Combined goods transport: financial assistance to action pilots PACT

The Commission's amended proposal retained, in full or in part, four of the amendments adopted by the European Parliament at first reading. These hoped to: - ensure that the innovative measures supported under the PACT programme (Pilot Actions for Combined Transport) related to specific operational measures, which was an important detail; - stress the importance of ensuring that the proposals promoted conformity with the main axes of the trans-European networks and freight freeways; - promote aid to help with the costs of access to inland waterway infrastructure; - highlight the importance of synergies with the PHARE programme. �
