2006年6月，也就是上一份《欧洲运输白皮书》发表五年后，欧盟委员会发表了对《运输白皮书》的中期审查，题为‘让欧洲继续前进--欧洲大陆的可持续交通’(CEC，2006a)。中期审查不仅评估了实现白皮书最初目标的进展情况，还确定了一些可能有助于实现白皮书目标的额外行动，更重要的是，标志着欧洲交通政策的优先事项发生了一些变化。在《运输白皮书》中期审查的标题中使用“可持续机动性”一词，突出了欧洲运输政策的一个关键难题，即如何协调人员和货物的自由流动这一欧洲联盟的基本支柱之一，同时保护环境并改善公民的健康和安全。“可持续”和“机动性”反映了欧洲交通政策的两个经常相互冲突的目标。这一两难境地在文本中得到了进一步的例证，例如，该文本指出，“实现满足日益增长的机动性需求和严格环境标准的目标的努力开始显示出摩擦的迹象”(第8页)。另一个有趣的事实是，“可持续机动性”一词又回来了。它曾多次出现在1992年的《欧洲运输白皮书》中，尤其是在该文件冗长的副标题(《共同运输政策的未来发展--构建可持续机动性共同体框架的全球办法》--CEC，1992)中，但随后的2001年《运输白皮书》(CEC，2001)根本没有提及。
In June 2006, five years after the publication of the last European Transport White Paper, the European Commission issued its mid-term review of the Transport White Paper entitled ‘Keep Europe moving – Sustainable mobility for our continent’ (CEC, 2006a). The mid-term review not only assesses progress towards the White Paper’s original objectives but also identifies a number of additional actions that might help reach the White Paper’s objectives and, more significantly, signals a number of shifts in priorities for European transport policy. The use of the term ‘sustainable mobility’ in the title of the mid-term review of the Transport White Paper serves to highlight a key dilemma of European transport policy, namely how to reconcile the free movement of people and goods, one of the basic pillars of the European Union, whilst at the same time protecting the environment and improving the health and safety of citizens. ‘Sustainable’ and ‘mobility’ reflect the two frequently competing aims of European transport policy. The dilemma is further exemplified in the text, which states for example that ‘efforts to achieve the goals of meeting growing mobility needs and strict environmental standards are beginning to show signs of friction’ (p8). Also interesting is the fact that the term ‘sustainable mobility’ has made a return. It featured several times in the 1992 European Transport White Paper, not least in the wordy sub-title of the document (‘The future development of the common transport policy – a global approach to the construction of the community framework for sustainable mobility’ – CEC, 1992), but then did not feature at all in the following Transport White Paper of 2001 (CEC, 2001).
