The European Parliament adopted by 497 votes to 78 with 52 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Directive 92/106/EEC on the establishment of common rules for certain types of combined transport of goods between Member States.
Parliament’s position adopted in first reading following the ordinary legislative procedure amended the Commission’s proposal as follows:
Purpose
The proposal for the revision of Directive 92/106/EEC aims to make combined transport competitive with road transport and has as its overall aim the establishment of a resource-efficient multimodal transport network and reduction of the negative impact of transport on air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, accidents, noise and congestion.
Scope and definitions
Parliament proposed to better define the vehicles included in the scope of the Directive, making a distinction between vehicles/load units accompanied or not by their drivers.
Each road leg shall not exceed 150 km in distance in the territory of the Union. Member States on whose territory the road leg takes place may allow the distance limit of the road segment to be exceeded for combined rail/road transport operations under clear conditions and according to criteria applicable to the whole Union. Such excess should be duly justified. Member States may reduce the 150 km length of the road leg by up to 50%.
Members specified that the road leg and/or non-road leg or the part thereof taking place out of the territory of the Union should not be considered to be part of the combined transport operation.
Evidence and digital means
Road transport will be considered as forming part of a combined transport operation covered by the Directive only if the carrier can produce information providing clear evidence that such road transport constitutes a road leg of a combined transport operation and if that information is duly transmitted to the haulier carrying the transport operation before the start of the operation. Members specified the list of information that drivers must provide during roadside checks.
In case of road side checks, evidence shall be presented within the duration of such check, and within a maximum time of 45 minutes (or within 5 working days following the check to the competent authority of the Member State concerned)
The evidence may be provided through existing transport documents such as the consignment notes provided for under existing international or national transport conventions, until a standardised form is laid down by the Commission by way of implementing acts. Member States authorities shall be required to accept electronic information related to the evidence.
Member States shall move towards a gradual dematerialisation of documentation, and shall provide for a transitional period until the use of the paper format has been fully abandoned.
Social protection for drivers
In order to ensure the social protection of drivers performing activities in another Member State, Members considered that the provisions on the secondment of drivers laid down in Directive 96/71/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and those on the implementation of those provisions laid down in Directive 2014/67/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council should apply to road legs in all types of operations.
In addition, in the event of cabotage operations, the rules on cabotage transport laid down in Regulation 1072/2009 should apply to the road legs which are part of a domestic combined transport operation.
Measures to support combined transport
Member States should prioritise investment in transhipment terminals to reduce bottlenecks and congestion areas, in particular near urban and sub-urban areas, in order to make it easier to cross natural barriers such as mountain areas, to improve cross-border connections, to reduce harmful airborne emissions and to improve access to and from industrial areas which lack such infrastructure.
Measures may relate to:
- the construction, in areas where no suitable facilities are available within the distance limit), of transport terminals or the installation of transhipment points for combined transport;
- the expansion, in areas where additional terminal capacity is needed, of existing terminals or the installation of additional transhipment points and, following an assessment of the economic impacts showing that the market would not be negatively affected and that new terminals are necessary, and provided that environmental concerns have been taken into account, the construction of new terminals for combined transport;
By 31 December 2021, Member States shall take additional measures of an economic and legislative nature , to improve the competitiveness of combined transport operations as compared to equivalent alternative road transport operations, in particular with a view to reducing the time and costs involved in transhipment operations .
Economic support measures may include, inter alia:
- the reduction of certain taxes or transport fees, grants for intermodal load units effectively transported in combined transport operations, or the partial reimbursement of transhipments cost;
- fostering the integration of connected systems and the automation of operations as well as investment in digital logistics, innovative freight handling systems information and communications technologies and intelligent transport systems;
- boosting the environmental performance, efficiency and sustainability of combined transport by encouraging the use of clean or low-emission vehicles and alternative fuels.
Measures to support combined transport operations could benefit from some flexibility to encourage the use of State aid.
Evaluation and monitoring
The Commission shall be responsible for the proper implementation of the Directive and for achieving the objective of developing combined transport EU-wide by 2030 and 2050. To that end, it shall regularly assess progress in increasing the share of combined transport in each Member State, on the basis of the information provided by the Member States, and should, if necessary, present a proposal to amend to the Directive with a view to achieving that Union-wide objective.
PURPOSE: to promote the transition from road freight to more environmentally friendly modes of transport.
PROPOSED ACT: Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council.
ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council.
BACKGROUND: reducing the negative impact of transport activities remains one of the main goals of the Union's transport policy. With the Paris Agreement on Climate Change in force, the transition to a modern and low-carbon economy will need to accelerate.
Council Directive 92/106/EEC which establishes measures to encourage the development of combined transport, is the only legislative act of the Union to directly incentivise the shift from road freight to lower emission transport modes such as inland waterways, maritime and rail.
However, since the Directive was adopted in 1992, some of these conditions, e.g. the use of paper transport documents and stamps as proof of eligibility for combined transport and the freight market environment have undergone considerable changes.
While the Directive has helped shift a considerable amount of freight away from road, shortcomings in the implementation of that Directive and the limited scope of its support measures, have significantly reduced its impact.
According to estimations, the goal of reaching 30% of road freight over 300 km shifted to other modes of transport such as rail or waterborne transport by 2030, and more than 50% by 2050, in order to optimise the performance of multimodal logistic chains, including by making greater use of more energy-efficient modes, has been slower than expected and according to the current projections, will not be reached.
In order to improve the competitiveness of combined transport compared to long-distance road freight , thereby strengthening the shift to other modes for the transport of goods, the Commission considers that a revision of the Directive is necessary in order to: (i) clarifying and extending the definition of combined transport; (ii) improving the monitoring of eligibility and enforcement conditions; (iii) increasing the effectiveness of incentives; and (iv) improving the reporting and monitoring conditions of the Directive.
IMPACT ASSESSMENT: the strategic option chosen aims to simplify the eligibility criteria, better define the enforcement conditions and broaden the economic support measures.
CONTENT: this initiative aims to support multimodality and strengthen the shift from road freight by addressing the shortcomings of the existing legislation ( Directive 92/106/EEC ) and in particular by extending its scope using a broader set of possible support measures.
In concrete terms, the proposal aims to:
review the definition of ‘combined transport’ by extending its scope to national services and by further specifying the maximum distance of the road leg as 150 km or 20 % of the total distance, irrespective of the non-road leg type (rail, inland waterways or maritime), while ensuring that flexibility is allowed due to specific geographical or operational constraints in Member States; extend the economic support measures put in place by the Member States, i.e. investment support and operational support (e.g. vehicle tax breaks) and additional support measures that Member States may adopt to complement existing ones in order to reduce the cost of a combined transport operation and to make it more competitive compared to the equivalent road-only operation; specifies which documents an operator must provide to demonstrate the existence of combined transport and receive assistance from the State. Thus, the proposal: (i) defines the condition for road transport to be considered as part of a combined transport operation; (ii) lists and details the data to be provided as evidence; (iii) states that no additional document shall be required to prove the combined transport operation; (iv) provides the conditions of presentation of the evidence, including for the purposes of a roadside check. The Commission proposes to use documents in electronic format more efficiently; introduces the obligation for Member States to report to the Commission, 18 months after the date for transposition of the Directive, data on the conditions of the combined transport market in their territory, including on the relevant infrastructure and the adopted national support measures.
DELEGATED ACTS: the proposal contains provisions empowering the Commission to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

