         on the European Parliament's amendments
     to the Council's common position regarding the
                       proposal for a

      pursuant to Article 189 a (2) of the EC Treaty
 ---pagebreak---  ---pagebreak---                            Explanatory memorandum
1. The objective of this proposal is to implement, in the transport infrastructure
   sector, the provisions of Article 129c(l), first indent, of the EC Treaty by
   establishing Community guidelines for the development of the trans-European
   transport network.
2. On 28 September 1995, the Council adopted common position (EC) No 22(95)
   with a view to adopting the decision of the European Parliament and of the
   Council on Community guidelines for the development of the Trans-European
   Transport Network. The Commission accepted this common position with certain
   reservations and communicated its opinion to the European Parliament on
   15 October 1995 (SEC(95)1429).
   At its plenary part-session on 13 December 1995, Parliament proposed
   111 amendments to the common position. The text thus amended reached the
   Commission on 3 January 1996.
3. In accordance with Article 189b(2)(d) of the Treaty, the Commission is delivering
   an opinion on those amendments. In respect of the amendments for which it
   delivers a favourable opinion, it is presenting an amended proposal pursuant to
   Article 189a(2) of the Treaty.
4. The    Commission     has delivered      a favourable    opinion on 39 of      the
   111 amendments adopted by Parliament at its plenary part-session and a negative
   opinion on the remaining 72. In particular, the Commission has accepted the
   amendments which coincide with a reservation expressed by the Commission on
   the Council's common position and which supplement or improve that common
   position. It has rejected, in particular, those amendments which tend to alter the
   common position as it had been accepted by the Commission and which, in the
 ---pagebreak---    Commission's judgment, represents a genuine improvement on the initial
   proposal.
   For the sake of clarity, this opinion is set out in the form of a summary table (I).
5. The amendments which the Commission has accepted in whole, in part or in
   principle have been suitably included in the amended proposal (II).
   In the case of amendments accepted in part or in principle (20), the Commission
   has reworded the text in such a way as to either clarify the wording of
   Parliament's amendments or to preserve their structure together with a consistent
   drafting of the proposal.
   In those cases where the Commission accepts the amendments while making some
   changes to them, it does so on the basis of the amended proposal of 22 February
   1995 (COM(95)48) and of 19 June 1995 (COM(95)298). This relates in particular
   to alterations made to the text of the proposal, to Annex I (maps of the networks)
   and to Annex III (list of priority projects).
   In Annex III, in the light of new information and on its own initiative, the
   Commission has altered the description of two priority projects.

With regard to the projects dealing with
the implementation of new technologies
and relating to traffic management and
which will improve the use of
infrastructure for all modes of transport
(land, sea, air) benefiting several
Member States, the following have been
identified as pilot schemes which should
be implemented within the next five
years:
      air traffic management:
      harmonization and integration of
      the national air traffic management
      systems within a unified system:
      road traffic management services:
      pilot schemes using traffic control
      centres and Radio Data System
      (RDS) - Traffic Message Channel
      (TMC):
      vessel traffic management and
      information services:
      a European ship reporting system:
      system of positioning and
      navigation:
      development and implementation
      of European components of the
      global navigation satellite system
      (GNSS):
      pilot projects for a rail traffic
      management system:
      control command systems for
      selected high-speed rail links.
For these projects, the provisions of
Article 16 are applicable.
