Stakeholder consultation on the mid-term review of the 2011 White Paper on transport The white paper identified three objectives: • A reduction of GHG emissions .Transport- related emissions of CO2 should be reduced by around 60% by 2050 compared to 1990. • A drastic decrease in the oil dependency ratio of transport-related activities by 2050, • Limiting the growth of congestion.
… And proposed 10 goals 1. Halve the use of conventionally fuelled cars in urban transport by 2030; 2. 40% low carbon sustainable fuels in aviation by 2050; reduce EU CO2 emissions from maritime bunker fuels by 40% by 2050. 3. Shift 30% of road freight above 300 km to rail and waterborne by 2030. 4. Triple the existing high-speed rail network by 2030. The majority of medium- distance passenger transport should go by rail by 2050. 5. Complete the TEN-T ‘core’ network by 2030 with a corresponding set of information services. 6. Multimodal connections between all core network airports and rail, core seaports and rail freight and inland waterways by 2050. 7. Deployment of traffic management infrastructure and systems in the various modes. 8. Development of the framework for a European multimodal transport information management and payment system by 2020. 9. Halve road casualties by 2020, move close to zero fatalities by 2050. 10. Move towards full application of ‘user pays’ and ‘polluter pays’
CPMR response 2011 2.1 – The White Paper fails to consider territorial cohesion 2.2 – The White Paper underestimates the extent to which maritime transport needs to be supported if carbon reduction goals are to be achieved 3.4 – Smart pricing and taxation : The internalisation of external costs for polluting modes of transport must both: Create scope to finance “clean” modes of transport and therefore maritime transport, for both infrastructure and services; Take account of specific territorial circumstances
Key messages of the 2015 CPMR response • An additional (11th) goal should be introduced : improving accessibility, • Insufficient consideration has been given so far to islands and outermost regions . • Sustainability is another priority : but EU legislation sometimes leads to retro modalshift - the priority given to the central regions by the CEF will neither reduce emissions nor limit congestion • The question of infrastructure charging therefore needs to be examined at EU level as a matter of urgency . New sources of funding need to be imagined to encourage sustainable modes of transport and help the least accessible territories.
