10. WHITE PAPER Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area – Towards a competitive and resource efficient transport system (I/II), 10 policy goals Developing and deploying 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 in major urban centres by 2030. Low-carbon sustainable fuels in aviation to reach 40% by 2050; also by 2050 reduce EU CO2 emissions from maritime bunker fuels by 40% (if feasible 50%). Optimising the performance of multimodal logistic chains, by making greater use of more energy-efficient modes 30% of road freight over 300 km should shift to other modes such as rail or waterborne transport by 2030, and more than 50% by 2050, facilitated by efficient and green freight corridors. To meet this goal will also require appropriate infrastructure to be developed. By 2050, complete a European high-speed rail network. Triple the length of the existing high-speed rail network by 2030 and maintain a dense railway network in all Member States. By 2050 the majority of medium-distance passenger transport should go by rail. A fully functional and EU-wide multimodal TEN-T ‘core network’ by 2030, with a high quality and capacity network by 2050 and a corresponding set of information services. By 2050, connect all core network airports to 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. WHITE PAPER Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area – Towards a competitive and resource efficient transport system (II/II), 10 policy goals Increasing the efficiency of transport and of infrastructure use with information systems and market-based incentives Deployment of the modernised air traffic management infrastructure (SESAR) in Europe by 2020 and completion of the European Common Aviation Area. Deployment of equivalent land and waterborne transport management systems (ERTMS, ITS, SSN and LRIT, RIS). Deployment of the European Global Navigation Satellite System (Galileo). By 2020, establish the framework for a European multimodal transport information, management and payment system. By 2050, move close to zero fatalities in road transport. In line with this goal, the EU aims at halving road casualties by 2020. Make sure that the EU is a world leader in safety and security of transport in all modes of transport. Move towards full application of “user pays” and “polluter pays” principles and private sector engagement to eliminate distortions, including harmful subsidies, generate revenues and ensure financing for future transport investments.

12. Creation of the Single European Transport Area – common rules, infrastructures, seamless mobility for persons and freight, reduction of costs and more sustainability. It consists of: The Single European Sky to increase the capacity of airspace and quality of airports. The Single European Railway Area to abolish all technical, administrative and legal obstacles for entry to national railway markets. A further integration of the road freight market will render road transport more efficient and competitive. The maritime “Blue Belt” to simplify formalities for ships travelling between EU ports, and provide a suitable framework for inland waterway transport. More market access to ports. More sustainability and environmental friendliness across the modes and areas (especially in urban transport) White Paper Key elements 1/2

13. More emphasis on the international cooperation dimension (“Transport is fundamentally international”) among others through: High priority to opening up third country markets in transport services, products and investments. Promotion of safety, security, privacy and environmental standards worldwide through bilateral and multilateral cooperation. Extending EU transport and infrastructure policy to EU’s immediate neighbours (preparation of mobility continuity plans, deliver closer market integration, establish a cooperation framework similar to on the Western Balkan Transport Treaty). Complete the European Common aviation area of 58 countries and 1 billion inhabitants. Cooperate with the Mediterranean partners in the implementation of a Mediterranean Maritime Strategy to enhance maritime safety, security and surveillance. Promote SESAR, ERTMS and ITS technology deployment in the world. Establish research and innovation partnerships at international level.

Commission proposal for a 80 billion euro research and innovation funding programme (2014-20) Part of proposals for next EU budget, complementing Structural Funds, education, etc. A core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union & European Research Area: Responding to the economic crisis to invest in future jobs and growth Addressing peoples’ concerns about their livelihoods, safety and environment. Strengthening the EU’s global position in research, innovation and technology What is Horizon 2020

15. Investment in R&D is part of the solution to exit from the economic crises

16. Three priorities: 1 Excellent science2 Industrial leadership3 Societal challenges

17. Why: World class science is the foundation of tomorrow’s technologies, jobs and wellbeing Europe needs to develop, attract and retain research talent Researchers need access to the best infrastructures Priority 1 Excellent science

18. Why: Strategic investments in key technologies (e.g. advanced manufacturing, micro-electronics) underpin innovation across existing and emerging sectors Europe needs to attract more private investment in research and innovation Europe needs more innovative SMEs to create growth and jobs Priority 2 Industrial leadership

19. Why: Concerns of citizens and society/EU policy objectives (climate, environment, energy, transport etc) cannot be achieved without innovation Breakthrough solutions come from multi-disciplinary collaborations, including social sciences & humanities Promising solutions need to be tested, demonstrated and scaled up Priority 3 Societal challenges

20. For SMEs - dedicated SME projects to address societal challenges and enabling technologies For all regions– tailored support to policy learning, twinning, networking, complementing Structural Funds For international partners– broad access to Horizon 2020 (“mainstreaming”), strategic initiatives where there is mutual benefit For all forms of innovation- social innovation, services, pilots, stimulating demand through public procurement, standard setting Broader access

21. International cooperation in research and innovation is a key aspect of the Union’s global commitments and has an important role to play in the Union’s partnership with developing countries, such as progressing towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. Three major country groupings of priority interest: industrialized and emerging economies; enlargement and neighborhood countries; and developing countries. Will also promote cooperation at regional or multilateral level. Article 21 of Horizon 2020 sets out the general principles for participation of Organizations from third countries and international Organizations. HORIZON 2020: The international cooperation focus
