Recital 10
Recital 10
(10) In order to achieve a high-quality and efficient transport infrastructure across all modes, the development of the trans- European transport network should take into account the security and safety of passengers and freight movements, the contribution to climate change and the impact of climate change and of potential natural hazards and human-made disasters on infrastructure and accessibility for all transport users, especially in regions that are particularly affected by the negative impacts of climate change. Particular consideration should be given to enhancing the resilience of critical infrastructure, especially with regards to geopolitical developments and disruptions of supply chains. The development of the TEN-T network should moreover take into account the EU-Ukraine solidarity lanes and the need to diversify energy supplies and to speed up the development of the alternative and renewable energy sector, including LNG, nuclear energy and energy supply chains.

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 rail services meeting minimum line speed. 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 facilitatencourage the development and introduction of new or differentand improved models of capacity allocation, for example interval- service timetables and short-term ad hoc allocation, enabled by the Timetable Redesign (TTR) initiative.

Recital 59 b (new)
Recital 59 b (new)
(59b) In the heavy-duty road transport sector, multiple solutions will be needed to cover different market needs and transport scenarios. While electrification is one of the future applications to abate emissions in the long term, more developed renewable alternatives must be used to cover long-haulage transport needs. LNG technology is mature and the fleet running on bio-LNG is expected to significantly grow in the near future. Additionally, bio-LNG can be easily transported, stored, and directly injected into the LNG refuelling infrastructure present throughout the TEN-T network with little to no modification.
Amendment 463 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 59 c (new)
Recital 59 c (new)
(59c) As there is currently no economically viable zero-emission powertrain technology available, a variety of fuels and propulsion systems will be needed for the decarbonisation of the maritime industry. With an always growing LNG fleet in operation, LNG, and progressively bio-LNG, is likely to play a continued role in maritime transport, where LNG offers immediate local emissions improvements and GHG reductions, enabling the shipping industry to start immediately its transition to carbon neutrality.

Recital 62
(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, other criteria beyond traffic volumes should be considered 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.

Recital 70 a (new)
Recital 70 a (new)
(70a) Rail passenger services should become a more attractive option for longer-distance journeys and rail high speed services have proven in many European countries their attractiveness. While being easier to use and 15 times more energy efficient, high-speed rail services are superior in terms of duration, convenience and comfort of traveling, up to distances of 1200 km versus other modes of transport. The European distances are particularly suitable to this mode of transport and most EU Capitals, major cities and metropolitan areas could be interconnected thanks to high speed. However, the current European network is fragmented and mainly made up of “national high-speed islands” and there is an urgent need to develop a EU High- Speed Network with a larger number of connections between all EU Capitals, major cities and metropolitan areas. This is vital to reach the objective of the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy which aims to double High Speed rail traffic by 2030 and triple by 2050. The advantages of high-speed rail versus other transport modes are as follows: 1. transport capacity : high-capacity transport capable of covering long distances, 2. energy consumption : extremely low energy consumption per passenger, 3. emissions : extremely low emission footprint in case of electric traction, 4. Permanent noise pollution : significantly better parameters than road and aviation transport, 5. infrastructure spatial requirements :significantly lower space demand (per transported volume) than road transport,6. travel comfort : being able to provide a very high standard, 7. travel time: up to 1200 km, High Speed Rail can successfully compete with air transport,8. Safety: high-speed rail is one of the safest modes to travel.
