ABSTRACT
The increased interaction that follows from the creation of an economic and monetary union leads to increased international passenger transport. In this chapter, the author analyses the development of the transport sector in the course of the European integration process. He describes the policy regime that the European Union (EU) has created for the transport sector. A coherent common policy for the development of the structure of the European transport sector has gradually been elaborated. The policy is concerned with both transport infrastructure and production means. The author discusses some significant aspects of the development of the sector, such as production capacity, employment and firm size. He presents two case studies. The first is on goods transport and the second on passenger transport. The three treaties give different stipulations for transport namely, The European coal and steel community treaty, the European atomic energy community treaty and the European Economic community treaty.
