EU treba europski promet neprestano prilagođavati aktualnim i budućim potrebama, osobito s obzirom na promjene u potražnji i trend povećanja prometa u morskim lukama. Ključne značajke moraju biti načelo multimodalnosti i pametna rješenja za pomorski promet te iskorištavanje prednosti različitih načina prijevoza za postizanje najboljih mogućih rezultata i za istovremeno povećanje sigurnosti i smanjenje opterećenja za okoliš.
To je glavna poruka mišljenja o Komunikaciji Komisije „NAIADES III: Poticanje dugoročno održivog prijevoza unutarnjim plovnim putovima u Europi“, koje je sastavio Mateusz Szymański i koje je usvojeno na plenarnom zasjedanju EGSO-a u siječnju.
Govoreći na marginama sastanka, g. Szymański je rekao: „NAIADES III važan je akcijski plan. EGSO podržava nastojanja da se poveća udio prijevoza unutarnjim plovnim putovima u putničkom i teretnom prijevozu. U tom području postoji ogroman potencijal koji je još uvijek neiskorišten. Potrebna nam je politička volja i predanost na mnogim razinama kako bismo donijeli mjere potpore razvoju i održavanju infrastrukture te promicanju prijevoza unutarnjim plovnim putovima kao sektora koji pruža mogućnosti za razvoj karijere. Također je potrebno ažurirati mrežu TEN-T kako bi se odgovorilo na nove trendove u prometu.“ (mp)
