Trends and Considerations Sample Clauses

Trends and Considerations. Over the last few years, there has been intensive discussion at EU level on the policies ruling funding of transport infrastructure. The European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council, all agree that mobility is key to quality of life and vital for EU’s competitiveness, and accordingly, transport operations and transport infrastructure are the backbone of the economy, building the links between the different stages of production chains and allowing service industries to reach their clients, as well as being a significant employer in its own right. However, all three Institutions also recognize that mobility imposes costs on society, notably due to its related negative impacts. This, together with the fact that transport markets should also function according to the rules of the Treaties, has often been considered to be in conflict with policies that aim to incentivize and facilitate transport. EU policies on funding of transport infrastructure have been clearly marked by this apparent contradiction. Two examples are provided below: o According to the European Treaties, Europe’s environmental policy shall be based on the polluter-pays principle (Article 191 of TFEU), under which the party responsible for producing pollution would be responsible for paying for the damage it may cause; however, due to the interest of the Community to facilitate transport several Directives limit Member States’ ability to charge for all external costs of transport, including for example the European Directive on the charging of heavy goods vehicles for the use of certain infrastructures (the Eurovignette Directive); o Article 107 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU establishes that any aid granted by a Member State or through State resources in any form whatsoever which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the production of certain goods shall, in so far as it affects trade between Member States, be incompatible with the internal market. There are several areas of transport infrastructure and operations where this rule is not fully applicable. Adding to this, all EU activities on regulating transport funding schemes, charging and pricing models shall be governed by the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality. In this particular topic subsidiaritry is of extremely high relevance, as the Union shall act only if and in so far as the objectives of the proposed action cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Mem...
