Amendment 42 #
Draft opinion
Recital C d (new)
Recital C d (new)
Cd. whereas it is worrying to note that the Commission is talking in terms of transport concepts to be devised at European level, which would then have to be adapted according to the circumstances in Member States; whereas, rather than adopting a top-down approach along those lines and without disregarding the need for common rules and standards, it would be preferable to follow a bottom-up approach involving parallel experimenting on the ground, thereby encouraging innovation; whereas one measure that should therefore be strongly supported is to set up platforms for exchanges of experience among local stakeholders, enabling success stories to be publicised more widely;
Amendment 79 #

Paragraph 3 a (new)
Paragraph 3 a (new)
3a. Calls on the Member States, with a view to developing appropriate charging facilities for electric vehicles, to take the necessary steps as quickly as possible to enable charging points to be set up without red tape on owner-occupied and rented residential properties, if parking places are available, and to ensure that private electric vehicles can be recharged at the owner’s workplace, without entailing inordinate administrative formalities;

Paragraph 3 b (new)
Paragraph 3 b (new)

Calls on the Commission and the Member States, as regards intermodalism concepts, to ensure that public transport systems can be sensibly combined with individual means of travel such as car- sharing vehicles, pedelecs, and bicycles and to provide the infrastructure required for that purpose, bearing in mind that public transport becomes much more attractive when the ‘last mile’ is easy to cover and individual travel needs beyond that point can be readily met on the spot;

Draft opinion
Paragraph 3 c (new)
Paragraph 3 c (new)
3c. Urges the Commission and the Member States to create the conditions required for cross-border travel planning, reservation, and payment systems encompassing different forms of transport, bearing in mind that the need to use a variety of information platforms and payment systems poses a major obstacle to the acceptance of, and demand for, intermodal transport systems;

Paragraph 3 d (new)
Paragraph 3 d (new)
3d. Calls on the Member States, as far as fleet procurement is concerned, bearing in mind that public authorities can act as a model, to refrain from buying vehicles without alternative propulsion systems unless there are understandable reasons for making such purposes; points out that procurement initiatives of this kind could also stimulate the used car market;

Paragraph 4 a (new)
Paragraph 4 a (new)
4a. Calls on the Commission and the Member States, when devising urban mobility concepts, to allow not only for intra-urban logistics, but also, and in particular, for the use of electric propulsion systems in local public transport, since these could do much to reduce pollutant and GHG emissions;
