Events
The rapporteur had re-tabled two amendments that neither the Council nor the Commission had taken over at first reading. These established special provisions for transport through mountainous areas such as the Alps and maintained aid for combined transport irrespective of the deadlines set for the expiry of the previous regulation (Regulation (EEC) No 1107/70). While confirming his availability for an exchange of views in order to define a legal framework favourable to the operation of combined transport, Commissioner Kinnock stated that he could not accept the two amendments as they were inappropriate.
The rapporteur, Mr Tamino (Greens, I), called for the two-year extension to Regulation (EEC) No 1107/70 to be implemented as soon as possible; given the urgency of the situation he recommended that Parliament should vote against its own Amendments Nos 4 and 5. Commissioner Kinnock declared that he could accept Amendments Nos 1 and 2, as they were in keeping with the principles of the Community action. As regards Amendments 3 and 4, these were unacceptable because they contained proposals that went beyond the measures envisaged under the Regulation itself. The Commissioner also rejected Amendments Nos 5 and 6, since the reference to measures provided for under Article 4 of the current Regulation had become completely obsolete.
Pending receipt of Parliament’s opinion, the Council discussed the proposal for the continuation until 31 December 1997 of the present arrangements for temporary aid for combined transport. The period of validity of Regulation (EEC) No 1107/70 on the granting of aids for transport by rail, road and inland waterway would thus be extended by two years. The Commission considers it necessary, if proper competition between modes of transport is to be restored, to continue to authorise aid for combined transport since the unequal distribution of infrastructure charges to different modes and the inadequate allowance made for external costs operate against rail and inland waterway transport and therefore against combined transport. The discussion showed that the Council was broadly in favour of the proposal. The Permanent Representatives Committee will continue examining the proposal in the light of Parliament’s opinion with a view to the adoption of the Regulation at the earliest opportunity.
The ESC welcomed the Commission proposal and stated that the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1107/70 should not be restricted to the road/rail and road/inland shipping combinations, but should be extended to include sea transport (coastal shipping). It also drew the Commission’s attention to the possible practical difficulties of subsidising running costs on transit routes in ex-Yugoslavia and, for traffic transiting Switzerland, the importance of modernising Loetschberg tunnel and building the new Gotthard tunnel. Finally, so as to avoid any confusion it recommended using the term ‘intermodal transport’ instead of ‘mixed transport’ or ‘combined transport’.
