Common Transport Policy
Transport policy is now a shared competence between member states and the EU under the Lisbon Treaty.
The founding Treaty of Rome foresaw a common transport policy, but this has only partially been adopted. The Court in Luxembourg has used the general principles in the Treaty to establish free competition in parts of the transport area. In recent years, we have finally seen directives for different types of transport, for example roads and railways.
