".
At the beginning of next month the Commission expects to approve a White Paper on the common transport policy, which will be accompanied by a review of guidelines on the trans-European transport network and possibly other initiatives to promote less polluting and more efficient transport systems. These initiatives are intended to combat growing congestion, negative environmental effects, our over-dependence on oil and the high number of road accidents. The Commission is drawing up a set of economic measures regulating infrastructures to favour greater use of those transport modes that still have available capacity and are less harmful to the environment. The intended aim is to give a boost to new technologies and to encourage greater cooperation between transport modes.
To this end, the review of trans-European networks will be carried out in two stages. The first stage will focus on a few priority topics, emphasising the encouragement of rail freight transport. In the second stage, which is expected to begin before 2004, a more profound review of the guidelines will be conducted, looking especially at the enlargement of the Union and the environment, and the principal multi-mode transport routes will be determined.
The Commission’s guidelines concerning the Structural Fund programmes for 2000-2006 recommend that priority should be given to intermodal transport. The Commission will present a communication to show how these guidelines have been taken into account."@en1
