Amendment 2 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. ConsiderNotes that energy efficiency in the various modes of transport has increased over the past few years, resulting in a substantial reduction in CO2 emissions per km; considers, however, that the relative improvements with regard to harmful emissions have been neutralised by a constant increase in demand in the transport sector, especially road transport; points out that urban congestion is responsible for 40% of CO2 emissions and 70% of remaining pollutant emissions produced by vehicles; , making it the second biggest source of NOx and PM10 emissions, which are particularly harmful to human health; points to the need to apply the most advanced emission reduction technologies not just to newly manufactured vehicles, but to all vehicles currently on the road;

Paragraph 6 a (new)
Paragraph 6 a (new)
6a. Shares the Commission’s view that completion of the internal market needs to be complemented by liberalisation of the transport sector, especially rail transport; believes that in the transport sector, as in other sectors, the rules making for genuinely free competition should be enforced fairly and common provisions applied in order to afford access to the market or at the very least guarantee reciprocity; hopes that where transport and energy policy is concerned, and in its relations with non-member countries, Europe will speak with one voice;

Paragraph 14
14. Emphasises that an efficient transport policy requires adequate funding, and that a transport fund might be created using, inter alia, existing funds in the EU budget, part of the structural and cohesion policy funds and PPPs or other financial instruments; such a fund should be used to improvhelp to finance PPPs, cofinance infrastructure, support research and promote the implementation of intelligent transport systems and should be guided by transparent award criteria which take account of environmental, social and security efficiency, ensuring that the public authority has a right of scrutiny;

17. Is convinced that the definition of a European core network within the overall TEN network should be evaluated according to criteria of sustainable development at European and also regional level, and that multimodal platforms remain an essential element of infrastructural supply, since they enable effective interconnections between different modes of transport, energy and telecommunications networks and services that intersect with the main hubs;
