Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(60) Large numbers of rail vehicles might be considered for dual-use and necessary to fulfil the military transport purposes of the railways. The European Union Agency for Railways (‘ERA’) should be allowed to assist the Commission in establishing criteria for the identification of suitable vehicles. Moreover, in order to bring rail vehicles involved in military transport rapidly and effectively into operation, processes should be streamlined and Member States should be allowed to delegate the authorisation of vehicles that can be used for military transports to ERA. After having granted vehicle authorisations, ERA should be given powers similar to Member States to update information in the European vehicle register (‘'EVR’) with immediate effect. Regulation (EU) 2016/796 of the European Parliament and of the Council22 and Directive (EU) 2016/797 should be amended accordingly. Finally, more generally Regulation (EU) 2016/796 of the European Parliament and the Council should be amended to reflect the European Union Agency for Railways’ role in supporting military mobility by enhancing preparedness, resilience and security of the railway system.(60) Large numbers of rail vehicles might be considered for dual-use and necessary to fulfil the military transport purposes of the railways.

Regulation (EU) 2024/2803 of the European Parliament and of the Council23 , which entered into force on 1 December 2024, aims to bolster the resilience of critical air traffic infrastructure. It mandates that providers of Communication, Navigation, and Surveillance systems, Aeronautical Information Services, Automatic Dependent Surveillance, Meteorological services, and air traffic control services for aerodrome and approach control are to meet stringent certification and ownership requirements. Those requirements, including the necessity for providers to be more than 50% owned and effectively controlled by Member States or their nationals, are designed to ensure the integrity and security of air traffic services. However, to prevent disruptions to air traffic services, it is essential to amend Regulation (EU) 2024/2803 by postponing the application of its relevant provisions to providers of communication services to maintain their operational readiness,(61) A robust and continuously available communication services between air and ground assets is crucial for optimising airspace utilization.

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(62) The current cooperation model between the European Aviation Safety Agency (‘EASA’) and national armed forces has proven effective in certifying dual-use aircraft. However, the certification of large drones poses a significant challenge, with national armed forces certifying them in an uncoordinated manner, creating a risk of fragmentation and non-alignment with future civilian regulations. The integration of those drones into General Air Traffic – as defined in Article 2(4) of Regulation (EU) 2024/2803 – is considered a necessity by the armed forces. In order to enable the dual-use of such drones for transport purposes, it is essential to align the military requirements with future civilian requirements. The current Union regulatory framework does not provide adequate flexibility to permit the certification of innovative technologies and products, such as certain categories of drones. It is necessary to amend Article 71 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 of the European Parliament and of the Council24 to allow for exemptions from applicable requirements when such requirements prevent the certification of innovative technologies and products, while ensuring the highest level of safety and security, and to establish a coordinated approach between EASA and national armed forces to define requirements for the certification of large drones.(62) The current cooperation model between the European Aviation Safety Agency (‘EASA’) and national armed forces has proven effective in certifying dual-use aircraft.

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(63 a) To enhance military transport and the protection of SDI and other critical infrastructures in the maritime domain, the Union should address the existing regulatory asymmetry between the civil aviation and maritime sectors by promoting the establishment of regulatory testing environments ('regulatory sandboxes') for the latter. Such sandboxes would facilitate a more rapid and autonomous development and deployment of innovative dual-use unmanned maritime systems, including surface and underwater assets, establishing harmonised frameworks that encompass accelerated permitting and interoperability standards.

(63 a) Additional duties pertaining to military mobility that is placed upon its actors must be matched with added dedicated resources, without depleting resources allocated to existing commitments on civilian transport. This is valid for workers, social partners, but also the European Railway Agency, the European Aviation Safety Agency and the European Maritime Safety Agency, in particular in relation to their mandate to ensure safety.

Recital 65 a (new)

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(65 a) Eastern border regions of the Union play a critical role as the first line of defence and as primary transit areas for military mobility. These regions face disproportionate operational, economic and security pressures due to their proximity to areas of instability and hybrid threats. The development, upgrading and resilience of transport infrastructure in these regions should therefore be treated as a strategic priority for the Union, ensuring adequate financial support, accelerated implementation and reinforced coordination across borders.

Article 1 – paragraph 1

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
This Regulation lays down measures relating to dual-use equipment, means of transport and infrastructure to facilitate military transport in the Union and across its external borders, while minimising and mitigating the impact of such transport on civilian transport.This Regulation lays down measures relating to dual-use equipment, means of transport and infrastructure to facilitate military transport in the Union and across its external borders, while minimising and mitigating the impact of such transport on civilian transport. In particular, the infrastructure-related obligations under Chapter III apply to dual-use transport infrastructure identified as part of the EU priority military mobility corridors. Chapters I and II apply to cross-border military transport operations throughout the Union, irrespective of whether the transport takes place on a military mobility corridor.

