Since its foundation in 1953, the European Conference of Ministers of Transport (ECMT) has experienced a great many changes. It now includes Ministers of Transport from Central and Eastern Europe and has 30 member countries in all (Austria, Belgium, Bosnia‐Herzegovina, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom, and six associate members: Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, the Russian Federation and the United States. Morocco and Moldova have observer status). Its Protocol states that its role is to promote inland transport and especially transport of international importance. The hallmark of the ECMT is its adaptability, which it owes to its chief body—the Council of Ministers—in which Ministers discuss major issues. This article describes the origins of the ECMT, the changes that it has undergone, its contribution to transport policy, focusing on a few particular areas, and its role in the context of contemporary political and economical change.
