Abstract

As transport policy in Europe has, for the most part, been developed from a purely national point of view, the individual transport modes in European countries have, therefore, developed differently. Isolated transport industries grew up, which were themselves not coordinated and which could not even be considered as national systems. This fact is expressed in essentially sectoral national rail, road and inland-shipping policies. In the course of economic integration of national state, an extremely important aspect of transport policy is the linking of national transport systems so that international demand can be dealt with in the framework of a complete West European transport system.
