6/1/2002 WHITE PAPER "European transport policy for 2010: time to decide" Source:www.europa.eu.int, Source date: Available in 11 languages from: http://europa.eu.int/comm/energy_transport/en/lb_en.html Objective is to gradually break the link between growth of transport and economic growth. The main action priorities:
The proposal is to launch a large-scale programme (Marco Polo) to support intermodal
Initiatives and alternatives to road transport in early stages until they become
commercially viable. Intermodality will also require rapid introduction of series
of technical measures, particularly on containers, loading units, and the profession
of freight integrators
