TRANSPORT POLICY IN THE EU: A STRATEGY FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT?

S Wixey, Sally Lake

Abstract

This paper seeks to analyse the European Union's approach to transport policymaking and the programme of Trans-European Networks. The strategic considerations at the heart of this programme bear little relation to the Union's stated commitments to sustainable development in all policy areas. Sustainable development can only be implemented on a strategic level in policy formulation and not, as seems to be the case with TENs, as an afterthought. The paper concludes by identifying the issue of transport for 'need' as a guiding principle in the formulation of 'sustainable mobility'. (A)
