10 Amendments of Theresa GRIFFIN related to 2018/2023(INI)
Amendment 23 #
E a. whereas decarbonisation of road transport via carbon-free alternative fuels will require different fuels for different vehicle segments, meaning that no solution should be excluded;
Amendment 32 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital H
Recital H
H. whereas the recast of the DirectiveRegulation on emission standards for new passenger cars and for new light commercial vehicles will hopefully set ambitious reduction targets and incentivise low and zero- emission vehicles, thus leading the way to a decarbonised European vehicle fleet, which will require the deployment of an adequate infrastructure network for alternative fuels; whereas the revision of the Directive for the Promotion of clean and energy- efficient road transport vehicles complements the Directive for Alternative Fuels by guaranteeing demand for suppliers and increasing the uptake of clean vehicles, particularly in urban areas;
Amendment 45 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital M
Recital M
M. whereas the TEN-T networks constitute the main transport networks in the European Union; whereas focussing on deploying alternative fuels infrastructure and pursuing the goal established in the communication to provide full coverage of the trans-European transport network (TEN-T) core network corridors with charging points by 2025 should be a key priority; whereas this target should be complemented by also taking into account urban and rural areas, where customers'experience shows that the potential for the uptake of clean vehicles is higher; whereas conveying funds to projects that, although not yet financially viable, show thinner market gaps, represents an efficient way of using public funds to allow increased financial sustainability of the charging infrastructure business, allowing for a faster decarbonisationof the transport sector;
Amendment 58 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Notes that the Commission’s evaluation of the National Framework Plans (NFPs) reveals differing levels of effort and ambition between Member States and that the deployment of alternative fuels is falling short; calls therefore on the Commission to replace NFPs with mandatory objectives such as those put forward in the 2013 proposal, while also taking into account the projected and realised uptake of alternative-fuel vehicles and their technological progress, as well as the goal of having a trans- European infrastructure network for all alternative fuels; points out that the infrastructure shall be equipped with the necessary technical and communication devices to manage the charging process, enabling effective and efficient charging and all the environmental and socio- economic benefits that it entails;
Amendment 71 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Suggests an annual evaluation of the Member States’ implementation status and broadening of the Directive’s scope to shift it from deployment along the TEN-T core network to also covering the TEN-T comprehensive urban and regional nodes and the infrastructure for public fleets; recognises that with expected market uptake of Zero Emission vehicles this is needed before 2025 for the core network and by 2030 latest for the comprehensive network;
Amendment 100 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Suggests setting up a European Clean Mobility Fund to cover the estimated necessary investment of EUR 25 billion up to 2025; calls for the fund to be co- financed, with the European Union contributing 10 % and 90 % coming from industry, notably manufacturers, suppliers, energy and fuel producers and other interested parties; suggests that, by contributing to the fund, companies or consortia should be granted preferential access to grants and loans provided by the CEF, EIB and EC IPE; requests that financial resources from the fund should be awarded according to the criteria of feasibility, European added value, the achievement of deployment goals and cohesion policy; asks that the INEA, which already oversees the CEF, become the responsible agency;

Amendment 110 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. CTaxation has a major impact on the price competitiveness of alternative fuels, therefore calls on Member States to review their energy taxation frameworks in order to facilitate and incentivise the uptake of carbon-free alternative fuels, such as land side electric charging of ships that cannot compete with energy generation with combustion engines on board which is exempted from taxation, and to remove burdensome taxation on electricity used to generate alternative fuels, including power- to-gas as storage for intermittent renewable energies;
Amendment 118 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9
Paragraph 9
9. Regrets that progress regarding the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure and the availability of alternatively powered vehicles is too slow, and calls on manufacturers to step up efforts in this regard; recognises the need for policies that stimulate the offer of alternatively fuelled light and heavy-duty vehicles, such as ambitious emissions standards in 2025 and 2030 for new light and heavy-duty vehicles, including sales targets for zero and low emission vehicles.
Amendment 130 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10 a (new)
Paragraph 10 a (new)
10 a. Stresses the importance of streamlining and exchanging best practices, especially with guidance from the Sustainable Transport Forum, which was established by the Commission and should be seen as the core coordination instrument for reporting on the progress made by the National Policy Frameworks;
