Recital D a (new)
Recital D a (new)
Da. whereas transport is an important building block in the EU energy-climate policy, and whereas EU target minimum share for renewable energy and targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions cannot be reached without a significant contribution from transport;
Amendment 29 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital D b (new)
Recital D b (new)
Db. whereas transport currently accounts for 32% of EU’s total energy consumption and transport emissions are responsible, according to the EEA report "‘Approximated EU greenhouse gas inventory 2016", for 27% of total EU greenhouse gas emissions, representing an important environmental concern in terms of air pollution; whereas, furthermore, its energy demand relies almost entirely on (imported) oil, leading to energy dependency and vulnerability to price fluctuation;
Amendment 41 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1 a (new)
Paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. Reiterates the urgent need for an actual sustainability of transport throughout the EU; in this regard, notes with concern that, if the transition to low- emission alternative energy in transport has begun, greenhouse gas emissions in transport did not show the same decline as in other sectors, also because of lack of strong incentives to innovate in energies and technologies needed for the long-term decarbonisation and energy diversification of transport;
Amendment 100 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Calls for ERDF support to European Territorial Cooperation to be strengthened through additional resources, and for the establishment of a dedicated priority axis for transport infrastructure investments; understands that the focus should be on connectivity in cross-border regions, as well as advisory assistance and capacity building at project level; calls for barriers to be dismantled in order to facilitate investments, and notably cross- border investments, in transport, always taking into consideration environmental and health issues related to the specific building site(s);
Amendment 120 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8 a (new)
Paragraph 8 a (new)
8a. Stresses the importance of improving transport connectivity assessing first and foremost, however, whether existing networks can be renovated and/or expanded; calls on the European institutions and the Member States not to endorse infrastructure projects that contribute to the impoverishment of the Union’s natural capital and to the deterioration of air quality, do not meet the needs expressed by citizens and by local communities, are not sustainable from an economic and financial point of view and increase the uncertainty surrounding the achievement of the objectives of the 7th Environmental Action Programme;
Amendment 123 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8 b (new)
Paragraph 8 b (new)
8b. Urges national, regional and local authorities to choose and implement projects, in the framework of relevant Operational programmes, based on mobility and transport plans that take into duly account environmental sustainability and economic and financial rationality and that thus aim to actually fulfil the Thematic Objective n.7; calls, in this regard, on cities and regions to encourage the inter-modality and decarbonisation of transport, to discourage the use of private cars, to encourage walking and the expansion of networks of cycle paths and to promote integrated, low-emission systems of collective public mobility, preferably on rails;
Amendment 130 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9 a (new)
Paragraph 9 a (new)
9a. Calls on the Commission, in the framework of the new Regulation(s) for the post-2020 cohesion policy, to propose a bigger earmarking of funds available for cities to bid jointly for infrastructure or technologies that would contribute to decarbonising urban transport and reducing air pollution from road vehicles;
