#OPSTE #ObservatoryofTransportPoliciesandStrategiesinEurope #policies # #thinktank #transport #bulletin I am happy to be part of the experts #https://lnkd.in/dgd4VDxt of the Observatory of Transport Policies and Strategies in Europe (OPSTE). OPSTE was set up in 2000 at France's initiative. The think tank TDIE (transport development intermodality environment) took over OPSTE in 2019 and is working to develop its contribution to understanding transport issues and questions as tackled by governments and economic players in the context of European integration. OPSTE will be holding a working seminar in Brussels on 28 and 29 November. The latest OPSTE publications #https://lnkd.in/dvHEHmSk For the record, after a number of bulletins devoted to the covid crisis and the recovery plans (2020-2021), the latest OPSTE bulletins have dealt with the major issues raised by the challenges of decarbonising transport and the link between European transport policy and national policies. The bulletins are in English and French: Les autorités de régulation des transports en Europe – bulletin #9 (September 2023) Décarbonation du transport routier en Europe – bulletin #8 (July 2023) Sobriété des transports : quelles traductions en Europe ? – bulletin #7 (January 2023) Décarboner le transport : un objectif primordial – bulletin #6 (December 2022) Politiques d’infrastructures en Europe – bulletin #5 (April 2022)

Something important: sustainable urban mobility plan (#SUMP) "The co-legislators embraced the idea of strengthening the urban layer of the TEN-T policy. It was therefore agreed that a sustainable urban mobility plan (#SUMP), which is a long-term, all-encompassing integrated freight and passenger mobility plan for the entire functional urban area, should be established by 2027 for each urban node. The plan could include objectives, targets and indicators underpinning the current and future performance of the urban transport system. All 424 major cities along the TEN-T network are required to develop SUMPs to promote zero-emission mobility and to increase and improve public transport and infrastructure for walking and cycling. In addition, the co-legislators maintained the obligation to have at least one multimodal freight terminal per urban node by 31 December 2040, where economically viable."

📢 Intense weeks in the EU institutions and the transport community! The Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU closed the current legislative term with yesterday’s meeting of the Transport Council. ❓ The results? Weights & Dimensions of Trucks 🤗 EU Member States were not able to find an agreement (general approach) on the cross-border traffic of longer and heavier trucks due to concerns brought forward also by UIP & other rail organisations. A progress report was published instead. Pending an agreement from Council side, the file is on hold now.  More on UIP’s concerns here ➡ https://lnkd.in/gxg2FkSF Rail Capacity 😑 The Member States adopted a general approach which runs counter to an efficient single railway system. The text weakens the proposal of the EU Commission and exploits rail capacity sub-optimally. In reaction, UIP together with RUs and shippers have issued a joint appeal for more ambition during the trilogue ➡ https://lnkd.in/eUw2qPik Combined Transport 🤔 No significant progress on the file for now. The Belgian Presidency presented a progress report yesterday, while the EU Parliament will only start its examination of the proposal after the summer break.🎯 UIP advocates for an inclusion in the future rules of: all necessary actions that will boost intermodal transport and make it more efficient, competitive & attractive. #IntermodalTransport #EU2024BE #RailFreight

A deal was agreed in Brussels last night on Trans-European Transport networks, the glue that holds Europe together. Well done to my colleague Jakop Dalunde MEP of The Greens/EFA in the European Parliament and Dominique Riquet MEP rapporteur for their work on this over the last year. Some highlights: 🚅 Rail speeds increase 🇺🇦 Ukraine connected 🌆 Focus on cities 🚞 Night-train opportunities 🚢 Shipping boost IE-EU

"The Council presidency and European Parliament's negotiators have reached a provisional agreement on a revised regulation regarding EU guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network (TEN-T). The new legislation aims to build a reliable, seamless, and high-quality transport network that ensures sustainable connectivity across Europe without physical interruptions, bottlenecks, and missing links. This network will contribute to the achievement of the EU's sustainable mobility objectives, the proper functioning of the internal market and the economic, social, and territorial cohesion of the EU. The network will be developed or upgraded step by step with the new regulation setting clear deadlines for the completion of the 3-layer TEN-T network: the core network should be completed by 2030, newly added extended core network by 2040 and comprehensive network by 2050."