Proposal for a directive Recital 1 (1) Transport currently accounts for around 23.2% of total greenhouse gas emissions in the EU and, in 2014, road transport was responsible for 72.8% of the greenhouse gas emissions in the EU transport sector. The negative impact of transport on air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, accidents, noise and congestion continue to pose problems to the economy, health and well-being of European citizens. Despite the fact that road transport is the main contributor of those negative effects, road freight transport is estimated to grow by 60

Proposal for a directive Recital 1 (1) The negative impact of transport on air pollution, including emissions of fine particulate matter, greenhouse gas emissions, accidents, noise and congestion continue to pose problems to the economy, health and well-being of European citizens. Despite the fact that road transport is the main contributor of those negative effects, road freight transport is estimated to grow by 60 per cent by 2050.

Despite the fact that road transport is the main contributor of those negative effects, road freight transport is estimated to grow by 60 per cent by 2050.
Amendment 44 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 1 a (new) (1a) Increased road transport is a negative side-effect of globalisation, which tends to centralise manufacturing and production.
Amendment 45 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 1 b (new) (1b) The proposed new major trade deals (Mercosur, TTIP, CETA etc.), if agreed and implemented, will inevitably result in a considerable increase in heavy- truck road-traffic.
Amendment 46 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 2 (2) Reducing the negative impact of transport activities remains one of the main goals of the Union's transport policy. Council Directive 92/106/EEC21 which establishes measures to encourage the development of combined transport, is the only legislative act of the Union to directly incentivise the shift from road freight to lower emission transport modes such as inland waterways, maritime and rail. In order to further reduce the negative externalities of road freight, research into, and the sharing of best practices between Member States on solutions to better routing, network optimization, increases in load efficiency and the possibilities for the charging of external costs should be encouraged. _________________ 21 Council Directive 92/106/EEC of 7 December 1992 on the establishment of common rules for certain types of combined transport of goods between Member States (OJ L 368, 17.12.1992, p.38).

