Possibilities and limits of regulation in transport policy : report of the 62nd Round Table Conference on Transport Economics, held in Paris on 29th-30th September 1983.

Pressure for farther liberalisation in both domestic and frontier-crossing transport has certainly come frequently from the Commission for the European Communities, supported by the new EEC countries. A further impetus has also come to Europe from the deregulation debate in the United States (Railroad Revitalisation and Regulatory Reform Act 1976, Motor Carrier Act 1980) . It has not been possible, however, to carry out a thorough-going reform of the transport market against the opposition of Germany, France and Italy.
