European Commission’s Communication on Freight Logistics:
The European Commission adopted on 28. June 2006 a communication on freight transport logistics (Reported on earlier in LogOnBaltic Newsletter 1/2006). The communication highlights the need for an overall approach to the improvement of transport logistics and rehearses the issues in preparation for an action plan in 2007 to promote such logistics. Transport logistics makes it possible to optimise flows of goods. Logistics is thus an essential tool for meeting the challenges of growing mobility and competitiveness. It is also a means of reducing the adverse effects of mobility, such as pollution, congestion and energy dependence.
The Communication is available on http://ec.europa.eu/transport/logistics/index_en.htm
