Events
The Committee on Transport and Tourism adopted the report by Barbara THALER (EPP, AT) and Dominique RIQUET (Renew Europe, FR) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council Guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network, amending Regulation (EU) 2021/1153 and Regulation (EU) No 913/2010 and repealing Regulation (EU) 1315/2013.
The committee responsible recommended that the European Parliament's position adopted at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure should amend the proposal as follows:
Objectives of the trans-European transport network
According to Members, the trans-European transport network should strengthen the social, economic and territorial cohesion of the Union and contribute to the creation of a single European transport area which is sustainable, efficient and resilient and which increases the benefits for its users and supports inclusive growth. It should demonstrate European added value by contributing to:
(a) sustainability through: (i) the contribution to the deployment of decarbonisation technologies, including through alternative fuels infrastructure, and optimisation of synergies; (ii) promotion of active modes infrastructure;
(b) efficiency through: (i) the interoperability of European, national, regional and local transport networks through common European technical and operational rules and standards, technical equipment requirements, staff certification, including such as the use of a single Union-wide language for cross-border rail transport; (ii) optimisation of the capacity of the rail network; (iii) continuous and efficient maintenance programmes ; (iv) greater coordination on infrastructure works between Member State for cross-border projects; (v) eliminating bottle-necks sections, in particular for cross-border links.
Resource-efficient, resilient network and environmental protection
The trans-European transport network should be planned, developed and operated in a resource-efficient way, complying with the applicable Union and national environmental requirements, through: (i) the development and application of common European rules for implementation of common projects especially in cross border sections; (ii) the optimisation of infrastructure integration and interconnection in order to foster multimodality ; (iii) the taking into account of possible synergies with other networks, including active modes, in particular the transEuropean energy or telecommunication networks including the whole electric grid in order to ensure consistency between the recharge infrastructure planning and the respective grid planning; (iv) synergies with the EuroVelo network or network identified in EU Military Requirements for Military Mobility.
Sustainable transport
The report advocated for unified technical and operational standards for each transport mode and stressed that intermodal transport should be primarily done by rail, inland waterways or short-sea shipping, while any initial and/or final legs can be carried out by road. This should translate into fully electrified railways in the core TEN-T network, running with at least of 160 km/h passenger and 100 km/h cargo trains , which could cross internal EU borders in less than 15 minutes by the end of 2030.
Cooperation with third countries
The report noted that the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MMF) 2028-2035, a budget envelope dedicated to “external transport” should be created in the CEF III, in order to increase cooperation with third countries in terms of cross-border projects and infrastructure deployment. That new financial envelope shall be at least 30 % of the amount of the current CEF programme and should be provided under Heading 5 (Security and Defence) and Heading 6 (Neighbourhood and the world) of the MFF.
General priorities for the European Transport Corridors
In the development of the European Transport Corridors, general priority should be given to measures that are necessary for: (i) the deployment of ICT systems on all modes on the network in order to ensure an efficient use of the infrastructure; (ii) the improvement of connections between the trans-European transport network and the infrastructure networks of neighbouring countries, as well as the improvement of trans European transport infrastructure on the territory of neighbouring countries.
Urban nodes requirements
Given the import role played by urban nodes, Members set out provisions to ensure that capacity bottlenecks and insufficient connectivity within urban nodes do not hamper multimodality along the TEN-T, while fully taking into account the divers challenges of each urban node and the principle of subsidiarity.
Lastly, Member States are called on to adopt sustainable urban mobility plans by the end of 2025 to integrate different transport modes, including cycling or active mobility, reduce congestion and improve road safety. This plan should become one of the conditions to get EU funding.
The Commission presented this amended proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on Union guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network, amending Regulation (EU) 2021/1153 and Regulation (EU) No 913/2010 and repealing Regulation (EU) 1315/2013.
As a reminder, Regulation (EU) 1315/2013 on Union guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network (TEN-T) sets out a European-wide multimodal network of railways, inland waterways and short-sea shipping routes which are linked to urban nodes, maritime and inland ports, airports and terminals across the European Union. The network provides a solid foundation towards building the arteries that are needed for smooth passenger and freight transport flows in and across Europe.
To help tackle the increasing challenges of climate change and the need for greater resilience of the Union’s transport infrastructure following the crippling effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission adopted on 14 December 2021 a legislative proposal which revises the TEN-T Regulation of 2013. However, since the adoption of the revised guidelines, the resilience of the European transport network has been put to the test yet again by the devastating impact of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. This has redefined the geopolitical landscape, bringing to the surface our vulnerability to unforeseen disruptive events beyond the Union’s borders. Its major impacts on global markets, such as global food security, has highlighted the fact that the Union’s internal market and its transport network cannot be viewed in isolation when it comes to shaping Union policy. Better connections with the EU neighbouring partner countries are more than ever needed.
CONTENT: the present amended proposal aims to introduce the following changes to the legislative proposal of 14 December 2021:
- as an immediate response to the requested action communicated in the ‘Solidarity Lanes’ Communication, an extension of four European Transport Corridors to Ukraine and Moldova is proposed, based on the indicative maps of the core network in these two countries. This regards notably an extension of the North-Sea Baltic Corridor via Lviv and Kyiv to Mariupol, the extension of the Baltic-Black-Aegean Sea Corridor to Odesa via Lviv and via Chişinău as well as an extension of the Baltic Sea-Adriatic Sea and the Rhine-Danube Corridors to Lviv;
- in view of the current geopolitical context, an orientation towards and expansion of the trans-European transport network in Russia and Belarus is no longer valid or desirable. It is therefore proposed to remove the indicative maps of the trans European transport network in Russia and Belarus from Annex IV. However, in case of a democratic transition in Belarus building and upgrading the country’s cross border connections with the EU in line with the comprehensive economic plan for a democratic Belarus would be a high priority, including through re-inclusion of the country back in the Regulation;
- improved cross-border connections to Russia and Belarus are no longer of high priority on the territory of EU Member States. Connections currently exist from Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland to these two third countries. To reflect the lesser priority in building and upgrading those ‘last-mile’ connections, it is proposed to downgrade the last miles of all cross-border connections currently on the core network to the comprehensive network for which only a later deadline of implementation of 2050 is provided for;
- lastly, several Member States have a railway network with a different nominal track gauge than the European standard nominal track gauge of 1 435 mm. The countries concerned are Ireland (1 600 mm gauge), Finland (1 524 mm gauge), Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania (1 520 mm gauge) and Portugal and Spain (1 668 mm gauge). Such differences in railway track gauge considerably restrict rail interoperability across the European Union as has been demonstrated by the current crisis in Ukraine and its problems in exporting grains by rail due to its different track gauge. It is therefore proposed, for all Member States with a land rail connection with other Member States, to include a requirement to develop all new TEN-T railway lines with a European standard nominal track gauge of 1 435 mm and also to develop a migration plan towards this European standard nominal track gauge for all existing lines of the European Transport Corridors.
PURPOSE: to revise the trans-European transport network guidelines to align them with the European Green Deal objectives and the climate targets of the EU Climate Law.
PROPOSED ACT: Regulation 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: the TEN-T is an EU-wide network of rail, inland waterways, short-sea shipping routes, and roads. It connects 424 major cities with ports, airports and railway terminals. Transport emissions represent around 25% of the EU’s total greenhouse gas emissions, and these emissions have increased over recent years. The European Green Deal therefore calls for a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from transport in order for the Union to become a climate-neutral economy by 2050, while working towards the zero-pollution ambition.
The proposed TEN-T revision seeks to build a reliable, seamless and high quality trans-European transport network which ensures sustainable connectivity throughout the European Union without physical gaps, bottlenecks or missing links by 2050. This network will contribute to the good functioning of the internal market, to the economic, social and territorial cohesion of the EU territory and to the European Green Deal objectives. It should be gradually developed in steps, with intermediate deadlines in 2030 and 2040.
CONTENT: the proposed regulation establishes revised guidelines for the development of a trans-European transport network consisting of the comprehensive network and of the core and extended core network, the two latter being established on the basis of the comprehensive network. It identifies: (a) European Transport Corridors of highest strategic importance on the basis of priority sections of the trans-European transport network; (b) projects of common interest and specifies the requirements to be complied with for the development and implementation of the infrastructure of the trans-European transport network.
The main changes made by the proposal compared to the 2013 Regulation concern the following:
- high infrastructure standards for all modes applied throughout the entire network;
- a new intermediary deadline of 2040 to advance the completion of major parts of the network ahead of the 2050 deadline that applies to the wider, comprehensive network;
- stronger synergies between infrastructure planning and the operation of transport services. Examples include higher speeds for train services across the TEN-T network ( 160 kilometres per hour for passenger services and 100 kilometres per hour for freight ), maximum waiting times at borders of 15 minutes for rail freight. Another example is guaranteed good navigation status per river basin on the inland waterways on the TEN-T network;
- requirements for the deployment, across the TEN-T network, of the charging and refuelling infrastructure needed for alternative transport fuels. This would mean sufficient charging capacity for cars, vans and trucks at 60 kilometres distance in each direction by 2025 on the core network and by 2030 for the extended core and comprehensive networks;
- providing safe and secure parking areas for commercial drivers, equipped with alternative fuels infrastructure;
- use of innovative technologies like 5G to further advance the digitalisation of transport infrastructure, further increasing efficiency, and improving the safety, security and resilience of the network;
- increased resilience of the TEN-T network to natural and human-made disasters and efficient and fast deployment of emergency and rescue services, including for persons with disabilities or reduced mobility;
- the requirement for 424 major cities on the TEN-T network to have sustainable urban mobility plans by 2025, to align their mobility developments on the TEN-T network;
- more transhipment hubs and multimodal passenger terminals in cities to facilitate multimodality, in particular for the last mile of a passenger or freight journey;
- connect large airports to rail , where possible high-speed rail;
- making it possible network-wide for lorries to be transported by trains.
Annexes
The proposal revises the annexes to contain detailed maps of the core, extended core and the comprehensive network, lists of transport and urban nodes in the scope of this Regulation as well as the definition of alignment and maps of the European Transport Corridors. It furthermore contains indicative maps for the neighbouring countries .
Budgetary implications
The administrative costs relative to the baseline have been estimated as being moderate. Expressed as present value over 2021-2050, administrative costs for the public authorities have been estimated at EUR 25.4 million (i.e. EUR 15.8 million for the European Commission and EUR 9.6 million for Member States public authorities).
In addition, the largest part of investments is estimated to originate from public funding (national public funds, EU funds) and would amount to EUR 244.2 billion relative to the baseline, expressed as present value over 2021-2050.

