Amendment 100 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 9 9. Believes that the decarbonisation of road transport must follow a well-planned strategy of "mobility transition" that ensures a smooth and socially acceptable transition for the workers and companies affected, especially those in less developed regions and regions facing demographic or territorial challenges; such mobility transition should include a shift towards decarbonised rail and bus transport and thus a shift to more production of respective rail vehicles and buses; considers that this strategy must include a detailed plan for re-skilling workers, providing alternative employment options for people currently employed in the automotive sector and providing incentives and support to ensure that new industrial plants resulting from the transition remain within the region, thereby maintaining the spillover effects in those areas, but that such as strategy must also include long- term public planning with regard to the expansion of rail and public transport, including local and regional;

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 9 9.
