European Commission Transport Policy October 2 informal meeting with DG MOVE (team of mrs Daniela Rosca) and “city networks” (EUROCITIES, TfL, POLIS, CeMR)

Exchange on the current situation in the implementation of the 2013 Urban Mobility Package, as well ason the work related to the Directive 2014/94/EU on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructureand the Clean Vehicles Directive 2009/33/EC and their impact on urban mobility.

I recall 8 out of 10 points that were discussed:•EU financial opportunities for sustainable urban mobility and Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning – Isabelle Maës•Directive 2014/94/EU on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure and Sustainable Transport Forum – José Fernandez Garcia•Clean vehicles directive 2009/33/EC and Access regulations guidelines – Kemal Onel•Urban logistics guidelines – Mans Lindberg•Road safety existing challenges in urban areas and injuries data – Maite Sanz Villegas•Multimodal Travel Information Services Specifications – Stephanie Leonard•Urban ITS Standardisation Mandate – Julie Rafaillac•Update on other Institutions current actions in the field of urban mobility – Marcello Beltrami Piaggio

European Commission Transport Policy Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning• UMP end of 2013: annex on how such a plan should be developed and how to deployed. Extensive guide to help cities build up develop and implement SUMPs• Action 1: set up a platform on SUMPs; external grouping of EU funding of project CIVITAS- ENDURANCE SOLUTIONS helpingwith the development of a SUMP. • Try to offer trainees for cities at SUMPs. 400 people from 150 citiesreceive training.• Organise a European conference on SUMPs 2014 in Sopot 2015 in Bucharest. Next one coming up (Bremen?).• Setting up of an expert group on urban mobility. Meets 2x a year.2 meetings already: kick start. Presentation and in-depth discussion on cycling (ECF, Austria) inspiration to enhance cycling in their territory. Aim is to mobilise the national level to give beter support to local representatives.• On car sharing expertise hired from the NL. 3rd topic: how some countries put tools in place to help development of SUMP. Spain: national funding to how to take up SUMP.• City of Bremen: results on what can be achieved. Have been invitations sent out to some of us.

DG MOVE Urban mobility plansEU financial opportunities

A document on the financial opportunities will be circulated. Many options only relevant for large projects.Cities will be asked to bundle and group their projects. Go to financial options as one. List of 10 financing options:

1.European Structure Funds and investment funds (2014-2020): 12 billion Euro. Grants given to MS. 24 of 28 MS are involved. Get in touch with your countries government. Partnership agreements. JASPERS: platform to help applicants to draw up applications. Regional development. EU-cohesion funds.2.CEF ((linked to TEN-T—>) € 50 mio available on "urban nodes” in total and €50 mio for Cohesion countries.3.EIB (loans and garantuees)4.a. ELENA, b. JESSICA (co financing projects on urban developments: MS to decide).5.INTERREG VB (Europe) (co-financing) working with calls6.URBACT III7.LIFE, all covered by the urban agenda.8.H2020: more type of projects than before. MG. 5.1.4. calls. 2014-2015 500 mio € is spent on urban mobility. 9.EFSI: Juncker plan on EU investments, employment: guarantees additional investment on public and private on all areas. Advisory group installed. EFSI is devised to drive forward private investments. Urban mobility is not the easiest area to have private funding and assess the ROI. UMP more domain of public funding. List of banks in MS that from (EFSI) can be financed. Advisory hub to help cities make their projects. 10.Hydrogyn fuel cell and hydrogen under (JTI).

Important for CEF stakeholdersSave the date – 2015 CEF Transport Info Day – 30 November 2015The Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA) will organise a Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Transport Info Day for CEF Transport stakeholders and beneficiarieson Monday 30 November 2015 at the Charlemagne building in Brussels, Belgium.The event will address the priorities of the 2015 CEF Transport Calls, expected to be opened by the beginning of November 2015.

The aim of the Info Day is to allow prospective applicants for these calls to gather all the available information they will be able to use in preparation of their proposal. Participants will be able to interact directly with Agency and European Commission staff as well as with fellow CEF stakeholders. https://ec.europa.eu/inea/en/news-events/events/2015-cef-transport-info-dayRegistrations to this event will only be possible through the Agency’s website, open later during October.

EU Legislation: the Fourth Railway PackageA modification of the PSO regulation is currently examined in the frame of the Fourth Railway Package. Main impacts of the PSO Regulation 1370/2007 :

•It makes public service contracts almost compulsory, •Establishes a minimum content for these public service contracts,•Defines rules on the way contracts should be awarded, limiting options for direct award •Defines the way compensation for fulfilment of public service obligations are calculated.Main objective of the on-going legislative procedure: enable the opening of the domestic passenger rail markets to competition.

Debate is continued among Council, European Parliament and the Commission. Three key issues emerge: -granting open access rights and conditions of their introduction, -additional measures to ensure non-discriminatory access to the network, -introducing the principle of competitive award for public service contracts for rail and conditions of its introduction.Stakeholders UITP-EMTA object: the regulation creates uncertainty among commissioning authorities that fear that the principle rule of tendering may disrupt the existing equilibrium in the public service contracts between urban authorities and their operators. Modifications should be limited to the minimum changes that are strictly necessary to open domestic rail passenger markets to competition. Legal insecurity should be avoided.

The objective of this consultation is to collect the opinions of stakeholders and interested parties including EU citizens and private and public organisations and gain (quantitative) evidence on the issues related to the provision of EU-wide multimodal travel information services.Goal: preparing a delegated act within the ITS Directive regarding the provision for EU-wide multimodal travel information.

Latest on the 4RWPThe European Council on 8 October 2015 agreed on two proposals to liberalise domestic rail passenger services and strengthen the governance of railway infrastructure, which together form part of the so-called market (or political) pillar of the fourth railway package.The proposals will allow train companies non-discriminatory access to rail networks in all EU countries to run domestic passenger services, either in open access or by bidding for PSO (Public Service Obligation) contracts.•The Council agreed that competitive tendering should be the main rule for awarding public service contracts, although certain exceptions - regarding small markets or to ensure ‘the long-term continuity’ of public rail transport services - will enable PSO contracts to be awarded directly.•The deadlines in the European Council’s position are longer than in the Commission’s proposal: it means that the direct award of PSO contracts without justification will still be possible for 10 years after the regulation enters into force. Existing, directly awarded public service contracts would be allowed to run until they expire.Check out the EC press releaseFor more content of the proposals of the Council check http://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2015/10/08-railway-market-opening-and-governance/.• On 3 December 2015, UITP organises a conference in Brussels,”Public Service Contracts for Rail and Road Passenger Services: Where do we stand?"•If you are interested to join, check this link http://www.uitp.org/europeanconference
