European Association for Forwarding, Transport, Logistics and Customs Services (CLECAT): CLECAT joins call to maintain Strong, Centralised EU Transport Funding Instrument (05.02.2025)
CLECAT, alongside 44 other organisations representative of Europe’s transport sector, has signed a letter urging Member States and the European Commission to preserve and strengthen a solid dedicated European transport funding instrument in the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). The letter, sent to the General Affairs and Finance Ministers of the EU Member States, raises deep concern over the Commission’s plans to redirect a large majority of the European transport funding into National Single Plan. This shift risks undermining Europe’s supply chain resilience, connectivity, and economic competitiveness at a time of increasing geopolitical tensions and ongoing climate challenges. The association notes it must be Europe’s top priority to strengthen and adapt EU’s infrastructure, address bottlenecks and missing links, and optimise its connectivity and capacity.

ECG - The Association of European Vehicle Logistics: Joint letter for the Clean Industrial Deal to deliver on decarbonisation and competitiveness (05.02.2025)
An alliance of cleantech businesses and civil society proposes 15 measures to deliver a joint roadmap for Europe's decarbonisation and competitiveness under the Clean Industrial Deal. This morning, 5 February 2025, T&E, alongside 15 other organizations, sent key recommendations to the Commission for the Clean Industrial Deal (CID), set for publication on 26 February 2025. The CID must provide robust incentives for EU-based industries to adopt cleantech, facilitating their transition toward decarbonised, circular, and innovative business models. The ongoing global cleantech race justifies public support for domestic industries, but such funding must guide companies toward meaningful decarbonisation.

European Transport Workers’ Federation (ETF): Offener Brief an die Minister des Rates „Allgemeine Angelegenheiten“ und die Minister des Rates „Wirtschaft und Finanzen“ - Ein wettbewerbsfähiges und widerstandsfähiges Europa erfordert einen stärkeren EU-Verkehrshaushalt (05.02.2025)
Der europäische Verkehrssektor ist das Rückgrat des EU-Binnenmarkts und seiner Außenwirkung. Ein starker Sektor ist eine Voraussetzung für den Aufbau eines wettbewerbsfähigen, klimaneutralen und widerstandsfähigen Europas. Der europäische Verkehrssektor fordert die Mitgliedstaaten und die Kommission dringend auf, im Rahmen des künftigen EU-Haushalts ein solides, dediziertes europäisches Finanzierungsinstrument für den Verkehr beizubehalten und zu stärken. Die europäische Koordinierung der Infrastruktur in ganz Europa ist wichtiger denn je. Sie ist die einzige Garantie dafür, dass der EU-Binnenmarkt reibungslos funktioniert, die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und Kohäsion Europas gefördert und seine Widerstandsfähigkeit und militärische Einsatzbereitschaft gestärkt werden. Der Verkehrssektor ist daher sehr besorgt über die Pläne der Kommission, einen großen Teil der europäischen Verkehrsmittel in nationale einheitliche Pläne umzulenken, und fordert die General- und Finanzminister der Mitgliedstaaten auf, der Kommission ein klares Signal für die Beibehaltung eines soliden, dedizierten europäischen Finanzierungsinstruments für den Verkehr zu senden.
