Transport policy was regarded sufficiently important to warrant its own title in the Treaty of Rome as an obvious and essential complement to the freedom of movement of persons, goods, services and capital. This book explores why European transport policies, caught in a complex web of practical, political and institutional pressures, were so slow to develop until driven forward with the internal market, and why any comprehensive and coherent policy may still prove elusive.
Is "Brussels" the remote and insensitive bureaucracy of popular mythology? The "civil service" of the European Union is little known. This book provides an accessible account of its structures and their evolution, the administrative traditions on which they draw and the selection, training and careers, lifestyle, and ethos of EU officials.