Amendment 42 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 (2) Transport emissions represent around 25% of the Union’s total greenhouse gas emissions, and these emissions have increased over recent years. The European Green Deal therefore calls for a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from transport in order for the Union to become a climate-neutral economy by 2050, while working towards the zero-pollution ambition14 . Delivering on the Green Deal should ensure quality job creation and social progress for all. To be socially acceptable, the climate ambition proposed in this regulation should be matched by an equivalent social ambition, in line with the European Pillar of Social Rights. The European Green Deal agenda should be an opportunity to maintain and create quality jobs, promote decent work, raise labour standards, strengthen social dialogue and collective bargaining, tackle discriminations at work, promote gender equality, and workplace democracy. _________________ 14 Commission Communication “Pathway

Proposal for a regulation Recital 62 (62) Taking stock of the experience with regard to the crisis management during the Covid-19 pandemic25 and in order to avoid traffic disruptions and contingencies in future, Member States should take into account the security and resilience of the transport infrastructure to climate change, natural hazards, human-made disasters and other disruptions affecting the functioning of the Union transport system, when planning infrastructure. The European Commission should set up a permanent and automatic 'green lane' activation mechanism along the internal borders of the trans-European transport network, calling on the Member States and regions concerned to constantly identify priority transit points that are not subject to any restrictions. To that aim, the European Transport Corridors should also include important diversionary lines which can be used in case of congestion or other problems on the principal routes. In addition, due to their multimodal nature, one mode can substitute the other in case of emergencies. _________________ 25 Communication on the implementation

