What they argued
SNCF welcomes the upcoming revision of the Weights and Dimensions Directive and the opportunity to share its view on this complementary piece of the revision of the Combined Transports Directive. Together, we believe they will create the right framework helping the combined transport to reach the objectives to increase the rail freight traffic by 50% in 2030 and double by 2050 as stated in the Smart and Sustainable…
The SNCF group welcomes the Commission’s initiative to issue guidelines to the Member States for the adoption of their national plans for the acceleration of renewable energy sources. The consultation will make it possible to compile best practices at European level in order to effectively guide the implementation of Directive 2023/2413. The SNCF group calls for the swift adoption of these national plans.

Please find the SNCF Group’s contribution to the consultation attached. While the EU has set the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 55 % by 2030 and transport emissions by 90 % by 2 050 in its main objectives, it is becoming increasingly urgent to increase the modal share of the most sustainable transport and to support the development of the rail mode.

Continuous improvement of travellers’ experience is a priority for the SNCF group, even beyond legal obligations. The Commission’s proposal for a regulation is therefore a priority issue. However, it comes in a context of a nascent market and must not prevent the emergence of new multimodal offers by creating an inadequate framework.

SNCF welcomes the publication of the inception impact assessment regarding the revision of the Combined Transport directive. Combined transport is one of the main drivers for achieving the ambitious growth targets for rail freight. In the context of the forthcoming revision of the Combined Transport Directive, the potential of intermodal solutions must be exploited.
SNCF Group very much welcomes the consultation launched by the European Commission regarding the VAT rules on passenger transport. SNCF Group has been calling for a long time for a fiscal level playing field between the different modes of transport, in particular when it comes to VAT. The difference in treatment between modes gives a clear advantage to the air sector both financially and administratively.

The position of SNCF on the Telematics TSI EN07 is following. ERA published the TAF/TAP recommendations in January 2022 after 4 years of work by the ERA TAF and TAP working parties according to the TSI revision mandate (decision 2017/1474) and traceability of the modifications in the ERA CCM Revision tool. As first output an intermediate revision was included by amendment in TAF TSI in 2021.
The SNCF group welcomes the Commission’s decision to adopt soon a block exemption regulation for land transport, which aims to simplify the allocation of aid in order to promote and support less polluting modes of transport, in particular rail. Several aid schemes that have proven to be effective should benefit from this exemption and in particular aid for the transport of goods.
