90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from
transport, the associations stressed that this
requires substantial investment in infrastructure and
transport fleets. In addition, the associations have pointed out that
the objectives of the Green Deal for Europe to become
a climate-neutral economy by 2050 can be
achieved only by increasing the sustainability of the
transport and noted that, in this regard, the budget of the
Connecting Europe Facility II mechanism does not appear sufficient to
allow the necessary transformation.

facilitate transport and digitalisation economically and
socially sustainable in the transport and logistics sectors,
measures that promote cohesion and connectivity,
promoting liveable cities and regions, supporting a
transition, supporting strategies for sustainable supply chains

the importance of transport measures economically and socially
sustainable in their assessment of national recovery plans and
Resilience.
