Amendment 294 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 25
Recital 25
(25) Certain existing standards of the core network should be extended to the extended core and comprehensive network in order to reap full network benefits, to increase interoperability between network types and to enable more activity by more sustainable forms of transport, including through higher digitalisation and other technological solutions. The provision of clear and reliable planning for the technical specifications for interoperability (TSI) is of utmost importance for regulatory stability, legal certainty and for unlocking investments in ERTMS.
Amendment 363 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 42
Recital 42
(42) ERTMS should be deployed in a continuous and synchronised manner not only on the core network, extended core network and comprehensive network, including in the urban nodes, but also on access routes to multimodal terminals. This will enable operations with ERTMS only and boost the business case of railway undertakings. Under no circumstance should it be possible for a new railway project that is not planning ERTMS deployment to be financed by Union funds.

Recital 42 a (new)
(42a) In order to facilitate a profound modal shift to sustainable rail freight transport by 2030 and 2040, investments are required in coordination with all relevant stakeholders to deliver high- quality cross-border networks. Financial efforts should also be focused on the deployment of digital and telematics applications, such as ERTMS and DAC (digital automatic coupling).
Amendment 427 #

Recital 49 a (new)
Recital 49 a (new)
(49a) In order to guarantee access to adequate resting facilities for professional drivers Members States should do their utmost to deploy a sufficient number of safe and secure parking areas for commercial vehicles along the whole TEN-Network in the European Union.
Amendment 453 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 59
Recital 59
(59) A sufficient number of fast recharging points for light and heavy-duty vehicles accessible to the public should be deployed across the trans-European transport network without delay. This aim should ensure full cross-border connectivity and allow electric and hydrogen vehicles to circulate throughout the Union. Distance-based targets for the trans- European transport network as defined in Regulation (EU) […] [on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure] are to ensure a minimum of sufficient coverage of electric recharging points along the Union’s main road networks.

(59a) It will be important to support the effective rollout in Member States of the recharging and refuelling infrastructure. This will require coordination amongst all stakeholders, including by European, national, and regional institutions, trade unions, and the industry.
Amendment 459 #

Recital 59 b (new)
Recital 59 b (new)
(59b) Sustainable alternative fuels and their infrastructure play a key role in this transition. A swift and continuous roll-out of alternative fuels infrastructure is a fundamental prerequisite to support and further boost the market uptake of sustainable vehicles, vessels and transport solutions. It is therefore crucial to enable sufficient levels of deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure and incentivise investments in sustainable technologies. The investment decisions that will be taken in the near future will be instrumental to put the transport sector on the right path in its ongoing transition and to ensure that it sufficiently contributes to reducing the Union’s GHG emissions by 55 percent by 2030 and to net-zero by 2050.
Amendment 462 #

Recital 59 c (new)
Recital 59 c (new)
(59c) In order to guarantee a full cross- border connectivity especially for light and heavy duty vehicles, Member States should ensure that a sufficient number of hydrogen refuelling points for light and heavy-duty vehicles accessible to the public is deployed across the TEN-T network as defined in Regulation (EU) […] [on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure]. A sufficient coverage of hydrogen refuelling points along the Union’s main road networks should allow hydrogen vehicles to circulate throughout the Union.
Amendment 464 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 60
Recital 60
(60) Publicly accessible recharging and refuelling infrastructure along the trans- European transport network as defined in Regulation (EU) […] [on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure] should be complemented with requirements on the deployment of recharging and refuelling infrastructure in multimodal terminals and for multimodal passenger hubs, to provide charging and refuelling opportunities for long haul trucks when they are being loaded or unloaded or when the driver is taking a rest or for busses in multimodal passenger hubs. In order to ensure free circulation, where the terminals or passenger hubs receive Union or public support, the access for purposes of charging and refuelling, should be on fair, affordable, transparent and non- discriminatory basis, so as to avoid market lock in for specific enterprises or possible distortions of competition. Pricing should be made on transparent and non- discriminatory basis for all authorised undertakings or persons, where the charging and refuelling infrastructure is build using Union or public funding.

Recital 60 a (new)
Recital 60 a (new)
(60a) The Commission should closely monitor the fulfilment of the obligations of Member States laid down in this Regulation, especially regarding the installation of publicly accessible charging and refuelling points across their territory. In the case of a breach of Union law, the Commission should take all necessary steps, including infringement procedure in accordance with Article 258 TFEU, in order to guarantee the harmonised deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure rules in the Union.

Recital 66 a (new)
(66a) One of the main objectives of the TEN-T regulation should be to fill gaps, remove bottlenecks and technical barriers, and strengthen social, economic and territorial cohesion in the EU. The implementation of the TEN-T network creates the infrastructure conditions to make transport more sustainable and achieve climate objectives. Ten-T are the main networks on which goods and passengers are transported in the EU. The European Transport Corridors should be the network of the highest strategic importance for the development of sustainable and multimodal freight and passenger flows in Europe.

(66b) There are still many gaps in between the corridors, also especially for example in the Rhine-Danube corridor. Filling the gap between the metropolitan areas of Nuremberg / Germany and Prague / Czech Republic via Amberg- Schwandorf in Germany would be the most efficient solution. This would bring enormous benefits, especially in the rail passenger and freight sector. The additional electrification via Schwandorf – Amberg could in particular alleviate the existing accessibility deficits in the central and northern Upper Palatinate.
