This document should not be considered either as an official statement of the position of the European Commission or of the expert's Member States. The drafting of this report has been provided by a Working Group of the Joint Expert Group. 2 Joint Expert Group on Reduction of Energy Use in Transport – Introduction I Introduction Mobility - a natural part of human life - brings people together and is the means for uniting business and communities in Europe and for connecting Europe to the world. In this respect mobility is a driver for economic prosperity and quality of life. Due to, inter alia, the progress in technology, the availability of fuels at relatively low costs and the general increase in wealth mobility takes place, overwhelmingly and increasingly, in form of motorised transport which, consequently, has been becoming a major driver for energy demand, pollution and environmental nuisances like noise, entailing high social and environmental costs. Moreover, the establishment of the European Union has created a freely functioning market for labour, capital, and goods and services which, in general, sets a frame for an increase in mobility demand. In so far the key policy objectives of the EU are in itself a major mobility driver. In order to overcome the conflict between the environmental burden caused by motorised transport and the policy objectives of sustainable development the EU defined in the 2001 White Paper on transport as a policy goal to decouple transport growth from economic growth. In implementing this policy the EU is faced with the challenge of dealing with an increased pressure from growth in the transport sector, partly also driven by the recent enlargement of the EU, while securing sustainability. At the same time EU polices aim at meeting the economic and competitiveness objectives set out in the Lisbon Agenda as well as the objective to integrate environmental aspects into other EU policy areas, as endorsed by the Cardiff European Council. Having in mind these framework conditions, the Joint Expert Group on Transport and Environment (JEGTE) identified at its Meeting of 21 April 2005 as a priority topic for its 2005 work programme the energy efficiency and energy use management in transport. In assisting the Joint Expert Group on Transport and Environment in its work on this topic a Working Group was established and asked in the terms of reference to address the following issues: • Identification of potential measures for reducing energy use and potential energy savings; • Assessment of achieved savings from measures implemented; • Identification of areas where there is synergy between reducing energy use and other policy areas such as safety, health and the environment; • Identification of examples of best practice; • Identification of appropriate EU level action and appropriate authorities to take responsibility for measures; • Assessment of the transport part of the Green Paper on energy efficiency in the context of the above process; • Development of recommendations for desirable action at Community level. The work of the Working Group should consider factors influencing energy use in transport over the whole chain including transport demand, modal choice, logistics, vehicle efficiency 1 Joint Expert Group on Reduction of Energy Use in Transport – Introduction and vehicle use. Assessment of measures to reduce energy use in surface transport1 should cover their technical potential, economic and environmental implications and policy implementation issues. It was agreed that the work of the group should build on existing knowledge and that it is important to identify what could be done at EU level, good and bad practices and barriers to the introduction of measures. For each measure the group should aim to identify its potential, the time frame, political acceptability and synergy with other policies. The boundary conditions relevant for the work of the Working Group are very well known. The growth of energy use and the associated emissions of CO2 from the transport sector are of concern for environmental and security of supply reasons. The key statistics paint an alarming picture of the transport sector in the EU. Just to repeat the most striking ones: 1 About 1/3 of the final energy consumption in EU 25 is caused by transport2, and road transport is by far the dominating sector, consuming nearly 90 % of the energy used for transport purposes.

  • European Train Names: a Historic Outline Christian Weyers
    ONOMÀSTICA BIBLIOTECA TÈCNICA DE POLÍTICA LINGÜÍSTICA European Train Names: a Historic Outline* Christian Weyers DOI: 10.2436/15.8040.01.201 Abstract This paper gives a first overview of the onomastic category of train names, searches to classify the corpus and reviews different stages of their productivity. Apart from geographical names (toponyms, choronyms, compass directions) generally indicating points of origin and destination of the trains in question, a considerable number of personal names have entered this category, of classical literary authors, musicians and scientists, but also of many fictional or non-fictional characters taken from literature or legendary traditions. In some cases also certain symbolic attributes of these persons and finally even heraldic figures have given their names to trains. In terms of their functionality, train names originally were an indicator of exclusiveness and high grade of travel quality, but they developed gradually, as they dispersed over the European continent, into a rather unspecific, generalized appellation, also for regional and local trains. After two periods of prosperity after 1950, the privatisation of railway companies starting in the 1990s had again a very positive effect on the category, as the number of named trains initially reached a new record in this decade. ***** The first train names appeared in England in the 1860s in addition to names for steam locomotives, and on two different levels. The Special Scotch Express between London King’s Cross and Edinburgh (inaugurated in 1862) was called by the public The Flying Scotsman from the 1870s, but it succeeded as the official name not before 1924. Also the names of the German diesel trainsets Der Fliegende Hamburger and Der Fliegende Kölner were colloquial name creations, as were the Train Bleu and the Settebello operated from 1922 and 1953 but officially named in 1947 and 1958, respectively.

