Justification: SMEs have not yet achieved a level of sustainability and competitiveness on the internal market. Many of them are capitalised and cannot access financing. The draft budget proposed by the Commission should be restored in order to provide the necessary communications equipment and services to ensure the proper functioning of the internal market and European industry, as well as the development of SMEs.

The exchange of information and communication forges closer links between SMEs, industries and internal market structures, thereby facilitating collaboration and cooperation between them.

Restore Draft Budget (DB).

Justification:It can be demonstrated that SMEs do not have sufficient access to equity financing, which means that an increased budget is needed to improve their market competitiveness. SMEs face financial difficulties from the outset, which is why they need guarantees and protection when accessing debt financing. It is necessary to improve the availability of financing and loans for SMEs, which could be achieved through an increase in the budget proposed by the Commission. Business enterprise must be encouraged and supported.

Heading:Pilot project — Smart Destinations

4

Remarks:Add following text:

A smart destination is the result of several factors, including information and communication technologies that promote an innovative territory, cooperation and co-creation, mainly by the visitant. Understanding this aspect, accessibility is one of the categories present in an intelligent tourist destination, both physically and virtual. The smarts destinations increases the quality of the experience at the destination for both the visitant and residents.

A smart city can be seen as an urban space that takes advantage of information and communication technologies and data science to answer todays challenges, namely to become more efficient in services and infrastructures management and to deliver increased quality of life to the people who lives, works or visits the city, not forgetting the support to fight climate change.

In this framework, cities authorities are under pressure and going through a digital transformation process that have been translated in the proliferation of "Smart Cities" initiatives around the world. This is part of the strategic response to the challenges and opportunities of growing urbanization and climate change altogether with the emergence of cities as a space for social and economic development framed by an urgent need for global sustainability.

This study will cover a concept of urban intelligence and its building blocks that result from the city digital transformation process, which will lead to a paradigm shift leading to the city as a platform where urban planning and management for sustainability is supported by urban analytics and real time data.

Bearing this in mind I will proposed a study with an implementation plan within a specific city/region to comply:

- Quantitative and qualitative data on tourism and smart destinations;

- Better knowledge of the impact of tourism;

- Development and creation of a European methodology of tourism analysis based on big date applied at EU level for smart destination

- Better research and development for solutions designed at EU level;

- Possibility for local testing and future applicability (implementation plan in a specific city)

Legal basis:Add following text:

Pilot project within the meaning of Article 54(2) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 (OJ L 298, 26.10.2012, p. 1).

Justification:This project aims to improve the positioning of EU as a world tourism destination, seeking new mechanisms to boost innovation in the destinations through the deployment and development of ICT in order to create different and highly competitive services. This involves first a complete study for gathering quantitative and qualitative tourism data. As result, a European methodology of tourism analysis based on urban analytics and real time date, to be applied at EU level, should be designed. This process includes an implementation plan with a specific city/region.

Heading:Pilot project — Enhanced Tourism co-operation between EU and India


Over the last decades, tourism has become one of the fastest and largest growing economic sectors in the world. International tourist arrivals have risen from 278 million in 1980 to 1 035 million in 2012 and are expected to grow by 3,3% a year on average by 2030. Europe remains the world’s number one tourist destination, accounting for half of all international tourist arrivals worldwide – with three-quarters of these in European Union (EU) countries. However, its position is being challenged by new tourist destinations in emerging economies.

As a continuation of the successful World Bridge Tourism project related to China, India - one of the other very important emerging countries - has an increasing importance in inbound and outbound tourism flow as well. However, due to the lack of available information, a preparatory study or research should be prepared. We simply lack data.

That is why the main aim of this pilot project is:

* getting some senior industry figures active on the Indian outbound (or European inbound from India) tourism market;

* concerning the new legislation of the European Commission on VISA Code, widen the ‘visas + promoting Europe in long-haul markets’ discussion;

* study visits of tour operators and service providers;

* conferences in Europe and in India;

* training the trainers, development of training material on cultural issues (behaviour, how to adjust customs, time tables, etc.), special needs regarding accommodation, cuisine, programme elements, etc;

* setting up a dedicated website as an EU-wide source of information with different versions for different audiences;

* a series of high level meetings on the legal framework for Indian-European tourism relations - focus on making it easier for tourists to come but making sure they go back.

