Amendment 83 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13
(13) Given the evolution of the Union infrastructure needs and the decarbonisation goals, the Conclusions of the 2020 July European Council, according to which Union expenditure should be consistent with Paris Agreement objectives and the "do no significant harm" principle, within the meaning of Article 17 of the Taxonomy Regulation17 , projects of common interest should be assessed in order to ensure that TEN-T policy is coherent with transport, environmental and climate policy objectives of the Union. Member States and other project promoters should carry out environmental assessments of plans and projects which should include the “do no significant harm” assessment based on the latest available guidance and best practice. In cases that the implementation of a project of common interest entails a significant harm to an environmental or climate objective, reasonable alternatives should be considered. __________________ 17 Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2020 on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment, and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (Text with EEA relevance) (OJ L 198, 22.6.2020, p. 13).deleted

Amendment 380 #

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.

In view of their importance, the unilateral imposition by a Member State of transit restrictions along the corridors is inadmissible. Any (temporal or sectoral) restrictions must be properly justified to the Commission and neighbouring Member States concerned, with which mandatory accompanying alternative transit solutions that are equally sustainable and efficient must also be agreed by the Member State concerned. Failing this, the Commission may penalise the Member State responsible for unjustified transit restrictions along the corridors.
