ABSTRACT
The large majority of the countries which are eligible for a free trade area cannot however, for geographical reasons be of any immediate importance so far as the problems of the railways, road transport, and inland navigation are concerned. In the instances, the free exchange of services is primarily restricted to shipping and civil aviation, that is, to branches of the transport industry which are excluded from the field of competence of the Treaty on the Common Market. In connection with the problems of primary and food industries certain regulating measures within the fishing industry might also have to be discussed with a view to their coordination; these discussions would, however, only indirectly affect the transport industry. As a consequence the difficulties in connection with adaptation would be largely the same as in the case of the countries of the European Economic Community.
