Özet:

With the influence of globalization, the world’s market structure has begun to change. As a result of this change, it is of great importance to remove the barriers facing human and property mobility and to reach its goal safely. Having an efficient transport network with this reputation provides great advantages to the country’s economies. One of the key requirements for a country to become more competitive is to have a cheap and fast transport system for the goods or services produced to reach the target market and the goods and services requested to reach their own market. As in all countries, the European Union (EU) member countries are also strongly in need of reliable transport corridors and distribution points in order to deliver the goods and services they need to their own markets or other markets. The main objective of the EU is to promote prosperity by ensuring the free circulation of all economic factors in the EU single market, creating new joint transport policies. The EU member countries, which have successfully recorded regular and gradual progress, are also facing some transportation problems. This study, after discussing the common transport policies and systems implemented by the European Union from the 1957 Rome Treaty to the present day, pointed to the development of Turkey in the transport sector, in recent years. Following the EU Progress Report, the level of the EU Joint Transport Policy of Turkey is analyzed. The analysis found that significant improvements were made in all transport modes, but the level compared to the EU countries was insufficient. The progress in road transport is also satisfying in compliance with the EU’s common transport policy, although significant problems and shortcomings have been detected in other transport systems.
