Future of Transport
June 2009
Approaching the end of the ten-year period covered by the 2001 White Paper, it is time to look further ahead and define a vision for the future of transport. The first ‘milestone’ in this exercise was reached with the Communication on the Future on Transport, adopted by the Commission on 17th June 2009. The Communication is at the same time a strategy document – summarising the results of the reflection carried out in recent months – and a consultation document – aiming at identifying policy options to be tested and eventually included in the next White Paper in 2010.
