Recital C
C. Wwhereas European towns and cities should be able to choose from a wide range of instruments so as to put together a tailor- made policy mix in order to solve their specific traffic problemspromote modal shift towards sustainable transport modes and thus address environmental and societal problems (congestion, accidents, pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, etc...); whereas better logistical solutions must be sought in all transport areas (passenger and freight transport),
Amendment 63 #
2008/2041(INI)
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2 a (new)
Paragraph 2 a (new)
2a. believes that the European Union should define an overall strategy on urban mobility leading to a reduction in the high use of private cars and promote modal shift towards sustainable modes of transport, to support the EU's commitments on environmental protection and on cutting greenhouse gas emissions;
Amendment 36 #
2008/2009(INI)
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9 a (new)
Paragraph 9 a (new)
9a. Reiterates its call on the Member States and the Commission, in view of the air pollution affecting many port towns and regions, to provide significantly better incentives for the provision of land-based electricity for ships in port; calls, therefore, for a proposal for an amendment to Council Directive 2003/96/EC of 27 October 2003 restructuring the Community framework for the taxation of energy products and electricity, whereby those Member States which take advantage of the tax exemption on bunker oil pursuant to Article 14 of that directive would be required to exempt land-based electricity from tax to the same extent; the equal treatment for tax purposes of electricity and bunker oil would be a major incentive for ports and ship-owners to help reduce air pollution in port towns by investing in the electricity supply for ships in port;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 20
Paragraph 20
20. Stresses that standardising and simplifying the administration of the authorities involved in the freight transport market, together with simplified customs rules and procedures at borders is bound to lead to greater efficiency of freight transport logistics; urges the Commission to ask the appropriate associations and organisations to develop a single intermodal European freight document; recalls the experience gained from the 'one-stop shops' in the Trans-European Rail Freight Network (TERFN) initiative;

(22a) To encourage coach tours specifically for tourists on low incomes and promote tourism in the regions there is a need to re-introduce the 12-day rule for round trips by coach (see paragraph 78 of Parliament’s Resolution of 29 November 2007). For this reason Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006, on the harmonisation of certain social legislation relating to road transport, should be extended accordingly.
