Commission's Communication - Future for Transport
Please find herewith the Commission’s communication “A sustainable future for transport: Towards an integrated, technology-led and user friendly system”.
This communication summarises the results of the reflection launched by the Commission on the future of the transport system for the next ten years:
- section 2 refers to recent developments of the European transport policy (ETP) and outstanding issues;
- section 3 looks at the future, identifying trends in transport drivers and the likely challenges they could pose to society;
- section 4 proposes some intermediate policy objectives, which could be pursued to address the emerging challenges in the transport sector;
- section 5 describes some available instruments and possible lines of intervention for achieving the stated objectives.
The ideas put forward in this communication are meant to stimulate further debate aimed at identifying concrete policy proposals for the next Transport White Paper scheduled for 2010.
