Political demands for a cycling strategy by the EU

The Council of the EU meeting in their Transport, Telecommunications and Energy configuration in October 2015 (Transport, informal) in Luxembourg, saw transport ministers of all 28 Member States endorsing the ‘Declaration on Cycling as a Climate-Friendly Transport Mode’.

The European Parliament in its response to the European Commission’s Midterm Review of the 2011 White Paper on Transport, called for ’an EU roadmap for cycling to be included in the Commission Work Programme 2016’

The Committee of the Regions adopted its own-initiative report for an ‘EU Roadmap for Cycling’
