Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. Considers that an efficient EU logistics system requires further coordination beyond physical connectivity and an operational TEN-T network; calls on the Commission to appoint a TEN-T European logistics coordinator that could effectively complement, coordinate and give coherence to the ongoing work of the coordinators in the area of multimodality and particularly focus upon the interconnectivity between the different corridors and regional, local and urban sustainable freight transport networks;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 19
Paragraph 19
19. Welcomes the Commission’s first steps to introduce fuel standards for heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs) and CO2 limits as well as a GHG reduction target for the road freight sector on the basis of the Paris Agreements; is of the opinion that increased size of HCVs would entail a deep revision of the infrastructure and operational standards of the TEN-T network and that alternatives such as reducing ‘empty returns’ could achieve greater efficiency gains with less impact on the infrastructure;
