The 2011 White Paper
WP 1992 Opening the transport market
WP 2001 Rebalancing modes to fight capacity constraints
WP 2011 Putting transport in the wider ‘EU 2020’ perspective:
An agenda for promoting growth and jobs through greater resource efficiency

3 Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area
Transport for business – Transport as a business
. The prosperity of the EU owes much to the internal market and to trade links with the rest of the world . The transport industry is an important part of the economy

Outline
Challenges ahead
A vision for the transport system of 2050
1 target (-60% GHG emissions) and 10 indicative goals/benchmarks to guide policy action

5 Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area
Increasing oil price and persistent oil dependency
Transport depends on oil for about 96% of its energy needs.
The transport sector accounts for almost 90% of the projected increase in global oil use.
. 750 million cars today, 2.2 billion in 2050
The depletion of reserves and growing global demand would lead to ever higher oil prices.

Growing congestion and poorer accessibility
significantly by 2030, leading to further divergences in accessibility

7 Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area
A tight carbon budget for the transport sector
Transport accounts for about 1/4 of GHG emissions in the EU: 60% comes from passengers 1/4 is urban 1/5 is inter-continental
. The international community has agreed to limit climate change to 2 the objective of reducing GHG emissions in the EU by 80 to 95% by 2050 compared to 1990 levels

8 Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area
Meeting the challenge
. To meet the challenges, transport has to:
multimodal, integrated and ‘intelligent’ network

9 Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area
Freight
efficient hinterland connections for ports
fuels for shipping
corridors
trucks
shorter distances
distance and last-mile
consolidation centres and delivery points
and low-emission trucks for deliveries Passengers
(efficient links between airports and rail, minimum hassle for personal security screening…)
(online multimodal info and ticketing, multimodal hubs…)
passengers’ rights
efficient cars; Higher share of public transport; Alternative propulsion for urban buses and taxis; Better infrastructure for walking and cycling)
Long-distance travel and intercontinental freight Intercity travel and transport Urban transport and commuting

10 Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area
50%) less emissions in maritime by 2050
2030, with a high quality and capacity network by 2050 and a corresponding set of information services.
the rail network, preferably high-speed; ensure that all core seaports are sufficiently connected to the rail freight and, where possible, inland waterway system.

11 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 between modes and national systems.
nnovation:
EU research needs to address the full cycle of research, innovation and deployment in an integrated way.
nfrastructure: EU transport infrastructure policy needs a common
vision and sufficient resources. 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.

12 Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area
How to do it – The 4 “i”s
nternal market:
Barriers should be further developed into a “Blue Belt” of free maritime movement in and around Europe.
Maritime Social Agenda.
relevant maritime information tools needed to support maritime safety and security.
and EU flag for maritime.
coastguards in the EU.

13 Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area
How to do it – The 4 “i”s
nnovation:
bring the greatest European added value in areas such as clean, safe and silent vehicles for all different modes of transport (including new materials, new propulsion systems and the IT and management tools to manage and integrate complex transport systems).
in all modes, where necessary supplemented by requirements on energy efficiency to address all types

14 Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area
How to do it – The 4 “i”s
nfrastructure:

and airports, as well as for air pollution at sea (2016- 2020).
|
15 Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area
How to do it – The 4 “i”s
nternational:
international organisations (WTO, ICAO, IMO, OTIF, OSJD, UNECE, the international river commissions etc) and, where relevant, attain full EU membership.
