Commission Work Programme 2007 confirms Green Paper on urban transport

On 24 October 2006 the European Commission adopted its Legislative and Work Programme for 2007. One of the twenty-one so called "strategic initiatives" is the publication of a Green Paper on urban transport. According to the Work Programme the Green Paper will assess the benefits that would result from a European policy on urban transport. The Green Paper will also identify the problems/challenges, (possible) new actions including ‘early actions’, (possible) responsibilities. It will propose actions through which the EU can add value and it will include a list of questions for further consultation.
