The European Economic and Social Committee adopted its opinion on 9 December 2021, the
European Committee of the Regions adopted its opinion on 26 January 2022.
5.
The Council agreed on a general approach on 2 June 2022.
6.
The European Parliament designated the Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN) as
the committee responsible and Mr Ismail ERTUG (DE, S&D) was appointed as its rapporteur.
The European Parliament adopted its position in plenary on 19 October 2022.
During informal trilogue meetings, progress was made on various articles related to subjects such as liquefied methane, shore-side electricity, and technical specifications. Some articles still require agreement on certain thresholds, while discussions were held on other articles regarding national policy frameworks and data provisions.
Between 11 and 25 January 2023, three technical meetings were held to prepare for the third trilogue on 7 February. The Presidency presented compromise proposals and drafting suggestions in the Intermodal Transport Working Party. Negotiations focused on outstanding issues in Articles 9, 11, 12, and the reporting cluster. Progress was made on data provisions in Article 18, but some aspects still need further development and clarification.
Negotiations have begun on electric recharging for light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles, as well as hydrogen refueling for road transport. The Council and Parliament have clarified their positions on charging capacity. The Presidency has emphasized the need for reasonable traffic thresholds and provided data to support the argument that derogations should not affect the availability of charging stations.
The Council and Parliament will prioritize Article 5, which deals with payments for recharging, as it is more relevant to citizens. Once an agreement is reached on Article 5, the same approach will be used for Article 7, which focuses on infrastructure for recharging and refueling.
11.
There was also a discussion on the proposal from the Parliament in Article 12a to include
railway infrastructure in the scope of AFIR.
12.
Delegations have been informed about a preliminary agreement on Article 20 (exercise of the
delegation), Article 21 (committee procedure) and Article 23 (repeal). This will need to be
confirmed in the third trilogue.
13.
Article 24 (entry into force and date of application) was also discussed. This Article will be
left for the fourth trilogue.
The proposed mandate for the third informal trilogue aims to address outstanding articles, except for Article 21a, which is deemed unnecessary in the context of AFIR. It is suggested to focus on better regulation during negotiations rather than requesting the Commission to reconsider regulatory reduction later.
