  • 6. Tackling Congestion
    6. Tackling Congestion Reducing the levels of congestion remains a fundamental objective in this Plan. This not only look at addressing congestion related problems currently being experienced in Southend but at managing expected traffic growth in the future. The latter is essential in ensuring future aspirations for the Borough are realised, especially plans for regeneration and intensification of the urban area. Southend already experiences significant delays on many sections of its key routes. Without intervention, overall traffic levels on local highway network during the morning peak hour are forecast to grow by over 20% by 2011 and 35% by 2016. As a result, peak hour traffic conditions will deteriorate significantly with journey times on strategic routes expected to increase by between 50% and 75% by 2011, and doubling by 2016. It is clear that the strategy for reducing congestion has synergies with the transport measures and policies identified to deliver other shared priorities, namely accessibility, safer roads, better air quality and quality of life. Improvement in terms of accessibility and safety will make alternatives to the car more attractive, and similarly reducing traffic levels and congestion will likely reduce numbers of accidents and impacts on air quality. An Overview to Achieving the Shared Priority The LTP strategy will help deliver improved and more reliable journey times for all road users and seek to redress the balance of the transport system by making non-car modes a far more attractive alternative to the car for many trips. The strategy is based on managing the existing network, as well as reinforcing and strengthening measures and policies aimed at influencing people’s travel behaviour and ultimately promoting sensible travel choices.

Dabei liegt die grundlegende Herausforderung der Beteiligungspolitik des Bundes darin, sich auf ihre Kernaufgaben zu konzentrieren und diese klar zu definieren. Konkrete Maßstäbe sind dabei die Wirtschaftlichkeit der Aufgabenerfüllung sowie insbesondere ein „wichtiges Bundesinteresse“ an der Beteiligung. Denn bereits die Bundeshaushaltsordnung stellt klar: Öffentlicher Unternehmensbesitz ist nur legitimiert, wenn ein wichtiges Bundesinteresse vorliegt, und auch nur dann, wenn der vom Bund angestrebte Zweck nicht besser und wirtschaftlicher durch Private erfüllt werden kann; andernfalls besteht ein Privatisierungsgebot. Aber selbst wenn ein öffentliches Interesse vorliegt, ist eine Kapitalbeteiligung des Staates an einem Unternehmen dann nicht erforderlich, wenn der Zweck durch andere Mittel (z. B. durch Regulierung) erfüllt werden kann. Das Haushaltsrecht spiegelt damit die ökonomische und politische Grundüberzeugung wieder, dass privater Initative

  • Die Beteiligungen Des Bundes
    Die Beteiligungen des Bundes Beteiligungsbericht 2015 Die Beteiligungen des Bundes Beteiligungsbericht 2015 Beteiligungsbericht des Bundes 2015 Seite 3 Vorwort Dr. Wolfgang Schäuble Bundesminister Mitglied des Deutschen Bundestages Zum Portfolio der Unternehmensbeteiligungen des Bundes gehören Beteiligungen an Unternehmen, die auch einer breiten Öffentlichkeit bekannt sind. Dazu zählen etwa die Deutsche Telekom AG und die Deutsche Bahn AG als unmittelbare Beteiligungen sowie die Deutsche Post AG als mittelbare Beteiligung. Um dem Informationsanspruch der Öf- fentlichkeit zu entsprechen, gibt der vorliegende Beteiligungsbericht einen umfassenden Überblick über den aktuellen Bestand der Unternehmensbeteiligungen des Bundes. Er in- formiert ausführlich über das Portfolio an unmittelbaren und mittelbaren Bundesbeteili- gungen und liefert wesentliche Informationen zu den einzelnen Unternehmen – beispiels- weise zu Geschäftsfeld und Geschäftsentwicklung, zur Höhe der Zuwendungen aus dem Bundeshaushalt, zu den Mitarbeiterzahlen und zur Zusammensetzung der Geschäftsfüh- rungen und der Überwachungsgremien. Mit diesem Bericht kommt der Bund auch seiner Pflicht zur Transparenz und Offenlegung gegenüber dem Parlament nach. Er informiert über den Rechtsrahmen und aktuelle, für die Unternehmen mit Bundesbeteiligungen maßgebliche Themen. Daran schließt sich die Auflistung der einzelnen Unternehmen an. Es entspricht einem wichtigen ordnungspolitischen Grundsatz unserer Sozialen Markt- wirtschaft, dass staatliche Unternehmensbeteiligungen auf ein Minimum zu reduzieren sind. Aus diesem Grund nimmt die fiskalische Bedeutung der Bundesbeteiligungen auf lange Sicht stetig ab. Denn seine Beteiligungen führt der Bund nicht, um sein Vermögen zu mehren, sondern um öffentliche Aufgaben zu erfüllen. Sie setzen ein „wichtiges Bundesin- teresse“ voraus und müssen im Sinne dieses Interesses zwingend erforderlich sein. Seite 4 Vorwort Verantwortungsbewusstes unternehmerisches Handeln schließt eine nachhaltige Unter- nehmensführung, die sich an marktwirtschaftlichen Prinzipien orientiert, ein.
