TRAN
17 amendments...
Amendment 90 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 (4) Growth in traffic has resulted in increased congestion on international transport corridors. In order to ensure the international mobility of goods and passengers, the capacity of the trans- European transport network and the use of this capacity should be optimised and, if necessary, expanded by removing infrastructure bottlenecks and bridging missing infrastructure links within and between Member States and towards the countries of the Balkan peninsula, with a view to the accession of Croatia to the Union in 2013 and the negotiations under way with other candidate countries and potential candidates from the same geographical area.
Amendment 110 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 11 (11) The core network should be identified and implemented as a priority within the framework provided by the comprehensive network by 2030. It should constitute the backbone of the development of a multi- modal transport network and stimulate the development of the entire comprehensive network. It should enable Union action to concentrate on those components of the trans-European transport network with the highest European added value, in particular cross-border sections, missing links, last- mile connections, multi-
Amendment 132 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 16 (16) Cooperation with neighbouring and third countries is necessary to ensure connection and interoperability between the respective infrastructure networks. Therefore the Union should, where appropriate, promote projects of mutual interest with those countries, giving priority to projects with countries undergoing the accession process to join the Union, candidate countries and potential candidates, so that they can integrate more rapidly within the Union. These projects should seek to develop the trans-European transport network by avoiding traffic congestion on existing infrastructure and ensuring a balanced growth of the network, which should include improved integration of logistics and connections in the Mediterranean area, with a view to giving that area a key role once again.

2011/0391(COD) Allocation of slots at EU airports: common rules. Recast
2012/09/17
TRAN
40 amendments...
Amendment 44 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 (4) The slot allocation system established in 1993 does not ensure the optimum allocation and use of slots and thus of airport capacity. In the context of growing airport congestion and the limited development of major new airport infrastructure, the slots are a rare resource. Access to such resources is of crucial importance for the provision of air transport services and for the maintenance of effective competition. To this end, the allocation and use of slots could be made more effective by introducing market mechanisms, by ensuring that the unused slots are made available to interested operators as soon as possible and in a transparent manner, and by reinforcing the underlying principles of the system with regard to the allocation, management and use of the slots. At the same time,

Amendment 53 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 12 (12) Situations where, owing to a lack of available slots, the benefits of liberalisation are unevenly spread and competition is distorted,
Amendment 56 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 13 (13) The progress made in implementing the Single European Sky has a major impact on the slot allocation process. The imposition of performance plans, which make the airports, the air navigation service providers and airspace users subject to performance improvement and monitoring measures, and the network management function, based on the establishment of a European network of routes and a central air traffic management, means it is necessary to update the slot allocation rules. It is therefore necessary to create an adequate framework allowing the network manager, the performance evaluation body and the national supervisory authorities to participate in the procedure of setting the airport capacity and coordination parameters.
Amendment 61 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 16 (16) Additional obligations should be introduced for air carriers with regard to sending information to the coordinators. Provision should be made for additional penalties for omitting information or sending false or misleading information. For

Proposal for a regulation Recital 17 (17) The Union should facilitate cooperation between the coordinators and schedules facilitators to allow them to exchange best practices with a view to the establishment of a European coordinator
Amendment 65 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 21 (21) The period of validity for a series of slots should be limited to the schedule planning period for which the series is granted. The priority for allocating a series of slots, even historical slots, should come from the allocation or confirmation by the coordinator and should be based on compliance with all the rules under this Regulation governing slot allocation and enabling that slot allocation to continue into the next scheduling season.
Amendment 70 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 23 (23) Since the environmental aspects may be taken into account in the coordination parameters and regional connectivity can also be fully ensured in the context of the public service obligations, experience has not shown that local rules are useful. Furthermore, it cannot be excluded that such rules do not lead to discrimination in allocating slots. Consequently, the option of resorting to local rules should be restricted. All the technical, operational, performance and environmental constraints that should be applied by the coordinators or the facilitators should be defined in the coordination parameters. The resort to local rules would also be reduced to supervising the use of slots and the possibility of
Amendment 76 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 24 (24) To allow air carriers to adapt to imperative situations of urgency, such as a marked decline in traffic or an economic crisis that severely affects the activity of air carriers, affecting a lager part of the scheduling period, the Commission should be allowed to adopt urgent measures to ensure the consistency of measures to be taken at coordinated airports. These measures will allow the Commission to lower the time slot use threshold to under 85%, thereby enabling air carriers to retain priority in allocating the same series for the

Proposal for a regulation Article 5 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 1 – point b – point ii a (new) iia) to that end, the coordinator or schedules facilitator, whether as a natural or legal person, must not have been employed by, or worked regularly with, the airport managing body or a service provider or airline company operating at/from the airport in question for the two years preceding their appointment and for two years from the end of their duties as a coordinator or schedules facilitator.

