Press Release: Transport 2050: Commission outlines ambitious plan to increase mobility and reduce emissions

The European Commission has adopted a comprehensive strategy (Transport 2050) for a competitive transport system that will increase mobility, remove major barriers in key areas and fuel growth and employment.
