In the European Commission's communications, returning policy objectives are geared towards making tourism greener, more digital, more competitive and – since the COVID-19 pandemic – more resilient. The Commission has also set out several initiatives to improve the travel experience by protecting the rights of passengers and making tourism more accessible for people with disabilities. In addition, the EU makes use of digital tools for issuing or refusing travel authorisations, processing biometric data and protecting travellers' personal data. Furthermore, it addresses the environmental impact of tourism with legislation that encourages energy efficiency and the use of alternative fuels. It also promotes eco-friendly accommodation and little-known destinations in order to cope with overtourism. Service providers in the travel industry face several challenges and opportunities. The sector is affected, among other things, by new taxation rules. Service providers will be able to collect more reliable information on hosts and their short-term rental properties. Funding for tourism is spread across several EU programmes. Some are meant to make the sector more resilient, others to support businesses, protect the environment or encourage cultural exchange. Looking ahead, the Commission work programme for 2025 envisages amending passenger rights, digitising passports and identity cards, facilitating consular protection and protecting travellers. <br /> <br /> Quelle : <a href="/portal/de/legal-notice" >© Europäische Union, 2025 - EP</a> Dokumente - Think Tank - Europäisches Parlament Mon, 05 May 2025 22:00:00 GMT EPRS_BRI(2025)772845_DE_20250506 /thinktank/de/document/EPRS_ATA(2025)769545 Die Transeuropäische Verkehrsinfrastruktur ist für die wirtschaftliche Stabilität, Widerstandsfähigkeit und Sicherheit der EU besonders wichtig.

However, improvements in road safety fell short of the EU goals of decreasing the number of road deaths by 50 % between 2001 and 2010, and by an additional 50 % between 2011 and 2020. Directive (EU) 2015/413 facilitating cross-border exchange of information on road safety-related traffic offences – the Cross-border Enforcement (CBE) Directive – is one of the pillars of the policy framework to improve road safety in the EU. It aims to help improve road safety by tackling the relative impunity of non-resident drivers. The revision, announced in the European Commission's sustainable and smart mobility strategy in 2020, seeks to address key shortcomings in existing rules. According to Commission estimates, 40 % of cross-border offences are committed with impunity, either because the offender is not identified or because the fine is not enforced. The Commission tabled its proposal to revise the CBE Directive on 1 March 2023 as part of the road safety package. In the European ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾, the file was assigned to the Committee on Transport and Tourism (rapporteur: Kosma ZÅ‚otowski, ECR, Poland). Following interinstitutional negotiations, the ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾ and Council negotiators reached a provisional agreement on the final wording of the text on 12 March 2024. The ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾ approved the agreed text on 24 April 2024. The Council adopted the new rules on 16 December 2024 and the final act was published in the Official Journal of the EU on 30 December 2024. Fourth edition.

The proposal also seeks to achieve an improved concentration of resources and to address shortages in expertise. Within the European ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾, the Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN) handled the file, with Caroline Nagtegaal (Renew, the Netherlands) as rapporteur. The Council reached its general approach on 4 December 2023. The TRAN committee adopted its report on 7 December 2023. On 10 April 2024, ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾ adopted the provisional agreement reached with the Council on 13 February, and on 18 November, the Council then adopted ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾'s first-reading position.

