European transport policy: Issues for the new mandate

As a public policy think tank dedicated to studying issues that resonate internationally, France Stratégie publishes regularly in English on the labour market, the digital economy, sustainable development, economics and social affairs.The mobility of passengers and goods is a historical pillar of European integration. In 2011, a White Paper by the European Commission predicted strong growth in traffic by 2050 (up to 50% for passengers and 80% for freight). While recent figures indicate a decline in the sector (for the most part due to the economic crisis), the quality of transport infrastructure remains a major competitive advantage for Europe that must be preserved in all of its dimensions – technological, social, environmental, energy, safety, etc.
