PART 1. MISSION STATEMENT

Under the political guidance of the College of Commissioners, in particular Vice- President Maroš Šefčovič and Ms Violeta Bulc, Commissioner responsible for Transport, the Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport is in charge of developing transport policies for the European Union. Its remit is to ensure efficient and sustainable mobility within a single European transport area, to serve Europe's citizens and economy.

Europe relies on efficient transport networks for the economy to stay competitive and connected to the rest of the world, and for the internal market to function smoothly. Transport, as the heart of the supply chain, is a primary creator of jobs and essential for generating and accelerating growth. Affordable, accessible, reliable, safe and secure networks are needed to achieve these goals. In transport, a fully integrated single market and more efficient networks that allow easy switching between different modes, would bring huge benefits to citizens and companies, including in urban areas. Economic recovery also depends largely on trade with non-EU countries with growing economies, for which efficient and competitive transport and logistics links are an essential requirement.

The Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport strives to fulfil its mission by:

− contributing towards the completion of the European internal market: ensuring the seamless integration of all modes of transport into a single competitive transport system capable of providing better services for citizens and companies at affordable cost, while safeguarding safety, security and the environment and improving the rights of passengers.

− developing an agenda for innovation: promoting research and the development and roll-out of a new generation of sustainable transport digital technologies and systems particularly for integrated traffic management and low-carbon transport, including in urban areas.

− facilitating the construction of the EU's core trans-European infrastructure network

as the backbone of a multi-modal sustainable transport system that can provide fast, affordable and reliable transport solutions to serve Europe's transcontinental corridors as well as the needs of its urban centres.

− projecting the EU's mobility and transport objectives and defending EU political and industrial interests on the world stage, within international organisations and with strategic partners.

DG Mobility and Transport aims to ensure that this policy is designed and implemented for the benefit of all sectors of society, business and citizens. It therefore

4

works in close cooperation with EU citizens and stakeholders, particularly with industry and social partners. The DG carries out its tasks in many different ways. It develops strategic policies for the transport sector in line with the political priorities set out by the Commission; it monitors the implementation of existing EU law and makes new legislative proposals; it encourages the exchange of best practices and co-finances infrastructure under the TEN-T/CEF. Its work is accompanied by a range of activities, such as financial support programmes for research and innovation projects under Horizon 2020 while monitoring developments in research and providing feedback to inform policy development. The DG promotes policies internationally and provides information to the public as well as to stakeholders. The spending programmes are managed by the Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA) 1. DG Mobility and Transport is assisted in its work by the expert input from several European Agencies and two Joint Undertakings, which it oversees: the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA), the European Railway Agency (ERA), Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA), and the SESAR (Single European Sky ATM Research) Joint Undertaking and the Shift2Rail Joint Undertaking (which was set up in 2014). DG MOVE has also built a strong partnership with EUROCONTROL and is represented in the management board of the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking. DG Mobility and Transport has a total of 440 staff in Brussels and shares administrative support services with DG Energy. For 20152, it will manage a budget of about € 3.3 billion, mostly for co-financing European transport network infrastructure (CEF) and transport research (Horizon 2020).

PART 2. THIS YEAR'S CHALLENGES

The Management Plan aims to translate the Commission priorities, as set out in President Juncker's Political Guidelines, into operational objectives for the DGs. The Commission priority areas of particular relevance for DG MOVE are notably jobs, growth and investment, a connected digital single market, energy union and climate change policy, a deeper and fairer internal market and a stronger global actor.

The specific challenges facing DG MOVE during the next year and beyond are further detailed in the mission letter of the new Commissioner for Transport. They will also be reflected in the implementation report on the White Paper on the Future of Transport3 to be prepared before the end of 2015. Among the most important initiatives, I would like to mention:

• We shall continue to ensure that investments in transport infrastructure and research and innovation work together with our efforts to improve the transport regulatory framework in the EU and internationally to reach our objectives of interconnected, safe and secure transport services and of decarbonising transport (reduction of greenhouse gases and other noxious emissions).

• Particular focus shall be given to how investments in transport infrastructure co-financed by the Connecting Europe Facility and additional private funds mobilised by the use of innovative financial instruments can contribute effectively to the 315 billion Euro investment plan of the Union announced by President Juncker as part of the Commission's jobs, growth and investment initiative.

• The Aviation Package is one of the flagship initiatives announced in the Commission 2015 work programme. The package will include a Communication identifying the challenges and measures needed for improving the competitiveness of the EU Aviation sector. It will be accompanied by a request for Council mandates to begin negotiations for the signature of several comprehensive EU-level aviation agreements with key partners. A revision of the EASA Basic Regulation will also be proposed. This legislation is a centrepiece of keeping Europe the safest world region for aviation, and regulating important safety aspects for drones. Other legislative initiatives to reinforce competitiveness will follow in 2016.

• A Digital Transport and Logistic Forum with participation of national experts and industry representatives will be established. It will promote digitisation and use of ICT tools in transport which are of great importance for the efficiency of transport and logistics and have a great potential for economic growth.

3 White Paper "Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area – Towards a competitive and resource

efficient transport system" (COM(2011) 144 final of 28.03.2011).

• Through the Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems platform (C-ITS platform) we are preparing with other relevant Commission services, the industrial value chain, Member States and local authorities a shared vision for the deployment of C-ITS across the EU. Cooperative ITS will allow more efficient traffic management and infrastructure use, thereby contributing to energy efficiency. They will improve road safety and quality of travel and logistics operations. In addition, C-ITS deployment will pave the way to further automation in road transport.