Amendment 220 #
Proposal for a regulation Citation 6 f (new) (3a) Rail passenger services should become a more attractive option for longer-distance journeys and rail high- speed services have proven in many European countries their attractiveness. The European distances are particularly suitable to this mode of transport and most EU Capitals, major cities and metropolitan areas could be interconnected thanks to high speed. However, the current European network is fragmented and mainly made up of “national high-speed islands” and there is an urgent need to develop an EU High- Speed Network with a larger number of connections between all EU Capitals, major cities and metropolitan areas. This is vital to reach the objective of the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy. The advantages of high-speed rail versus other transport modes are as follows: 1. transport capacity: high-capacity transport capable of covering long distances, 2. energy consumption: extremely low energy consumption per passenger, 3. emissions: extremely low emission footprint in case of electric traction, 4. infrastructure spatial requirements: significantly lower space demand (per transported volume), 5. travel comfort: being able to provide a very high standard, 6. Safety: high-speed rail is one of the safest modes to travel.
Amendment 222 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 a (new) (3a) The freight modal shift is a crucial pillar of the Green Deal and corresponding Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy, also in maritime and inland ports this is of importance and these should increase their modal split shares towards more sustainable modes such as rail and inland waterways. However, ports are complex areas in which rail infrastructure is managed differently across Member States in terms of governing bodies. A common EU language on ‘port rail networks’ can help to allow ports to deliver on modal shift ambition.
Amendment 223 #

Amendment 335 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 38 (38) Cooperation with third countries, including neighbouring countries, is necessary in order to ensure connection and interoperability between the infrastructure networks of the Union and those countries. In view of this, where appropriate, the Union should promote projects of common interest with those countries
Amendment 336 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 38 a (new) (38a) Because of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, and the position adopted by Belarus in that conflict, cooperation between the Union and Russia and Belarus in the field of the TEN-T policy is neither appropriate nor in the interest of the Union. Hence the TEN-T network in those two third countries should be discontinued. As a consequence, improved cross-border connections to Russia and Belarus are no longer of high priority on the territory of the Member States. Connections currently exist between Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland with those two third countries. To reflect the lesser priority in building and upgrading those connections, the last-miles of all cross- border connections with Russia and Belarus currently included in the core network should be downgraded from the core to the comprehensive network for which only a later deadline of implementation of 2050 is provided for. This downgrade should not endanger the eligibility of these connections from the CEF instrument. In case of a democratic transition in Belarus building and upgrading the country’s cross border connections with the EU in line with the comprehensive economic plan for a democratic Belarus would be a high priority, including through re-inclusion of the country back in the Regulation.
Amendment 337 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 38 a (new) (38a) Calls for the development of a conceptual model for linking the Via Carpathia road corridor through Türkiye to Baku in Azerbaijan, in order to increase north-south transport accessibility in Eastern Europe and to improve connectivity and the flow of goods and services between the Baltic Sea and the Caspian Sea, thereby increasing the economic potential and enhancing the security of the region and of the EU as a whole.
Amendment 338 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 38 b (new) (38b) The new geopolitical context also showed how important seamless transport connections are within the Union’s territory and with neighbouring third countries. A different railway track gauge from the European nominal standard nominal track gauge of 1 435 mm severely hampers the interoperability of the railway networks across the Union and even impacts the competitiveness of those isolated railway networks. New railway lines should therefore be built in European standard nominal track gauge of 1 435 mm. However, Member States should have the possibility to use a different track gauge in new railway lines but only in duly justified cases. Member States with a different track gauge network should assess the migration of existing lines of the European Transport Corridors. This obligation should not apply to Ireland as its transport network, due to its insular situation, is fully detached from any land-side connection on the Union territory.
Amendment 339 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 39 (39) To achieve transformation of the transport sector into a truly multimodal system of sustainable and smart mobility services, the Union should build a high quality transport network
Amendment 340 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 39 (39) To achieve transformation of the transport sector into a truly multimodal system of sustainable and smart mobility services, the Union should build a high quality transport network with rail services meeting minimum line speed. Competitive passenger rail has a high potential for the decarbonisation of transport. There is the need to develop a coherent and interoperable European high speed rail network linking its capitals and major cities. Complementing existing high speed lines with passenger lines at a minimum line speed of 160 km/h should in return lead to network effects, a more coherent network and an increased number of passengers travelling by rail. Double-track infrastructure should be required for railway infrastructure in cross-border capacity barriers. Saturated single-track decreases the competitiveness of rail and promotes the choice of less environmentally friendly transport modes. In line with the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy it is crucial to eliminate existing bottlenecks and increase the competitiveness of rail. The completion of a high-performance network will also facilitate the development and introduction of new or different models of capacity allocation, for example interval-

Amendment 347 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 39 a (new) (39a) (39) The resilience of the European transport network has been challenged and put to test by the devastating impact of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. That aggression has redefined the geopolitical landscape, bringing to the surface the vulnerability of the Union to unforeseen disruptive events beyond the Union’s borders. Its major impacts on global markets, such as global food security, has highlighted the fact that the Union’s internal market and its transport network cannot be viewed in isolation when it comes to shaping Union policy. Better connections with the Union neighbouring partner countries are needed more than ever. In addition to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, the Union should also look at other factors that reshape our geopolitical landscape and affect the resilience of our transport network and of the Union as a whole. Investments, interests and presence of third country-owned companies in European strategic - and sometimes even military - infrastructure, such as ports, airports and container terminals, are increasing. Such increasing foreign presence in European strategic infrastructure has the potential to undermine the resilience of our Union. Therefore, especially in view of the new security situation on our continent, it is crucial that the Union adopts with priority a stringent strategic approach towards the development and revision of the trans- European transport network and prevents any third country presence that is likely to affect security or public order in the Union.
Amendment 348 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 39 a (new) (39a) Rail passenger traffic numbers, on TEN-T corridors but also at national and regional level, will need to substantially increase in order to reach the goals of the EU Green Deal. In order to achieve this, passengers should have a seamless user experience when searching, selecting and buying their railway services, including through-ticketing and its associated rights.
Amendment 349 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 39 b (new) (39b) Rail high speed services have proven in many European countries their attractiveness for longer-distance journeys, providing better service than other modes in terms of duration, convenience and comfort for travelling distances up to 1200 km, while being 15 times more energy efficient. European distances are particularly suitable to this mode of transport and most EU capitals, major cities and metropolitan areas could be interconnected thanks to high speed. This is vital to reach the objective of the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy which aims to double High Speed rail traffic by 2030 and triple by 2050. However, the current European network is fragmented and mainly made up of “national high-speed islands” and there is thus an urgent need to develop an EU High-Speed Network with a larger number of connections between all EU capitals, major cities and metropolitan areas.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 40 (40) A more sustainable, resilient and reliable rail freight network across Europe should be established to contribute to the competitiveness of combined transport. Essential in this are rail connections to ports and those should be maintained and remain accessible to users. The infrastructure for combined railway transport and of terminals should be upgraded to ensure that intermodal transport is primarily done by rail, inland waterways or short-sea shipping and that any initial and/or final legs carried out by road are as short as possible.
Amendment 353 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 40 (40) A more sustainable, resilient and reliable rail freight network across Europe should be established to contribute to the competitiveness of combined transport, effectively enabling a major decarbonisation of the sector. The infrastructure for combined railway transport and of terminals should be upgraded to ensure that intermodal transport is primarily done by rail, inland waterways or short-sea shipping and that any initial and/or final legs carried out by road are as short as possible and zero- emission.

