Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Considers that the development of passenger and freight transport is largely dependent on the effective use of the various modes of transport, and that European transport policy should therefore be based on efficient co-modality, in which the use of the most energy-efficient and sustainable transport modes should be favoured where possible; believes that this will lead to an optimal reallocation between the different transport modes, and will provide for interoperability within and between the modes, promote more sustainable transport and logistics chains and enhance seamless traffic flows across modes and nodes;
Amendment 117 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4 a (new)
Paragraph 4 a (new)
4 a. Notes that the most efficient way of addressing the anticipated increase in freight traffic of 40 % by 2030 and 80 % by 2050 and the resultant increase in traffic volumes and the risk of congestion in and around towns and ports is to increase the distance threshold for switching from road haulage to railways or waterways;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Stresses that the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) proposed by the Commission as part of the Juncker Investment Plan for Europe should give priority to sustainable transport infrastructure projects that are in line with EU transport policy goals and deliver high societal and, economic and environmental value, and target projects that promote job creation, long-term growth and competitiveness;
Amendment 240 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10.
