The road transport : an open but regulated market Some figures – road transport Europe  72% of the land freight 90% of the passengers 5 M Km of roads 10 M of employees France 85 % of the land freight, 30 % of the passengers 400 000 km of national and local roads, and Highways (11500 km) 500 000 of employees (Passengers : 100 000 freight : 400 000) 360 000 vehicles > Road transport is crucial for the european single market > Supervision and controls are a major challenge for the european and national authorities

The road transport : an open but regulated market The european regulation : main texts Regulation (EC) 561/2006 Regulation (EC) 165/2014 Regulation (EC) 1071-72-73/2009 Directive 2014/47 Directive 2015/719 Directive 2006/22
