Europe, International and better regulation

The Department is involved in a wide range of EU and International work covering issues from transport safety and security through to emissions from international transport.

This work is crucial to deliver the Department's domestic objectives - we cannot deliver objectives including supporting national economic competitiveness and growth, reducing transport's emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases and better safety, security and health without effective international engagement.

As a lot of the Department's domestic regulations begin in the EU there is also a link to the Better Regulation agenda. The Department is committed to ensuring that we regulate only where absolutely necessary, our regulations and the ways we enforce them are fair and effective, and any burdens from regulation are kept to a minimum. So it is important we engage early and effectively in the EU to ensure the best outcome for the UK.
