- whereas the quality of road infrastructure, which has a direct impact on road safety, differs significantly across the EU and whereas more than 70 percent of road accident deaths in the Member States occur on the urban and rural roads, stresses that efficient financing from the Cohesion Fund into this type of infrastructure has to be further promoted in line with the principles of social and territorial cohesion and the goal of sustainable and safe transport;

Paragraph 1 a (new)
1 a. The Commission should, as soon as possible, submit a coherent, quantitative analysis of the present situation with respect to the level of infrastructure, the density of the transport network and the quality of transport services in all EU Member States, which will provide an overview of the present situation in EU27, the main outputs from this analysis being appended to the White Paper;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Stresses that efficient co-modality in passenger and goods transport – measured in terms of economic efficiency, environmental protection, social and employment conditions and safety aspects, and geared to existing and planned infrastructure in individual countries and regions – should be the guiding idea for future transport policy, and that these parameters should be used to determine modal distribution in countries and regions rather than retaining the proposed 300 km threshold for goods transport by roadtaken into consideration when applying the 300 km threshold for goods transport by road, while use of sustainable means of transport should be systematically promoted also on short and medium distances;

Paragraph 9
9. Stresses that the behaviour of transport users is decisive and calls for the creation of incentives to choose sustainable and physically active means of transport, where proposalsthe Commission should, be made by 2013y 2013, submit a strategy for the systematic support of non- motorised transport, which should include proposals to develop safe infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists in towns, tosystematically to increase the attractiveness and double the number of cyclists and passengers on public transport, which mainly uses alternative sources of energy, and to establish e-tickets for multi- modal travel, and where pricing policy should be considered as an incentive and emphasis should be placed on accessibility (physical, temporal and financial) for users, especially in towns and conurbations;