Or. en

Justification

This clarification aligns the Regulation’s operational scope with the corridor-based approach of military mobility. It avoids disproportionate and potentially unintended extension of Chapter III infrastructure obligations to the entire national network, while preserving the applicability of Chapters I and II to cross-border operations across the Union.

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
Article4a
Integrated Planning and Coordination of Military Mobility Infrastructure and services
1. Member States shall ensure that military authorities and the ministries and agencies responsible for transport, infrastructure and logistics jointly plan, develop and coordinate projects related to military mobility.
2. Such coordination shall ensure that transport infrastructure, services and logistical systems are designed, developed and maintained in a manner that guarantees seamless interoperability between military mobility requirements, security of supply and resilience needs, and the continuity and efficiency of civilian transport and everyday mobility.
3. Member States shall further ensure that the functioning of military and civilian logistics systems remains continuous, interoperable and effective under all circumstances, including peacetime, crisis situations and states of emergency.
4. The Commission may, where appropriate, issue guidelines to support harmonised implementation of this Article across the Union.

Or. en

Justification

The security environment in Europe has fundamentally changed in recent years, particularly following intensified efforts by the European Union to strengthen defence readiness and resilience. These efforts have gained urgency in light of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, which has underscored the need for rapid, coordinated and reliable movement of military forces across the continent. In this context, enhancing military mobility is no longer solely a defence policy objective; it has become a central pillar of broader resilience, preparedness and strategic stability within the Union.

Military mobility infrastructure is inherently dual-use. Key assets such as transport corridors, ports, railways, bridges and logistical hubs serve both civilian and military needs. This dual-use character creates significant opportunities for efficiency, but also requires careful and systematic coordination. Without structured cooperation between military authorities and civilian transport ministries and agencies, infrastructure investments risk becoming fragmented, inefficient and poorly aligned with operational requirements. Such gaps could ultimately weaken both military readiness and civilian crisis response capacity.

Integrated planning is therefore essential. It ensures that infrastructure investments are designed and implemented in a way that meets military requirements without undermining the efficiency and accessibility of civilian transport systems. At the same time, it contributes to strengthening security of supply and overall societal resilience, which are critical in times of disruption. By prioritising dual-use solutions, integrated planning also enables more efficient use of public funds, avoiding duplication and maximising the return on investment.

Article 5 – paragraph 3

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
3. The receiving and requesting Member States shall inasmuch as possible agree, in the standing military transport permission, on the conditions under which the military transport operations covered by that standing military transport permission are to be carried out, if any, including applicable traffic arrangements and pre-defined routes.3. The receiving and requesting Member States shall inasmuch as possible agree, in the standing military transport permission, on the conditions under which the military transport operations covered by that standing military transport permission are to be carried out, if any, including applicable traffic arrangements, pre-defined routes, and, where relevant, pre-arranged Host-Nation-Support provisions including the location and capacity of refuelling, recharging, parking and rest facilities available along pre-defined routes

Or. en

Justification

Article 5(3) provides that standing permissions may include traffic arrangements and pre-defined routes but does not explicitly require the inclusion of Host-Nation-Support provisions in the pre-agreement framework. Host-Nation-Support is defined in Article 3(9) as including access to refuelling, recharging, parking and rest facilities, which are operationally critical for long-distance military transport operations along corridors spanning multiple Member States. Pre-arranging these provisions within the standing permission framework — rather than leaving them to be negotiated at the time of each transport notification — significantly reduces the operational burden on both requesting and receiving Member States and improves the predictability of military transport operations. This amendment adds no new obligation beyond what is already contemplated by the Regulation's own definition of Host-Nation-Support; it simply ensures that standing permissions fulfil their intended function as comprehensive pre-authorisation instruments rather than merely administrative clearances.

Article 5 – paragraph 4

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
4. Member States, notably those situated along the same military mobility corridor, may align their standing military transport permissions and coordinate in advance, in particular to ensure coherence of traffic arrangements and pre-defined routes.4. Member States, notably those situated along the same military mobility corridor, may align their standing military transport permissions and coordinate in advance, in particular to ensure coherence of traffic arrangements and pre-defined routes. Such alignment may also cover port infrastructure serving as entry or exit points of military mobility corridors, including procedures for port access, priority berthing arrangements for military transport vessels, and pre-agreed handling procedures for military cargo, where such infrastructure has been identified as strategic dual-use infrastructure in accordance with Article 33.

