Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Is convinced that population growth, in particular in citieurban areas, will give rise to challenges for transport in terms of safety and capacity, and that the basic right to mobility and the applicability of this right are crucial in this regard; stresses that, in this context, multimodal transport chains and collective transport, inter alia, are the way ahead for urban areas; supports the creation of a charter of passengers’ rights in the European Union which clearly sets out passengers’ rights for all modes of transport and contains in an annex the specific rights for each mode;

Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Stresses that decarbonising transport is one of the main challenges of future EU transport policy and that all available, sustainable means should be used in order to achieve this, such as an energy mix, price formation measures and internalising external costs of all modes of transport, provided that the ensuing revenue is used to improve the sustainability of mobility; underlines that, to this end, the priority development of financial incentives, ruling out any distortions of competition in the process, should be preferred to thundertaken before imposition ofng sanctions;

Paragraph 12 a (new)
12a. Emphasises that the energy sources used for transport pose a double challenge for the future: substituting polluting energies with energies with a low environmental impact and replacing fossil-based energy sources, which are limited or soon to be depleted, with renewable energy sources; in these conditions, biofuels, liquefied gas and, above all, electrical energy (source of production and operational system under way) must be the subject of concerted efforts at EU level in terms of research, development and production means;
