Road haulage policy is an area in which a strong impact or European Union policy-making can be expected. liberalization at the European level contradicts widespread interventionist transport policy traditions of the member states. In this article we ask how France, Germany and Italy, three countries with an interventionist transport policy tradition, are affected by European liberalization. We find that all three countries have abandoned their policy traditions.However, domestic factors were more important than European factors in bringin about this change. In transport policy, Europeanization is elusive because national institutional intermediation largely muffled the impact of European policy-making
