Recital 3 a (new)
(3a) The freight modal shift is a crucial pillar of the Green Deal and corresponding Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy, also in maritime and inland ports this is of importance and these should increase their modal split shares towards more sustainable modes such as rail and inland waterways. However, ports are complex areas in which rail infrastructure is managed differently across Member States in terms of governing bodies. A common EU language on ‘port rail networks’ can help to allow ports to deliver on modal shift ambition.

(24a) Capacity bottlenecks appear in all modes of transport for both passengers and freight traffic hampering the network connectivity and multimodality. Furthermore, the lack of quality of the last mile connections negatively increases bottlenecks urban nodes. Consequently, the TEN-T Regulation needs to urgently address the existing bottlenecks in the TEN-T, particularly in cross-border links, in order to facilitate seamless and efficient transport to better connect people and business across Europe and contribute to the well-functioning of the EU internal market.

Recital 30
(30) As stated in the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy, an integration of the Core Network Corridors and of the Rail Freight Corridors into ‘European Transport Corridors’ is needed to increase synergies between infrastructure planning and the operation of transport. The European Transport Corridors should become the instrument for the development of sustainable and multimodal freight and passenger transport flows in Europe and for the development of interoperable high quality infrastructure and operational performance with emphasis on reliability. As such, they should also be the tool to realise the vision of creating a highly competitive rail network across the Union with connections to inland waterways to promote synchro-modality and complementarity across the two modes.

Recital 40 a (new)
(40a) Rail port infrastructure is managed and governed differently across ports in EU Members States and this demands particular roll-out of rail requirements. To achieve the objective of improving the rail access route to the port, the rail requirements should be applied up to the rail handover point, where the train is being transferred from the public network to the port rail network. The port managing body should assess the need to implement the rail requirements in other parts of the port rail network.

Recital 45
Recital 45
(45) Inland waterways in Europe are characterised by a heterogeneous hydro- morphology which hampers a coherent performance for all waterway stretches. Inland waterways, especially free flowing stretches, may be heavily impacted by climate and weather conditions. In order to ensure reliable international traffic, while respecting the hydro-morphology and applicable environmental legislation, TEN- T requirements should take into account the specific hydro-morphology of each waterway (for example free-flowing or regulated rivers) as well as the objectives of environmental and biodiversity policies. Such an approach should be considered at river basin levelcorridor level in close cooperation with Member States and infrastructure managers. In addition to the corridors, good connection to smaller inland waterways and their guaranteed navigability is key to promote inland waterways for end-to-end logistical solutions.

Recital 46
(46) Being the entry and exit points for the land infrastructure of the trans- European transport network, maritime ports play an important role as cross-border multimodal nodes which serve not only as transport hubs, but also as gateways for trade, industrial clusters and energy hubs, for example with regard to the deployment of off-shore wind installations. Given the strategic role of ports for resilient supply chains, for the diversification of energy supply and for energy security, its importance for the respective Member State, in terms of cohesion, geopolitical position, energy transition and added- value to the region, should be considered in addition to traffic volumes for the inclusion in the TEN-T network;

Recital 46 a (new)
(46a) Maritime ports play a key role in the import, export, storage, distribution and production of energy. Synergies between TEN-T and TEN-E should be maximised to ensure the coherence and comprehensiveness of the networks. The importance of maritime ports for energy security, energy supply and distribution should be considered when assessing their role for the TEN-T network;

Recital 46 a (new)
(46a) Maritime ports have a strategic role in the logistics supply chain, the diversification of energy supply and storage and consequently, in EU's strategic autonomy. They are also crucial in geopolitical and cohesion terms, something which should be considered in addition to traffic volumes for their identification in the TEN-T network.

Recital 49
Recital 49
(49) The trans-European transport network should ensure efficient multimodality in order to allow better and more sustainable modal choices to be made for passengers and freight and in order to enable large volumes to be consolidated for transfers over long distances. Multimodal terminals should play a key role to meet this objective. Insufficient punctuality has been a major obstacle to making multimodality an attractive option for the transport of freight and passengers. Efficient management of traffic flows as well as the increase in capacity of the infrastructure will enable rail to play its full part in improving the functioning of the intermodal transport chain.

Recital 52
Recital 52
(52) Member States should establish a national SUMP support programme aimed at promoting the uptake of SUMPs and improving coordination among regions, cities and towns. It should support regions and urban areas to develop high-quality SUMPs and reinforce monitoring and evaluation of the SUMP implementation through legislative measures, guidance, capacity building, assistance and possibly financial support. The Commission should extend the current list of urban nodes to include additional cities located on the TEN-T corridors and to provide more technical and financial support to help new urban nodes create and update their SUMPs; local authorities involvement in the governance of TEN-T corridors and the definition of relevant criteria to assess SUMPs should be improved through the creation of collaboration mechanisms.

(54) Multimodal digital mobility services help to enhance the integration of the different transport modes by combining several transport offers into one. Their further development should contribute to nudge behaviours towards the most sustainable modes, public transport and active modes such as walking and cycling. Highlights that urban infrastructure planning should be developed in accordance with EU standards on road safety, including standards for safety of cycling and walking infrastructure and other active modes of transport(pedestrian and cycling tracks, lanes, bridges, tunnels, parking areas and fast recharging points for light means of transport batteries) to increase the shift to more sustainable modes of transport.

Recital 67 a (new)
(67a) EU border regions cover 40% of the EU's territory and account for 30% of the EU's population. By connecting border regions more effectively the EU will become more integrated in a tangible way and offer citizens the possibility of enjoying sustainable cross-border mobility services. European Transport Coordinators should analyse mobility needs in EU cross-border regions and in coordination with the relevant regional and local authorities, and should establish "cross-border mobility plans". These plans should include targeted measures to improve the coordination and frequency of rail and public transport services between these regions, address missing links and bottlenecks, enhance the performance of services and the capacity of the infrastructures and improve the affordability of the cross-border services.