Justification:As a continuation of the successful World Bridge Tourism project related to China, India - one of the other very important emerging countries - has an increasing importance in inbound and outbound tourism flow as well. However, due to the lack of available information, a preparatory study or research should be prepared to have a detailed picture on the tourism flow. And it is needed to name this EU-India project in the Commission activities.

Heading:Preparatory action - Independent on-road RDE testing to ensure broad information and transparency for better market surveillance


As a follow-up to the existing PP 02 03 77 07, and having regard to paragraph 40 of the European Parliament recommendation of 4 April 2017 to the Council and the Commission following the inquiry

7

into emission measurements in the automotive sector (P8_TA(2017) 100), this preparatory action will continue to fund measures relating real driving emissions (RDE) by third-party testing in relation to the transposition of the Regulation (EC) No 715/2007.

In the past, qualified third parties provided authorities at Union and national level with reliable information on the emission behaviour of vehicles. That information was rarely made available by the responsible authorities. Funding should be made available to allow them to provide reliable data from on-road emissions testing of passenger cars which is independent of the data provided by manufacturers and the regulatory authorities in order to promote transparency and improve market surveillance.

The third parties will use validated test procedures by referring to the provisions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 including the four RDE packages and the guidelines outlined in the Commission notice of 26 January 2017. They will publish the results of their measurements in order to support the development of best practice procedures and the provision of broader information to the responsible authorities and the public..

The focus of the work will be on lifetime compliance that can be assessed by testing vehicles that are beyond the parameters regulated currently by either in-service conformity, or market surveillance, i.e. vehicles with more than 5 years of age or 100.000 km of use. Such testing will provide extremely useful information on the quality of current emission control systems and will help in providing necessary information for the development of the new legislative proposal on emissions. The testing should include Real Driving Emissions tests and tests in the laboratory with aged vehicles, and include measurement of all possible pollutants, including those not currently regulated.

Independent third parties will thus contribute to better oversight on how exhaust standards are preforming in practice and to what extent the Union’s objectives in terms of air quality and climate policy are being achieved. They will contribute to a broader understanding of exhaust reduction strategies with regard to acceleration, high speed, ambient temperature and other criteria. Their specific test procedure will be documented transparently and should take into account current rules on RDE and the latest research.


Preparatory action within the meaning of Article 54(2) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 (OJ L 298, 26.10.2012, p. 1).

Justification:Convertion and enlargement of an important pilot project to a preparatory action to continue providing funding for third parties to carry out in-service conformity checks by independent and transparent testing in relation to the transposition of the Regulation (EC) No 715/2007.

Justification:The budget proposed by the Commission needs to be increased as transport and other SMEs need funding in order to innovate, improve service quality and compete on the market. SMEs need capital to be able to offer innovative products to European consumers and financial obstacles to their development and growth must be removed. The higher the quality of products / services offered, the greater the investments that SMEs have to make, necessitating an increased budget.

Heading:Pilot project — Aviation resilience to GNSS jamming and spoofing

9


The objective of this project is to analyse the threat of GNSS jamming and cyber-attacks to aviation operation as well as to identify mitigation measures.

Aviation resilience to GNSS jamming and cyber-threats is a two-year project to be led by EASA in coordination with European partners to ensure safety civilian flights by setting integrated security measures and jamming proof mechanisms. The project should identify good practices for regulators and operators, and provide policy guidance for the benefit of the security of the GNSS system and possible future initiatives in the area of aviation security.

The project shall also address GNSS/PNT equipment (most notably receivers) with installation and operation strategies that can be implemented for current equipment and strategies that can result in more resilient new and/or improved products.

Moreover, the project shall assess whether the proposed strategies are applicable to other non-aviation domains.



Justification:Aviation security experts have been warning for years about the hazards that simple and complex GNSS jamming and cyber-threats pose to civil aviation safety. The Russian military has invested heavily in electronic warfare gear in recent years to shut down FM, SATCOM, ADS-B signal, cellular, GPS and other signals. Some MS, in particular in the Nordic region, have reported a growing number of safety incidents due to GNSS jamming.

The budget proposed by the Commission must be restored in order to eliminate railway bottlenecks and improve services on cross-border sections. European infrastructure needs to be updated and improved, especially in the outlying areas and in Eastern Europe, in order to ensure a connected Union, a project which requires major investments. Obsolete rail networks need to be improved in order to ensure a properly functioning rail transport system and safe passenger services.

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with points (b), (e) and (f) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget of the Union.

