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.