Or. en

Justification

Article 5(4) enables voluntary alignment of standing permissions among Member States on the same corridor but does not address the maritime dimension of corridor entry and exit points. Military mobility corridors terminating at or originating from port infrastructure identified as strategic dual-use infrastructure under Article 33 require the same degree of procedural pre-alignment as land-based corridor segments. Without explicit inclusion of port entry and exit procedures in the alignment mechanism, a gap exists between the land-based permission framework and the maritime interface of military mobility corridors. Pre-agreed port access procedures and priority berthing arrangements are operationally essential for the continuity of military transport along corridors where sea-based legs connect to land-based routes. This amendment closes that gap using concepts and definitions already established in the Regulation — strategic dual-use infrastructure under Article 33 and standing permissions under Article 5 — without creating new obligations or institutional structures.

Or. en

Justification

Without a category being assigned, the consignment can only be examined based on a specific/individual procedure, which significantly increases the time required for the examination. An example of this is the “S, M, L” sizing in NATO regulations. Accordingly, it is recommended to determine the applicable gauges based on the dimensions of the military equipment provided by the military unit, taking into account the capabilities of the rail infrastructure managers. If this can be partially ensured in the case of military equipment, then the data exchange can be significantly accelerated. The military unit can bring the dimensions of the equipment into several states (depending on the armor), and on the part of the infrastructure, the gauge must be determined in such a way that the military transport can still be forwarded despite obstacles (railway track objects). This can be developed based on a common position. Not all equipment can be classified in a given gauge, however, in the case of the classification of some of the equipment, their permitting process can be greatly simplified.

The receiving Member States shall then coordinate and process the requests simultaneously to ensure coherent traffic arrangements for the military transport. Requests and related exchanges shall be transmitted through the National Coordinator for Cross-Border Military Transport of each concerned Member State, acting as the single national coordination channel.

Or. en

Justification

Using the National Coordinator as the single channel for ad hoc requests ensures consistent cross-border handling and reduces the risk of delays caused by multiple parallel exchanges. This is particularly important when several Member States are involved and rapid coordination is required.

Article 6 – paragraph 2 a (new)

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
2 a. Where ad hoc permission requests relating to the same military operation or exercise are submitted simultaneously or consecutively by more than one requesting Member State to the same receiving Member State or Member States along the same military mobility corridor, the receiving Member States concerned shall coordinate their decisions without undue delay in order to ensure coherent traffic arrangements and avoid the imposition of conflicting conditions on what constitutes a single military transport operation. The National Coordinators for Cross-Border Military Transport of the Member States concerned shall facilitate such coordination in accordance with Article 40.

Or. en

Justification

Article 6(2) already establishes a coordination requirement for the scenario in which a single requesting Member State submits simultaneous requests to multiple receiving Member States in transit. However, it does not address the equally common operational scenario in which multiple requesting Member States — for example, contributing nations in a joint NATO exercise or coalition operation — simultaneously submit ad hoc permission requests to the same receiving Member State or States for transport operations that form part of a single coordinated military movement. Without a coordination obligation covering this scenario, each requesting Member State's transport operation may be subject to different and potentially conflicting conditions imposed independently by the same receiving Member State, creating operational incoherence in what is functionally a single military transport operation. Placing this obligation in a dedicated paragraph 2a preserves the clarity of paragraph 3, which governs the decision-making procedure for individual requests, while ensuring that the multi-requester coordination gap is addressed at the procedurally appropriate point in the article — alongside the existing multi-receiver coordination requirement of paragraph 2 — and is explicitly linked to the National Coordinator function established in Article 40.

In its decision to grant an ad hoc military transport permission, the receiving Member State may determine specific traffic arrangements for the military transport operation in question or impose conditions on that military transport operation, including the use of specific routes, in particular where that is necessary for the safe transport of abnormal military cargo or dangerous goods in accordance with Articles 10 and 11. In such cases, it shall coordinate the necessary arrangements with the requesting Member State without undue delay, in order to make sure that the military transport operation can take place as scheduled.3.

Or. en

Justification

The three working day deadline for ad hoc permissions is reasonable for planned military transport operations but is operationally inadequate in the context of sudden-onset natural disasters. A major earthquake or catastrophic flood creates an immediate need for cross-border military logistical support that cannot wait 72 hours for a permission decision. The amendment introduces a best-efforts 24-hour target — not a binding obligation, deliberately formulated as "shall endeavour" — specifically for civil protection emergencies, without altering the general three-day rule or creating any enforceable right of action.