• We will continue implementing important industrial innovation projects such as SESAR and Shift2Rail and promote the development of smart cities as well as to other research and innovation efforts via Horizon 2020.

• Strong efforts will be needed to continue improving the functioning of the Single European Transport Area, in particular by negotiating the 4th Railway package, SES2+, the Port Regulation and other on-going legislative proposals.

• DG MOVE will continue its important contributions to the Regulatory Fitness (REFIT) exercise with an aim to clarify and simplify existing provisions, in particular in the road sector, but also in the maritime and other sectors. Several ex-post evaluations will also be conducted in 2015, in view of adopting proposals to improve the efficiency of road transport in 2016.

• The Commission will continue to examine how to strengthen the EU's position in international fora (IMO, ICAO and OSLD). The Commission will also continue building strong cooperation links with key countries and regions in the area of transport cooperation.

In order to achieve its objectives and carry forward the important initiatives foreseen for 2015 and beyond, DG MOVE will continue aligning human resources to the Commission’s political priorities to ensure they are delivered efficiently in a context of staff reduction. This implies notably that DG MOVE will pursue its active redeployment policy towards frontline priority areas. Furthermore, the challenge of the €315 billion Growth, Jobs and Investment package announced by President Junker, of which transport should be a sizeable part, requires DG MOVE to step up efforts in particular in order to reorient the Connecting Europe Facility towards the use of less grants in transport and of more financial instruments to increase the leverage of EU funding and generate more investments. As a consequence, DG MOVE will have to reinforce its resources in this priority area including through the recruitment of specialised profiles in transport infrastructure financing. To measure the progress made by the EU towards effective, sustainable, safe and secure transport and the contribution of EU transport policy to this, a number of

7

indicators are presented in the following sections of the Management Plan. The following five indicators will be given special attention in 20154:

1. Transposition rate in transport legislation (%)

2. Volume of private, public or public-private partnership investment in projects of common interest on the TEN-T network

3. GHG emissions from transport excluding maritime international bunkers

4. Number of fatalities in road transport accidents

5. Percentage of payments made by contractual deadline (internal control objective)

These key performance indicators have been selected among the indicators presented under each general and/or specific objective in the sections below. It is important to note that the developments shown by many of these indicators depend on a large number of factors and not only on the activities of the Commission. Further performance indicators on transport in the European Union can be found in the EU Transport Scoreboard: http://ec.europa.eu/transport/facts-fundings/scoreboard/index_en.htm For information on all our policies and more, please visit our website: http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/transport/index_en.htm.

PART 3. GENERAL OBJECTIVES OF THE POLICY

DG MOVE policies aim to provide European citizens and businesses with competitive, sustainable, secure and safe transport services. The transport sector is a key element contributing to the Europe 2020 strategy. Adequate infrastructure, intelligent transport systems, measures to improve the environmental performance of the transport sector and the promotion of new technologies, inter alia through increased research, developments and demonstration, are important instruments to this effect, in particular for reaching the 20/20/20 targets for GHG emissions, renewable energy and energy efficiency and the targets of 3% of GDP in R&D. Acknowledging the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and of risks related to fossil fuel dependency in transport, the 2030 climate and energy policy framework reiterates the need for examining instruments and measures for a comprehensive and technology neutral approach for the promotion of emissions reduction and energy efficiency in transport, for electric transportation and for renewable energy sources in transport also after 2020. DG MOVE breaks down these overall objectives into four different "general objectives". One general objective is linked to the completion of a competitive Single European Transport Area, two general objectives are linked to the implementation of the Connecting Europe Facility and the last general objective is linked to research and innovation activities in the transport area under Horizon 2020. In turn each of the "general objectives" is broken down into a number of more "specific objectives". Functioning of the Single European Transport Area5 General objectives:

• General objective 1: To contribute to a deeper, fairer and safer internal market by promoting a better functioning Single European Transport Area.

Specific objectives:

• Specific objective 1: To improve the efficiency of the European transport market by improving regulation, ensuring a high degree of implementation of EU legislation in the transport area and open and fair competition both in the EU and in relations with key partner countries.

• Specific objective 2: To promote safe and secure transport by developing unified European policy standards for safety and security and ensuring a high degree of implementation.

5 The formulation of general objective 1 and specific objective 1 has been changed and the number

of specific objectives directly related to general objective 1 reduced from four to two in order to align with the new Commission political guidelines and reduce overlap with the relatively wide objectives introduced in the legal basis for the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), see general objectives 2 and 3 and the associated specific objectives.

9

Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) General objective:

• General objective 2: to contribute to smart, sustainable and inclusive growth by developing modern and high performing trans-European networks.

• General objective 3: to enable the Union to achieve its sustainable development targets, including a minimum 20 % reduction of greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990 levels and a 20 % increase in energy efficiency, and raising the share of renewable energy to 20 % by 2020.

Specific objectives:

• Specific objective 3: to enable more performing transport infrastructure by removing bottlenecks, enhancing rail interoperability, bridging missing links and improving cross-border sections.

• Specific objective 4: to ensure sustainable and efficient transport systems in the long run

• Specific objective 5: to optimise the integration and interconnection of transport modes and enhancing the interoperability of transport services

• Specific objective 6: to create an environment more conducive to private and public investments

Research and innovation activities in the transport area under Horizon 2020 General objective6:

• General objective 4: To contribute to a European transport system that is resource-efficient, climate and environmentally-friendly, safe and seamless for the benefit of all citizens, the economy and society by promoting innovation and research in transport

Specific objectives7:

• Specific objective 7: To promote research and innovation for resource-efficient transport that respects the environment

• Specific objective 8: To promote research and innovation towards better mobility, less congestion, more safety and security.

