| 8 a. Notwithstanding Articles 17 and 18(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 2021/782 of the European Parliament and of the Council, railway undertakings shall not be held liable, and no financial compensation or reimbursement shall be due to passengers in the event of a delay, a missed connection, or a cancellation directly and exclusively caused by the granting of priority access or other emergency measures taken pursuant to this Article during the period of activation of EMERS, provided that the railway undertaking could not reasonably have avoided the delay, missed connection, or cancellation. | |

| 1 a. Where exemptions granted under this Article result in the use of civilian logistics infrastructures for the transit or temporary storage of military dangerous goods, Member States shall ensure that appropriate financial support or compensation mechanisms are available to cover the additional costs related to security, infrastructure adaptation and insurance. |
The handling of military dangerous goods may generate significant additional costs for civilian infrastructure operators, including investments in security systems, insurance coverage and operational adjustments. Dedicated EU financial support may be necessary, as civilian logistics infrastructures cannot reasonably be expected to absorb the operational, security and financial implications of military dangerous goods transport without appropriate public support.

|---|---|
| 1 a. Where exemptions granted under this Article result in the use of civilian logistics infrastructures for the transit or temporary storage of military dangerous goods, Member States shall ensure that appropriate financial support or compensation mechanisms are available to cover the additional costs related to security, infrastructure adaptation and insurance. |

| Abnormal military transport by road during the period of activation of EMERS | Military transport by road during the period of activation of EMERS |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| During the period of activation of EMERS, military transport by road carried out by vehicles or vehicle combinations which exceed the maximum weights or dimensions set out in Annex I to Directive 96/53/EC shall be permitted irrespective of whether the load is indivisible or not, without prejudice to any necessary traffic arrangements. | During the period of activation of EMERS, military transport by road carried out by vehicles or vehicle combinations which exceed the maximum weights or dimensions set out in Annex I to Directive 96/53/EC shall be permitted irrespective of whether the load is indivisible or not, without prejudice to any necessary traffic arrangements laid down by the competent authority in accordance with national law. |
EMERS aims to speed up traffic flow, but road safety and traffic management remain essential aspects. This amendment serves to clarify that traffic arrangements may still be imposed under national law to ensure operational control (escorts, time slots, route restrictions). This is also in line with the position paper's emphasis on mitigating the impact on traffic and civilian infrastructure, whilst enabling rapid military mobility.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| During the period of activation of EMERS, military transport by road carried out by vehicles or vehicle combinations which exceed the maximum weights or dimensions set out in Annex I to Directive 96/53/EC shall be permitted irrespective of whether the load is indivisible or not, without prejudice to any necessary traffic arrangements. | During the period of activation of EMERS, military transport by road carried out by vehicles or vehicle combinations corresponding with the characteristics of Article 4(3) and 4(4) of Directive 96/53/EC shall be permitted irrespective of whether the load is indivisible or not, without prejudice to any necessary traffic arrangements. |
This Regulation should remain fully compatible with Directive 96/53/EC, as amended, which currently only considers vehicles falling under Article 4(3) as abnormal load vehicles. Its scope should therefore not be limited to such vehicles. Other types of high-capacity vehicles should also be taken into account for military transport and should not be subject to the same rules as vehicles used for abnormal transport of indivisible loads. These include vehicles that do not comply with the characteristics set out in Annex I of Directive 96/53/EC, as well as those operating under the “modular concept”.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |

| During the period of activation of EMERS, Member States shall activate enhanced protection measures in relation to the strategic dual-use infrastructure located on their territories, identified in accordance with Article 33, to protect them, to make them resilient against all hazards and threats and to ensure their effective operation at all times. | During the period of activation of EMERS, Member States shall activate enhanced protection measures (including cybersecurity measures and measures to safeguard telecommunications) in relation to the strategic dual-use infrastructure located on their territories, identified in accordance with Article 33, to protect them, to make them resilient against all hazards and threats and to ensure their effective operation at all times. A transitional period shall begin on the date of entry into force of this Regulation to give Member States time to implement these protective measures. |
Enhanced protective measures under EMERS must cover both physical and digital dependencies (cybersecurity and telecommunications) to ensure the continuity of critical transport operations. A transitional period is needed to implement the technical and organisational measures in a realistic manner, thereby avoiding immediate non-compliance and ensuring effective protection rather than imposing a purely pro forma obligation.

