The European Parliament adopted in July a resolution that sets out the priorities for a sustainable European transport policy in the next ten years. The resolution puts high emphasis on a safer, cleaner and more efficient European transport system but also underlines its economic impact and need for more research. Consequently, the report gives reference to the completion of the Single European Sky and the SESAR program to enhance the EU’s competitiveness and efficiency. The resolution also makes the link between research leading to environmental improvements. Thus, the European Parliament states that for programs such as SESAR, not only research and development activities should be supported but also their application.