Proposal for a directive Recital 3 (3) The goal of reaching 30% of road freight over 300 km shifted to other modes of transport such as rail or waterborne transport by 2030, and more than 50% by 2050, in order to optimise the performance of multimodal logistic chains, including by making greater use of more energy- efficient modes, has been slower than expected and according to the current projections, will not be reached. Therefore, incentives to shift to zero- and low- emission road freight modes will be needed.
Amendment 50 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 4 (4) Directive 92/106/EEC has contributed to the development of the Union's policy on combined transport and in some Member States has helped shift a considerable amount of freight away from road. Shortcomings in the implementation of that Directive, notably ambiguous language and outdated provisions, and the limited scope of its support measures, have significantly reduced its impact.
Amendment 51 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 4 a (new) (4a) This Directive should pave the way for efficient intermodal and multimodal freight services offering a level playing field for modes of transport.
Amendment 52 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 5 (5) Directive 92/106/EEC should be simplified and its implementation improved by reviewing the economic incentives to combined transport, with the aim of encouraging the shift of goods from road transport to modes which are more environmentally friendly, safer, more energy efficient and cause less congestion. In view of this, research on, and the sharing of, best practices on the shift from road to rail should be encouraged.

Amendment 56 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 6 (6) The volume of national intermodal operations constitutes 19,3% of the total intermodal transport in the Union. Such operations currently do not benefit from the support measures provided by Directive 92/106/EEC because of the limited scope of the definition of combined transport. However, the negative effect of national road transport operations, and notably greenhouse gas emissions and congestion,
Amendment 57 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 6 (6) The volume of national intermodal operations constitutes 19,3% of the total intermodal transport in the Union. Such operations currently do not benefit from the support measures provided by Directive 92/106/EEC because of the limited scope of the definition of combined transport. However, the negative effect of national road transport operations, and notably greenhouse gas emissions, fine particulate matter and congestion, have an impact beyond the national borders. Therefore it is necessary to broaden the scope of Directive 92/106/EEC to national (intra-Member State) combined transport operations in order to support the further development of combined transport in the Union, hence an increase in the modal shift from road to rail, inland waterways and short sea shipping.
Amendment 58 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 8 (8) The current definition of combined transport includes different distance limits for the road legs of a combined transport operation, according to the mode of the non-road leg, and, for rail, the absence of a fixed distance limit but instead takes account of the notion of “nearest suitable terminal” to provide some flexibility to take account of specific situations. That definition has raised many difficulties in its implementation due to various interpretations and specific difficulties to establish the conditions for implementation. It would be useful to lift those ambiguities while also ensuring that some measure of flexibility is retained. Removing these ambiguities must not, however, undermine the objective of simplifying the regulatory framework.

Amendment 62 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 11 (11) The outdated usage of stamps in proving that a combined transport operation has occurred prevent the effective enforcement or the verification of eligibility for the measures provided for in Directive 92/106/EEC. The evidence necessary to prove that a combined transport operation is taking place should be clarified as well as the means by which such evidence is provided. The use and transmission of electronic transport information, which should simplify the provision of relevant evidence and its treatment by the relevant authorities, should be encouraged, provided that the information is appropriately secured. The format used should be reliable and authentic. The regulatory framework and initiatives simplifying administrative procedures and the digitalisation of transport aspects, should take into consideration developments at Union level.

Amendment 64 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 13 (13) The main infrastructure bottleneck hampering the shift from road freight to other modes of transport is at the transhipment terminal level. The current distribution and coverage of transhipment terminals in the Union, at least along the existing TEN-T Core and Comprehensive network, is insufficient yet the capacity of existing transhipment terminals is reaching its limit and will need to develop in order to cope with overall freight traffic growth. Investing in transhipment terminal capacity may reduce overall transhipment costs, and hence produce a derived modal shift, as demonstrated in some Member States. Member States should therefore ensure, in coordination with the neighbouring Member States and with the Commission, that more combined transport transhipment terminals and transhipment capacity are constructed or made available to transport operators in areas where they are needed. This would incentivise the use of freight transport alternatives and increase modal shift, thus making combined transport operations more competitive than

Amendment 68 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 14 (14) Member States should implement additional economic support measures in addition to the existing ones, targeting the various legs of a combined transport operation, in order to reduce the road freight and to encourage the use of other modes of transport such as rail, inland waterways and maritime transport, thereby reducing air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, road traffic accidents, noise and congestion. Such measures should apply mainly to sensitive areas, such as the Alps valleys or mountainous regions, as well as to large urban-industrial nodes. They may include the reduction of certain taxes or transport fees, grants for intermodal load units effectively

Amendment 52 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 2 2) Reducing the negative impact of transport activities remains one of the main goals of the Union's transport policy. Council Directive 92/106/EEC21 which establishes measures to encourage the development of combined transport, is the only legislative act of the Union to directly incentivise the shift from road freight to lower emission transport modes such as inland waterways, maritime and rail. That Directive has not had the desired effect, because of social dumping in the road transport sector, which has given it a considerable competitive advantage. _________________ 21 Council Directive 92/106/EEC of 7 December 1992 on the establishment of common rules for certain types of combined transport of goods between Member States (OJ L 368, 17.12.1992, p.38).
