on the work related to the Directive 2014/94/EU on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure
and 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

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 CIVITASENDURANCE 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 plans
EU 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 calls
6.URBACT III
7.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 stakeholders
Save the date – 2015 CEF Transport Info Day – 30 November 2015
The Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA) will organise a Connecting Europe
Facility (CEF) Transport Info Day for CEF Transport stakeholders and beneficiaries
on 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 gat
her 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.

Registrations to this event will only be possible through the Agency’s website, open later

EU Legislation: the Fourth Railway Package
A modification of the PSO regulation is currently examined in the frame of the Fourth Railway
Package. Main impacts of the PSO Regulation 1370/2007 :
•
A
European
legislative
framework
developments
•
Working
Groups
•
Foreseen
Activities 2011
•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.

Public
consultation
Public consultation for ITS Directive 2010/40/EU priority action (a) 'the
provision of a EU-wide multimodal travel information services’.
•The European Commission launched a public consultation on Provision of EU-wide
multimodal travel information services under the ITS Directive 2010/40/EU in September.
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. Check out this
link:http://ec.europa.eu/transport/themes/its/consultations/2015-its-mmtips_en.htm
Consultation period still open: 2/09/2015 – 24/11/2015
A stakeholder workshop is jointly organised between DG MOVE, TRL, TTR and Arup in
Brussels on the 4th of November. invitation letter by mrs Kopczyenska is available with me.
Request to complete a questionnaire before going to this workshop.
Register via the DG MOVE event homepage before October 28.

Fourth
Railway
Package:
Council’s
position
on the
market
pillar
The 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 longterm 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 release
