Paragraph 1 – indent 2
Paragraph 1 – indent 2
– that, by 2014, a proposal should be submitted to provide for the internalisation of the external costs of all modes of transport, whilst avoiding double charging and market distortions, in order to increase investments in mobility, safety and researchand taking account of the specific nature of each mode of transport envisaged; stresses that the policy of internalisation of external transport costs in Europe will produce better results in terms of reduction of carbon dioxide emissions when it becomes compulsory in all EU Member States and when it secures an appropriate share of the allocation of fees in the policies for the sustainable development of transport;
