The East-West transport corridor activities governance

Abstract

The keynote of the development is effective integration of the EU countries and East countries transport sector into East–West transport corridor service system and transport services market complying with the common criteria for transport development in the corridor. One of the biggest present problems is insufficient transport infrastructure and long border crossing procedures limiting international accessibility for goods and passengers. The joint action plan must highlight the areas and components of the transport system which are important for the effective interconnectivity of the individual networks, and/or for absorbing the steadily increasing intraregional and transcontinental freight flows. The development and modernization of transport infrastructure is one of the essential measures that ensure economic progress in working out national economy development strategies and programmes of both the EU, CIS and other East countries.
