Abstract

The general transport network in the European Union is of particular importance, especially under the conditions of the two Directives on the free movement of goods and services in the European Community. Freight and goods transport is carried out by road, rail, ship and air. Each of these modes of transport has particularities which, depending on the group of goods, lend themselves to the movement of goods. The European Union has adopted an own strategy aimed at developing and harmonizing the transport network in each Member State so as to achieve a unitary transport network at Union level. In this context, using the data provided by Eurostat, the authors carry out a detailed analysis of the evolution of transport in the European Union. The emphasis is also on the situation presented by Romania, underlining the need for urgent action to bring the quality of the infrastructure in the other EU countries closer.
