Promoting the role of Regions in the definition of Transport policies

The Assembly of European Regions is convinced that the transport sector is a key tool for regional economic development and that Regions should therefore be much better involved in all decision-making processes in this field. Most European regions have strong competencies in regional transportation. However, the national frameworks for territorial cohesion and economic development often fail to meet the needs and expectancies of the Regions.

  • Regional aviation
    The AER actively supports the development of regional airports, as it considers it is an asset for regions' economic development.
  • Services of General Interest
    The AER remains vigilant regarding the liberalisation of the transport sector and insists on the need to study its potential economic, social and environmental impacts.
  • EC Common Transport Policy and Trans-European Transport Networks
    The Assembly of European Regions remains very committed to defend the Regions' role in the definition of the main programmes for transport infrastructure.
