The EU transport commissioner Antonio Tajani has told EU transport ministers that sustainable transport must be a priority for a post-2010 EU transport policy. Speaking in Stockholm last month, he said the transport sector must reduce its dependence on oil.
While few will disagree with this aim, it is hardly consistent with the Commission’s vision for the future of European transport published in June, which mentioned climate change only in passing, made no attempt to address how traffic demand could be reduced, and barely mentioned traffic congestion.
