• Abstract:
  The purpose of the international scan was to investigate the issues, constraints, opportunities, and challenges ; faced by the European Union (EU) in developing a policy of open boundaries and what strategies it uses to ; implement the policy. ; The panel met with government representatives, terminal operators, logistics providers, and shippers to gain a ; broad understanding of how the EU has attempted to develop a common market, and how the private sector ; has responded. The group met with various industry and government representatives from the Netherlands, ; Italy, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and with representatives of the European Commission in Brussels. ; Findings from this study could be relevant to the United States, Canada, and Mexico in developing a common ; North American market. These lessons also are important for national and subnational investment decisions ; relating to enhanced freight movement. Case studies of public/private sector freight investment initiatives in ; the EU may be of particular interest.
