Amendment 60 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16
16. Is convinced that infrastructure management and the provision of services must take place on a cross- border, non- discriminatory and transparent basis with a view to achieving efficient, interoperable and smooth-running freight transport logistics; stresses in this respect the importance of the further completion of the internal transport market for all modes of transport; welcomes in this connection the Commission proposal for the establishment of a 'maritime transport space without barriers' and supports the idea of a single transport document and 'single points of interface' for all modes of transport;

Amendment 61 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16 a (new)
16a. Stresses that an internal market in road haulage which functions effectively could help to make transport more efficient and reduce the number of unladen journeys; calls on the Commission to strictly enforce European law on international road haulage and cabotage; recognises that Member States are permitted to restrict cabotage under certain conditions, but calls on the Commission, as guardian of the Treaty, to take rigorous action against disproportionate restrictions and penalties which a number of Member States are imposing on foreign carriers in this connection;