Amendment 355 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 40 a (new) (40a) Whereas in some Member States the port rail infrastructure network as a whole is defined as a rail service facility, in other Member States this definition is not applied. The complexity of rail infrastructure and heterogeneity of its governance inside European ports makes it necessary to adapt the roll-out of rail requirements accordingly. To achieve the objective of improving the rail access route to the port, the rail requirements should be applied up to the rail handover point, where the train is being transferred from the public network to the port rail network. The port managing body should assess the need to implement the rail requirements in other parts of the port rail network.
Amendment 356 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 40 a (new) (40a) Rail port infrastructure is managed and governed differently across ports in EU Members States and this demands particular roll-out of rail requirements. To achieve the objective of improving the rail access route to the port, the rail requirements should be applied up to the rail handover point, where the train is being transferred from the public network to the port rail network. The port managing body should assess the need to implement the rail requirements in other parts of the port rail network.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 41 a (new) (41a) Because of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, and the position adopted by Belarus in that conflict, cooperation between the Union and Russia and Belarus in the field of the TEN-T policy is neither appropriate nor in the interest of the Union. Hence the TEN-T network in those two third countries should be discontinued. As a consequence, improved cross-border connections to Russia and Belarus are no longer of high priority on the territory of the Member States. Connections currently exist between Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland with those two third countries. To reflect the lesser priority in building and upgrading those connections, the last-miles of all cross- border connections with Russia and Belarus currently included in the core network should be downgraded from the core to the comprehensive network for which only a later deadline of implementation of 2050 is provided for. However, in case of a democratic transition in Belarus building and upgrading the country’s cross border connections with the EU in line with the comprehensive economic plan for a democratic Belarus would be a high priority, including through re-inclusion of the country back in the Regulation.’ The transfer of the last sections leading to the borders of Russia and Belarus from the core network to the comprehensive network must not, however, endanger the eligibility of the road and rail connections in question from the CEF instrument. The accessibility of the various regions of the member states, such as Eastern Finland, must not be unnecessarily weakened in the changed geopolitical situation.
Amendment 359 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 42 (42) ERTMS should be deployed in a continuous and synchronised manner not only on the core network, extended core network and comprehensive network, including in the urban nodes, but also on access routes to multimodal terminals. Synchronised means a coordinated approach in time and place between infrastructure roll out and the roll out of on-board units of trains. This will enable cross-border operations with ERTMS only and boost operational harmonisation and the business case of railway undertakings.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 42 a (new) (42a) In order to facilitate a profound modal shift to sustainable rail freight transport by 2030 and 2040, investments are required in coordination with all relevant stakeholders to deliver high- quality cross-border networks. Financial efforts should also be focused on the deployment of digital and telematics applications, such as ERTMS and DAC (digital automatic coupling).
Amendment 369 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 42 a (new) (42a) The extended and enhanced infrastructure requirements for transport, and rail in particular, require proportionate and sufficient investments, also beyond the multiannual financing framework of 2021-2027. Further generations of Connecting Europe Facility shall address these needs.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 42 b (new) (42b) While the European Coordinator for ERTMS in close collaboration with national entities should facilitate and promote ERTMS governance ensuring the timely and harmonised deployment, including governing funding, National Implementation Plans (NIP) planning, resourcing, market uptake, migration and transition, European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA)should ensure coherence and consistency in ERTMS deployment and funding taking into account the advice of the European Union Agency for Railways that remains the system authority for ERTMS development.
Amendment 373 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 42 b (new) (42b) Taking into account the considerable costs for the completion of the TEN-T, other sources of co-funding should be available, including Recovery and Resilience Facility, Cohesion Fund, European Regional Development Fund, Horizon Europe and European Structural, Investment Funds as well as Emissions Trading System (ETS). National Funds are key in ensuring the timely completion of TEN-T. Each Funding Programme should clearly prioritise its financing objectives.
Amendment 374 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 42 c (new) (42c) Whereas the Smart and Sustainable Mobility Strategy sets ambitious targets in terms of high speed network [doubling high-speed rail traffic volume by 2030 and tripling it by 2050], the TEN-T Regulation should focus among others on ensuring the rail high- speed connectivity between capitals and major cities of Europe.
Amendment 375 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 43 (43) As deployment of a radio-based ERTMS further contributes to the elimination of national rules affecting operation, Member States should ensure that only radio-based ERTMS will be deployed from 2025 and the entire trans- European transport network equipped with radio-based ERTMS by 2050. Space technologies should be used also for a faster and less costly deployment.

