Recital 12
Recital 12
(12) During infrastructure planning, Member States and other project promoters should give due consideration to the risk assessments and adaptation measures that seek to improve resilience, for example to climate change, natural hazards and human-made disasters. By providing further incentives to develop sustainable forms of transport and with the implementation of high-level standards for green transport infrastructure, the realisation of the trans-European transport network will support the “do no significant harm” principle.

(13) Given the evolution of the Union infrastructure needs and the decarbonisation goals, the Conclusions of the 2020 July European Council, according to which Union expenditure should be consistent with Paris Agreement objectives and the "do no significant harm" principle, within the meaning of Article 17 of the Taxonomy Regulation17 , projects of common interest should be assessed in order to ensure that TEN-T policy is coherent with transport, environmental and climate policy objectives of the Union. Member States and other project promoters should carry out environmental assessments of plans and projects which should include the “do no significant harm” assessment based on the latest available guidance and best practice. In cases that the implementation of a project of common interest entails a significant harm to an environmental or climate objective, reasonable alternatives should be considered. __________________ 17 Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2020 on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment, and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (Text with EEA relevance) (OJ L 198, 22.6.2020, p. 13).

Recital 26
(26) Exemptions from the infrastructure requirements applicable to the core, extended core and comprehensive network should be possible only in duly justified cases and subject to certain conditions. This should include cases where investment cannot be justified, or where there are specific geographic or significant physical constraints, for example in outermost regions and other remote, insular, peripheral and mountainous regions or in sparsely populated areas, or for isolated or partially isolated networks.

Recital 39
(39) To achieve transformation of the transport sector into a truly multimodal system of sustainable and smart mobility services, the Union should build a high quality transport network with, free of bottlenecks, with double-track railway along the core network enabling rail services to meeting minimum line speeds. Competitive passenger rail has a high potential for the decarbonisation of transport. There is the need to develop a coherent and interoperable European high speed rail network linking its capitals and major cities. Complementing existing high speed lines with passenger lines at a minimum line speed of 160 km/h should in return lead to network effects, a more coherent network and an increased number of passengers travelling by rail. The completion of a high-performance network will also facilitate the development and introduction of new or different models of capacity allocation, for example interval- service timetables enabled by the Timetable Redesign (TTR) initiative.

(62) Taking stock of the experience with regard to the crisis management during the Covid-19 pandemic25 and in order to avoid traffic disruptions and contingencies in future, Member States should take into account the security and resilience of the transport infrastructure to climate change, natural hazards, human-made disasters and other disruptions affecting the functioning of the Union transport system, when planning infrastructure. To that aim, existing bottlenecks should be removed and the European Transport Corridors should also include important diversionary lines which can be used in case of congestion or other problems on the principal routes. In addition, due to their multimodal nature, one mode can substitute the other in case of emergencies. __________________ 25 Communication on the implementation of the Green Lanes under the Guidelines for border management measures to protect health and ensure the availability of goods and essential services; C(2020)1897 final (OJ C 96 I, 24.3.2020, p. 1) and Communication of 28 October 2020 from the Commission to the European Parliament, the European Council and the Council on “upgrading the transport Green Lanes to keep the economy going during the COVID-19 pandemic resurgence”; COM(2020)685 final.
