Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The Treaty establishing the Transport Community ('the TCT') was signed by the Union in accordance with Council Decision (EU) 2017/1937 (1). On 4 March 2019 it was approved on behalf of the Union by means of Council Decision (EU) 2019/392 (2). It entered into force on 1 May 2019.