Amendment 377 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 44 (44) ERTMS deployment should be coupled with a regulatory deadline for decommissioning of class B systems trackside, thus making ERTMS the only signalling system used in Member States. Decommissioning of class B systems trackside will bring about significant maintenance savings for infrastructure managers, as deploying ERTMS and keeping additional trackside systems for a prolonged period is very costly and complicated. Class B systems should be removed in a coordinated way with a sufficient transitional period, by 2040, allowing the railway undertakings to anticipate the change and adopt the most suitable migration strategy. ERTMS, being a system, requires a synchronised deployment both trackside and on-board and full system benefits only occur when both trains and trackside are equipped. The European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA), in close cooperation with the horizontal priority coordinator and with the advice of ERA, is well placed to contribute to a consistent, synchronised and widespread implementation of ERTMS.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 44 a (new) (44a) Rail passenger services should become a more attractive option for longer-distance journeys and rail high speed services have proven in many European countries their attractiveness. While being easier to use and 15 times more energy efficient, high-speed rail services are superior in terms of duration, convenience and comfort of traveling, up to distances of 1200 km versus other modes of transport. The European distances are particularly suitable to this mode of transport and most EU Capitals, major cities and metropolitan areas could be interconnected thanks to high speed. However, the current European network is fragmented and mainly made up of “national high-speed islands” and there is an urgent need to develop a EU High- Speed Network with a larger number of connections between all EU Capitals, major cities and metropolitan areas. This is vital to reach the objective of the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy which aims to double High Speed rail traffic by 2030 and triple by 2050. The advantages of high-speed rail versus other transport modes are as follows: 1. transport capacity : high-capacity transport capable of covering long distances, 2. energy consumption : extremely low energy consumption per passenger, 3. emissions : extremely low emission footprint in case of electric traction, 4. Permanent noise pollution : significantly better parameters than road and aviation transport, 5. infrastructure spatial requirements : significantly lower space demand (per transported volume) than road transport, 6. travel comfort : being able to provide a very high standard, 7. travel time : up to 1200 km, High Speed Rail can successfully compete with air transport, 8. Safety: high-speed rail is one of the safest modes to travel.
Amendment 380 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 44 a (new) (44a) The useful life of rail equipment, including ERTMS, is around 30 years on average, ensuring a long period of return on investments, which, while slowing down the renewal of equipment, is a major financial consideration when it comes to balancing operational costs and benefits. However, frequent updates to technical interoperability specifications effectively limit the lifespan of the equipment, which cannot be predicted with any certainty by rail transport stakeholders, possibly deterring prospective investors. It is therefore necessary seek a level of regulatory stability that consistently upholds the principle of technological neutrality at least.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 45 a (new) (45a) Good navigation status should be defined by the natural characteristics of free flowing river basins and no major new interventions nor dredging works, which could have a negative impact on biodiversity, should be encouraged in order to enable navigability. Navigation should adapt to the rivers instead, and therefore vessels adapted to climate change and low water should be promoted, incentivising also the use of zero-emission technologies. Infrastructure requirements for zero emissions and full electrification at berth should be set by 2030, in accordance with the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation.
Amendment 392 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 45 a (new) (45a) Ports play a multi-faceted role in their function as hubs for transport, energy and industry. With their specialised shipyards, ports facilitate the building, conversion and retrofitting of ships. As energy hub, ports also play a strategic role in the diversification of energy supply and for securing resilient supply chains and energy security of the Union. For inclusion in the trans- European transport network, ports should therefore also be considered in terms of their importance with regard to the energy transition, geopolitical position, military mobility and added-value to the region and Union as a whole.
Amendment 393 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 45 a (new) (45a) In view of deploying more sustainable modes of transport through the expansion of EU's inland waterways network, the Commission should conduct a feasibility study in order to assess the construction and the inclusion of the Ruse-Razgrad-Shumen-Provadia-Devnya- Varna stretch to the corridor Rhine- Danube.

Amendment 415 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 46 b (new) (46b) Maritime seaports increasingly take up new responsibilities and are involved in new services, such as sustainable energy production, research on the blue economy, and military mobility. In their role as multi-service actors, maritime seaports can substantially contribute to a sustainable, digital and resilient European economy.
Amendment 416 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 47 (47) Short sea shipping can make a substantial contribution to the decarbonisation of transport by carrying more freight and passengers. The European Maritime Space should be promoted by creating or upgrading short-sea shipping routes and by developing maritime ports and their hinterland connections as to provide an efficient and sustainable integration with other modes of transport. Moreover, the new concept of the European Maritime Space brings the opportunity to regain and update for the maritime dimension the original policy approach to Motorways of the Sea, first introduced in the trans-European transport network regulation with the Decision 884/2004/EC, as sustainable short sea shipping links within the European Maritime Space intended to concentrate flows of freight on sea-based logistical routes in such a way as to improve existing maritime links or to establish new viable, regular and frequent maritime links so as to reduce road congestion in the EU territory and/or improve access to peripheral and island regions and States.

Amendment 418 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 47 (47) Short sea shipping can make a substantial contribution to the decarbonisation of transport by carrying more freight and passengers. The European Maritime Space should be promoted by creating or upgrading short-sea shipping routes and by developing maritime ports and their hinterland connections as to provide an efficient and sustainable integration with other modes of transport. Short sea shipping development in the European Union waters within the TEN-T network should not lead to social dumping.
Amendment 419 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 47 a (new) (47a) Clustering and cooperation of geographically near ports can bring aggregated operational benefits for the network and provide additional resilience. Fully merged ports with a single economic integrated plan and ports managed by the same legal entity could be recognised within the network as a single port with different facilities. The different locations of a fully merged port should in principle have an equal position and importance within the relevant corridors.
Amendment 420 #

Amendment 422 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 48 (48) Road transport in the Union accounts for three-quarters of the total inland freight transport (based on tonne- kilometres performed) and for around 90% of the total inland passenger transport (based on the total number of passenger kilometres). Given the importance of road transport and the commitment to improve road safety in line with the milestone of the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy and the Vision Zero strategy, there is a need to enhance the road infrastructure from the safety point of view, particularly for vulnerable road users, without increasing its capacity, as it generates induced demand. The introduction of Intelligent Transport Systems technologies allows for capacity management, such as dosage or slots system for freight traffic to avoid congestion.
Amendment 423 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 48 a (new) (48a) The Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy moreover sets concrete targets for modal shift from road to rail, as well as to inland waterways, for both 2030 and 2050.
Amendment 424 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 49 (49) The trans-European transport network should ensure efficient multimodality, including road transport, in order to allow
Amendment 425 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 49 (49) The trans-European transport network should ensure efficient multimodality in order to allow better and more sustainable modal choices to be made for passengers and freight, based on accurate information and comparison of the respective modes' emissions intensity, and in order to enable large volumes to be consolidated for transfers over long distances, in particular by rail. Multimodal terminals should play a key role to meet this objective. 90% of combined transport has a cross-border component. Multimodal hubs, connecting rail with other modes, should play a key role to meet this objective. Rail freight transport is on average seven times more energy efficient in terms of ton-kilometre than truck transport, in addition to being, in general, zero-emission, while the energy intensity per passenger of collective land transport modes, namely rail and bus, is far better than for private vehicles.