The amounts repaid in accordance with Article 17 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/715 of 18 December 2018 on the framework financial regulation for the bodies set up under the TFEU and Euratom Treaty and referred to in Article 70 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 122, 10.5.2019, p. 1) constitute assigned revenue (point (b) of Article 21(3) of the Financial Regulation) to be charged to Item 6 6 0 0 of the general statement of revenue

The Union contribution for 2020 amounts to a total of EUR 37 954 000.

Legal basis:Delete following text:

Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 February 2008 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Aviation Safety Agency (OJ L 79, 19.3.2008, p. 1).

Regulation (EC) No 1108/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 amending Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 in the field of aerodromes, air traffic management and air navigation services and repealing Directive 2006/23/EC (OJ L 309, 24.11.2009, p. 51).

Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2018 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Union Aviation Safety Agency, and amending Regulations (EC) No 2111/2005, (EC) No 1008/2008, (EU) No 996/2010, (EU) No 376/2014 and Directives 2014/30/EU and 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 552/2004 and (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 (OJ L 212, 22.8.2018, p. 1).

Justification:The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is responsible for the certification of aircraft and pilots at EU level, which should be under the responsibility of the aviation authorities of each Member State. It is one of the instruments for implementing the Single European Sky, which furthers the privatisation and deregulation of national aviation services and runs counter to the strategic sovereignty of peoples.

This appropriation is intended to cover the Agency’s staff and administrative expenditure (Titles 1 and 2), and operational expenditure relating to the work programme (Title 3) with the exception of anti-pollution measures (see Item 06 02 03 02).


The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this item. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with points (b), (e) and (f) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget of the Union.

The amounts repaid in accordance with Article 17 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/715 of 18 December 2018 on the framework financial regulation for the bodies set up under the TFEU and Euratom Treaty and referred to in Article 70 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 122, 10.5.2019, p. 1) constitute assigned revenue (point (b) of Article 21(3) of the Financial Regulation) to be charged to Item 6 6 0 0 of the general statement of revenue.

The Union contribution for 2020 including anti-pollution measures amounts to a total of EUR 79 434 610. An amount of EUR 6 029 204 coming from the recovery of surplus is added to the amount of EUR 73 405 406 entered in the budget.


Regulation (EC) No 1406/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 June 2002 establishing a European Maritime Safety Agency (OJ L 208, 5.8.2002, p. 1).

Justification:The competences of this agency overlap with the activities of national bodies that manage Member States' respective maritime areas and exclusive economic zones. This takes sovereignty away from the Member States and undermines national authorities, thus effectively reducing their ability to act. The fact that this agency plays a part in Coast Guard activities makes its action all the more aggressive and detrimental to the sovereignty of the Member States.

Justification:In the light of th revision of the road transport legislation, the smart tacograph is the most appropriate device for a proper implementation of the legislation. However, the cost of a smart tachograph and the fact that its production has not started are barriers to a needed fast deployment in all vehicles. Taking into account the widespread use of the smartphones, a certified application could considerably fasten the use of a smart-tachograph like device as well as lower the cost of its deployment.

Heading:Pilot project – 'Free Public Transport – Effects and Reproducibility' study


More than 50 cities in the EU have introduced free public transport systems, which has led to increased passenger numbers and considerably reduced motor traffic, making some investments in new roads

23

unnecessary. This pilot project proposes a study on the consequences of introducing such systems in terms of passenger numbers, journey length and accident and casualty numbers, for example, and on their effect on climate change. The study must also be used to develop an action plan, with the strategies to be followed by different cities, so that it can be reproduced.



Justification:The current dependence on oil and the need to improve our cities'

mobility and resilience to climate change make more sustainable, public-transport-based

travel essential. The growing number of cities around the world that promote free public transport

shows the positive impact that such action has on urban mobility,

climate change and global sustainability.

A study must be carried out on the effects of these free systems and on whether they can be reproduced

in other contexts.

Heading:Pilot project – Introduction of single and multimodal ticketing systems


Urban mobility, where it concerns the diversity of public transport, must play its part in reducing the length of commutes (between work and home), ensuring interoperability, making public transport more attractive to populations and reducing the prevalence of private transport, thus furthering environmental and climatic sustainability and the development of society. Integrated transport systems, including with regard to ticket issuing, will be necessary for those goals to be achieved. Some metropolitan areas in the EU do not follow this principle and have dispersed transport systems and chaotic ticketing systems (some cities sell thousands of different tickets), which makes the use of public transport more complicated, as it becomes more expensive and less attractive. The purpose of this pilot project is to highlight situations in which public transport ticketing is complex and to propose an action plan for the introduction of a single and multimodal ticketing system.

