The TTE Council of Transport Ministers took place on 9 December 2021 in Brussels. On behalf of Hungary, Mr László Mosóczi Minister of state for transport, participated in the meeting.

Ministers had their first formal discussion on each of the three Fit for 55 transport proposals to guide further work on these files.

These proposals will play a significant role in the EU’s efforts to cut its transport emissions by 90%, a prerequisite for meeting the 2050 climate neutrality.

The Council took note of progress and held a policy debate on a proposal aimed at ensuring a level playing field for sustainable air transport (ReFuelEU Aviation) and on a proposal to promote the use of renewable and low-carbon fuels in maritime transport (FuelEU Maritime), as well as, on a draft regulation on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure (AFIR).

The Presidency briefed ministers on the state of play of current legislative proposals. In addition, the Commission updated ministers on the issue of Passenger Locator Forms and transport workers.
