Amendment 27 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Acknowledges the actions taken in the transport sector to reduce specific emissions and stresses the need to strengthen support for research on and innovation in zero-emissions mobility solutions, in particular on advanced technologies and smart mobility, including alternative fuels, low emission vehicle technologies and sustainable infrastructure projects;
Amendment 51 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Points out that transport projects require large-scale investment and therefore, that in order to attract investors, legal certainty and stable targets are crucial; highlights how administrative procedures growing in number and complexity for the realisation of transport projects lead to increased costs and delays, hampering the EU transport network as a whole; stresses that the investments made so far must not be put at risk by shifting funding conditions and expects the SEIP to provide a realistic and future-proof support framework for investments;

Draft opinion
Paragraph 3 a (new)
Paragraph 3 a (new)
3 a. Stresses the need for intervention to support public transport networks and fleets at a local and regional level as an effective tool for the transition and towards low emission mobility, while promoting modal shift especially in metropolitan centres and connectivity in rural areas;
Amendment 62 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Stresses that to ensure sufficient investment in sustainable transport infrastructure, it is essential that all relevant EU funds (the CEF, InvestEU, the European Structural and Investment Funds, etc.) and, European Investment Bank lending and other financial tools are tailored to the specific needs of the sector and that the Member States commit to proper funding;
Amendment 76 #

Amendment 94 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 6 b (new)
Paragraph 6 b (new)
6 b. urges the Commission to provide clarity for investors by setting out the resources for each instrument of the SIEP for the entire MFF period and by establishing the EU-wide sustainability taxonomy by the end of 2020; acknowledges however that investments in transitional forms of fuels that do not significantly harm the environment (such as (bio-)liquefied natural gas) as an investment that contributes to the goal of climate-neutral mobility. This corresponds to funding for a just transition across all EU regions;
Amendment 96 #
6 c. stresses that flexible state aid rules are needed for the transition towards a climate-neutral transport and logistics sector (e.g. for green hydrogen projects), without disproportionately distorting the level playing field within Europe; urges the Commission to provide clarity on state support for sustainable transport projects;
Amendment 99 #
Draft opinion