It is important to note that the implementation of the Management Plan (and in particular achieving objectives and seeing improvements in the indicators8) does not only depend on the Commission. It is for the European Parliament and Council to decide on the Commission's proposals and then primarily for the Member States to implement them. In addition, there are often measures that will contribute to the actions that are outside the scope of EU competence. In particular obtaining authorisations to negotiate depends on Council decisions and the success of negotiations with international partners depends on the willingness of both sides to achieve compromise solutions. Finally, external factors, such as energy price fluctuations or the general economic situation, can have a significant influence.

PART 4. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES FOR OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES POLICY The work of the DG is organised according to two operational and one horizontal activity, also called "Activity-Based Budgeting" (ABB) activities. The special objectives for each of the two operational ABB activities are set out in more detail in subsequent sections, i.e. 4.1. European Transport Policy, which includes under 4.1.1. Transport infrastructure policy financed under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), and 4.2 Research and innovation related to transport under the framework programme Horizon 2020. For each specific objective, "result" indicators measuring progress towards achieving the objectives are presented. Along with the ABB activities and indicators, information on the most significant policy-related (i.e. the policy proposals, documents and decisions adopted) and expenditure-related outputs planned for 2015 is also given.

4.1. European Transport Policy

Transport has been driving European integration for more than 50 years. Persons and goods now travel more freely than ever before with the removal of borders between Member States. The 2011 Transport White Paper on the Future of Transport presents proposals for transforming the European transport system into a competitive system that will further improve mobility and continue to support growth and employment. Transport and logistics chains do not stop at the EU's external borders and thus it is essential to take a global approach on standards, rules and practices. This is also at centre of the Commission's efforts to fight climate change. The EU has put in place a comprehensive legislative framework to ensure competitive, reliable, affordable and safe transport for passengers and goods in Europe and to protect passengers' rights in all modes of transport. In addition, the Commission worked to develop common rules and standards for security, including an inspection system, and reinforced international cooperation so as to ensure high quality and a level-playing field beyond the EU. The challenge is to keep and enhance the EU transport system's sustainability and competitiveness, tackling climate change and contributing to economic growth, while satisfying the evolving mobility needs of the society. Therefore the EU’s transport policy is striving both to promote the economic development of the transport sector and provide efficient services for EU citizens and businesses, while improving its environmental performance. Developing the conditions for access to neighbouring and emerging markets and for open and fair competition in international transport markets is also essential.

14

The work of the three European Agencies26 that work on safety is also covered by this ABB activity. Their work contributes to harmonising technical rules and safety and checking their implementation. The following resources are available in 2015 for the ABB activity:

Note: To reduce the number of indicators to a maximum of 5 for this specific objective as required in the guidelines, the reporting focuses mainly on transposition of legislation and infringement cases, which cover all modes, including passenger rights and the social dimension. One indicator for international aviation agreements is also maintained. Intervention logic The intervention logic for the specific objective is to contribute to the efficiency of a deeper and fairer European transport market by improving regulation, ensuring a high degree of implementation of EU legislation in the transport area and open and fair competition both in the EU and in relations with key partner countries. The activities of DG MOVE in this area include the preparation of proposals for legislative measures in the various transport areas, such as road, rail, maritime, inland waterways, ports and aviation as well as combined or multimodal transport operations. They cover various aspects like market access, governance, technical standards, passenger rights and social, safety and security measures which all contribute to improve the functioning of the European transport market. Main ongoing or planned measures for 2015 are presented under "output" in the table above. The adopted measures subsequently need to be correctly implemented to have effect. DG MOVE therefore monitors transposition and implementation of existing EU law in the Member States and takes the appropriate action to address incorrect transposition and practical implementation at national level. The result indicators presented concern transposition rates, open non-communication cases and infringement cases open for more than 3 years.

The external dimension of transport has been developed over the past years as the extension of internal EU transport policy. On the one hand, it aims at extending the application of internal EU rules and policies to neighbouring and candidate countries. On the other hand, it includes cooperation platforms and/or agreements with key trading partners. An indicator covering international aviation agreements is presented in the table above. External factors The final adoption of legislative measures proposed by the Commission depends on the co-legislators, the European Parliament and the Council, and the possible amendments they make to the Commission's initial proposal. Their implementation in turn depends on the Member States and on the actions taken by organisations and businesses operating in the area of transport. The Commission's possibilities for conducting negotiations with international partners depend on the acceptance of the Council to grant the Commission a mandate and on the interests of partner countries. Progress on international transport relations is in general also closely linked to foreign policy developments and trade negotiations.

