Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Stresses that the further implementation of the core TEN-T network must serve to boost integrated multimodal freight transport in the EU, in particular its core network corridors to be completed by 2030within the time- frames laid down, completed by 2030, will eliminate bottlenecks, improve interoperability between the various modes of transport and national, regional and local infrastructure and will deliver integrated multimodal freight transport in the EU, and also the national planning included inof the comprehensive network in line with the core network, which will have to be completed by 2050;

Amendment 71 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Considers that while the comprehensive network is mainly a responsibility of the Member States, both layers are crucial to EU logistics, bringing capillarity to the core network, feeding the corridors with traffic, and performing last- mile distribution; takes the view that secondary networks should not be left outside the European purview, including in terms of financing and regulatory measures, in particular those pertaining to access to the network, slot allocation and charges;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Notes that the distribution of a large number of nodes and freight traffic in the TEN-T network follows highly populated areas and dense networks that share capacity with passenger traffic; considers it neroughout the network, and in particular on main roads in densely and highly populated areas, when networks are saturated, competition for accessary to rethink how freight infrastructure should be shaped in the TEN-T, in particular in highly congested areasinfrastructure is detrimental to freight transport; calls on the European Commission to reassess the methodology for establishing freightsupport freight transport infrastructure with a view to improving inadequate or defective networks, and to pay increased attention to alternative freight routes linking less congested nodes, terminals and portssupport alternative routes, which will in the long term benefit the network as a whole;

Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Notes that the distribution of a large number of nodes and freight traffic in the TEN-T network follows highly populated areas in cross-border zones and dense networks that share capacity with passenger traffic; considers it necessary to rethink howimplement freight infrastructure should be shaped in the TEN-T, in particular in highly congested areas; calls on the Commission to reassess the methodology for establishing freight networks and to pay increased attention to alternative freight routes linking less congested nod, in coordination with the European coordinators, to assess progress in the implementation of the projects and to urge Member States, terminals and portso deliver;
