Debating the future of EU transport

The theme for day 1, September 16, is: How "European" Should Our Policy Solutions Be?

How strong is the case for EU-level rules that would ensure urban mobility measures don't become barriers to trade and to the free movement of people? By taking an increased role, the EU could become a catalyst for raising the standard of urban planning and development right across Europe.

Below list of participants in the debate,  moderated by Giles Merritt, Director, Forum Europe:

• Leif Johansson, President & CEO of Volvo Group
• Stefano Chmielewski, President of Renault Trucks
• Gérard Collomb, Senator & Mayor of Lyon, France*
• Göran Johansson, Mayor of Gothenburg, Sweden*
• Eric Poyeton, Sr. Vice President Strategic Planning, Renault Trucks
