ABSTRACT
The EEC Treaty, which was signed in Rome on 25 March 1957,1 has at its core a Common Transport Policy (CTP) concept which is calculated to achieve the fundamental purposes of the European Community.2 One of the most salient features of the EEC Treaty is that the tasks of the Community are set out succinctly in Article 2, which provides inter alia for the adoption of a CTP, as provided for in Article 3(1) of the treaty. This provision is linked to Article 74 which in turn provides that the objectives of the Treaty in relation to issues of transport would be pursued by state parties within the parameters of the CTP, which is established by the Council of Europe through secondary legislation.
