Amendment 241 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Underlines that zero-emission fuels, such as-free transport options, such as electrification, clean hydrogen and synthetic fuels, should be used in accordance with the ‘energy efficiency first’ principle, mainly for those transport modes where direct electrification is not possible or not yet market-readylevel of technological development, bearing in mind that these are complementary options in terms of the overall management of the energy system; calls on the Commission to apply the principle of technological neutrality so that all these technologies can be developed in line with the specific needs and preferences of the public;

9. Welcomes the Commission’s idea to offer consumers carbon-neutral choices for scheduled collective travel by 2030, but; underlines that thesis objective cannot be achoices should be available for journeys up to 1 000 kmieved at the expense of alternative solutions for sustainable collective transport, such as coaches, for which zero-emission technologies are not available; notes that certain modes of transport are needed, due to their efficiency and capillarity, in order to maintain economic, social and territorial cohesion in more rural, depopulated and mountainous areas;
