauge.

(30) As stated in the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy, an integration of the Core Network Corridors and of the Rail Freight Corridors into ‘European Transport Corridors’ is needed to increase synergies between infrastructure planning and the operation of transport. The European Transport Corridors should become the instrument for the development of sustainable and multimodal freight and passenger transport flows in Europe and for the development of interoperable high quality infrastructure and operational performance. As such, they should also be the tool to realise the vision of creating a highly competitive rail and inland waterway network across the Union.

Recital 44 a (new)
Recital 44 a (new)
(44a) The useful life of rail equipment, including ERTMS, is around 30 years on average, ensuring a long period of return on investments, which, while slowing down the renewal of equipment, is a major financial consideration when it comes to balancing operational costs and benefits. However, frequent updates to technical interoperability specifications effectively limit the lifespan of the equipment, which cannot be predicted with any certainty by rail transport stakeholders, possibly deterring prospective investors. It is therefore necessary seek a level of regulatory stability that consistently upholds the principle of technological neutrality at least.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 44 a (new)
Recital 44 a (new)
(44a) The de-isolation of the isolated railway networks is the long term goal of the Regulation, however the migration should be done only where it is viable and in a practical way as direct connections bring new possibilities for the EU wide European gauge network and shall not lead to any further fragmentation inside isolated networks themselves and therefore shall not worsen the existing interoperability within such networks. The changes in the interoperability of the isolated railway networks shall be made in way not to harm the rail services already offered.

Recital 45
Recital 45
(45) Inland waterways in Europe are characterised by a heterogeneous hydro- morphology which hampers a coherent performance for all waterway stretches. Inland waterways, especially free flowing stretches, may be heavily impacted by climate and weather conditions. In order to ensure reliable international traffic, while respecting the hydro-morphology and applicable environmental legislation, TEN- T requirements should take into account the specific hydro-morphology of each waterway (for example free-flowing or regulated rivers) as well as the objectives of environmental and biodiversity policies. Such an approach should be considered at river basin levelcorridor level in close cooperation with Member States and infrastructure managers.

(45a) As the cross-border multimodal nodes of the trans-European transport network, inland ports support rail and inland shipping, urban mobility, the circular economy, and sustainable logistics solutions.

(77) In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Regulation, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission as regards implementing acts which specify reference water levels and minimum requirements per river basin (good navigation status)corridor, which define a single entity for the construction and management of cross- border infrastructure projects of common interest, which establish a methodology for the urban mobility data to be collected by Member States and implementing acts for each work plan of the European Transport Corridors and the two horizontal priorities as well as for the implementation of specific sections of the European Transport Corridor or for the implementation of specific transport infrastructure requirements of the European Transport Corridor or of the horizontal priorities. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council32 . __________________ 32 Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 laying down the rules and general principles concerning mechanisms for control by Member States of the Commission's exercise of implementing powers (OJ L 55, 28.2.2011, p. 13).