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
2a. This exemption from the obligation to submit, before the start of the military transport, any forms or documents demonstrating compliance with the ADR, ADN, RID, IMDG Code, ICAO-TI, NATO AMovP-6 or with the applicable national rules does not affect the obligation to carry a transport document (consignment note) in cases where such an obligation mandatorily applies under either Chapter 5.4 RID or equivalent rules laid down by the applicable international or national framework.

Or. it

Justification

This clarification will prevent any ambiguity between the exemption from preventively submitting documents and the obligation to carry transport documents in cases (such as those falling under Chapter 5.4 RID) where such an obligation is applicable. This clarification will reduce the risk of non-compliance, implementation issues and operational disruptions, particularly during the period of activation of EMERS.

Justification

This Regulation should remain fully compatible with Directive 96/53/EC, as amended, which currently only classifies vehicles under Article 4(3) as abnormal load vehicles. The 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 requirements 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”. It should also be noted that, where permit systems exist for vehicles falling under Article 4(3) or 4(4), the types of permits and the corresponding application procedures may differ.

Article 19 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 1

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
The Council, acting on the proposal of the Commission referred to in paragraph 2, may adopt the implementing act to activate the EMERS no later than 48 hours after receiving the activation request. The implementing act of the Council shall specify the duration of the application of EMERS, which shall not exceed 12 months.The Council, acting unanimously on the proposal of the Commission referred to in paragraph 2, may adopt the implementing act to activate the EMERS no later than 48 hours after receiving the activation request. The implementing act of the Council shall specify the duration of the application of EMERS, which shall not exceed 12 months.

Or. en

Justification

Without an explicit unanimity requirement, the decision of the Council to activate EMERS would be taken by qualified majority, in accordance with Article 16(3) TEU. EMERS triggers EU-wide emergency measures, including the automatic acceptance of military transport requests. Such a decision should therefore require unanimity, in full respect of Article 4(2) TEU, under which national security, including the right of each Member State to ultimately decide on the transit of military troops and equipment through its territory, is the sole responsibility of Member States.

Or. en

Justification

The extension of EMERS to NATO parties that are not Member States should be decided on a case by case basis and require unanimity in the Council. It should also ensure that all Member States, whether or not they are NATO members, may refuse the extension of any EMERS provisions to such parties where they consider it necessary, in full respect of Article 4(2) TEU. In other words, even if a Member State belongs to both the Union and NATO, it should retain the right to opt out of the automatic acceptance of military transport requests from a non-EU NATO party through its territory if it wishes to do so.

Under no circumstances may, the infrastructure managers affected by priority access be held liable for any damage resulting from the interruption of ongoing, scheduled, and interrupted transport operations. Only proven damages will be compensated, drawing on funds that will be set aside for this purpose within the financial instruments indicated in the Recitals of this Regulation, or in any subsequent financial instruments that will be adopted for the operation of this Regulation.

Or. en

Justification

During EMERS, infrastructure managers may be required to interrupt or cancel civilian operations by legal obligation. A clear limitation of liability and a “proven damages” approach are necessary to avoid unbounded legal exposure that could delay decisions and undermine rapid implementation of priority access.

As regards military transport by rail, by way of derogation from Article 7(1), the infrastructure manager shall grant individual train paths within six hours. However, in the case of transport of dangerous goods or abnormal military transport, the rail infrastructure manager shall grant the individual train paths as soon as possible.As regards military transport by rail, by way of derogation from Article 7(1), the infrastructure manager shall grant individual train paths within six hours. However, in the case of transport of dangerous goods or abnormal military transport, the rail infrastructure manager shall grant the individual train paths as soon as possible. The deadline to grant individual train paths within six hours / as soon as possible can be met, provided that technical characteristics of the military transport are known in advance and that the routing has been analysed beforehand. Based on this information, the Infrastructure Manager may draw up a catalogue of pre-defined train paths (including O/D, equipment, last-mile constraints and fixed network routing) suitable for immediate use in military transport.

Or. en

Justification

The six-hour requirement under EMERS is operationally realistic only if key technical characteristics and route feasibility checks have been prepared in advance. This clarification reflects the position paper’s recommendations to standardise technical parameters and pre-identify routings (including last-mile constraints) to avoid unsafe or impracticable allocations and to mitigate disruption to civilian rail services during emergencies.

Justification

A harmonised and predictable compensation framework is essential for maintaining the viability of the system when civil services are disrupted by compulsory priority access.

Justification

Priority access may generate significant operational and economic impacts for commercial transport operators and infrastructure managers, including delays, rescheduling and contractual penalties. Appropriate compensation mechanisms should therefore be available in order to avoid disproportionate economic burdens on private actors. Civilian transport operators and infrastructure managers cannot reasonably be expected to bear the full operational and economic consequences of military priority access without appropriate legal safeguards and compensation mechanisms.
