Europa In giving the Council the task of adopting a common transport policy within the meaning of article 74, the Treaty confers wide legislative powers upon it as regards the adoption of appropriate common rules. Regulation no 543/69 of the Council, adopted under article 75 of the treaty and referring mainly to the social sphere, is merely a partial implementation of such a policy. The Council did not exceed its powers by regulating, by this measure, matters which concern the social protection of the driver and road safety in so far as they are not interlinked.
