A changing transport context
Enlargement: EU has continental dimension, transport environment is more diverseEvolving transport industry: consolidation, internal marketInnovation, new solutionsEnvironmental commitments (Kyoto)Dependency on expensive foreign oilChanged international context: terrorism, globalisation

The 2006 White Paper mid-term review
Policy lines to continue along the lines set by the 1992 and 2001 White Papers
A broader and more flexible toolbox to meet new challenges
Directorate-General for Energy and Transport

The 2006 White Paper mid-term review: priorities
Mobility: The EU must offer the necessary level of mobility to people and businessProtection: protect the environment, ensure energy security, promote minimum labour standards, protect the passenger and the citizen.Innovation: increase the efficiency & sustainability of the growing transport sector, develop & bring to the market new innovative solutionsInternational dimension: the EU must be a united, leading player in the international transport stage
Directorate-General for Energy and Transport
12
1. Sustainable Mobility: context
• Europe needs all modes of transportation: road, rail, air and waterborne.
• Transport modes should be efficient, well integrated, ensure seamless transport routes
• Problems related to congestion and accessibility
• Well functioning, integrated transport infrastructure
• Investments from all possible resources are imperative
Directorate-General for Energy and Transport
13
1. Sustainable Mobility: action
Road transport: internal market review (2006), review of legislation on working conditions (2007)
• Rail transport: remove technical barriers to interoperability (2006), promote rail freight corridors (2006), rail market monitoring (2007)
• Aviation: review air transport liberalisation measures (2006), review & complete Single European Sky (2007), SESAR (2007), emissions policy
• Waterborne transport: Common European Maritime Space White Paper (2008), European ports policy (2007), deploy e-maritime systems (2009), promote inland waterways transport
• Infrastructure: Smart charging (2008), identify multi annual investment programme up to 2013 for TEN (2007)
Directorate-General for Energy and Transport
14
2. Protection: context
• Environment: integration of international environmental commitments (Kyoto); CO2 emission, air quality, noise pollution, land use require utmost attention
• Energy: improve energy efficiency, diversify supply solutions and policies
• Social Aspects: maintaining and strengthening the competitiveness of transport operations is the best guarantee for durably high employment – the sector is a major employer with more than 10 million jobs
• User rights: better passenger rights for air transport – should be extended to other modes; attention to passengers with reduced mobility
• Safety & Security: target of cutting road accidents by half has not been met; terrorist threats are closely tied to transport – it is both a target and an instrument of terrorism.
Directorate-General for Energy and Transport
15
2. Protection: action
• Energy & environment: Urban transport Green Paper (2007); action plan for energy efficiency and road map for renewables (2006); strategic technology plan for energy (2007); launch of major programme for green propulsion (2009)
• Passenger rights: proposal on the rights of international coach passengers & maritime passengers including rights of persons with reduced mobility (2007)
• Safety: European Road Safety Day (2007); consolidate European transport safety agencies and develop their tasks; integrated approach in road safety
• Security: strategy for land & public transport and protection of critical infrastructure (2007)
• Employment: promote social dialogue, transport professions and training
Directorate-General for Energy and Transport
16
3. Innovation: context
Directorate-General for Energy and Transport
New technologies for pressing issues: congestion, reduction of emissions, improved transport efficiency & logistics throughout the supply chain
• EU is world leader and important exporter of many transport technologies and systems: we must continue to maintain this lead!
• Ultimate goal: efficient mobility without negative side effects!
17
3. Innovation: action
Directorate-General for Energy and Transport
Freight transport logistics strategy & broad debate on possible EU action (2006), definition of action plan for logistics (2007)Galileo: identification of possible future applications (2006), start of concession in 2009Launch of major programme to bring intelligent road transport systems to the market (2008)Implementation of ERTMS in certain corridors in 2009Launch first call of 7th RTD Framework Programme (2007)RTD and support to dissemination, exploitation and market penetration of new technologies
18
4. International dimension: context
• The external transport dimension should be well integrated into the EU’s overall transport policy
• Transport policy needs to be a part of the broader relationship with third countries and organisations
• The EU is a world leader in transport sector regulation, a leading provider of transport services, equipment and technology – EU companies control 30% of global air transport and 40% of the maritime fleet →its know-how and best practice should be projected abroad.
Directorate-General for Energy and Transport
19
4. International dimension: action
• Better representation of EU interests in international organisations – IMO, ICAO (2006)
• Possible membership in relevant international organisations (2009)
• Strategy for integrating the EU’sneighbouring countries into the internal transport market (2007)
• Develop external relations through bilateral agreements and in multilateral fora; deploy a common aviation area in Europe