It contains proposals to revise five legal acts, including the Port State Control Directive (PSCD). The aim is to update them to bring them into line with the requirements of the International Maritime Organization and the regional organisation for port state control, set up under the Paris Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The proposal refers to the inspection of foreign ships in national ports, to verify that the ships' condition complies with international regulations, including for crews. The PSCD would be extended to cover additional international rules such as new conventions on ballast water and removal of wrecks, and updated rules under the Paris MoU. It would give more importance to ships' environmental performance in determining their risk profile, and boost Member States' capacity to detect and address cases of non-compliance with standards and rules on safety, environmental protection and pollution prevention. The scope would be extended to fishing vessels. ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾'s Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN) adopted its report on 7 December 2023. On 27 February 2024, ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾ and Council reached a provisional agreement, which TRAN endorsed on 20 March 2024. On 10 April 2024, ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾ adopted the provisional agreement in plenary, concluding its first reading. On 18 November 2024, Council adopted ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾'s first-reading position. The final act was signed by the Council president and the ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾ president on 27 November 2024. The revised directive was published in the Official Journal of the EU on 16 December 2024 and will enter into force 20 days from this date. <br /> <br /> Quelle : <a href="/portal/de/legal-notice" >© Europäische Union, 2024 - EP</a> Dokumente - Think Tank - Europäisches Parlament Tue, 17 Dec 2024 23:00:00 GMT EPRS_BRI(2023)751431_DE_20241218 /thinktank/de/document/IPOL_ATA(2024)752458 ATAG to the study - Based on a comprehensive review of eleven legislative texts of the ‘Fit for 55’ package with a transport policy dimension, this study highlights the expected impacts they may produce on connectivity and mobility, encompassing the concepts of efficiency and effectiveness in the ability of passengers and goods to travel within the EU. <br /> <br /> Quelle : <a href="/portal/de/legal-notice" >© Europäische Union, 2024 - EP</a> Dokumente - Think Tank - Europäisches Parlament Mon, 25 Nov 2024 23:00:00 GMT IPOL_ATA(2024)752458_DE_20241126 /thinktank/de/document/EPRS_BRI(2020)659421 The Single European Sky (SES) initiative is about making EU airspace less fragmented and improving air traffic management in terms of safety, capacity, cost-efficiency and the environment. Its current regulatory framework is based on two legislative packages: SES I (adopted in 2004), which set up the principal legal framework, and SES II (adopted in 2009), designed to tackle substantial air traffic growth, increase safety, and reduce costs and delays and the impact of air traffic on the environment. Nonetheless, European airspace remains fragmented, costly and inefficient. The European Commission presented a revision of the SES in 2013 (the SES 2+ package). While the ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾ adopted its first-reading position in March 2014, in December 2014 the Council agreed only a partial general approach, owing to disagreement between the UK and Spain over the application of the text to Gibraltar Airport. Once Brexit removed this obstacle, the Commission amended its initial proposal. Following lengthy negotiations, the Council and ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾ negotiating teams reached a provisional agreement on 6 March 2024. The Council approved the agreed text on 26 September 2024. ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾ approved the agreed text on 22 October 2024. The final act was signed on 23 October 2024 and it was published in the Official Journal of the EU on 11 November 2024. Fifth edition of a briefing originally drafted by Maria Niestadt.

Analysing the Commission's replies in formal follow-up documents (for INIs) and in letters in reply to legislative-initiative reports (INL), this joint DG PRES and DG EPRS project seeks to support the European ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾'s scrutiny power over the Commission and to facilitate the monitoring of the European Commission's follow-up to parliamentary resolutions. The study analyses how and to what extent the Commission has reacted to ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾ resolutions in its follow-up documents, and whether it fulfilled the commitments it made in those documents. <br /> <br /> Quelle : <a href="/portal/de/legal-notice" >© Europäische Union, 2024 - EP</a> Dokumente - Think Tank - Europäisches Parlament Mon, 04 Nov 2024 23:00:00 GMT EPRS_STU(2024)762869_DE_20241105 /thinktank/de/document/EPRS_BRI(2023)749797 On 1 March 2023, as part of the road safety package, the European Commission published a legislative proposal to help ensure EU-wide application of driving disqualifications. The proposal calls for increased cooperation, harmonisation of legislation, simplification of information exchange, capacity building, and improved public awareness efforts. In order to prevent impunity due to a lack of legislation, the proposal sets out rules to allow better EU-wide enforcement of driver disqualification decisions when drivers commit major traffic offences outside their own country. In the European ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾, the Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN) is responsible for the file (rapporteur: Matteo Ricci, S&D, Italy). The TRAN committee adopted its report on 29 November 2023. On 6 February, the ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾ voted in plenary on its first-reading position on the file. On 7 October the TRAN committee voted to start trilogue negotiations. Fourth edition.

