Before 1992– There was no integrated transport policy in the union,
single sectorial targets main motivation was the regulation of the competition
EU CTP 1992 „Single network to the single market”– Integrated transport policy – but focus on one single layer
(international level)– Inter-modality, interoperability =>, free access, corridors,
TEN-T, single market Comparing the characteristics of western and eastern

Dilemmas of the Central European Transport Policy in time of EU Enlargement
(1) Corridors (TEN) in western Europe were based on the internal demand of the area, namely on the necessity of the interconnection of well developed national networks (“Common network to the common market”)
(2) In the eastern part of Europe the starting point was external: the extension of the TEN network toward the east. Its priority is exaggerated in countries where internal connections also would need enforcement
(3) Furthermore, in Hungary interregional corridors are planned in a mistaken structure, strengthening the earlier single-centred hierarchy

Main problems to solve: congestion, isolated regions, quality problems, deteriorated environment, accidents
Balance of the consequences of the 1992 CTP Main target: decoupling the link between the economic
and the transport growth - focus on road transport through charging, - with efficiency measures in other modes,- targeted investments… …into the TEN networks…
Sixty measures – in four blocks. - shift the balance between modes of transport, - eliminate bottlenecks, - place users at the heart of transport policy, - manage the globalisation of transport.
EU Transport Policy 2001: „Time to Decide”

Summary
A transport policy collects the governmental strategies promoting the operation and development of activities belonging to the transport sector.
The basic documents of the transport policy of the past decade are the White Papers (CTP) of the European Union in 1992 and in 2001 (Time to Decide); while in Hungary the national Transport Policy of 1996 and 2004.
The documents of the EU earlier focused mainly on the overlay level of the networks between the single countries. Copying the unchanged priority of the construction of the corridors in domestic transport policies can be considered as a mistake.
Besides exaggerated priority of inter-regional axes, the Hungarian planners lead the through traffic across the conurbation of Budapest, in a single-centred structure, and built on that structure also the network of the logistic centres.