Note: To reduce the number of indicators to a maximum of 5 for this specific objective as required in the guidelines, the indicator on road fatalities is included only under the General Objective and the specific reporting on infringements following security inspections has been discontinued as this is included under the general indicators on implementation of legislation under specific objective 1. The indicator for compliance with community legislation for maritime security previously included in Management Plan 2014 was discontinued due to the unavailability of data from maritime security inspections in the necessary format to assess the results against the target set. Intervention logic The intervention logic for the specific objective is to promote safe and secure transport by developing unified European policy standards for safety and security and ensuring a high degree of implementation. For legislative measures to improve safety and security of transport, the activities of DG MOVE are similar to the ones mentioned under specific objective 1. In the area of safety, DG MOVE cooperates closely with and draws on the expertise of the European Agencies, which it oversees: the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) and the European Railway Agency (ERA). Road safety is a shared competence with the Member States. In addition to legislative measures, the EU also contributes with "soft" measures, such as campaigns to raise awareness among road users and the sharing of good practices among Member States. In particular as regards the aviation and maritime sectors, safety and security standards and controls are set at the level of the UN, in the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), and in close cooperation with key international partners. In terms of oversight, Commission inspections on the respect of security measures are conducted regularly at EU airports, ports and ships and Member States' authorities. Result indicators on safety in transport and the outcome of security inspections are presented in the table above. External factors The level of safety and security in transport not only depends on the Commission's actions, but to a much larger extent on the implementation of rules and standards in the Member States and in third countries and on the respect of these and the behaviour of transport businesses and individual citizens.

4.1.1 INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY – CEF TRANSPORT

The Regulation (EU) n° 1316/2013 establishing the Connecting Europe Facility (thereafter the CEF) establishes the framework and conditions for financing European infrastructure projects in three areas: transport, energy and telecommunication and information services. The Regulation (EU) n°1315/2013 establishing the Union guidelines in trans-European transport network (the TEN-T network) defines the "core" infrastructure nodes and services in Europe and the complementary connection points and services are called the "comprehensive" network. The core network provides a coherent, multimodal network within and across the EU Member States and in connection with the neighbourhood countries. Full interoperability of systems and technologies, for example in the rail sector is mandatory. The TEN-T facilitate the mobility of persons, goods and services in the internal market and play a major role for territorial, economic and social cohesion of the Union. The European Union by establishing the CEF supports the "European projects of common interest" which aim at implementation of:

• new infrastructures and services, • rehabilitation and the upgrading of existing infrastructures and services

Priority is given to projects demonstrating high EU value added that resolve critical bottlenecks and establish the missing connection points. By implementing these projects, access to the Single Market and to international markets, which are part of the "Europe 2020 strategy", are optimised. The CEF contributes to supporting projects with significant societal benefits which do not receive adequate financing from the market. The EU intervention in the transport infrastructure projects through the enablers of the CEF, such as:

• Grants; • Procurements; • and financial instruments developed jointly by the Commission and the

European Investment Bank and other entrusted entities, concretely contributes to the implementation of the TEN-T policies. DG MOVE will also contribute to the creation of the new European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI). Much needed transport infrastructure projects will be able to benefit from additional private funds mobilised by the use of innovative financial instruments as part of the 315 billion Euro investment plan of the Union announced by President Juncker on 26 November 2014 as part of the Commission's jobs, growth and investment initiative.

Note: indicators marked with * will be assessed in the framework of the work plans for the core network corridors. The work plans will be established. At that time, a reliable baseline scenario and precise targets can be defined. The figures presented above correspond to the financial statement accompanying the Commission proposals of 2011.

Note: The CEF Regulation includes the following additional indicator for this specific objective "The number of kilometres of railway line adapted to the European nominal gauge standard and fitted with ERTMS". However, this indicator is presented under specific objective 8 as DG MOVE considers that it is more closely linked to that particular objective.

24

Intervention logic The intervention logic of the specific objective is to enable more performing transport infrastructure and thus contribute to achieving the general objectives of the Connecting Europe Facility of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth and the reduction of fossil fuel dependency by removing bottlenecks, enhancing rail interoperability, bridging missing links and, in particular, improving cross-border sections. The achievement of the objective under the Connecting Europe Facility is measured by the related indicators presented in the table above. The Commission's actions to achieve the specific objective 3 encompass the execution of the Multi Annual Work Programme C(2014)1921 and of the Annual Work Programme C(2014)1919 for the financial assistance for TEN-T projects (works, studies). In particular, the Commission, assisted by the Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA), launches the call for proposals for TEN-T projects and will lead the evaluation procedure for awarding grants to best TEN-T infrastructure projects throughout 2014/2015. The Commission organises as well the targeted Programme Support Actions to support directly the Member States in implementing the TEN-T Core and Comprehensive network infrastructure and services, by providing the financial assistance for the needed coordination platforms, studies, ICT assistance. Such Programme Support Actions encompass as well the appointment of the Corridors Coordinators as political and technical facilitators across the Member States. The Programme Support Actions also refer to the following objectives 4 and 5 of this Management Plan. External factors The Commission's role in the implementation of the CEF Regulation, except the design of the TEN-T policy, is limited to the correct and sound management of the Union's financial aid, including the financial instruments and technical assistance, attributed to the final beneficiaries. The main external factors which may hinder or delay the implementation of the TEN-T Core and Comprehensive networks are: • inadequate number and quality of the proposals submitted by the Member States/

applicants in the calls for proposals, due to changing priorities within the Member State in their transport pipelines, inadequate administrative capacity to prepare well-structured proposals, shortage of public and private funding for projects identified by the Member States, insufficient political support to implement nationally and in the cross-border dimensions the Core and Comprehensive networks

• insufficient interest of the private partners to enter into cooperation with the public institutions in the implementation of the projects due to many external

25

factors including the implementation timelines, the remuneration of the parties, which could hinder or delay the realisation of the projects in the Core and Comprehensive networks.

Note: indicators marked with * will generally be assessed in the framework of the work plans for the core network corridors. However, as regards the indicators for alternative fuel, please see additional information in note below.

