The construction of the European Economic Communities in 1950
primarily set out to build an integrated economic zone in which
national borders were, to a large extent, overcome. The ability of
persons and goods to move freely within the economic zone was
seminal in the realisation of economic integration. Underlying
this, and therefore an implied necessity for European growth, an
effective transport infrastructure was essential. However, with
rising awareness of environmental issues, and a closer regard to
sustainability of development, European transport systems and their
regulation have come under scrutiny. This book sets out a critical
analysis of the body of law and policy initiatives that constitute
the EU's common transport policy. The development of the transport
policy is charted through amending and founding Treaties as well as
non-legislative documents. The book uses a model of sustainability
as the basis for the analysis as the criteria for sustainable
development were set out under Article Eleven of the Treaty on the
Functioning of the European Union. However, sustainable
development, when taken in the context of transport is difficult to
reconcile with unbridled economic growth and unchecked freedom of
movement and the book identifies a contradiction at the heart of
European policy which can only become more accentuated as
environmental trends become more explicit. The book argues that
European regulation will eventually be forced to recognize this
dichotomy, and take more forceful action to protect environmental
and social development, even at the cost of economic progress. This
book will be of great interest to researchers and students on
European Union law and policy courses, transport studies courses
and European integration courses. The book is of relevance to all
those interested in environmental and transport matters.
