Translation of "mode choice " (English → French) :

12. Considers that the development of passenger and freight transport as a whole is largely dependent on effective use of the various modes of transport, and that the goal of European transport policy should therefore be efficient comodality, which is closely linked to the decarbonisation, safety and economic aspects of transport; believes that this will lead to an optimal reallocation between the different transport modes and a shift towards more sustainable transport modes, and will provide for interoperability within and between the modes, promote more sustainable transport and logistics chains and modal ...[+++]choices and enhance seamless traffic flows across modes and nodes;

1. Stresses that the internalisation into transport prices of the external costs of transport (local emissions, CO2 emissions, habitat fragmentation, and health costs) in a fair, non-discriminatory way across the transport modes, graduated by level of pollution, would lead to an environmentally friendly choice of transport mode.

It is equally important that we help to balance the choice of mode of transport by internationalising external costs and exploiting the differences in internal charges and costs for coordination of more compatible modes of transport too.

From an energy point of view, increased travel mode choices result in a better transportation sector.

The Commission suggests examination of measures in the following fields: - standards . setting strict environmental standards for the various modes of transport as well as for water, air and soil - and ensuring compliance; - planning . making optimum use of existing modes of transport and making those modes that are less destructive of the environment more competitive; . developing the kind of infrastructure that will permit the operation of modes of transport that provide an alternative to road transport , and promoting public urban and inter-urban transport; - safety . safety in the carriage of dangerous goods; - taxation .taking e ...[+++]xternal costs into account; - economic and tax incentives .encouraging less polluting means of transport; - research . stimulating research aimed at developing 'clean' vehicles and fuels and at traffic management; - information . informing users to make them aware of the consequences their individual choices have for the environment. The outcome of the debate on this Green Paper should provide an insight into the way which it will be possible to achieve the objectives of "sustainable mobility", i.e. to allow transport to fulfill its economic and social functions while limiting its negative effects on the environment and safeguarding the users' free choice .

In the military context, however, the prosecution has the choice of mode of trial while, if a member of the CF were prosecuted before the civilian courts for the same offence, the choice of mode of trial would belong to him or her, not the prosecution.