Note: Baseline figures have been updated from Management Plan 2014 in order to present figures from 2012 based on the Impact assessment Accompanying the document Proposal for a Directive on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure /* SWD/2013/05 final.

The targets previously presented in the Management Plan 2014 were established on the basis of the Proposal for a DIRECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure /* COM/2013/018 final.

The Directive 2014/94/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2014 on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure modified the Commission's proposal, deleting the mandatory targets for the refuelling/recharging points to be build-up by Member States and also modifying the dates for implementation of infrastructures for some fuels.

According to the Directive, the targets will be defined by the Member States in their National Policy Frameworks to be submitted to the Commission in November 2016. The Member State targets for electricity recharging points and CNG refuelling points in urban agglomerations must be implemented by 31 December 2020. The Member State targets for LNG refuelling points for road transport and maritime transport must be implemented by 31 December 2025 and for inland transport by 31 December 2030. The build-up of hydrogen refuelling points only concerns those Member States which decide to include hydrogen refuelling points accessible to the public in their national policy frameworks. The date established is 31 December 2025. No milestones are foreseen in the text of the Directive.

The monitoring of the targets will be carried out on basis of the report submitted by Member States to the Commission on the implementation of its national policy framework by 18 November 2019.

Note: The CEF Regulation includes an additional indicator for this specific objective "The reduction in casualties on the road network in the Union". However, this indicator is presented under general objective 1 as DG MOVE considers that it is more closely linked to that particular objective. Intervention logic The intervention logic of the specific objective is to ensure sustainable and efficient transport systems in the long run and thus contribute to achieving the general objectives of the Connecting Europe Facility of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth and the reduction of fossil fuel dependency, in particular by promoting the use of alternative fuels and other solutions contributing to the sustainability of transport. The achievement of the objective under the Connecting Europe Facility is measured by the related indicators presented in the table above. The Commission's actions to achieve the specific objective 4 encompass the execution of the Multi Annual Work Programme C(2014)1921 and of the Annual Work Programme C(2014)1919 for the financial assistance for TEN-T projects (works, studies). In particular, the Commission, assisted by the Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA), launches the call for proposals for TEN-T projects and will lead the evaluation procedure for awarding grants to best TEN-T infrastructure projects throughout 2014/2015. The Commission organises as well the targeted Programme Support Actions to support directly the Member States in implementing the TEN-T Core and Comprehensive

27

network infrastructure and services, by providing the financial assistance for the needed coordination platforms, studies, ICT assistance. Such Programme Support Actions encompass as well the appointment of the Corridors Coordinators as political and technical facilitators across the Member States. External factors The Commission's role in the implementation of the CEF Regulation, except the design of the TEN-T policy, is limited to the correct and sound management of the Union's financial aid, including the financial instruments and technical assistance, attributed to the final beneficiaries. The main external factors which may hinder or delay the implementation of the TEN-T Core and Comprehensive networks are: • inadequate number and quality of the proposals submitted by the Member States/

applicants in the calls for proposals, due to changing priorities within the Member State in their transport pipelines, inadequate administrative capacity to prepare well-structured proposals, shortage of public and private funding for projects identified by the Member States, insufficient political support to implement nationally and in the cross-border dimensions the Core and Comprehensive networks

• insufficient interest of the private partners to enter into cooperation with the public institutions in the implementation of the projects due to many external factors including the implementation timelines, the remuneration of the parties, which could hinder or delay the realisation of the projects in the Core and Comprehensive networks

Particular actions under the specific objective Alternative fuels: The actions to be implemented aim to promote the use of alternatively fuelled vehicles. In particular, they are intended to reduce greenhouse gas and other pollutants' emissions and the dependence of the transport sector on oil. The achievement of the specific objective is influenced by the following external factors:

• On alternative fuels: submission by end 2016 of national policy frameworks by MS (Directive on the deployment of alternative fuel infrastructure). In this respect the Commission will support MS by providing guidance documents and through constant dialogue.

• On standardisation: the development of standards by CEN/CENELEC will be monitored by the Commission through meetings and analysis of technical deliverables.

28

Freight transport services: Funding for the freight transport services in the period 2014-2020 has been integrated into the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) programme and the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF). The financial support will be granted in particular to projects that develop links and synergies between the core and the comprehensive transport network, improving efficiency, sustainability, interoperability and safety of the freight operations as well as optimising the functioning of the supply chains. These projects are expected to deliver environmental solutions that are cost-effective, at the same time building up awareness on the market and contributing to reduction of negative impacts of transport. They will therefore contribute to the achievement of Specific objective 4 on ensuring a sustainable and efficient transport system. The uptake and success of the Freight Transport Services under the TEN-T will depend on external factors such as the future economic and financial situation of business and the economy as a whole, as well as on specific factors that can influence the competitiveness of individual transport modes and their relative convenience for operators. European Sustainable Shipping Forum: Maritime transport pollution should be reduced while maintaining the competitiveness of the sector. In autumn 2013 the Commission set up the “European Sustainable Shipping Forum” gathering expertise from the Member States, the shipping and shipbuilding industries and all relevant Commission services with a view to describe existing, planned and possible measures to support the maritime sector in its efforts to comply with the new emission limits. The European Sustainable Shipping Forum will prepare submissions to the International Maritime Organization in order to clarify and harmonise the international standards for the bunkering and use of LNG, the monitoring of use and discharge of scrubbers. The objective is to maintain or increase the share of Short Sea Shipping in the total intra-EU transport, therefore contributing to a more balanced and sustainable transport system (Specific objective 4).

