stresses that military mobility is vital for EU deterrence and defence, particularly for frontline and transit Member States on the EU’s eastern flank and calls for rapid reinforcement of these regions as a top priority in implementing the Regulation. To achieve this goal, simplification and harmonisation of logistics, customs, and transport rules are needed without undermining workers’ rights, working conditions and safety.
calls for proper funding for companies of all sizes and the involvement of a range of actors in collaborative and cross-border research and innovation partnerships, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of European industrial ecosystems and the EU’s economic security;
recommends that the Regulation maintains a clear signal for zero and low-emissions vehicles. Low-emission vehicles act as a short and mid-term enabler of alternative fuel infrastructure and support industrial adaptation, when used primarily in an electric mode;
supports expanding decentralised energy generation, which can reduce the need for grid expansion and strengthen public acceptance of the energy transition; and calls for stronger EU coordination in grid governance while maintaining Member States’ responsibility for planning and oversight when the costs of grid expansion, congestion management and stability are primarily national, and underlines the importance of accelerating the digitalisation of electricity networks and ensuring network development plans align with National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs);
Climate ambitions in the automotive sector should be fully aligned with competitiveness drivers vis-a-vis global competitors and with preparedness strategies and plans.
underlines that regulatory simplification should not come at the expense of established road safety standards or the protection of drivers and vulnerable road users, including cyclists and pedestrians;
urges the Commission to adopt far more ambitious measures to address the structural housing crisis, including better framework conditions, a right to adequate and affordable housing in EU primary law, a fundamental reform of the energy market design, sufficient funding and a stronger focus on young people, families and sustainability.
calls on the co-legislators to support the objectives and measures set out in the European Commission’s proposals, particularly on central supervision by ESMA;
ensure that any simplification of sustainable finance legislation, including disclosure requirements, does not weaken the contribution of the financial system and its credit and investment products to achieving the objectives of the European Green Deal within the legally bound timelines, and does not weaken measures against greenwashing;
supports the revision of the Tobacco Taxation Directive, recognising the need to adapt the excise framework to market developments, new products and public health objectives, while stressing that the reform must remain proportionate, predictable and economically sustainable;
