Iva Kocijan ; Faculty of law, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

This paper studies first thirty years in the development of European common transport policy. Problem of vague EEC Treaty provisions on transport is analysed through the important judgments of the European Court of Justice. The author points out opposing political and economic interests of Member States and communication between Community bodies as a crucial problem in progressive creation of transport policy. Changes in political climate and dominance of the liberal market approach have favoured liberalization of European transport policy.