Amendment 429 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 50 (50) Urban nodes play an important role on the trans-European transport network as starting point or final destination ("last mile") for passengers and freight moving on the trans-European transport network and are points of transfer within or between different transport modes. All modes of transport should be treated on an equal footing. It should be ensured that capacity bottlenecks and an insufficient network connectivity within urban nodes do no longer hamper multimodality. Instead, urban nodes should primarily focus on promoting a seamless, multimodal movement of goods and passengers along the trans-European transport network.
Amendment 430 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 50 (50) Urban nodes play an important role on the trans-European transport network as starting point or final destination ("last mile") for passengers and freight moving on the trans-European transport network and are points of transfer within or between different transport modes, and to local and regional transportation. It should be ensured that capacity bottlenecks and an insufficient network connectivity within urban nodes do no longer hamper multimodality along the trans-European transport network. Member States shall also ensure that urban nodes significantly increase the modal share of sustainable transport modes within set time-frames, such as public transport, active modes and electric micro mobility.
Amendment 431 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 50 a (new) (50a) The cases of extremely long border waiting times for road freight transport cause the disruption of urban mobility systems and all types of transport. Such occurrences negatively affecting border towns and areas and has direct impact on air quality and noise pollution while deteriorating health of European citizens, increasing the risk of road accidents, damaging the infrastructure, leading to poor working conditions for heavy duty vehicles' drivers and undermining fair business conditions.
Amendment 432 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 50 a (new) (50a) Urban hubs should play a key role in improving interconnections between ports and road and rail networks through the development of an appropriately integrated and innovative system of smart logistics.
Amendment 433 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 50 a (new) (50a) A sufficient number of safe and secure parking areas for commercial vehicles should be available, via the use of a gradual approach, on the core and extended core networks by 2035 and on the comprehensive network by 2040.
Amendment 434 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 50 a (new) (50a) A sufficient number of safe and secure parking areas for commercial vehicles should be available, via the use of a gradual approach on the core, extended core, and comprehensive networks of the TEN-T.

Amendment 439 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 51 a (new) (51a) SUMPs should foster a greater uptake of public transport, through an adequate network, as well as enable and promote active mobility and electric micro mobility.
Amendment 440 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 52 (52) Member States should establish a national SUMP support programme aimed at promoting the uptake of SUMPs and improving coordination among regions, cities and towns. It should support regions and urban areas to develop high-quality SUMPs and reinforce monitoring and evaluation of the SUMP implementation through legislative measures, guidance, capacity building, assistance and possibly financial support. The Commission should extend the current list of urban nodes to include additional cities located on the TEN-T corridors and to provide more technical and financial support to help new urban nodes create and update their SUMPs; local authorities involvement in the governance of TEN-T corridors and the definition of relevant criteria to assess SUMPs should be improved through the creation of collaboration mechanisms.
Amendment 441 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 52 (52) Member States should establish a national SUMP support programme aimed at promoting the uptake of SUMPs and improving coordination among regions, cities and towns. It should support regions and urban areas to develop high-quality SUMPs and reinforce monitoring and evaluation of the SUMP implementation through legislative measures, guidance, capacity building, assistance and possibly financial support. The Commission can update the list of urban nodes in Annex II at the request of a Member State, previous agreement with the urban nodes concerned and its relevant authorities, with the aim of improving territorial balance and accelerating the transition to a more sustainable mobility. The Commission should facilitate exchanges of best practices and lessons learnt between urban nodes along the network.

Amendment 443 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 52 (52) Member States should establish a national SUMP support programme aimed at promoting the uptake of SUMPs and improving coordination among regions, cities and towns. It should support regions and urban areas to develop high-quality SUMPs and reinforce monitoring and evaluation of the SUMP implementation through legislative measures, guidance, capacity building, assistance and possibly financial support. To complement the support provided by national support programmes, the European Commission facilitates exchanges between nodes in "corridor forums".
Amendment 444 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 52 a (new) (52a) The Commission should establish an EU SUMP support programme, aimed at ensuring the quality of the national SUMP support programmes, offering guidance where needed. The Commission should also create an urban node forum for purposes of information sharing, for example of best practices, and exchanges of experiences across the urban nodes in the Union.

Amendment 446 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 54 (54) Multimodal digital mobility services help to enhance the integration of the different transport modes by combining several transport offers into one. Their further development should contribute to nudge behaviours towards the most sustainable modes, namely public transport and active modes such as walking and cycling.
Amendment 447 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 54 (54) Multimodal digital mobility services help to enhance the integration of the different transport modes by combining several transport offers into one. Their further development should contribute to nudge behaviours towards the most sustainable modes, public transport and active modes such as walking and cycling. Highlights that urban infrastructure planning should be developed in accordance with EU standards on road safety, including standards for safety of cycling and walking infrastructure and other active modes of transport(pedestrian and cycling tracks, lanes, bridges, tunnels, parking areas and fast recharging points for light means of transport batteries) to increase the shift to more sustainable modes of transport.
Amendment 448 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 55 a (new) (55a) Passenger traffic and numbers of passengers on TEN-T corridors will need to increase. Passengers should have a seamless user experience when searching, selecting and buying their railway services. In order to achieve seamless ticketing, sector-based solutions should be supported and considered as the starting point when improving multimodal ticketing.
Amendment 449 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 56 (56) Intelligent transport systems and services as well as new emerging technologies should serve as a catalyst for the deployment of intelligent transport systems and services on all roads of the trans-European transport network, including the dynamic adaptation to lower speeds when atmospheric conditions require it or for energy-saving purposes. They also are also an important tool for duly internalising the current externalities of the different transport modes, for instance by enabling accurate distance- based road charges or carbon taxes.
Amendment 450 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 57 (57) Adequate planning of the trans- European transport network is required. This also entails the implementation of specific requirements throughout the network in terms of infrastructure, ICT systems, equipment and services, including the requirements for the alternative fuel infrastructure rollout as defined in Regulation (EU) […] of the European Parliament and of the Council [on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure]23 . It is therefore necessary to ensure adequate and concerted deployment of such requirements across Europe for each transport mode and for their interconnection across the trans- European transport network and beyond, in order to obtain the benefits of the network effect and to make efficient sustainable long-range trans-European transport operations possible. In order to ensure the deployment of alternative fuels across the entire road network of the trans-European transport network in line with the targets set in Regulation (EU) […] [on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure], references to ‘core network’ in Regulation (EU) […] [on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure] should be construed as references to ‘core network’ as defined in this Regulation. References to ‘comprehensive network’ in Regulation (EU) […] [on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure] should be construed as references to ‘extended core network’ and ‘comprehensive network’ as defined in this Regulation. __________________ 23 Regulation of the European Parliament

