| Workers' right to conscientious objection | |
| 1. The fundamental right to conscientious objection, as recognised by the EU Charter, fully applies to transport workers. | |
| 2. Workers and their representative Trade Unions in dual use infrastructure or in a company contracted to do military mobility must be informed in a timely and transparent manner of the purpose of a given operation. | |

| 3 a. Access to shipping registries shall be limited to necessary data and subject to confidentiality safeguards and Member State competences |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 4. The Commission shall equally be granted access to the registries specified under paragraphs 1 to 3, with a view to identify dual-use vehicles, vessels or aircraft. | deleted |
This is sensitive information in terms of national security. The Commission has the option to request this information on a case-by-case basis, but automatically sharing access to databases with all this sensitive information goes too far.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 4. The Commission shall equally be granted access to the registries specified under paragraphs 1 to 3, with a view to identify dual-use vehicles, vessels or aircraft. | deleted |
These registries contain sensitive commercial and personal data, and such broad access appears disproportionate and insufficiently justified. Moreover, conferring these power on the Commission would encroach upon Member States' exclusive jurisdiction over their registries. In the case of ship registries in particular, this jurisdiction is firmly grounded in international law, including the UNCLOS.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 4. The Commission shall equally be granted access to the registries specified under paragraphs 1 to 3, with a view to identify dual-use vehicles, vessels or aircraft. | 4. Upon request from the Commission, Member States shall make available only those data from the registries specified under paragraphs 1 to 3 that are strictly necessary (“need-to-know”) for the purpose of identifying selected categories of dual-use vehicles, vessels or aircraft. Such access shall be provided on an ad hoc, case-by-case basis and shall not entail permanent or direct technical access of the Commission to national registries. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |

| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 4. The Commission shall equally be granted access to the registries specified under paragraphs 1 to 3, with a view to identify dual-use vehicles, vessels or aircraft. | 4. The Commission may equally be granted access to the registries specified under paragraphs 1 to 3, while respecting the powers of the Member States. Members States shall ensure that the Commission has an overview to identify dual-use vehicles, vessels or aircraft. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| Article36a | |
| Right to refuse risky areas | |
| 1. This Regulation shall not be interpreted or applied so as to restrict or undermine the rights of workers involved in the transport of military equipment, related goods or personnel to refuse to participate in operations conducted in or over conflict zones, warlike zones or other high‑risk areas, nor shall any worker be subject to any penalty, disadvantage or retaliatory measure for exercising such right. | |
| 2. Member States shall ensure that operators duly inform workers, in good time and in an appropriate manner, of the classification of the area concerned, of the nature and level of the risks involved, and of the applicable rights, protection measures and compensation arrangements. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |

| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (a) identify categories of railway vehicles most suitable for use as part of a military transport; | (a) identify categories of railway vehicles most suitable for use as part of a military transport, with a focus on identifying vehicles used for medical evacuations; |

| 1. By [six months following the entry into force of this Regulation], each Member State shall designate a National Coordinator for Cross-Border Military Transport with permanent availability, to ensure coordination and effective communication on cross-border military transport. | 1. By [six months following the entry into force of this Regulation], each Member State shall designate a National Coordinator for Cross-Border Military Transport with permanent availability, to ensure coordination and effective communication on cross-border military transport. Each Member State shall ensure that its National Coordinator for Cross-Border Military Transport maintains uninterrupted availability on a 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week basis, including by designating a deputy National Coordinator or an on-call duty officer with equivalent authority and access to all relevant systems and information, and shall communicate the contact details of both the National Coordinator and the designated deputy or duty officer to the Commission and to all other Member States through the Military Mobility Transport Group. |
Article 40(1) requires that the National Coordinator have "permanent availability" but does not specify what this means in operational terms or require any backup designation. In practice, permanent availability of a single designated official is operationally unrealistic — illness, leave, and other absences mean that genuine 24/7 availability requires a formal backup arrangement. The absence of a deputy designation or duty officer requirement creates a structural vulnerability in the permission and notification chain precisely at the moments — nights, weekends, public holidays — when military transport operations are most likely to be time-critical. Article 9 of the Regulation guarantees uninterrupted military transport; Article 40 should provide the institutional underpinning for that guarantee. The requirement to communicate contact details to all Member States through the Military Mobility Transport Group is operationally necessary and follows standard NATO practice for national points of contact.

|---|---|
| (e) maintains a permanent liaison with the national civil protection authority, in order to ensure coordination between military transport operations and civil protection operations in the event of large-scale natural or man-made disasters requiring military logistical support. |
The National Coordinator for Cross-Border Military Transport is the central operational node of the permission and coordination system established by this Regulation. As currently defined, the Coordinator's role is exclusively oriented towards military transport in a security context. Member States with operational experience of large-scale natural disasters — including earthquakes, wildfires and floods requiring military logistical deployment — have found that the absence of a standing coordination mechanism between military transport authorities and civil protection structures causes delays precisely when speed is most critical. Adding a liaison obligation costs nothing, requires no new institutional structure, and directly improves the operational effectiveness of both the military transport framework and the civil protection response by ensuring that the two systems are connected at the national coordination level.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 2 a. Member States shall ensure that the National Coordinator is equipped with the necessary competencies, authority and resources to effectively perform its functions under this Regulation. | |

| (c) be capable of effectively coordinating relevant authorities and stakeholders at national, regional and local level; | |
| (d) be able to manage procedures related to EMERS, including the handling and prioritisation of urgent and high-priority requests. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |

| 2 a. Member States shall ensure timely public communication when military transport operations are expected to significantly disrupt civilian transport. Where EMERS is activated, the Commission shall coordinate public communication on the activation and its expected impact.

|---|---|
| 2 b. The National Coordinator shall promote national implementation plans, to be designed with the full involvement of social partners, particularly within the transport sub-sectors concerned by military mobility, in order to define work organisation, training and safety requirements necessary for the implementation of this Regulation, as well as to ensure that the the measures necessary to implement this Regulation at national level remain proportionate. |

Article 41 as drafted contains no transparency or accountability requirements beyond the obligation to adopt rules of procedure. The publication of an annual work programme and meeting summaries — subject to the classification requirements already established in Article 50 — is consistent with standard practice for Commission advisory bodies under the comitology framework and ensures that the European Parliament, Member States not represented at a given meeting, and relevant stakeholders maintain adequate visibility of the Group's activities. This is particularly important given that the Military Mobility Transport Group's advice directly informs Commission implementing acts with significant operational and financial consequences.

Article 43 provides for stress tests to evaluate military transport readiness but does not prioritise any geographic area. The Union's southern and south-eastern external borders — including the Adriatic coast and the borders with Western Balkan countries — represent the flank most exposed to instability from multiple potential crisis scenarios. NATO exercises have focused on the eastern flank. A simple textual addition ensures that stress testing is geographically balanced and that the southern corridor receives equivalent operational scrutiny without creating any new procedural requirements.
