B. LOGISTICS 

 

In a greener, environmentally friendly Europe, sustainable transport is vital. However, the EU still proposes actions that would raise costs without significant environmental improvement. Commerce absolutely requires an optimal system for transport and logistics, which weds cost-efficiency with the reduction of negative environmental impact. Voluntary measures have already been put in place but we need EU support to fund research and innovation.