Stresses that public funding for regional airports should be compatible with Articles 106 and 107 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, relating to state aid; considers also that airlines which receive public funding for regional airports directly or indirectly should be required to remain in the airport for a length of time directly proportional to the ratio between the amount of funding provided and the airport’s passenger volume; Provision should be made for a system of penalties to be applied to airlines which move out of regional airports in receipt of funding before the appointed date;
Amendment 60 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 3 a (new) 3a. Considers that checks relating to restrictions on luggage weight and size should only be made at check-in or during security checks and not on arrival at the gate

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 3 b (new) 3b. Considers that goods transport is a positive factor for regional airports which can further development and jobs, not least through the establishment of related ground services and of businesses linked to regional airports; calls on the Commission to draw up a strategy that will promote goods transport and facilitate cooperation between neighbouring regional airports;
Amendment 77 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 a (new) 6a. Calls on the Commission, given that major hub airports are close to maximum capacity, to draw up a strategy for the allocation of regional airport slots in order to attract new airlines, and promote competition, decongestion of major airports and the development of regional airports;
Amendment 92 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 9 9. Regrets that regional airports situated away from urban centres are often not adequately connected to the transport network on the ground; considers that an adequate network of links between regional airports, rail transport and road transport is essential to the development of the airports themselves and the surrounding region; calls on the Commission to draw up a strategy to promote intermodal transport and the linking up of regional airports with the TEN-T networks;

Amendment 149 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 20 20. Notes the tendency of certain air carriers, especially low cost carriers (LCCs), to add unavoidable charges on to the headline price of air tickets, such as charges for the use of debit or credit cards, which are charges deriving from the application of Community legislation that airlines pass on to passengers; is concerned that, as a result, some passengers may be deterred from using regional air services; wishes to see special attention paid to the impact of this practice on regional air services during the revision of air passenger rights;

2012/04/06
TRAN
13 amendments...
Amendment 27 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 3 3. Is aware that there are structural differences within individual transport modes and that a single cross-cutting regulation on passenger rights as a whole cannot be drawn up at present, because the regulations on passenger rights in waterborne and bus and coach transport have not yet entered into force; considers, however, that it is important to establish models which can be used as a benchmark;
Amendment 31 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 4 4. Therefore calls on the Commission, at this stage, to draw up guidelines on the application and implementation of rights in all transport modes, which should not
Amendment 37 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 5. Welcomes the Commission’s decision to continue its information campaign on passenger rights until 2014; recommends that national consumer protection authorities and agencies be involved in the campaign, since they can do a great deal to educate passengers about their rights (for instance by producing literature for travel agencies or web content); likewise, considers it important to involve passengers by setting up offices where they can send suggestions and proposals;
Amendment 54 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 6.

Amendment 63 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 7 7.

Amendment 64 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 7 bis (new) 7a.

Amendment 98 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 11 11. Calls on the Commission to enable the current law on price transparency and unfair commercial practices to be implemented and enforced effectively, in accordance with Directive 2011/83/EC, and to ensure that the headline price corresponds exactly to the final price and that no unreasonable extra costs (e.g. handling charges or a charge for payment by credit card) are added just before a purchase is made; considers, furthermore, that the websites of many transport companies are still rather unclear and can mislead consumers when they are booking tickets;
Amendment 136 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 15 15.

Amendment 216 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 23 23. Maintains that carriers must improve the quality of assistance to people with disabilities or reduced mobility and train their staff to be more aware of the needs of people in those categories; takes the view that although much progress has been made in the quality of assistance there are still too many architectural barriers which prevent people with reduced mobility from fully benefiting from services;
Amendment 229 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 25 25. Urges the industry to develop a clear system for ‘through tickets’ (i.e. transport contracts for several legs of a journey using the same mode) and integrated tickets (i.e. contracts for intermodal transport chains); draws attention in this connection to the Rail Regulation, which requires computer- assisted information and reservation systems to be adapted to common standards so as to enable travel information and ticketing services to be organised on an EU-wide basis; calls on the Member States to equip themselves with facilities to ensure the efficient multimodal boarding of baggage, also by standardising the rules on security checks in the various modes of transport;
