"I voted against this. Commuters in Europe travel by road, creating bottlenecks, congestion and delays on Europe’s urban routes. Making better use of available capacity of waterborne passenger transport could help reduce congestion and CO2 emissions, improve air quality and provide better transport services overall. The provision of statistical data on the number of cross-border ferry, cruise and maritime services, would be crucial. Provisions on interconnectivity with other transport modes, integrated ticketing and information systems are needed, taking into account the needs and rights of all travellers, including people with reduced mobility, commuters and tourists. The EU passenger ship safety legislation has been put in place over a period of 15 years and mainly in response to accidents. It resulted in improved safety of life on passenger ships sailing in EU waters and facilitated search and rescue operations. It is proposed that vessels be cleaner and more energy efficient through investment in research and innovative technologies, e.g. with regard to solar and wind energy, onshore electricity and alternative fuels, while applying the principle of technology neutrality. Connected to this is the availability and use of EU funding such as the cohesion, structural, regional, INTERREG, Horizon 2020, CEF, TEN-T and EFSI funds."@en1