One of these proposals focuses on improving the use of rail infrastructure capacity. The proposed text suggests changes to the rules governing the planning and allocation of railway infrastructure capacity, which are currently outlined in Directive 2012/34/EU and Regulation (EU) No 913/2010. The goal of the changes is to enhance the management of rail infrastructure capacity and traffic so as to improve service quality, optimise railway network usage, increase traffic capacity and enhance the transport sector's contribution to decarbonisation. In the European ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾, the file was referred to the Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN), which appointed Tilly Metz (Greens/EFA, Luxembourg) as rapporteur. The TRAN committee adopted its report on 4 March 2024. ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾ adopted its first-reading position during its March 2024 plenary session. Following the European elections, the TRAN committee voted on 7 October 2024 to start interinstitutional negotiations. Fourth edition.

This involves future-proofing the driving licence rules, improving road safety and simplifying the rules for those wanting to get a driving licence. The proposal provides for accompanied driving for young learners, zero tolerance for drink-driving, better preparation for micro-mobility, and the introduction of digital driving licences. In the European ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾, the legislative file was assigned to the Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN) (rapporteur: Jutta Paulus, Greens/EFA, Germany). The TRAN committee report was adopted on 7 December 2023. On 28 February 2024, ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾ voted in plenary on its first reading position on the file.

The proposal seeks to promote the use of zero-emission trucks by allowing these to exceed standard weight limits, while clarifying the rules on the use of heavier and longer vehicles in cross-border transport operations between countries, where such vehicles are allowed. Additional objectives are to promote intermodal transport, simplify administrative procedures, and improve enforcement of the rules. In the European ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾, the file was referred to the Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN). The TRAN committee adopted its report on the proposal on 14 February 2024 and ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾ adopted its first reading position during the March 2024 plenary session. With the new parliamentary term under way, on 7 October 2024 the TRAN committee voted to start interinstitutional negotiations. Fourth edition.

This includes promoting combined transport operations, during which, in addition to transport by road, transport by rail or water is used. The Combined Transport Directive, adopted in 1992, set out measures designed to increase the competitiveness of combined transport against road-only transport. <br /> <br /> Quelle : <a href="/portal/de/legal-notice" >© Europäische Union, 2024 - EP</a> Dokumente - Think Tank - Europäisches Parlament Mon, 23 Sep 2024 22:00:00 GMT EPRS_BRI(2024)767199_DE_20240924 /thinktank/de/document/EPRS_BRI(2023)747880 Road transport is a major contributor to climate change. CO2 emissions from heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) have grown steadily and account for over a quarter of road transport CO2 emissions. On 14 February 2023, the European Commission tabled a legislative proposal to revise Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 setting CO2 emission standards for new HDVs in the EU. The proposed revision would expand the scope of the regulation to include urban buses, coaches, trailers and additional types of lorries. The average CO2 emissions of trucks and coaches, compared with 2019 levels, would have to fall by 45 % from 2030, by 65 % from 2035, and by 90 % from 2040 onwards. The proposal set a target date when all newly registered urban buses would have to be zero-emission vehicles. The co-legislators reached a provisional agreement on the proposal in January 2024. The regulation was adopted on 14 May 2024, entered into force on 26 June 2024, and started applying from 1 July 2024. Fifth edition.

The IA's qualitative and quantitative analysis draws on several data sources, such as an IA supporting study, studies in the policy field, ex-post evaluations and stakeholder consultation; however, the IA supporting study does not appear to be fully referenced, to the detriment of transparency. The IA explains in detail the analytical methods used in a dedicated annex. The IA presents a well-evidenced problem definition and a balanced description of the policy measures and policy options; however, the offer of options is partially rather limited. In the comparison of options, the IA transparently notes that the stakeholders have differing views on the options, and recognises uncertainties in the estimates of hassle cost savings. The analysis would have benefited from some clarification relating to the effectiveness assessment and the scoring of proportionality and subsidiarity. The IA considers that the initiative is relevant to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and, consequently, an SME test was performed. However, SMEs are not differentiated by size classes (micro, small and medium enterprises) in the analysis, and the mitigating measures could have been explained more in detail. It appears that the legislative proposal follows the preferred options of the IA. <br /> <br /> Quelle : <a href="/portal/de/legal-notice" >© Europäische Union, 2024 - EP</a> Dokumente - Think Tank - Europäisches Parlament Mon, 09 Sep 2024 22:00:00 GMT EPRS_BRI(2024)762860_DE_20240910