The share of Short Sea Shipping will also depend on external factors affecting the comparative advantages of maritime and road transport, including energy price, development of adequate bunkering facilities and access to financing.

Note: The CEF Regulation includes the following additional indicator for this specific objective "The number of kilometres of inland waterways fitted with RIS" and "The level of deployment for the SESAR system, VTMIS and ITS for the road sector". However, these indicators are presented included under specific objective 7 as DG MOVE considers that they are more closely linked to that particular objective. Intervention logic The intervention logic of the specific objective is to optimise the integration and interconnection of transport modes and enhancing the interoperability of transport services and thus contribute to achieving the general objectives of the Connecting Europe Facility of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth and the reduction of fossil fuel dependency, in particular by supporting the creation of multimodal logistic platforms and improved connections between different transport modes. The achievement of the objective under the Connecting Europe Facility is measured by the related indicators presented in the table above. The Commission's actions to achieve the Specific objective 5 encompass the execution of the Multi Annual Work Programme C(2014)1921 and the Annual Work Programme C(2014)1919 for the financial assistance for TEN-T projects (works, studies). In particular, the Commission, assisted by the Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA), launches the call for proposals for TEN-T projects and will lead the evaluation procedure for awarding grants to best TEN-T infrastructure projects throughout 2014/2015. External factors The Commission's role in the implementation of the CEF Regulation, except the design of the TEN-T policy, is limited to the correct and sound management of the Union's financial aid, including the financial instruments and technical assistance, attributed to the final beneficiaries.

• insufficient interest of the private partners to enter into cooperation with the public institutions in the implementation of the projects due to many external factors including the implementation timelines, the remuneration of the parties, which could hinder or delay the realisation of the projects in the Core and Comprehensive networks.

31

Particular actions under the specific objective Digital Transport and Logistic Forum Digitisation and use of ICT tools is of great importance for the efficiency of transport and logistics and has a great potential for economic growth. This could e.g. include paperless, harmonised and simplified exchange of data along the supply chain, i.e. between businesses, and between business and public authorities. These initiatives will be further developed by a Digital Transport and Logistics Forum with participation of national experts and industry representatives. The initiatives would be key for optimising the integration and interconnection of transport modes (Specific objective 5). Since the use of ICT can also optimise goods routing and increase vehicle load factors, thanks to real-time information on traffic conditions and location of goods, these initiatives would also promote the general objective of reduction of greenhouse gas emissions increase in energy efficiency (General objective 3). The Digital Transport and Logistic Forum will address topics such as the re-use of public data, the acceptance of electronic documents by public authorities, the commercial sensitivity of data, trust in data sharing, new business models, interfaces with legacy systems and re-thinking of business processes. Ultimately, success depends on external factors such as the willingness of stakeholders to co-operate and share data, to reengineer their business processes and test new business models.

Adoption of Commission report

Q4 2015

Planned evaluations: N.a.

Note: Specific objective 6 is derived from one of the indicators of the wide general objective of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Regulation as regards the contribution to smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, which is reflected in the 2nd General Objective of the CEF Programme Statement. It was deemed appropriate for the purpose of monitoring the activity of DG MOVE to include in the Management Plan a specific objective concerning the improvement of the environment for investing in infrastructure since it is an important policy objective. Only the first result indicator presented "Volume of private investment in projects of common interest achieved through the financial instruments under the CEF regulation" is directly linked to the activities under the CEF. DG MOVE nevertheless considers that the indicator on external cost charging provides useful information on activities undertaken in order to achieve the objective of creating an environment more conducive to investments in transport infrastructure, even if it also contributes to specific objective 4 on sustainable transport. Two additional indicators presented in the Management Plan 2014 have been discontinued. Intervention logic The intervention logic of the specific objective is to create an environment more conducive to private and public investments which can contribute to achieving the general objectives of the Connecting Europe Facility of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth and the reduction of fossil fuel dependency by investments in modern transport infrastructure. The achievement of the objective is measured by the related indicators presented in the table above. The Commission's actions in the field of the specific objective entail:

• Programming and evaluation of call from proposals in the Annual Work Programme in 2015, supporting the procuring authorities in the financial and technical preparation of projects using the financial instruments (administrative capacity enhancement of the Member States, to use the PPP procurement methods);

34

• On-site visits to the Member States, conferences and information days on the innovative financial instruments and how to use them;

• Finalisation of the administrative agreements between the Commission and the European investment Bank, who is expected to be an entrusted entity for the indirect management of the EU funds from the Connecting Europe Facility and expected pipeline and signature of projects benefitting from EU-EIB risk sharing facilities.

• In addition, the internalisation of external costs is a key measure to achieve a sustainable transport system in the long run, which will also contribute to the financing of maintenance and development of transport infrastructure. When prices reflect all (internal + external) costs, users can make sustainable transport decisions based the costs they incur. The current legislative framework allows for the internalisation of external costs. The Commission intends to assess the way it is implemented and take further measures if appropriate, including possible legislative proposal further amending Directive 1999/62/EC. Such an initiative could help achieve the White Paper target of full internalisation of external costs by 2020.

External factors The Commission's role in the implementation of the CEF Regulation, except the design of the TEN-T policy, is limited to the correct and sound management of the Union's financial aid, including the financial instruments and technical assistance, attributed to the final beneficiaries. The main external factors which may hinder or delay the implementation of the TEN-T Core and Comprehensive networks are: • inadequate number and quality of the proposals submitted by the Member States/

applicants in the calls for proposals, due to changing priorities within the Member State in their transport pipelines, inadequate administrative capacity to prepare well-structured proposals, shortage of public and private funding for projects identified by the Member States and the need to rely on external partners for the management of financial instruments, insufficient political support to implement nationally and in the cross-border dimensions the Core and Comprehensive networks.

