Amendments (23)
Amendment 22 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital B
Recital B
B. whereas road transport is responsible for over 70 % of overall greenhouse gas emissions in transport and much of air pollution, and whereas action is mainly needed in this area, whilebut efforts should also be intensified in all sectors of transport to reduce emissions;
Amendment 69 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Invites the Commission and Member States to ensure full implementation of existing legislation and to come forward with a ‘transport and climate’ legislative package with a view to achieving the climate objectives, covering all modes, including urban mobilisupport the market uptake of existing technologies that contribute to low- emission mobility by increasing the efficiency of vehicles, whilst preserving safety;
Amendment 72 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5 a (new)
Paragraph 5 a (new)
5a. Is convinced that when sustainability is assessed the entire footprint, from the manufacture via the use to the disposal of vehicles and the requisite infrastructure should be taken into account, and emphasises, for that reason, that only a technology-neutral energy mix can offer realistic and genuinely sustainable solutions;
Amendment 90 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6 a (new)
Paragraph 6 a (new)
6a. Emphasises that the scope for making energy savings should not be forgotten, given that, for example, the use of driver assistance systems, driver training and further training, new mobility concepts, such as platooning and car sharing, and the full implementation of the Single European Sky policy can significantly increase transport sustainability;
Amendment 97 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Calls on the Commission to review the EU approach to aviation connectivity; stresses that connectivity should also focus on connecting remote and disadvantaged regions of the Union; underscores that this shcould be combined with investments in green alternatives such as cross-border (night) trains;
Amendment 114 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Considers that clearer price signals to reflect better the polluter-pays and user- pays principles are essential in ensuring fairness and a level-playing field for different transport modes in Europe, but emphasises at the same time the importance of giving incentives to reach the climate objectives in all modes of transport;
Amendment 130 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9
Paragraph 9
9. Welcomes the Commission’s efforts at developing standards for inter- operable electronic tolling systems in the EU and the forthcoming revision of the Eurovignette Directive, which should include a distance-based charging and differentiation on the basis ofand earmarked charbon dioxide emissionsging system; calls for the extension of distance-based charging to cover all passenger cars and vans, and for the principle to be extended to urban areas;
Amendment 142 #

Paragraph 11
Paragraph 11
Amendment 164 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Considers that autonomous vehicles can be an important asset in improving the efficiency of transport; insists, however, that autonomous vehicles should be electric, shared, and include smart measures to mitigate increasing useand sustainability of transport;
Amendment 179 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
Paragraph 13
13. Supports initiatives on mobility management, as for example an integrated multimodal ticketing, for achieving more efficient and environmentally friendly intermodal transport services and smart mobility, which can be key to promoting the shift from car ownership to mobility as a service;
Amendment 189 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13 a (new)
Paragraph 13 a (new)
13a. The contribution of Intelligent Transport Management System (ITS) to a more environmentally friendly transport system should be taken in consideration within future regulation;
Amendment 193 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13 a (new)
Paragraph 13 a (new)
13a. Calls for a uniform legislative framework for innovative logistical and transport solutions, so that the latter can be employed throughout Europe;
Amendment 206 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14
Paragraph 14
14. Welcomes efforts to ensure comprehensive and interoperable infrastructure for electric vehicle charging and for vehicles using alternative and sustainable fuels;
Amendment 219 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15
Paragraph 15
15. Considers that an obligation for fuel suppliers to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of energy supplied through renewable electricity, hydrogen, sustainable conventional and advanced biofuels or, synthetic fuels or other low carbon fuels (e.g. CNG, LNG) would be the most effective approach for reducing the climate impact of road transport;
Amendment 259 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 18
Paragraph 18
18. Urges the Commission and the Member States to limittake into account the contribution to climate action when financing projects in the framework of the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI), Trans- European Transport network (TEN-T), Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) and Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) financing to initiatives that contribute to climate action;
Amendment 285 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 19
Paragraph 19
19. Encourages cities to include GHG targets into their Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs)reduce pollutant emissions more effectively by making local public transport more attractive, by expanding cycle paths and by building up car sharing models instead of by means of bans on diesel cars, which ought to be imposed in extreme situations only, and calls for the Commission to link EU co-financing of urban projects to achieving such targetsuch measures;
Amendment 340 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 24
Paragraph 24
Amendment 357 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 25
Paragraph 25
25. Expects the Commission to come forward with a proposal for CO2 standards for heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) for 2025 without further delay, as well as for CO2 certification to allow for differentiation in road-user charging;
Amendment 365 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 25 a (new)
Paragraph 25 a (new)
25a. Emphasises the important contribution that ‘mega trucks’ can make to increasing efficiency within road haulage, since they make for fewer journeys, fuel savings and hence lower emissions, and therefore calls on the Commission and Member States to create incentives to make greater use of ‘mega trucks’;
Amendment 394 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 27
Paragraph 27
27. Urges the Commission to come forward with an ambitious proposal for the Combined Transport Directive that better promotes efficient freight transport and encourages the modal shift towards rail and sustainable waterways of 30 % by 2030 and 50 % by 2050;
Amendment 413 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 28
Paragraph 28
28. Asks the Commission to improve aviation efficiency, including by means of the proposal on landing fees and and ensure a level playing field with third country carriers by sticking to the CO2 standards beyond those enshrined in the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) agreement;
Amendment 437 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 29
Paragraph 29
29. Considers that the EU should implement the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) through the Union Emissions Trading System (ETS), while allowing for 50 % of the journeys to be excluded, provided that the destination is implementing CORSIA through national measures; proposes that the EU ETS should be retained for flights within the European Economic Area (EEA);

31. Stresses that, in the absence of an international agreement on an emissions reduction objective for the shipping sector and IMO measures to mitigate emissionIMO roadmap to establish CO2 emissions reduction commitments in the international maritime sector, the Union should incorbe supporated international shipping into the Emissions Trading System from 2023 order to adopt ambitious short and long term measures consistently with the Paris Climate Agreement;
