Recital 29 a (new)
(29 a) In order to increase the capacity and efficiency of rail transport on lines which are used by conventional freight trains, the standardisation of the minimum train length should be 750m. On the core network further extension to 1500m should be considered if economical, operational and technical feasibility allows it. Wherever an increase of the train length to 1000m can lead to productivity gains, this should be encouraged as a positive first step on the core network.

Article 47 – paragraph 1 – indent 2 a (new)
- a) Their annual volume meets the following threshold formula: (bulk tonnage port / 1 % of the total bulk tonnage of all EU seaports) + (non-bulk tonnage port / 1 % of the total non-bulk tonnage of all EU seaports) > 1. The reference amount for the total volumes is the latest available three-year average, based on the statistics published by Eurostat. Bulk cargo is understood to comprise dry and liquid cargo, including oil. b) In insular Member States or NUTS 1 regions with access to the sea, where no ports are classified according to the above formula, as a general rule, only one seaport along each continuous coastline is classified as primary node. A second port may be classified as primary node if the corresponding hinterland covers landlocked NUTS 1 regions and the cumulative transhipment volume exceeds the threshold set out in the above formula. The size and the hinterland connectivity of the ports are taken into account when considering two ports along a continuous coastline or in an insular Member State for classification as primary nodes. Ports on islands which are not themselves Member States do not qualify as primary nodes since their hinterland connections, if in the TEN-T at all, typically belong to the comprehensive network. c) Seaports along core network links crossing the sea that are not primary nodes, but are bridgeheads of corresponding ferries, are included as secondary nodes.
