It-trasport ferrovjarju
Il-politika Ewropea tat-trasport ferrovjarju għandha l-għan li toħloq żona ferrovjarja unika. Il-ftuħ tas-settur għall-kompetizzjoni, li beda fl-2001, kien jikkonsisti, fl-ispazju ta' għaxar snin, fi tliet pakketti u riformulazzjoni ġenerali. Ir-raba' pakkett, li kien maħsub li jlesti l-liberalizzazzjoni tat-traffiku ferrovjarju, ġie adottat fl-ewwel qari, fit-totalità tiegħu, mill-Parlament Ewropew (fi Frar 2014) u, fir-rigward tal-pilastru tekniku, ukoll fit-tieni qari (fit-28 ta' April 2016).
EU policy on railway noise reduction
Rail development is an important element of the EU's transport strategy. A significant increase in rail's share of freight and passenger transport can contribute to achieving the EU objective of a 60% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from transport by 2050, in comparison with 1990. Considered a more energy-efficient and sustainable mode of transport, rail is nonetheless faced with a major environmental issue: noise pollution. Rail noise and its possible adverse effects on health are of concern ...
New rules on EU airport noise restrictions
Air traffic demand is expected to continue growing. However, noise –particularly around airports – may have significant impact on citizens' health. In parallel to proposed measures for increasing airport capacity, the European Commission has tabled a proposal for a Regulation aimed at revising the rules on restricting operations at an EU airport because of noise.
Towards A Comprehensive Noise Strategy
The study reviews the latest evidence on the health effects of environmental noise. It also provides an overview of the current EU regulatory framework on noise (Environmental Noise Directive and legislation on noise sources), assessing its effectiveness and identifying ways for future improvement. Recommendations are put forward for the development of a more comprehensive noise strategy.

It-tnaqqis tal-istorbju ferrovjarju
12-il miljun abitant tal-UE huma affettwati mill-istorbju ferrovjarju matul il-jum u 9 miljuni matul il-lejl. Dan l-istudju jelenka miżuri, finanzjamenti u regolamenti sabiex dan jitnaqqas. L-introduzzjoni ta’ vetturi ferrovjarji moderni se tnaqqas l-istorbju b'mod mill-aktar sinifikanti. Fuq perjodu ta’ żmien qasir, is-sostituzzjoni tal-ħadid fondut minn blokok komposti tal-brejkijiet fuq il-vetturi ferrovjarji tal-merkanzija hija mill-aktar importanti. L-iżvilupp ta’ skema ta’ regolazzjoni għal ...
