Neighbourhood Policy Paper, No. 8, 2013

"The article examines the development of the EU’s transport policy within the framework of the European Neighbourhood Policy and its extension to the EU’s Eastern and Southern Neighborhoods, through the Union for the Mediterranean, the Black Sea Synergy and the Eastern Partnership. The paper argues that the splitting of the EU’s transport policies among many initiatives has not proven to be effective in achieving its goals. It underlines the fact, that while the policies themselves are substantial, they rarely reach the implementation phase. The important transport-related activities of the BSEC, UNECE and the private sector are proposed to be taken into consideration by the EU and integrated into its policies."

The Common Transport Policy of the EU is one of the three common policies mentioned in the Treaty of Rome. However, this policy area has seen few achievements It was not until the 1980's that any real attempt to develop a CTP began. The drive to complete the internal market has given this task a new urgency. However, the legacy of its past approach makes it difficult for the EU now to develop a successful transport policy. Varying explanations exist for this failing. Furthermore, the EU has failed to take account of the wider significance of transport policy, especially for regional development and for the environment.

While the European Union transport policies traditionally have dealt first of all with global, international and continent level axes and harmonisation, the main message of this study still relates to the local and country level tasks of Turkey. To ensure an accession to the European transport network also useful for Turkey at a local (urban and suburban) level the main suggested task is to create a clear social picture about the directions of the local transport future, with special regard to the possibilities of decreasing the car dependency. As for the country level, the most important is to prepare a transport strategy that makes clear, what kind of transport structure and strategy is needed for the future development of Turkey
