AK position paper on a sustainable future for transport: Towards an integrated, technology-led and user-friendly system

Based on the present Communication, the European Commission presents its vision for future of transport within the Union. The urgently required basic change of direction does not happen and the Communication of the European Commission is on the whole little innovative. It is to be feared that the present programme will neither be able to fulfil the climate protection targets nor the requirements of the Lisbon Strategy.

AK therefore asks the Commission to urgently amend the Communication and in particular to review the sectors concerned with social issues and job conditions as well as the competition policy.« Back
