Transport Safety Is One of the Main Aspects of EU Transport Policy

The article covers a relevant topic, since transport has been considered as a source of increased danger throughout its existence. In this regard, the maximum focus on transport security is required from participants in the transportation process as well as from developers of the international transport legal framework. The paper highlights one important feature of transport security, such as a “no-fault liability.” This type of responsibility is applied because transport, as a key sector of the economy of States, is given the status of a “source of an increased danger.” The consolidation of such status in the law is necessary, since it fundamentally changes the system of normative and legal acts developed by States and international organizations. Moreover, the corresponding efforts of the European Union Member States are being analyzed to illustrate specific approaches, taking into account the peculiarities of the region. In general, regional cooperation allows all actors of international law to identify and adapt to the nuances of a particular region. Knowing all the specifics, the subjects of these international legal relations will be able to develop more effective rules of conduct. The European Union continues to be one of the most interesting integration organizations. The very fact that this association has both primary and secondary law confirms the EU’s capacity to implement the most advanced and innovative goals and ideas. In this regard, the issue of transport security is being implemented at the highest level. All the more so, all the acts adopted within the framework of the EU are binding for each Member State of the EU. Thus, the level of transport security in the EU member states is also high.