24



Justification:Some metropolitan areas in the EU do not follow the most sustainable practices with regard to public transport. Their transport systems are dispersed and their ticketing chaotic – in some cities, thousands of different ticket types are on offer. This makes the use of public transport more complicated, as it becomes more expensive and less attractive, increases the need for private transport, worsens gas emissions and reduces the operability of urban mobility. Systems such as the one above must, therefore, be created.

Heading:Pilot project — Safe cars for ours kids. A feasibility study on the introduction of automatic alarm devices as mandatory systems on vehicles in order to prevent child abandonment.


The pressing rhythms of today's society have increased the number of cases of amnesia or memory blackouts, which have lead to tragedy, like forgetting a child in the car with the consequent serious danger to his or her life.

Currently, there are on the market devices that detect the presence of the baby on the child-seat and other new devices are under development. The phenomenon of babies forgotten in cars is becoming more relevant and object of research and technological innovations. The goal is to ensure that the car is a safe place for the babies.

There is a need of new security systems and new standards. Citizens and manufacturers should be all involved in designing them. In particular, the automotive sector should improve the seat belts reminders using a combination of visual and sound signal, and also focusing on back and child seats and on the development of devices capable of promptly attracting the attention of the driver or of any person outside the vehicle through visual, sound and haptic signals which can be perceived inside and outside the vehicle.

This preparatory action aims at requesting the launch of a feasibility study on the design of new automatic "anti-child abandonment" devices on cars, which are reliable, safe and capable of operating in all conditions. Devices that have technical-constructive and functional characteristics that comply with EU regulations.

25

The car manufacturers should be obliged by the EU to equip new-registered cars with anti-child abandonment devices, which should not require any maintenance or installation, should not depend on other independent objects or devices and above all it should not have a high cost to avoid economic barriers to child safety.



Justification:Dissociative amnesia is a disorder whose main manifestation consists of one or more episodes of inability to remember important information belonging to the personal sphere. It can happen to anyone and the signs of this disorder can vary.

This disorder leads to a real "black-out", which can however have dramatic consequences. Starting from this premise, calls the European Commission to launch a feasibility study on the design of new anti-child abandonment systems, as well as to introduce an obligation for car manufacturers to include this protection system as a standard device.

Heading:Pilot project — IWT harmonized rules


Inland waterway transport (IWT) is an integral part of the European logistics ecosystem. Additionally, it is primarily cross-border and a European priority. In the ‘White Paper on Transport’ of 2011, the Commission stated the objective of shifting 30% of road freight over 300 km to ‘environmentally friendly modes of transport’ by 2030 and 50% by 2050. One such mode involves IWT.

The IWT sector still experiences sizeable obstacles when it comes to a lack of harmonisation of rules between Member states as well as excessive administrative burdens. IWT rules are also being implemented incorrectly or not implemented at all, leading to a fragmentation of rules and practices.

In order to tackle these problems, a set of guidelines outlining measures to streamline European rules for navigation practices and remove administrative burdens in the IWT sector across Member States is needed. Such guidelines would describe how Member States can remove the current burdens in the IWT sector and rectify improperly implemented rules. This will support IWT crossing multiple waterway areas

26

- for instance from the Rhine to the Main to the Danube - and will allow European IWT to become more economically viable, and thus more competitive and logistically relevant.



Justification:The European Union has been expanded with the accession of various inland navigation countries' systems - Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. This expansion has made the institutional, adminisrative and technical issues in inland navigation more pressing. Progress in harmonisation of legislative framework in Europe, particularly in the field of technical, safety and manning regulations, has been considerable, but it is not enough. As traffic across waterways is more and more viable, this harmonisation becomes essential.

Heading:Pilot project — Eco labelling for aviation / Demonstration project for the introduction of a voluntary Green Label system in Aviation based on EASA Eco Portal.


This project shall aim to allow easily accessible information on aviation’s environmental performance, ideally from a neutral and independent source, to the travelling public and people living near airports.

In the same way European citizens are informed about organic products, passengers will be informed of the green record of aircraft and airlines. The project will look in the green record at aircraft level (noise and emissions) as well as air carrier level (Green House Gas emissions, particulate matter emissions, offsetting and sustainable (‘bio’) fuels, aircraft noise) as well as operational measures.

The main activities will be on developing governance, metrics, communication design and the IT platform ecoPortal. The latter is an existing IT platform that will be expanded to include emissions, fleet and operational data to support the label activity.