  • 20 Jahre Intercity in Österreich
    Herbert Kröll: 20 Jahre Intercity in Österreich 20 Jahre Intercity in Österreich Intercity, 20 Jahre danach Der „Intercity“ steht in Österreich im unmittelbaren Zusammenhang mit der Einführung des NAT 91 (Neuer Austrotakt-Takt 91). Mit 2. Juni 1991 trat der seit Jahrzehnten umfangreichste Fahrplan der ÖBB in Kraft, der die erste Etappe eines integrierten Taktsystems im Rahmen des Vorhabens „Neue Bahn“ verwirklichen sollte. 20 Jahre danach kann vom Scheitern dieses Zieles gesprochen werden. Einige damals im Takt verkehrenden Nebenstrecken wurden Opfer der Nebenbahneinstellungen und auch innerösterreichische ehemalige Taktlinien wie Wien-Zell am See-Innsbruck, Graz-Linz, Graz-Salzburg und Graz- Innsbruck existieren nicht mehr bzw. werden nur mehr durch einzelne Züge bedient. Politischer Unwille, eine aufgeblähte Bürokratie, engstirniges Denken, komplizierte eigenständige Verkehrsverbünde und der vorgeschobene wirtschaftliche Sparzwang, haben zu teilweise katastrophalen Zuständen im österreichischen Fernverkehr der Bahn geführt. Ab Dezember 2011 wird Graz, die zweitgrößte Stadt Österreichs, im österreichischen Bahnfernverkehr nur mehr mit Wien und 3 Mal täglich mit Salzburg verbunden sein. Die Verbindung nach Klagenfurt erfolgt mit Intercity-Bus auf der Autobahn, ebenso sollen Linz und Salzburg eventuell mit dem Intercity-Bus auf der Autobahn eingebunden werden. Als Ersatz haben bereits 3 Busbetreiber um eine Konzession für Graz-Salzburg angesucht. Der 2-geleisige Ausbau St.Michael-Selzthal zur Hochleistungsstrecke sowie Ausbauten der Pyhrn- und Ennstalstrecke werden somit zu Fehlinvestitionen, da der Zugverkehr immer mehr eingeschränkt wird. Auch die Tagesverbindungen über Tarvisio nach Venedig wurden von Bahn auf Intercitybus umgestellt. Im Sommer verkehren am Wochenende sogar 5 Buskurse zwischen Klagenfurt und Venedig. Vom ehrgeizigen Ziel der Vertaktung einer vernetzten Bahninfrastruktur ist nicht mehr viel übrig.

  • Branding Brussels Musically: Cosmopolitanism and Nationalism in the Interwar Years
    BRANDING BRUSSELS MUSICALLY: COSMOPOLITANISM AND NATIONALISM IN THE INTERWAR YEARS Catherine A. Hughes A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Annegret Fauser Mark Evan Bonds Valérie Dufour John L. Nádas Chérie Rivers Ndaliko © 2015 Catherine A. Hughes ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Catherine A. Hughes: Branding Brussels Musically: Cosmopolitanism and Nationalism in the Interwar Years (Under the direction of Annegret Fauser) In Belgium, constructions of musical life in Brussels between the World Wars varied widely: some viewed the city as a major musical center, and others framed the city as a peripheral space to its larger neighbors. Both views, however, based the city’s identity on an intense interest in new foreign music, with works by Belgian composers taking a secondary importance. This modern and cosmopolitan concept of cultural achievement offered an alternative to the more traditional model of national identity as being built solely on creations by native artists sharing local traditions. Such a model eluded a country with competing ethnic groups: the Francophone Walloons in the south and the Flemish in the north. Openness to a wide variety of music became a hallmark of the capital’s cultural identity. As a result, the forces of Belgian cultural identity, patriotism, internationalism, interest in foreign culture, and conflicting views of modern music complicated the construction of Belgian cultural identity through music. By focusing on the work of the four central people in the network of organizers, patrons, and performers that sustained the art music culture in the Belgian capital, this dissertation challenges assumptions about construction of musical culture.
