"There are three aspects of the present debate that need to be stressed: vehicle charging, environmentally-friendly vehicles and the internalisation of external costs.
The overriding priority of EU initiatives should be to guarantee the rights of EU citizens to unhampered mobility and its promotion through the consistent implementation of the EU infrastructure development plans. This is enshrined in principle 4 of the Treaty on the freedom of the internal market.
Investments in infrastructure development should be based on the designated environmental protection priorities which take into account the EU climate change targets. A modern integrated infrastructure should therefore be developed, while retaining the principles of intermodality and interoperability.
The costs of protecting the environment, noise, traffic congestion and protecting human health are integrally tied in with the modification of Europe’s rapidly developing infrastructure network. It would seem appropriate to make the ‘polluter pays’ principle, proposed in this document, binding. We should remember that the principle has been operational in the field of business in the EC for several years now."@en1
