The new transport policy that hasnot yet been in force does not contain detailed regulations about the urbantransportation because a new urban transport strategy is under development.For creating better and efficient strategy it is necessary to analyse the EUregulation system. However, there is not an all-embracing single urbanfreight transport policy on the EU level. Instead, there are many urbanfreight transport policies, for many different territorial units. Inaddition, in one city there is a much stricter policy than in another, or inone region, there is a well-balanced system of policies and in anotherregion, no policy whatsoever exists in urban freight transport. The aim ofthis short contribution is to overview the EU policies, regulations anddevelopment activities in the area of urban freight distribution. ER -
