Coordinated policy frameworks of all Member States should therefore provide the long-term security required for private and public investment into vehicle and fuel technology, and infrastructure build-up. Regulation must provide the right incentives, namely by pursuing the convergence of frameworks. Member States should therefore establish national policy frameworks outlining their objectives, targets, and supporting actions on the market development of alternative fuels, including the necessary infrastructure to be put into place. Member States should cooperate with other neighbouring Member States on the regional or macro-regional level, through consultation or joint policy frameworks, in particular where continuity of alternative fuel infrastructure coverage across national borders or construction of new infrastructure in the proximity of national borders is required. A coordination of these national policy frameworks and their coherence at EU level should be ensured by the Commission, following a periodic evaluation thereof.
