Recital E a (new)
Ea. whereas air pollution causes premature death and whereas, in the EU- 28 for example, particulate matter is estimated to cause 399 000 premature deaths a year, the figure for nitrogen oxides being 75 000 and for ozone, 13 600;
Amendment 17 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2 b (new)
Paragraph 2 b (new)
2b. Considers it important that new transport services such as ride-sharing and MaaS (mobility as a service) should be treated, for instance for the purposes of road charging systems, as modes of travel that are at least as good as, if not preferable to, private motoring and that their deployment should not be slowed down by legislative obstacles;
Amendment 19 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2 c (new)
Paragraph 2 c (new)
2c. Maintains that the development both of connected and automated transport systems and of interactive intelligent systems is wholly beneficial to transport decarbonisation aims in the same way as to transport and environmental safety;
Amendment 20 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2 d (new)
Paragraph 2 d (new)
2d. Points to the importance of guiding mobility; considers it important that people be encouraged to adopt sustainable mobility habits through economic incentives as well as by raising awareness of the environmental impacts of individual modes of transport and by coordinating and developing low-carbon transport services such as public transport;
Amendment 21 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2 e (new)
Paragraph 2 e (new)
2e. Considers it important to improve the infrastructure for alternative zero- emission forms of mobility in urban environments; points to the need to fund projects to facilitate local and regional low-carbon mobility, for example city bike schemes;
Amendment 26 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Highlights that for this purpose it will be necessary to increase the use of electro-mobility and alternative fuels, as road transport is responsible for one fifth of EU emissions, and this figure is increasing; underlines the need to reduce the gap between stated decarbonisation targets and real on-road emissions; considers the WLTP emission test procedure to be a step in the right direction regarding the measurement of passenger car fuel consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions;
Amendment 52 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. UExpresses its disquiet at the fact that air pollution causes premature death and that, in the EU-28 for example, particulate matter is estimated to cause 399 000 premature deaths a year, the figure for nitrogen oxides being 75 000 and for ozone, 13 600; underlines that, according to WHO figures, road transport contributes to air and noise pollution, with a negative impact on citizens’ health, especially in urban areas; encourages the implementation of an effective strategy to reduce the level of pollutants such as NOx, NO2 and particulate matter; considers it important, in order to determine actual emissions from transport, to conduct compliance checks while vehicles are in use and to carry out proper market surveillance;
Amendment 58 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9
Paragraph 9
9. Recalls that innovative transport technologies and mobility solutions will be needed to enhance road safety and limit carbon dioxide emissions, air pollution, and congestion, and that a European regulatory framework which stimulates innovation is needed; calls, in this context, for more interlinked research and development regarding connected and automated cars, electrification, alternative fuels, vehicle design and manufacturing, network and traffic management, as well as smart mobility services and infrastructure;
Amendment 67 #

Paragraph 6 a (new)
Paragraph 6 a (new)
6a. Points to the importance of funding in transport infrastructure projects to help achieve climate goals and to the importance of cross-border cooperation among Member States; believes, as regards EU funding for transport, that fitness for the purpose of achieving climate goals should be one of the eligibility criteria for projects;
