4 Amendments of Sabine WILS related to 2009/2096(INI)
Amendment 2 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Stresses that the internalisation into transport prices of the external costs of transport (local emissions, CO2 emissions, habitat fragmentation, and health costs) in a fair, non-discriminatory way across the transport modes, graduated by level of pollution, would lead to an environmentally friendly choice of transport mode.
Amendment 5 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Draws attention to the predicted trend towards an increasing degree of urbanisation of our society, hence the increasing importance of spatial planning and attractive massand environmentally friendly local public transport systems, especially with regard to urban transport,
Amendment 19 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Recognises the fact that road transport has brought down considerably its emissions of particulate matter (PM 10), acidifying substances and ozone precursors, but is still worried about its level of nitrogen oxides and of fine particulates (Term report 20081, fig. 5.1) . Is however particularly disappointed about its CO2 emissions, which in the period from 1990 - 2006 increased by 28 %, compared to a reduction of 3 % in the other sectors. Calls for freight traffic to be gradually transferred off the roads and onto rail. Calls for road building to be halted and the rail system expanded instead;
Amendment 31 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Considers Research and Development (R&D) to be key factor in our search for a sustainable future for transport because only a radical technological switchenvironmental reconstruction can bring about the much- needed emission reductions and the transition to low carbon transport. Points out to the Commission and the Member States that a significant cost-neutral reduction in transport emissions is already technically feasible; stresses that electric cars are not the way to bring about the much-needed emissions reduction in the coming decades; stresses that the present state of the motor industry is one of endemic structural deficit and that it must adapt to meet new demands; Urges the Commission and the Member States to identify the drivers for and barriers to possible innovation resulting from R&D and to prioritise investment in environmentally friendly infrastructure.
