The collapse of communism in the country of the Central and Eastern Europe
and the subsequent orientation of these countries towards the free market ,
has also opened up new avenues of trade that extend the beyond the border
of the EU.
Changes in the demand for logistics Services 3
Markets for goods and services in Europe have become much less
fragmented
Companies increasingly regard the EU as their home market rather
than having their trading horizons restricted to a single country
- Many large Companies now take a supply chain view when considering
new ways to:
1) Integrate their own operation
2) Then seek to extend this integration to their supply chain
partners.

Small Logistics Provider: The impact of EU are far more limited as they don’t have the
capacity to extent their activities
Customer Culture: The customers of logistics service provider could either purchase service at the
European level or on a national basis

Strategies
-Service providers need to determine the extent to which they can meet all the service requirements
or realistically only meet part of those needs
-Logistics service providers needed to be concerned with two dimensions to their activities and these
dimension highlights how challenging it is for logistics service providers to provide ‘one stop
shopping’

Developments in logistics and the impact on transport and traffic 16
Identified the importance of mobility for economic growth and the quality of
life of citizens.
The White Paper goes on to note that although transport enables economic
growth and job creation it must be environmentally sustainable.
Identifies both old and new transport challenges in the EU, and asserts that
these will need to be addressed through a combination of:
• new transport infrastructure requirements
• the use of traffic and logistics management and information systems to
ensure more efficient use of existing infrastructure
• new vehicle technologies
White Paper lists 10 goals 19
• Halve the use of ‘conventionally fuelled’ cars in urban transport by 2030; phase them out in
cities by 2050; achieve essentially CO2-free city logistics in major urban centres by 2030.
• Low-carbon sustainable fuels in aviation to reach 40 per cent by 2050; also by 2050 reduce EU
CO2 emissions from maritime bunker fuels by 40 per cent.
• 30 per cent of road freight over 300 kilometres should shift to other modes such as rail or
waterborne transport by 2030, and more than 50 per cent by 2050.
• By 2050, complete a European high-speed rail network. Triple the length of the existing high-
speed rail network by 2030 and maintain a dense railway network in all member states. By 2050
the majority of medium-distance passenger transport should go by rail.
• A fully functional and EU-wide multimodal TEN-T [Trans-European] ‘core network’ by 2030, with
a high quality and capacity network by 2050.
• By 2050, connect all core network airports to the rail network, preferably high-speed.
White Paper lists 10 goals 20
• Deployment of the modernized air traffic management infrastructure (SESAR) in Europe by 2020
and completion of the European Common Aviation Area. Deployment of equivalent land and
waterborne transport management systems. Deployment of the European Global Navigation
Satellite System (Galileo).
• By 2020, establish the framework for a European multimodal transport information,
management and payment system.
• By 2050, move close to zero fatalities in road transport. In line with this goal, the EU aims at
halving road casualties by 2020. Make sure that the EU is a world leader in safety and security of
transport in all modes of transport.
• Move towards full application of ‘user pays’ and ‘polluter pays’ principles, and private sector
engagement to eliminate distortions (including harmful subsidies), generate revenues and
ensure financing for future transport investments.
Policies encouraging the use of rail, inland waterway and short-sea shipping 21
• The European Commission hopes to achieve higher freight mode shares for on-road modes
through a combination of measures to achieve two key objectives:
• regulated competition between modes
• the integration of modes for successful intermodality
• The White Paper argues that transport charges and taxes must be restructured
• White Paper intends to create the necessary framework to permit the tracing of goods in real
time, ensure intermodal liability and promote clean freight transport.
• At the international level, the European Union is continuing to implement its Trans-European
Network (TEN-T) program (European Commission, 2013c).
• The policy was refocused in 2013 and is now based on nine major long-distance corridors.
• The core network has a heavy emphasis on rail, inland waterway, sea and cross-border
connections, with a limited focus on road schemes.
Policies encouraging the use of rail, inland waterway and short-sea shipping 22
• European Union has therefore promoted the concept of ‘motorways of the sea’, which is a
component of TEN-T (European Commission, 2006) and focuses primarily on the movement of
freight. Four corridors have been identified for the development of projects that aim to:
• develop more efficient, more cost-effective and less polluting freight transport
• reduce road congestion at major bottlenecks across Europe
• provide better quality, more reliable connections for Europe’s peripheral regions
• assist in making Europe’s economy stronger and more sustainable
Policies encouraging the use of rail, inland waterway and short-sea shipping 23
• Particular issues exist for rail freight operations, which have been slow to adapt to the Single
European Market.
• Policies have been developed to encourage rail freight to become more competitive. These
include:
• Open and non-discriminatory access to infrastructure for rail freight service providers so as
to stimulate competition,
• Transparent pricing regimes
• Interoperability between national transport networks
• The development of priority rail freight corridors and quality assurance standards for
freight services
Other policy measures affecting road freight transport 24

Opportunities and pressure for logistics providers in a new Europe 26
Many multinational companies are rationalizing the number of logistics service providers they
deal with across Europe- in much the same way as they have rationalized their production and
warehousing operations.
This, altogether with the growth in intra-European trade, leading to greater demand for transport
and logistics services. Political changes have opened up new geographical markets, both for
production and consumption. International transport companies engaged in cross-border
European work already realized that strategies may need to be tailored to the respective country
of operation.
So, devising and implementing the right logistics strategies lies at the heart of
successfully capitalizing on these commercial opportunities available in Europe.
27
Naturally, what is right for one company will not be right for all. In particular, there lies
important differences between the sort of strategies and initiatives that need to be devised by
larger companies and those of smaller ones.

they need to find ways to tie their operations into those of their customers so that they
become a vital part of their customers’ distribution operation.
Conclusion: 29
Logistics management and supply chain strategies play a critical role in the competitiveness
of firms too. Indeed it has been argued that increasingly competition is between supply chains
rather than individual enterprises.
30
Therefore, ways need to be found to encourage more companies operating in Europe to use
logistics approaches and to ensure that those approaches that contribute to sustainability become
more widely disseminated.
