Recital 4
Recital 4
(4) Based on the consultation of stakeholders and national experts, as well as expertise electricity, hydrogen, biofuels, natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) were identified as the main alternative fuels with a potential for long- term oil substitution and decarbonisation. Notwithstanding this conclusion, standards, specifications and other rules should be drawn up without giving preference to any particular type of technology, so as not to hamper further development towards alternative fuels and energy carriers. At the same time, development can only be based on regulatory incentives. Continued competitiveness must be regulated by market forces.

Recital 11
Recital 11
(11) Electricity is a clean fuel particularlyfuel attractive for deployment of electric vehicles and electric two-wheelers in urban agglomerations which can contribute to improving air quality and reducing noise. Member States should ensure that recharging points for electric vehicles are built up with sufficient coverage, at least twice the number of vehicles, and 10% of them publicly accessible, focussing in particular on urban agglomerations. Private owners of electric vehicles depend to a large extent on access to recharging points in collective parking lots, such as in apartment blocks, office and business locations. Regulatory provisions should be set up by public authorities, assisting citizens by ensuring that the appropriate infrastructure with sufficient electric vehicle recharging points is provided by the site developers and managers.

Recital 24 a (new)
Recital 24 a (new)
(24a) With a view to an intelligent transport system (ITS), the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure should go hand-in-hand with the deployment of intelligent information systems that will provide users with key information on availability, for example, as well as all the other information necessary for unrestricted mobility.
Amendment 147 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 1
Article 1
This Directive establishes a common framework of measures for the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure in the Union in order to break the oil dependence of transport and sets out minimum requirements on alternative fuels infrastructure build-up and common technical specifications, including recharging points for electric vehicles and refuelling points for natural gas (LNG and CNG) and hydrogen. Its implementation takes particular account of the requirements as regards refuelling buses and lorries with alternative fuels. By setting standards and specifications in related areas, it is also designed to allow room for manoeuvre for new innovative solutions arising from fresh technical developments in the field of alternative fuels and their supply infrastructure.
Amendment 263 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 4 – paragraph 6 a (new)
Article 4 – paragraph 6 a (new)
6a. If all vehicle owners are to be able to use the public recharging infrastructure, e-roaming providers must be guaranteed non-discriminatory cross-border access to charging points. Charging networks must also enable charging and billing by means of third-party providers via an e-roaming facility.
Amendment 296 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 6 – paragraph -1 (new)
Article 6 – paragraph -1 (new)
-1. Natural gas extraction in the EU is carried out in accordance with a uniformly high Europe-wide standard of safety and environmental and health protection.