The system will also allow airports to rank airlines by environmental performance to provide local incentives.

27



Justification:Modern aircrafts show significant improvements in environmental performance. Between 2005 and 2017 the fuel efficiency of air traffic in Europe increased by 24 %. Noise per operation decreased by 14 %. While these significant technological improvements are well known within the industry, they are not visible to passengers and the public. At the same time, aviation is increasingly in the spotlight from an environmental perspective. The purpose of including aviation into the Eco-Label is to inform stakeholders and consumers that flying is safe for people and environment impact.

Heading:Pilot project — Revitalisation of cross-border night trains


In view of the Commission's policy priorities to 'revitalise rail' and construct a 'single European railway area', to achieve 'modal shift' and also in view of the pressing need to find alternatives to medium-haul flights and to meet international climate targets, the focus of this pilot project is to analyse, study and formulate concrete policy recommendations that would help companies to establish viable international train services, in particular high speed and night-train services, including via the legislation on public service provision.

The project would involve a comprehensive analysis of companies' new international services (high-speed but in particular night train) offers and their most recent experiences and perceived difficulties, including the aspects of ticketing, potential difficulties with concluding international public service contracts and the procurement and financing for upgrades and maintenance of rolling stock.



28

Justification:Achieving the European and international climate targets while restoring fair competition amongst mode of transports requires multiple measures to shift transport to rail. Night trains are part and parcel of this approach.

Heading:Pilot project — Transport innovations for elderly people


A vast body of research focuses on demographic change and population ageing. New terms like ‘greying’ of society and silver economy amplified in the European Union have become commonplace. A number of studies examine traditional approaches to the problem and focus of transport need for older people. Findings suggest, increased access to efficient and effective transport services is closely associated with a better quality of life. As such, travel tendency and flexibility change pending older persons’ need, preference and behaviour. It can be observed that most of the studies explore how transport innovation best facilitate mobility for the elderly, in which, surprisingly, there is a lack of investigation for the opposite (i.e., how and which new solutions may change older people’s mobility patterns and then, eventually, influence future infrastructure development). This study should focus on all fields of transport innovation and correlate significant socially-oriented data with elderly persons’ requirements but also their rate of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) knowledge. It is clear that implementing, incorporating, administering and promoting transport innovation for the elderly will require context-specific expertise, information and knowledge offered via an interdisciplinary array of sectors society-wide. Therefore, this project requires both surveys among elderly people and interviews with different groups of stakeholders in the EU passenger transport market.

The main aims of this project are following:

to synthesize findings on varying transport needs of elderly people in the EU (i.e., accessibility, affordability, availability and acceptability);

to synthesize findings on innovation types for elderly people (i.e., vehicle, infrastructure and organisation) from relevant literature and review of real solutions in the European countries;

to identify best practices and barriers;

to review current EU policy in this area and to determine main gaps and needs;

to provide indicators and recommendations regarding design, planning and management of transport innovation for the elderly;

to identify disruptive (and other) innovations that can change mobility patterns of elderly people;

29

to provide policy recommendations.



Justification:The project responds to challenges of demographic change and ageing. At the EU institutions level, a number of reports have been produced recently on the conditions and the need for action in relation to the mobility of older people, e.g. it is a discussion on wide scale implementation of driverless vehicles or the initiative ‘Europe, the best destination for seniors’ is promoted. However, still new comprehensive actions should be supported via an integrated approach that embraced the interrelationship between transport innovations and changing travel patterns of elderly people.

Heading:Pilot project — Capacity for greening of European sea ports


One of the directions of activities undertaken by port authorities that has been gaining momentum in recent times has been to determine such a set of development activities and investments which would on the one hand provide the expected technical and organizational condition for future port operations, while on the other hand, would take into account various social and environmental requirements to maintain or improve the level of quality of these two areas. The aim of the project is to present the research on the level of awareness and behaviour of European ports in the field of sustaining the development, and the Green Port Concept (GPC) in particular. A hypothesis has been formulated that the introduction of the GPC to the development strategy of European sea ports will improve their environmental relations and will support the competitiveness of European sea ports. The survey results will allow identifying the directions of activities for the development of green ports and undertaking research to construct a package of instruments that will support these activities. Thus, it will be possible to target the development strategies of European sea ports in line with the GPC.

