Decision No 884/2004/EC should read as follows:

DECISION No 884/2004/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 29 April 2004

amending Decision No 1692/96/EC on Community guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 156 thereof,

Having regard to the proposals from the Commission (1),

Having regard to the Opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),

Having regard to the Opinion of the Committee of the Regions (3),

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (4),

Whereas:

| (1) | Decision No 1692/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) laid down Community guidelines for the trans-European transport network, identifying projects of common interest intended to contribute to the development of that network and, in Annex III, identifying the specific projects to which the European Council attached particular importance at its meetings in Essen in 1994 and in Dublin in 1996. |

| (2) | Growth in traffic, in particular due to the growing share of heavy goods vehicles, has resulted in increased congestion and bottlenecks on international transport corridors. In order to ensure international mobility of goods and passengers, it is therefore necessary to optimise the capacity of the trans-European transport network. |

Growth in traffic, in particular due to the growing share of heavy goods vehicles, has resulted in increased congestion and bottlenecks on international transport corridors. In order to ensure international mobility of goods and passengers, it is therefore necessary to optimise the capacity of the trans-European transport network.

| (3) | The Gothenburg European Council in 2001 invited the Community institutions to adopt revised guidelines for the trans-European transport network, with a view to giving priority, where appropriate, to infrastructure investment for railways, inland waterways, short sea shipping, intermodal operations and effective interconnections. In this framework, the contribution of inland waterways ports and regional airports to the objectives of the trans-European transport network should not be underestimated. |

| (4) | The forthcoming enlargement of the European Union and the objective of shifting the balance between transport modes and achieving an infrastructure network capable of meeting growing needs, together with the fact that it could take over 10 years to complete some of the priority projects, call for re-examination of the list of projects in Annex III to Decision No 1692/96/EC. |

| (5) | Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Cyprus, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Turkey have concluded association agreements and Europe agreements and have applied for membership of the European Union. The transport administrations of 11 of these countries have carried out, with the support of the Commission, a transport infrastructure needs assessment aimed at defining a network according to the same principles as laid down in Decision No 1692/96/EC. |

| (9) | In its report submitted to the Commission on 30 June 2003, the High-Level Group on the trans-European transport network (hereinafter ‘the High-Level Group’) identified a limited number of priority projects using a methodology based on criteria which include, in particular, their potential economic viability, the degree of commitment on the part of the Member States concerned to keeping to a timetable agreed in advance in the programming of projects, their impact on the mobility of goods and persons between Member States, and their impact on cohesion and sustainable development. The report also includes projects in the new Member States which will join the Union on 1 May 2004. The results of such cooperation should be taken into account. |

Funding for transport infrastructure should also be conditional on compliance with the provisions of Community environmental legislation, in particular Council Directive 85/337/EEC of 27 June 1985 on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (7) and Council Directives 79/409/EEC of 2 April 1979 on the conservation of wild birds (8) and 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (9). |

| (13) | The Commission White Paper on the European transport policy calls for an integrated approach combining, inter alia, measures to revitalise the rail sector, in particular for freight services, to promote inland waterway shipping and short sea shipping, to encourage greater complementarity between high speed rail and air transport and to promote the development of interoperable intelligent transport systems in order to ensure increased network efficiency and safety. |

| (14) | The efficiency of the common transport policy depends, inter alia, on the coherence of measures to revitalise the rail sector and to develop the rail infrastructure. Directive 2001/12/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2001 amending Council Directive 91/440/EEC on the development of the Community's railways (10) provides for a trans-European rail freight network open to international freight transport services after 2003. The lines of the trans-European rail freight network should be considered as part of the rail network defined by the guidelines set out in Decision No 1692/96/EC so that they can benefit from investments and attract traffic from the road. |

Establishment of such mechanisms, backed up, inter alia, by tendering procedures, should be transparent and geared to needs and should in no way prejudice the Community rules on competition or on public procurement. |

| (20) | A situation in which national procedures for the assessment of the environmental and socioeconomic impact of a project are carried out separately by Member States may prove to be inappropriate to the transnational dimension of projects declared to be of European interest. In order to resolve this, coordinated evaluation and public consultation procedures or transnational enquiry procedures covering the different Member States concerned and focusing on the socioeconomic and environmental aspects should be developed, in addition to joint evaluation methods. These procedures should apply without prejudice to the obligations imposed by the Community legislation on environmental protection. |

| (23) | The Commission has conducted an analysis of the impact of the recommendations made by the High-Level Group. The results show that carrying out the projects identified by the Group, combined with several of the measures under the Common Transport Policy, such as charging for the use of infrastructure and opening up rail freight to competition, would produce significant benefits in terms of time savings, lower emissions and less congestion, better access to peripheral Member States and to the new Member States, and greater general well-being. |