• insufficient interest of the private partners to enter into cooperation with the public institutions in the implementation of the projects due to many external factors including the implementation timelines, the remuneration of the parties, which could hinder or delay the realisation of the projects in the Core and Comprehensive networks.

• As regards the internalisation of external costs, measures need to be implemented by the Member States. Right now, such internalisation is not mandatory so the Commission's influence is limited.

4.2. HORIZON 2020 – RESEARCH AND INNOVATION RELATED TO TRANSPORT

The White Paper on Transport identifies innovation as a priority area and as essential to developing the EU transport system into a competitive and resource efficient transport system and to reach one of its major objectives by cutting carbon emissions in transport by 60%, by 2050. To reach this goal, while enhancing the efficiency and competitiveness of transport, EU research and innovation in transport needs to speed up the identification and deployment of the most promising innovations and facilitate the introduction of game changing solutions and systems. This vision is reflected in Horizon 2020, the funding programme for research and innovation, covering the period 2014-2020. The promotion of 'Smart, green and integrated transport' is one of the societal challenges of Horizon 2020 which covers upstream research, technology development, technology integration, and demonstration and innovation activities. Concrete actions for 2015 regarding smart, green and integrated transport are addressed in the Horizon 2020 work programme 2014-2015 (Commission Decision C (2014)4995). Transport activities under Horizon 2020 are aimed at increasing the effectiveness of research and innovation in responding to key societal challenges by supporting piloting, demonstration, test-beds, and support for public procurement, pre-normative research and standard setting, and market uptake of innovations. The activities thus support directly the competiveness of the EU's transport and logistics system and technologies as well as providing highly qualified jobs for EU companies active in global markets for transport solutions. Horizon 2020 has been focussed on innovation and the development of near market solutions. Considering the scale of the challenges facing the transport sector and the supranational nature of many transport activities, implementing the actions will require further integration and coordination with national research and innovation capacities. Large scale research programmes under PPPs or JTIs/JUs, notably for SESAR, have been successfully conducted and have demonstrated their value to maximise public and private commitment and improve the efficiency of research activities and focus on developing competitive solutions and systems for large scale roll-out. The Shift2Rail JU has been launched in 2014 in order to focus joint efforts also in the rail sector. The JU on Fuel Cells and Hydrogen addresses also transport topics. Further synergy will be sought with other support programmes, in particular the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Programme, but also regional funding (ERDF) as well as innovative funding opportunities via EIB and other banks. DG MOVE's intervention in terms of Research and Innovation activities also focusses on the functioning of the transport system i.e. urban mobility, logistics, intelligent

36

transport systems and applications and transport infrastructure31. Research on vehicles and vessels is led by DG RTD, but the overall programme is closely coordinated between the two DGs. Urban mobility and smart cities are at the core of the debate on resource efficiency and play key roles in defining a well-balanced approach between the social, economic and environmental pillars of sustainable mobility. New mobility concepts, transport organisation, logistics and planning solutions will be developed and tested, contributing to the reduction of air pollution and noise and improving efficiency. Public and non-motorised transport as well as other resource-efficient transport options should present real alternatives to the use of private motor vehicles, supported by greater use of intelligent transport systems as well as by innovative demand management. Logistics is a cross-sectorial activity impacting the entire supply chain and hence a key sector for business success and for EU competitiveness. R&I action in this area aims at increasing efficiency and hence sustainability in the logistics supply chain, removing the communication bottlenecks in the interaction between the different stakeholders and thereby improving the potential for collaboration and the effective utilisation of equipment and seamless connectivity across the transport modes. Intelligent Transport Systems and applications help deliver safe, efficient, sustainable and seamless transport of goods and people on the European road network and its interfaces with the other transport modes as well as to safeguard the competitiveness of European industry. R&I action on ITS focus on the optimal use of real-time traffic and travel data and potential of automated vehicles to improve mobility, the continuity of traffic and freight management services as well as safety and security and Smart ICT services for people and freight. SESAR, the Single European Sky Air Traffic Management Research Joint Undertaking under the supervision of DG MOVE is a public private partnership established to cover a period from 2007 until 2024 (extended in 2014). SESAR, is the implementation instrument for the technology pillar of the Single European Sky (SES). SHIFT2RAIL was established in 2014. This Joint Undertaking leads the EU's coordinated approach to research and innovation (R&I) in the rail sector under Horizon 2020 towards the completion of the Single European Railway Area. In 2015, demonstration projects on electromobility for passenger cars, buses and logistics (GreenEmotion, ZEUS and FREVUE) and LNG (LNG Blue Corridors) will be running. The projects aim to facilitate the introduction in the market of electric vehicles and LNG trucks and the relevant infrastructures. The implementation of the CIVITAS initiative will continue as well.

31 In practical terms, DG RTD focusses on vessels and vehicles with the exception of Rail which is under

the responsibility of DG MOVE (Shift2Rail).

37

The Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking is a public private partnership established under the responsibility of DG RTD to cover a period from 2008 until 2024 (extended in 2014).

