Amendment 5 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Notes that an integrated approach to infrastructure planning, project financing and development can play a central role in developing a competitive and sustainable transport sector; stresses that the regions and local authorities should already take on responsibility in a preventive role by ensuring at the planning stage (residential areas/work/leisure facilities) that sensible structures are created that will minimise, or at least reduce, the volume of traffic (especially cars) from the outset; stresses that local and regional authorities often cannot meet transport challenges without co-operation, calling therefore for their and the stakeholders’ active involvement in the policy development and implementation process;
Amendment 33 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Notes that rail liberalisation is linked with the challenge of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector as a whole and promoting regional development; notes however, that liberalisation should not have the unintended consequence of making rail transport less competitive vis-a-vis road transport and that due regard must be given to ensuring that peripheral regions do not lose rail connectivity; stresses also the need for improved consumer protection in rail transport, in particular to ensure the provision of sufficient consumer information about legal redress and compensation in the event of long delays on train journeys;
Amendment 35 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 7

7. Stresses in general terms the central role of multimodal transport, and especially of shipping as an environmentally friendly and sustainable form of transport; stresses specifically the importance of short-sea shipping as a sustainable mode of transport which can also improve the connectivity and development of peripheral and outermost regions;
