(16 a) The Commission, in its Communication ‘The European Green Deal’1a highlights the acceleration of the shift to sustainable and smart mobility as a priority policy to transform the EU's economy, society and natural environment towards climate neutrality. It indicates that all modes of transport should contribute to the objectives of the European Green Deal. To achieve the latter, there is a need to boost multimodal transport, automated, modern and accessible mobility connectivity, as well as the deployment of alternative transport fuels and the establishment of sustainable charging points. The revision of the TEN- T Regulation should be key in accelerating the transformation to sustainable and smart mobility. _________________ 1a Commission Communication - The European Green Deal, COM(2019) 640 final of 11 December 2019.

(16 b) To ensure the transition towards sustainable and smart mobility, the Commission announced in its Communication ‘The European Green Deal’1a its intention to adopt a comprehensive Strategy on Sustainable and Smart Mobility in 2020 with ambitious measures aimed at significantly reducing CO2 and pollutant emissions across all modes of transport. The strategy will include the following four areas of action: boosting the uptake of clean vehicles and alternative fuels for road, maritime and aviation fuels; increasing the share of more sustainable transport modes such as rail and inland waterways, and improving efficiency across the whole transport system; incentivising the right consumer choices and low-emission practices; and, investing in low- and zero- emissions solutions, including infrastructure. Furthermore, the strategy should take full advantage of the opportunities presented by digitalisation and should continue prioritising the highest safety and security standards. In addition, it should ensure that the transition towards sustainable and smart mobility goes hand by hand with a just transition for workers of the transport sector and promotes the upskilling and reskilling needed to adapt to the new challenges and opportunities. Ultimately, the comprehensive strategy should guarantee affordability and accessibility of sustainable modes of transport for all users. _________________ 1a Commission Communication - The European Green Deal, COM(2019) 640 final of 11 December 2019.

(23) Climate change is by definition a trans-boundary challenge and, so a coordinated action at Union level is needed to effectively supplement and reinforce national policies. Since the objectives of this Regulation, namely to achieve climate neutrality in the Union by 2050, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States alone, but can rather, by reason of the scale and effects, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve those objectives, . Pursuant to the principle of sincere cooperation, as set out in Article 4 of the same Treaty, the Union and the Member States shall assist each other to achieve the objectives of this Regulation, Member States shall take any appropriate measures resulting from the objectives and recommendations as set out in this Regulation and shall refrain from any measure which could jeopardise the attainment of the objectives of this Regulation