Outcome/possible evolution of the project

Due to the wide potential for using the research results, the authors have plans for a series of activities intended to publicize the research results, including: a report on the quantitative survey; a series of scientific articles; monograph.

30

Innovative/experimental nature of the project

The authors of this project propose to use to conduct a survey (the first of its kind in Europe) on the perception of EU port authorities activities in the area of sustainable development of GPC. As next, the dependencies between actions undertaken and economic performance of the sea port will be delivered. The new knowledge collected in the project will establish new, complex and interdisciplinary approach to the organization and operation of a sea port for a business implementation. Moreover, any port will be able to be assessed, to how extent it is already realizing the green port concept and, as next, which kind of actions should be introduced to follow the direction and to proceed with the greening of the port. This should be the base for further Green Port Assessment development with appropriate measurements and their values according to the GPC goals.

The maritime sector is witnessing heightened activity focusing on the sustainable development of sea ports. This activity covers the two main areas of their external operations, i.e. reducing the negative environmental impact of port investment and operational activity and the relations of ports with their surroundings. The social responsibility of sea ports is a tool with which to make a difference, especially in the latter area. At the same time, port management bodies and municipal authorities are increasingly showing interest in both of these areas. The ‘greenness’ of ports and their community relations are checked yearly through competitions and ranking tables (e.g. Green Port Awards).



Justification:A noteworthy fact is that entire maritime economy sector concentrated around sea ports is now working towards sustainable development as envisioned in ‘green port’ theory. The ‘green theory’ is taken to include all areas of port operations comprising relations with the surroundings, impact on the natural environment and macro-economic regional and national growth. Consequently, academic endeavours should have a three-pronged approach addressing the (port) economy, (port-and-sea) community and the (land-and-sea) environment. The science at present falls short of this goal.

Heading:Pilot project — Urban mobility interconnection with air transport infrastructure

31


This project will be implemented in the form of a study and shall be designed to ensure the best interconnection between city centres and airports. While some airports are located at the close periphery of some big cities, some smaller airports are sometimes far away. Urban mobility should be investigated as possible solution for shortage of infrastructure capacity while taking into account the environmental dimension such as local air quality and noise. Traffic management as well as other technological options will also be assessed.

The study will also address the issue of long distance high speed railway connections to/between airports and urban areas.



Justification:The idea is to facilitate the travelling experience for passengers by allocating them specific conventional means as well as other non-traditional systems like electrical or hybrid aircraft (e.g.: gyrocopter) which are expected in the very near future to contribute to local mobility. Moreover, industry has developed prototypes, which require to be certified.

This project will also contribute to reduce the environmental impact created by inefficient public transportation connections with airports and prevent traffic jams around them.

Heading:Preparatory action — Charter of good practices for cruises


Europe is a key market for the global cruise industry. In 2015 the global cruise industry generated 25.3 million passengers, representing 956.597 jobs, with a total output arising to 117 billion dolars worldwide. The demand for cruising has increased 62% in the last ten years, from 2005-2015.

All of this translates into economic value and jobs for Europe. However, the Coastal and Maritime Regions need to create conditions to better integrate the advantages of the Cruise Tourism. Bearing this in mind this Pilot Project intends to create a Charter of Good Practices for Cruises within the already existing pan European dialogue between cruise operators, ports and coastal tourism stakeholders. The focus must be on the environmental impact on the reception of the cruises, but also the social impact and the way the reception facilities of the Ports and the regions should be adapted. This Charter would have the following content:

- Design a process to integrate all the maritime stakeholders involved;

- Environmental aspect and mitigation policies to reduce the externalities;

- Social and Economic dimension of the cruises in the Regions;

-The need to coordinate between the cruise port and the city

-Best practices already in place

This Charter will allow to reduce externalities from Cruise activities and trigger more economic and social benefits to the city and citizens. One example can be the exchange of best practices on managing congestions that occur in peak season. This Charter would also help enhancing mutual understanding between the Cruise Port and city authorities. Moreover, the scope of the charterl needs to cover also possible environmental impact of the cruise services. Apart from these, it will help to raise awareness on the best practices already in place in different cruise ports in order to avoid duplication


Preparatory action within the meaning of Article 54(2) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 (OJ L 298, 26.10.2012, p. 1).

Justification:This PA allows Cruise Tourism stakeholders and operators embrace a Charter of Good Practices, with a special focus on the environmental impacts in the regions, which does not exist at Union level. At the same time, this will reinforce the existing pan European dialogue between cruise operators, ports and coastal tourism stakeholders.
