WHITE PAPER 2011

1. WHITE PAPER 2011 Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area Towards a competitive and resource efficient transport system Transunion Climate Change conference, 3 November 2011, Brussels Vicenç Pedret Cuscó Economic adviser DG MOVE-B European Mobility Network

2. Outline Challenges ahead A vision for the transport system of 2050  1 target and 10 benchmarks to guide policy action How to do it – 4 “i”s and 40 actions The social dimension 

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

4. 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  Transport for business – Transport as a business

5. 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 Source: PRIMES-TREMOVE and TREMOVE  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, NTUA (E3MLab)

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

7.  Ten Goals for competitive and resource efficient transport • 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 New and sustainable fuels and propulsion systems 7 Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area |

8.  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 medium-distance 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 8 Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area |

9.  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 9 Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area |

10. How to do it – 4 “i”s and 40 actions I 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. I nnovation:EU research needs to address the full cycle of research, innovation and deployment in an integrated way. Technology roadmap. I 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. I nternational: Opening up third country markets in transport services, products and investments continues to have high priority. 

11. I 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 for paperless and intelligent transport • 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

12. I 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”

13. I 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

14. 2030 – a Trans-europeancore networkPassenger railways

15. 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

16. I 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

17. S 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.

18. S 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.