Intervention logic The intervention logic of the specific objective is to promote research and innovation for resource-efficient transport that respects the environment as part of the general objective to contribute to a European transport system that is resource-efficient, climate- and environmentally-friendly, safe and seamless for the benefit of all citizens, the economy and society. Under the Horizon 2020 programme, suitable activities such as piloting, demonstration, test-beds, and support for public procurement, pre-normative research and standard setting, and market uptake of innovations are addressed in specific work programmes. The initial discussion of the Horizon 2020 work programme (transport challenge) for 2016/17 included input via the independent experts of the Transport Advisory Group (TAG) and discussions of a scoping paper on transport R&I with Member States in 2014 where Member States voiced their priorities. The scoping paper was drafted by the Commission and based on relevant policy documents including the EU White Paper on Transport and coordination within the Commission services including DGs RTD, CNECT and ENER.

A first draft of the work programme for 2016/2017 will again be discussed with Member States during the 1st half of 2015 with a view to its adoption in autumn 2015. The TAG will continue meeting on priorities and furthermore exchanges on R&I priorities will continue with industry representative bodies such as ACARE, ERTRAC, ERRAC, ALICE and WATERBORNE. Such widespread consultation will ensure that all relevant voices can be taken into account for the final version of the work programme which will be adopted in the transport programme Committee where Member States and associated countries are represented.

40

External factors

Commission internal: DG MOVE can only directly control the planning of Horizon 2020 elements under its exclusive responsibility (mainly the systems parts). In order to agree on a harmonised approach on all transport relevant elements, DG MOVE will actively coordinate with DGs RTD, CNECT and ENER. Final results of that coordination depend on finding and agreeing on common positions. The overall Horizon 2020 process is managed by DG RTD and respective delays or changes in the finalisation of the work programme cannot be directly controlled by DG MOVE. Outside the Commission: The adoption of the work programme depends on the agreement within the respective programme committees and thus the positions and priorities of Member States.

Particular actions under the specific objective

Shift2Rail

Regarding the milestone objectives related to Shift2Rail (S2R), the Commission has an important role in the setting up and initial operation of the Joint Undertaking (JU). The Commission has launched in October 2014 the call for associated Members to the JU, is progressing with the selection of the Executive Director in view of a Board Decision in February 2015 and will issue a proposal for the Council endorsement of the S2R Master Plan by the end of 2015. The Commission has also designated an Interim Executive Director who is taking the necessary actions leading to the autonomy of the JU (staffing, housing, migration to ABAC, etc.) pending the recruitment of the Executive Director. In addition to its role in the setting up phase of the JU, the Commission is representing the EU in the Governing Board of S2R as one of the founding Members. While it detains 50% of the voting rights, external factors linked to the real commitment of the industry Members and the successful conclusion of the innovation and research activities will obviously influence the achievement of the long term targets. With the mid-term evaluation of activities (foreseen in 2017) the Commission will have the opportunity to check the initial results and take initiatives as appropriate.

The intervention logic of the specific objective is to promote research and innovation towards better mobility, less congestion, more safety and security as part of the general objective to contribute to a European transport system that is resource-efficient, climate- and environmentally-friendly, safe and seamless for the benefit of all citizens, the economy and society. Relevant activities support e.g. the development of sustainable urban mobility, the dissemination of best practices under the Civitas Forum and the use of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in all modes of transport. As regards the Horizon 2020 work programme for transport and external factors related to this, please see above under specific objective 7. Particular actions under the specific objective

Urban Mobility

The actions are intended to facilitate the achievement of sustainable urban mobility conditions through the dissemination and exchange of best practices as well as the provision to cities of guidance tools for them to use when developing local mobility policies. There is no firmly established indicator to measure how innovative cities are in their effort to move towards better, i.e. safer, more secure, and less congested – urban mobility. Therefore, the number of cities subscribing to the CIVITAS Forum network is taken as a proxy indicator (please see also explanation under point d). By joining this network, cities confirm they commit to work individually and with other cities towards the implementation of innovative measures for better and more sustainable urban mobility. The annual CIVITAS Forum will take place in Ljubljana. On sustainable urban mobility, the Commission will also work with the Member States through the Expert Group on Urban Mobility. It is important to note that the role of Commission on urban mobility is limited as the implementation of the policies is entirely in the hands of the Member States and in particular the cities themselves. Other examples of specific exogenous factors are the political and electoral importance of urban mobility in the cities, the budget available at city level to invest in urban mobility solutions, the gravity of problems (e.g. infringement on air quality) which require action thought innovative measures and

technologies at local level, size of the city (small and medium sized cities may need more external support than the capital cities). Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) The 2015 ITS Conference will promote the contribution of ITS to achieving a better, safer, more secure and efficient mobility; it will also be a platform to discuss and exchange views with the ITS Community. European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) ERTMS is targeted to safely control railway traffic and avoid collisions. A train equipped with the European train control system (which is the main part of the ERTMS) can also cross borders without stops because of different national systems. In addition, the European control command and signalling system plays an important role in increasing capacity, i.e. influencing the number of trains on a given line and the distance between them. The Commission works closely together with the European Railway Agency on the implementation of ERTMS. Actions in 2015 include the implementation of the ERTMS coordinator's workplan and the preparation of an updated European Deployment Plan, covering the core railway network to be equipped with the system by 2030 (cf. TEN regulation). Support for ERTMS deployment is available from the Connecting Europe Facility and the new European Fund for Strategic Investments. It should be noted that the deployment of the system depends to a large extent on factors external to the Commission, such as on the willingness of Member States to move forward and on their financial capacity (EU funds alone are not enough).
