Amendment 56 #
– Underlines that interoperability and safety of railway infrastructures represent key objectives to achieve seamless connectivity along the European railway infrastructures and to attain a European Railway Area by 2030, in line with the objectives of the Green Deal. The deployment of ERTMS will therefore require appropriate funding during the upcoming Multiannual Financial Framework, and its deployment plan should be geared up to benefit from any European source of EU direct funding, like CEF, and from all the EU investment programmes, like InvestEU, and operations from the EIB;

Paragraph 7
7. Recalls the important role that EU agencies play in helping to achieve policy objectives set by the legislator; calls therefore for sufficient funding and staffing for all agencies in line with their tasks and responsibilities; underlines in particular the need to substantially reinforce the following EU agencies: – European Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER), which has been underfunded and understaffed for many years; insists that the Commission address this problem already in its draft budget – European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA), which will succeed the European GNSS Agency (GSA); recalls that the Parliament annually highlighted a resourcing gap, concerning critical security of Galileo and EGNOS; regrets that the Commission in its proposal on the Space Programme did not sufficiently increase the human and financial resources to reflect this gap and the new tasks assigned to the agency; emphasises that the provisional inter- institutional agreement on the Space Programme further broadened the list of EUSPA’s tasks.
