This book is directed at a wide range of readers interested in
transport and/or European policies. It gives an overview of the
current problems and challenges facing the European transport
system and explains how a new European policy on transport
infrastructure is emerging. The author argues that strong action at
the EU level is needed to prevent the collapse of long distance
transport. Without adequate measures in the transport sector to
cope with the increase of trade and mobility associated with the
development of the Single Market, European integration will
stagnate. The book includes an overview of the actions undertaken
in the past and the first comprehensive critical analysis of the
Guidelines on trans-European transport networks (TEN's) decided by
the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament in July 1996.
From this, the author proposes a framework, based on efficiency,
sustainability and cohesion objectives, for the establishment of a
new multimodal TEN that would supersede the current TENs design. He
pays particular attention to the transport implications of both the
accession to the EU of Central and Eastern European countries and
of the strengthening of the links with the Mediterranean
neighbours. After a discussion of the political and financial
difficulties of implementing TENs, he makes some practical
proposals regarding the interaction between European institutions
and the Member States vis-a-vis the new transport infrastructure
policy. Finally, the critical questions of decision making and
financing of major transport infrastructure projects are analysed
to ascertain the many transformations required to introduce market
rules in the sector, in particular thoseneeded to attract private
financing, and he concludes with some proposals for major changes
in the role of EU institutions.
