Abstract
The European transport system is changing - Enlargement: now EU has continental dimension - Evolving transport industry: consolidation - Innovation, new solutions - Environmental commitments (Kyoto) - Dependency on expensive foreign oil - Changes in the international context: terrorism, globalisation - The EU is a world leader in transport sector regulation, a leading provider of transport services, equipment and technology (EU companies control 40% of the maritime fleet): its know-how and best practice could be projected abroad. European Commission’s 2001 White Paper on Transport: the European transport policy for 2010 • Strategic challenges - Strenghten EU economic growth - Mitigate the isolation of European peripherical regions - Reduce traffic congestion - Improve transport safety and security - Increase transport quality level - Protect the environment from damages • Tactical interventions - Shift the balance between modes of transport - Eliminate bottlenecks - Place users at the heart of transport policy Mid-term review of the White Paper on Transport (2006): success stories - Opening up of rail freight transport to competition - Upgraded social conditions of road transport - Definition of 30 TEN priority projects (“Van Miert’s list”, 2003) - Creation of the Single European Sky - Strengthening of air passenger rights - New road charging directive - Promotion of intermodal transport (via Marco Polo) - Reinforcement of legal framework in maritime safety MoS can be defined as a ro-ro land-water intermodal transport, which can represent a competitive alternative to road-only transport, by providing frequent and regular services linked to the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T).
