This overview addresses the complexities of transport policy and infrastructure development after the Maastricht Treaty. Highlighting key aspects like monopolisation, externalities, and public goods, it discusses the Trans-European Networks (TEN) initiative and its significant funding challenges. The action plans from 1995 to 2006 and the 2007-2013 program detail impressive funding needs, including €600 billion for comprehensive network construction, with a focus on high-speed rail in the Czech Republic. It emphasizes the importance of liberalisation and privatisation in improving transport systems, especially post-EU enlargement.
