The EU institutions are currently setting the agenda for the next decades of European transport policy. One of the greatest challenges is the reduction of CO2 emissions in transport. With its Communication on the future for transport, a Green Paper on the future of trans-European transport networks (TEN-T) and the White Paper on European transport policy, the Commission has created a basis for discussion.