Amendment 456 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 59 a (new) (59a) The TEN-T Core Network should remain the backbone for the deployment of LNG infrastructure, and progressively for liquefied biomethane (bio-LNG), as it covers the main traffic flows and allows cross border connectivity throughout the Union. Member States should make sure that public refuelling facilities are set up, at least along the existing TEN-T Core Network, within adequate distances taking into account the minimum range of (bio- )LNG heavy-duty motor vehicles and vessels, while developing national networks for the supply of (bio-)LNG to those vehicles and vessels.
Amendment 457 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 59 a (new) (59a) A sufficient number of hydrogen refuelling points for light and heavy-duty vehicles accessible to the public should be deployed across the trans-European transport network without delay. This aim should ensure full cross-border connectivity and allow hydrogen vehicles to circulate throughout the Union. Distance-based targets for the trans- European transport network as defined in Regulation (EU) […] [on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure] are to ensure a minimum of sufficient coverage of hydrogen refuelling points along the Union’s main road networks.
Amendment 458 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 59 a (new) (59a) It will be important to support the effective rollout in Member States of the recharging and refuelling infrastructure. This will require coordination amongst all stakeholders, including by European, national, and regional institutions, trade unions, and the industry.
Amendment 459 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 59 b (new) (59b) Sustainable alternative fuels and their infrastructure play a key role in this transition. A swift and continuous roll-out of alternative fuels infrastructure is a fundamental prerequisite to support and further boost the market uptake of sustainable vehicles, vessels and transport solutions. It is therefore crucial to enable sufficient levels of deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure and incentivise investments in sustainable technologies. The investment decisions that will be taken in the near future will be instrumental to put the transport sector on the right path in its ongoing transition and to ensure that it sufficiently contributes to reducing the Union’s GHG emissions by 55 percent by 2030 and to net-zero by 2050.
Amendment 460 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 59 b (new) (59b) In the heavy-duty road transport sector, multiple solutions will be needed to cover different market needs and transport scenarios. While electrification is one of the future applications to abate emissions in the long term, more developed renewable alternatives must be used to cover long-haulage transport needs. LNG technology is mature and the fleet running on bio-LNG is expected to significantly grow in the near future. Additionally, bio-LNG can be easily transported, stored, and directly injected into the LNG refuelling infrastructure present throughout the TEN-T network with little to no modification.
Amendment 461 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 59 b (new) (59b) An appropriate number of refuelling points including for carbon- neutral liquid and gaseous fuels for light and heavy-duty vehicles should be established or maintained across the trans-European transport network. It should be ensured that alternatively fuelled vehicles can circulate throughout the Union.
Amendment 462 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 59 c (new) (59c) In order to guarantee a full cross- border connectivity especially for light and heavy duty vehicles, Member States should ensure that a sufficient number of hydrogen refuelling points for light and heavy-duty vehicles accessible to the public is deployed across the TEN-T network as defined in Regulation (EU) […] [on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure]. A sufficient coverage of hydrogen refuelling points along the Union’s main road networks should allow hydrogen vehicles to circulate throughout the Union.
Amendment 463 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 59 c (new) (59c) As there is currently no economically viable zero-emission powertrain technology available, a variety of fuels and propulsion systems will be needed for the decarbonisation of the maritime industry. With an always growing LNG fleet in operation, LNG, and progressively bio-LNG, is likely to play a continued role in maritime transport, where LNG offers immediate local emissions improvements and GHG reductions, enabling the shipping industry to start immediately its transition to carbon neutrality.

Amendment 479 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 65 (65) In order to implement parts of the trans-European transport network of highest strategic importance within the given timescale, a corridor approach should be used as an instrument to coordinate different projects on a transnational basis and to synchronise the development of the corridor, thereby maximising network benefits. The goal of the transport corridors is to increase overall efficiency of the whole network, beyond simple gains in the main corridor axis. Therefore, investment distribution between the corridors and the rest of the network need to be balanced, with at least 15% of the funding under the Connecting Europe Facility being devoted to projects outside the main corridors.
Amendment 480 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 65 a (new) (65a) Taking into account the considerable costs for the completion of the TEN-T, other sources of co-funding must be available, including among others Recovery and Resilience Facility, Cohesion Fund, European Regional Development.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 65 b (new) (65b) Whereas the Smart and Sustainable Mobility Strategy sets ambitious targets in terms of high speed network [doubling high-speed rail traffic volume by 2030 and tripling it by 2050], the TEN-T Regulation should focus among others on ensuring the rail high- speed connectivity between capitals and major cities of Europe.
Amendment 482 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 66 (66) European Transport Corridors should help to develop the infrastructure of the trans-European transport network in such a way as to address bottlenecks, enhance cross-border connections and improve efficiency and sustainability.
Amendment 483 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 66 (66) European Transport Corridors should help to develop the infrastructure of the trans-European transport network in such a way as to address bottlenecks, enhance cross-border connections and improve efficiency and sustainability. They should contribute to cohesion through improved territorial cooperation. They should also address wider transport policy objectives and facilitate interoperability, modal integration and multimodal operations. The corridor approach should be transparent and clear and the management of such corridors should not create additional administrative burdens or costs. The European Transport Coordinators should also encourage the establishment of integrated management structures, including joint ventures, aimed at speeding the implementation of cross- border infrastructure projects.
Amendment 484 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 66 (66) European Transport Corridors should help to develop the infrastructure of the trans-European transport network in such a way as to address bottlenecks, enhance cross-border connections, in particular for rail, and improve efficiency and sustainability. They should contribute to cohesion through improved territorial cooperation. They should also address wider transport policy objectives and facilitate interoperability, modal integration and multimodal operations. The corridor approach should be transparent and clear and the management of such corridors should not create additional administrative burdens or costs.
Amendment 485 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 66 a (new) (66a) One of the main objectives of the TEN-T regulation should be to fill gaps, remove bottlenecks and technical barriers, and strengthen social, economic and territorial cohesion in the EU. The implementation of the TEN-T network creates the infrastructure conditions to make transport more sustainable and achieve climate objectives. Ten-T are the main networks on which goods and passengers are transported in the EU. The European Transport Corridors should be the network of the highest strategic importance for the development of sustainable and multimodal freight and passenger flows in Europe.
Amendment 486 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 66 b (new) (66b) There are still many gaps in between the corridors, also especially for example in the Rhine-Danube corridor. Filling the gap between the metropolitan areas of Nuremberg / Germany and Prague / Czech Republic via Amberg- Schwandorf in Germany would be the most efficient solution. This would bring enormous benefits, especially in the rail passenger and freight sector. The additional electrification via Schwandorf – Amberg could in particular alleviate the existing accessibility deficits in the central and northern Upper Palatinate.

