White Paper: Road Map to a Single European Transport Area
Evropská doprava na rozcestí
European Transport at a cross road
Transport is fundamental to our economy and society. Mobility is vital for the internal market and for the quality of life of citizens as they enjoy their freedom to travel. Transport enables economic growth and job creation: it must be sustainable in the light of the new challenges we face. Transport is global, so effective action requires strong international cooperation. The future prosperity of our continent will depend on the ability of all of its regions to remain fully and competitively integrated in the world economy. Efficient transport is vital in making this happen.
Philippe de Buck, BUSINESSEUROPE Director General, said: “Transport is the nerve centre of logistics, needing utmost attention. This is why it is essential for the Commission to pursue an overall approach that takes into account the elements to develop a transport policy that is modern, efficient and cost-effective. ”
