The paper shows how road transport quotas imposed by the European Union Member States on road transport services trade between Turkey and the EU increases the trade costs restricting trade between the parties. There are basically three ways to eliminate the transport quotas imposed by the EU. First, Turkey could sign a Road Transport Agreement between the EU and Turkey. Second, it could conclude a free trade agreement covering among others the liberalization of road transport services between the EU and Turkey. Finally, it could try to make use of General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and Trade Facilitation Agreement. But in each case it will have to adopt and implement the whole EU acquis on road transport.