Amendment 488 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 67 a (new) (67a) EU border regions cover 40% of the EU's territory and account for 30% of the EU's population. By connecting border regions more effectively the EU will become more integrated in a tangible way and offer citizens the possibility of enjoying sustainable cross-border mobility services. European Transport Coordinators should analyse mobility needs in EU cross-border regions and in coordination with the relevant regional and local authorities, and should establish "cross-border mobility plans". These plans should include targeted measures to improve the coordination and frequency of rail and public transport services between these regions, address missing links and bottlenecks, enhance the performance of services and the capacity of the infrastructures and improve the affordability of the cross-border services.
Amendment 489 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 67 a (new) (67a) For the purpose of this structured dialogue and in the absence of any viable logistical and modal transport alternatives, the Commission should discourage Member States from unilaterally creating cross-border barriers of any kind along the network, in particular at central hubs, in order to avoid obstructing border transit.
Amendment 490 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 67 a (new) (67a) In the context of this structured dialogue, and in the absence of viable logistical and modal alternatives, the Commission should take measures to deter Member States from engaging in unilateral cross border restrictions along the Corridors, to avoid hindering cross- border transit of persons, services or goods.

Amendment 496 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 70 a (new) (70a) Rail passenger services should become a more attractive option for longer-distance journeys and rail high speed services have proven in many European countries their attractiveness. While being easier to use and 15 times more energy efficient, high-speed rail services are superior in terms of duration, convenience and comfort of traveling, up to distances of 1200 km versus other modes of transport. The European distances are particularly suitable to this mode of transport and most EU Capitals, major cities and metropolitan areas could be interconnected thanks to high speed. However, the current European network is fragmented and mainly made up of “national high-speed islands” and there is an urgent need to develop a EU High- Speed Network with a larger number of connections between all EU Capitals, major cities and metropolitan areas. This is vital to reach the objective of the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy which aims to double High Speed rail traffic by 2030 and triple by 2050. The advantages of high-speed rail versus other transport modes are as follows: 1. transport capacity : high-capacity transport capable of covering long distances, 2. energy consumption : extremely low energy consumption per passenger, 3. emissions : extremely low emission footprint in case of electric traction, 4. Permanent noise pollution : significantly better parameters than road and aviation transport, 5. infrastructure spatial requirements :significantly lower space demand (per transported volume) than road transport,6. travel comfort : being able to provide a very high standard, 7. travel time: up to 1200 km, High Speed Rail can successfully compete with air transport,8. Safety: high-speed rail is one of the safest modes to travel.

Amendment 501 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 71 a (new) (71a) The extensive infrastructure needed for a seamless Union cross-border transport, and rail in particular, will not be achieved properly if requirements are not matched with the same ambition in terms of investments, also beyond the multiannual financing framework of 2021-2027. Connecting Europe Facility III needs to represent a magnitude leap in co-funding maintained in subsequent generations of the program in order to adequately address these needs in due time according to the deadlines within this Regulation.
Amendment 502 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 71 a (new) (71a) High-capacity or European Modular Concept vehicles should be allowed to operate on the entire TEN-T network, including between like-minded Member States. The use of such vehicle combinations can reduce the number of trucks on the road, overall fuel consumption and, thereby, CO2 emissions by up to 35%. The use of EMC vehicles promotes intermodality between road, rail, and maritime transport.

Amendment 505 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 72 a (new) (72a) The current budget of the Connecting Europe Facility 2021-2027 (CEF II) has proven insufficient given the rising needs of the transport sector and the new geopolitical context as well as the enhanced TEN-T infrastructure requirements. Furthermore, Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine has highlighted the importance to adapt parts of the TEN-T infrastructure, in particular critical infrastructure, to a dual use for civil and defence purposes. In consequence, an increase in the portion of the CEF for Transport dedicated to military mobility is needed with the aim of improving, among others, a seamless cross-border mobility of humanitarian transport. Taking into consideration all this context, the Commission and Member States should explore new funding opportunities and plan an ambitious successor programme to CEF II for the MFF post-2027, with reinforced funding.
Amendment 506 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 72 a (new) (72a) The share of the EU budget currently dedicated to transport infrastructures, including the Connecting European Facility, is insufficient to match the needs in terms of co-financing to meet the ambitious standards and deadlines of the Regulation. This miss- matching paired with the current level of inflation demands a forward-thinking approach. The Commission should, therefore, explore innovative funding options.
Amendment 507 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 72 a (new) (72a) The current budget of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF II) is insufficient to co-fund the increasingly ambitious standards and deadlines of the TEN-T network.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 74 (74) In order to update the maps and the list of ports, airports, terminals and urban nodes included in Annexes I and II to take into account possible changes resulting from the actual usage of certain elements of transport infrastructure analysed against pre-established quantitative thresholds, the power to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of amendments to Annexes I and II. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making30 . In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the
Amendment 511 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 74 a (new) (74a) The inclusion of transport nodes (ports, airports, terminals and urban nodes) in Annexes I and II entails the application of other EU legal acts. In order to provide legal certainty and to enable long-term strategic planning, it is essential to keep the network as stable as possible and avoid exclusions. Consequently, where the established quantitative thresholds within the "planning methodology for the TEN-T" are no longer met, the Commission, shall initiate a monitoring procedure before any exclusion and shall take into account qualitative indicators such as the strategic location of the nodes and their contribution to the EU strategic autonomy, and any cyclical factors which may explain the decline in infrastructure traffic.
Amendment 512 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 74 a (new) (74a) The inclusion of ports, airports, terminals and urban nodes in Annexes I and II sets the application of other EU legislations. The network should, therefore, remain as stable as possible and avoid exclusions to ensure a sufficient level of legal certainty. Therefore, where the established quantitative thresholds are no longer met, the Commission, shall take into account qualitative indicators and any cyclical factors which may explain the decline in infrastructure traffic before excluding the infrastructure from the network;
Amendment 513 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 74 a (new) (74a) The inclusion of transport nodes, such as maritime ports, in the TEN-T network determines in many cases the scope and application of other European legislation. In order to provide legal certainty and to enable long-term strategic planning, it is essential to keep the network as stable as possible. In cases where quantitative thresholds are no longer met, the node’s development plan or prognosis should be considered prior to removal from the network, as well as its geopolitical importance or role in the supply of energy.