| Member States may, where appropriate, make use of Union financial instruments to mitigate the economic impacts resulting from the implementation of these measures. |

| 1. During the period of activation of EMERS, and if the Solidarity Pool referred to in Article 35 is operational, the Commission, taking into account the advice of the Military Mobility Transport Group, may identify specific capabilities registered in the Solidarity Pool that are urgently needed to support certain Member States. In such cases, requests for those capabilities from the affected Member States and Member States that support military transport operations for the affected Member States shall be given priority consideration. | deleted |
| The sharing and coordination efforts under the Solidarity Pool referred to in Article 35 shall focus on supporting those priority requests, ensuring that the required capabilities are made available in a timely and efficient manner. | |
| Where Member States’ capabilities have been acquired, contracted or purchased, after the entry into force of this Regulation, with the financing support of any Union funding and could support priority requests in accordance with the first subparagraph of this paragraph, the Member States shall not invoke the exceptional situation requiring the use of their capabilities, referred to in Article 35(10) and (11). |

The revised TEN-T Regulation (Article 17(3)) foresees a structured assessment process regarding the possible transition of railway networks using gauges different from the European standard of 1435 mm. Member States are required to carry out, by July 2026, an evaluation of existing railway lines on European Transport Corridors, including a socio-economic cost-benefit analysis and an assessment of interoperability impacts. Only on the basis of this assessment may Member States, where appropriate, prepare transition plans identifying which lines could potentially be converted and in which timeframe. Including such requirement in the text pre-empts the national decisions of Member States and creates confusion regarding possible EU financing of such infrastructure in the future.

| (h) assess the readiness and capacity of port infrastructure identified as strategic dual-use infrastructure under Article 33 that serves as an entry or exit point of the military mobility corridor, including its rail and road access connections, load-bearing capacity for military cargo, and availability of secure storage facilities, and report the findings to the Commission and the Military Mobility Transport Group. |
Article 32(2) establishes a comprehensive cooperative assessment framework for Member States along the same military mobility corridor, covering infrastructure gaps, interoperability, and resilience. However, the assessment framework focuses exclusively on land-based infrastructure — roads, rail, tunnels, bridges — and does not include port infrastructure serving as the maritime entry or exit point of a corridor. For corridors that terminate at or originate from Adriatic or Baltic port infrastructure, the readiness and capacity of that port infrastructure is as operationally critical as the land-based segments. A port that cannot handle military cargo loads, lacks adequate rail connections, or has insufficient secure storage represents a bottleneck that renders the entire corridor assessment incomplete. This amendment closes that gap by adding port infrastructure to the cooperative assessment framework of Article 32(2), using the SDI definition already established in Article 33 as the qualifying criterion, ensuring that the assessment obligation applies only where port infrastructure has been formally identified as strategically relevant rather than creating a blanket obligation for all ports.

A request for support from the Solidarity Pool may also be submitted where a Member State requires transport and logistic capabilities to respond to a large-scale natural or man-made disaster and the capabilities available through the Union Civil Protection Mechanism are insufficient to meet the operational need. |
The Solidarity Pool is an instrument for addressing military transport capability gaps. However, the logistical capabilities registered in the Pool — heavy transport vehicles, specialist lifting equipment, mobile infrastructure — are precisely the assets most needed in large-scale natural disaster response. The Union Civil Protection Mechanism and rescEU provide a complementary framework but are limited to civilian assets and have demonstrated capacity constraints in major disaster scenarios. This single-sentence addition opens access to the Solidarity Pool for disaster response without restructuring the Pool or creating parallel command arrangements.
