Old challenges remain but new have come
Increasing competitive
pressure in the global
economy
Growing congestion and
poorer accessibility. An
infrastructure gap in the
enlarged EU
Increasing oil price and
persistent oil dependency
A deteriorating climate and
local environment

Transport for business – Transport as a
business
.

.
The EU economy is one of the most
open in the world. The future prosperity
of our continent will depend on the
ability of all of its regions to remain part
of a fully integrated world economy
The transport industry is an important
part of the economy: in the EU it
directly employs around 10 million
people and accounts for about 5% of
GDP
Many European companies are world
leaders in infrastructure, logistics,
manufacturing of transport equipment
and traffic management systems

A tight carbon budget for the transport sector
.
In October 2009, the European
Council showed support for the
objective of reducing GHG
emissions in the EU by 80 to 95%
by 2050 compared to 1990 levels.
This corresponds to – 60 CO2
emissions in transport.

Source: PRIMES-TREMOVE and TREMOVE
Transport accounts for about one
fourth of GHG emissions: 60%
comes from passenger transport,
one quarter is urban, less than one
quarter is inter-continental and over
half is medium-distance

Meeting the challenge
.
To meet the challenges,
transport has to:
• Use less energy
• Use cleaner energy
• Exploit efficiently a
multimodal,
integrated and
‘intelligent’ network

Ten Goals for competitive and resource efficient
transport
New and sustainable fuels and propulsion systems
•
Halve the use of ‘conventionally-fuelled’ cars in
urban transport by 2030; phase them out in
cities by 2050; achieve essentially CO2-free
city logistics by 2030
•
40% of low-carbon sustainable fuels in aviation
and 40% (if feasible 50%) less emissions in
maritime by 2050


Ten Goals for competitive and resource efficient
transport
Optimising the performance of multimodal
logistic chains, including by making greater use
of more energy-efficient modes
•
30% of road freight over 300 km should shift to
other modes by 2030, and more than 50% by
2050
•
Triple the length of the existing high-speed rail
network. By 2050 the majority of mediumdistance passenger transport should go by rail
•
A fully functional and EU-wide multimodal
TEN-T ‘core network’ by 2030
•
By 2050, connect all core network airports to
the rail network; all seaports to the rail freight
and, where possible, inland waterway system


Ten Goals for competitive and resource efficient
transport
Increasing the efficiency of transport and of
infrastructure use with information systems and
market-based incentives
•
Deployment of SESAR by 2020 and
completion of the European Common Aviation
Area. Deployment of ERTMS, ITS, SSN and
LRI, RIS and Galileo
•
By 2020, establish the framework for a
European multimodal transport information,
management and payment system
•
2050, move close to zero fatalities in road
transport
•
Move towards full application of “user pays”
and “polluter pays” principles Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area |

How to do it – 4 “i”s and 40 actions
nternal market:
Create a genuine Single European Transport Area
by eliminating all residual barriers within modes, and
between modes and national systems. A higher
degree of convergence and enforcement of rules,
standards and rights must be an integral part of this
strategy.
nnovation:
EU research needs to address the full cycle of
research, innovation and deployment in an
integrated way. Technology roadmap.
nfrastructure:
EU transport infrastructure policy needs a common
vision and sufficient resources. Focus on Core
network. The costs of transport should be reflected
in its price in an undistorted way.
nternational:
Opening up third country markets in transport
services, products and investments continues to
have high priority.

nternal market:
• Single European Railway Area: domestic
passengers market open to competition;
competitive tendering for public service
contracts; structural separation between
infrastructure
management
and
service
provision
• E-Freight and E-Maritime initiatives
paperless and intelligent transport
for
• A social code for mobile road transport workers
and less restrictions to road cabotage
• Access to real time travel and traffic information
to facilitate multi-modal travel planning and
integrated ticketing
• Further consolidation of passengers’ rights
legislation

11

nnovation:
• An EU Strategic Transport Technology Plan
(2011) that brings together infrastructure and
regulatory requirements, coordination of
multiple actors and demonstration projects
• A Clean Transport Systems Strategy (2012),
with specific measures to facilitate the
introduction of Clean Vehicles (e.g. rules on
interoperability of charging infrastructure,
guidelines and standards for refuelling
infrastructure)
• Procedures and financial assistance for urban
mobility plans, on a voluntary basis
• Common EU standards for carbon footprint
“calculators”

12

nfrastructure:
• Revision of TEN-T (2011) based on the creation
of a ‘core network’ and on a corridors’
approach. Over € 1.5 trillion investments for
2010-2030
• A framework to use coherently money in TEN-T,
cohesion and structural funds. Conditionality of
funding will ensure focus on EU priorities and
adoption of new technologies (2011)
• Single management structures for rail freight
corridors
• Guidelines for the application of infrastructure
costs to passenger cars (2012). In a second
stage, a framework for the internalisation of
costs to all road vehicles

The Connecting Europe Facility
.
.
.
.
.
.
The Connecting Europe Facility will accelerate infrastructure development in energy,
transport and information technology, to strengthen the backbone of the internal
market.
Budget: €50 Billion + :
•
•
•
€31.7 billion for transport (including €10 Billion from Cohesion Fund)
€9.2 billion for broadband
€9.1 billion for energy
Centralised Management through an Executive Agency (TEN-T EA) and financial
intermediaries
Technical implementation (procurement and tendering) to be done by project
promoters
Co-funding rates to vary depending on sectors, location of projects, type of projects,
with flexibility to maximise leverage and accelerate implementation
Combination of innovative financial instruments (e.g. Project bonds) and EU direct
support to optimise the impact of financing


nternational:
• Completion of the European Common Aviation
Area of 58 countries and 1 billion inhabitants by
2020
• Extend internal market rules through work in
international organisations (ICAO, IMO, OTIF,
OSJD, UNECE, the international river
commissions etc) and where relevant attain full
EU membership
• Extend our transport and infrastructure policy to
our immediate neighbours, including in the
preparation of mobility continuity plans
• Promote our approach globally: opening up
transport markets to free and undistorted
competition and environmentally sustainable
solutions

OCIAL DIMENSION:
•
The objective for the next decade is to create a
genuine Single European Transport Area. A higher
degree of convergence and enforcement of social,
safety, security and environmental rules, minimum
service standards and users’ rights must be an
integral part of this strategy, in order to avoid
tensions and distortions.
•
Market opening needs to go hand in hand with
quality jobs and working conditions, as human
resources are a crucial component of any high
quality transport system.
•
It is also widely known that labour and skill
shortages will become a serious concern for
transport in the future.
•
It will be important to align the competitiveness and
the social agenda, building on social dialogue, in
order to prevent social conflicts, which have proved
to cause significant economic losses in a number of
sectors, most importantly aviation.


OCIAL DIMENSION:
• Support social dialogue in view of an agreement on a
social code for mobile road transport workers,
addressing also disguised self-employment.
• Implement Maritime social agenda (2018 strategy).
Enhance enforcement of ILO’s Maritime Labour
Convention. Include excluded seagoing workers in
EU law protection. Update seafarers training directive.
Set up a framework for the training of seaport
workers.
• Establish mechanism to analyse the impact of
regulatory developments on working conditions in air
transport. Establish minimum service and quality
standards. Encourage social partners to address
conflict prevention.
• ALL MODES: Conduct an appraisal of sectoral social
dialogue. Ensure employee involvement in European
Work Councils. Address quality of work in all modes,
notably with respect to training, certification, working
conditions and career development.
