Amendment 32 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Considers that a seamlessn EU infrastructure system will onlythat is seamlessly implemented and consistent with the TEN-T already adopted will deliver its benefits to the logistics sector if the Union’s agreed legislation is properly transposed into national law, avoiding additional legal requirements tha; urges the Member States to transpose legislation correctly into national law without hampering the free exchange of goods; calls on the Member States to refrain from introducing new barriersapply and abide by European legislation, and urges the Commission to bring to the Court of Justice Member States that delay the implementation of EU law;

IHighlights that the local acceptance and implementation of cross- border infrastructures projects has become increasingly vulnerable since 2015 ; is concerned about the negative impact on the logistics sector of closures of internal borders in connection with the ‘'refugee crisis’'; calls on the Member States and the Commission to take into account freight flows into accountand the implementation of cross-border infrastructure projects when adopting such measures;
Amendment 57 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4 – indent 4
Paragraph 4 – indent 4
- aimed at accelerating uptake of new technologies, particularly LNG that will strengthen the sector’s performance;
Amendment 62 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Stresses that the further implementation of the core TEN-T network must serve to boost integrated multimodal freight transport in the EU, in particular its core network corridors to be completed by 2030within the time- frames laid down, completed by 2030, will eliminate bottlenecks, improve interoperability between the various modes of transport and national, regional and local infrastructure and will deliver integrated multimodal freight transport in the EU, and also the national planning included inof the comprehensive network in line with the core network, which will have to be completed by 2050;
Amendment 91 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Regrets that too often Member States’ national infrastructure plans are decided without reference to the TEN-T objectives; urges the Commission to increase coordination between the two levels of planning and suggests adding to the European Semester a chapter on supervising its coherence with appropriate corrective measures; calls on the Commission not to prioritiseto avoid Member State projects that are not in line with the TEN-T programming; notes that a lack of harmonization, political will and cooperation between neighbouring member states may hamper cross-border projects; calls on the Commission to strictly monitor the implementation of cross-border transport projects, in particular those of common European interest ;
Amendment 122 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Urges the Commission to propose a digital framework for electronic information exchange and transport management in multimodal transport (e- freight) in order to facilitate a simplified, paperless, seamless, transparent information flow among businesses and authorities;
Amendment 127 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
Paragraph 13
13. Underlines the importance of innovation in the use of new technologies, such as digitalisation, access to data and data exchange as enablers for more efficient transport and logistics solutions, provided interoperability and equal and non- discriminatory access are ensured;
Amendment 134 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14
Paragraph 14
14. Highlights the need to further develop information and communication systems, fully deploying Galileo and related traffic management and information systems in all modes, providing access to all available financial tools to encourage private investment;
Amendment 153 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16 a (new)
Paragraph 16 a (new)
16a. Highlights that EU funding targets large projects while too little attention is paid to cross-border infrastructure and facilities, particularly railway cross- border regional links; notes the projects on the comprehensive network that have significant importance for the EU are often not eligible for (co-)funding; in this regard it is important to assess the need to bridge missing links and to identify alternative possibilities for financing those projects in future; therefore highlights that cross-border infrastructure should not be neglected by the Commission and it should be as high on the European agenda as TEN-T;
Amendment 156 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 17
Paragraph 17
17. Underlines the fact that soft measures such as interoperable rolling stock (low wagons, multi-gauge locomotives, etc.) can significantly alleviate interoperability constraints; urges, an aim that will be achieved through the application of the interoperability directive by all Member States; suggests that Shift 2Rail toshould analyse the EU market, as well as future developments, and toshould incentivise the availability of soft multi- operable infrastructure and rolling stock solutions to increase multimodal and combined transport;
Amendment 164 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 19
Paragraph 19
19. Welcomes the Commission’s first steps to introduce fuel standards for heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs) and CO2 limits; emphasizes the potential of LNG in freight transport that could contribute to the reduction of global emissions; is of the opinion that increased size of HCVs would entail a deep revision of the infrastructure and operational standards of the TEN-T network and that alternatives such as reducing ‘'empty returns’' could achieve greater efficiency gains with less impact on the infrastructure;
Amendment 172 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 20
Paragraph 20
20. Considers that further measures are needed to make road transport more efficient and environmentally friendly in the logistics chain; calls for the possibility to be introduced in the core network corridors of allowing loaded HCVs running on clean alternative fuels compliant with the highest emissions, noise, safety and social standards to circulate without restrictions 365 days a year; calls on the Commission to support incentives aimed at wider use of LNG in freight transport, especially in maritime sector; insists that the core-network corridors be provided at least with alternative filling stations, LNG refuelling points and safe truck parking areas;
Amendment 180 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 21
Paragraph 21
21. Stresses the importance of improving the provision of and access to information on EU multimodal and logistics services, in particular to SMEs, transport businesses and start-ups that have limited access to this information; calls on the Commission, in cooperation with network operators, to present a handbook on multimodal transport in the EU that includes current agreements, tools, conventions, legislation and best practices;
Amendment 196 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 22
Paragraph 22
22. Notes with concern that the logistics sector will face a shortage of workforce in the coming years and that slow adaptation of its workforce to new technologies, including digital technologies, could undermine the sector’s performance; calls on the Commission to identify training and learning needs at EU level, and working conditions, costs and barriers that discourage the workforce from entering the transport sector, and to propose as a matter of urgency measures to make it more attractive to young people and to future generations; regards this as an opportunity to increase the proportion of women and new entrants on the transport labour market, for example EU migrants;
