What do you think about it?

• The objective of an EU sustainable transport
  policy is that our transport systems meet
  societys economic, social and environmental
  needs. Effective transportation systems are
  essential to Europes prosperity, having
  significant impacts on economic growth, social
  development and the environment.

5
The are reasons for interventions from the
government

• Costs may act barrier to trade public interest
• Market failure (could operate ineficiently)
  natural monopol

gtgtgt one of common policiesltltlt
6
Forms of Public Intervention in Transport

• Responsibility for the infrastructure
• Providing services that run under control with
  subsidies
• Introducing legislation to regulate the sector

7
History of Transport in Europe

• Treaty of Rome 1957 common condition and rules
  appliciable to the internal transport, conditions
  for operating in other member states and measures
  to provide safety
• But untill 80s there were no important changes
• Boom in 80s international trend to liberalize
  transport sector

8
The developement of Transport policy since 1992

• 1992 White paper The future developement of
  the common transport policy remove distortion
  and implement Single market, liberalization
• 1993 Maasrticht treaty - Laid the basis for
  transeuropean networks (TENs), to improve
  transport, energy and telecommunication
  infrastructure
• 1997 Amsterdam treaty all decision must be
  taken in behalf of environment
• 2001 White paper European transport policy to
  2010 time to decide
•          improving road safety
•          encouraging sustainable mobility
•          high quality urban transportion
•          Galileo, Europes satellite
  radionavigation system and others
• reinforcing passengers rights

Topic
18
Traffic has a lot of impacts

• Estimated enviromental costs 1,1 of GDP (air
  pollution, greenhouse effect)
• Road congestion costs EU about 1 of GDP
• Conflict of Goals Enviromental Regulations and
  mobility
• Safety in Transport especial in Road transport
  41600 deaths and more than 1.7 millions injured
  in 2005

20
Sustainable mobility in the internal market
connecting Europeans

• Instrument which brings growth and jobs
• The aim is not only to create an internal market
  in legal terms but also to work together with
  users and providers to help to make it an
  industrial reality

21
The objectives in land transport

• ROAD
• Since 1995 exist Cabotage carriage of goods is
  provided from haulier from another country
• Barrier is fuel tax differences decrease
  competitiveness

• RAIL
• Tackle remaining structural obstacles
• Necessary to open rail market in the whole EU
• Finish TENs

22
The objectives in Aviation

• Motor for growth
• The internal market has brought considerable
  benefits for customers.
• Create broader internal market to improve the
  performance such as airport and air navigation
  services.
• Create strong infrastructures both in the air and
  on the ground, necessary investments in airport
  capacity
• Reduce the negative environmental effects

23
The European Single Sky

• Video

24
The objectives in waterborne transport

• Maritime
• the maritime sector is proving to be a valuable
  alternative to land transport
• Stronger potential than roads
• Create port policy investment are needed

• Inland waterways
• account for only 3 offreight transport overall
• NAIADES promoting river transport, modernising
  and integrating river market

Sustainable mobility for citizens reliable,
safe and secure transport

• Employment
• More than 10 mil. jobs
• Action Motivate qualified young people
• Passengers rights
• Aviation travel rights have been strenghened
• Forthcoming legislation rail, sea, coach
• Increasing effective access for people with
  reduced mobility

27
Sustainable mobility for citizens reliable,
safe and secure transport

• Safety
• Major progress maritime, aviation
• High number of road fatalities - improve vehicle
  design and technology road infrastructure and
  driver behaviour
• Security
• Terrorist threat aviation, maritime transport
• International cooperation
• Urban transport
• Very important, very pollutant

• Reducing EU dependency on fuel imports
• Transport responsible for 70 of all
• oil consumption within the EU
• (Road transport 60 Air Transport 9 )

30
Transport and Energy - Measures

• Research in cleaner vehicles (e.g., Hybrid
  Propulsion)
• Research in biofuels
• First generation Crops (sugar beet and rapeseed)
• Second generation new technologies to convert
  biomass to liquid
• Research in Hydrogen as fuel

Optimising Infrastructure

• Two challenges
• Reducing Congestion
• Increasing accessibility
• Measures
• Encourage investments in new or improved
  infrastructure
• Eliminate bottlenecks
• Enable co-modal transport solutions (Marco Polo
  Programme 2003)
• Connect outermost regions to mainland
• GALILEO project
• Maximize investments in projects with the biggest
  benefit for the EU

34
Who pays for that?

• Cost-by-Cause Principle and Territorial
  Principle
• Charging for the use of infrastructure
• Congestion charge in London
• Maut motorway charge for commercial vehicles in
  Germany
• EU plans for financing
• intodruce an EU methodology for infrastructure
  charging
• This may lead to a market for private investors
  in infrastructure

36
How to develope intelligent mobility

• gtgtgt cut costs, protect environment ltltlt
• Trends needs to be matched by public policies
  (remove obstacles to comodality, stimulate
  laerning, promote standardisation)
• New technologies will provide new services
  comfort, safety, security, environment
• Galileo satellite system provides navigation
  signals with ground- or space-based communication

37
Other initiatives are already on the way

• Intelligent Car Initiative27 to promote new
  technologies in vehicles through coordination of
  stakeholder actions
• Research in Intelligent Vehicle Systems
• SESAR programme, to introduce the most modern
  technologies to air traffic management within the
  European Single Sky
• The ERTMS system will bring similar advantages to
  the rail sector
• The River Information Services system is already
  being deployed on the main European corridors.

• Rail transport rail market monitoring including
  a scoreboard
• River transport start implementing NAIADES
  action plan
• Maritime transport European ports policy
• Aviation review and complete single sky
  framework and create SESAR undertaking
• Trans-European networks identification of the
  multiannual investment programme up to 2013

40
An overview about the actions planned in the next
few years

• 2008
• Maritime transport White Paper on a common
  European maritime space
• Smart charging for infrastructure EU methodology
  for infrastructure charging
• Urban transport follow-up of Green Paper
• Security review rules in air and maritime
  transport examine security regime for land and
  transport
• 2009

  international organisations
• Maritime transport deploy e-maritime systems
• Galileo start of the concession

41
On a continuing basis

• Energy use in transport
• Employment and working conditions professions and
  training
• Safety promote road safety through vehicle
  design, research and technology, infrastructure
  and behaviour, and continue the Intelligent Car
  and eSafety initiatives
• Infrastructure ensure balanced approach to
  land-use planning mobilise all sources of
  financing
• Technology RTD and support to dissemination,
  exploitation and market penetration
• Galileo build-up of the Galileo Supervisory
  Authority
• Global dimension develop external relations

42
Does Europe really need all this?

• The globalization will lead to an increased
  transport appearance
• To stay ahead in world-wide competition Europe
  needs to have an up-to-date transport policy
• Therefore a permanent dialogue is essential
