Lithuanian transport in the European market: strategy and prospects
Santrauka
While developing and reforming the Lithuanian transport sector in compliance with national needs, one should pay maximum attention to the main trends of the European Union transport policy. It is clear that the ranking of transport development objectives continues to change in the light of significant technological developments, further liberalisation of the transport market, continuing globalisation of trade, and growing environmental concerns. At a European wide level, the objectives for transport continue to be adopted and changed in the light of new demands. Both Europe and Lithuania face new objectives for transport development, such as restoring the balance between modes of transport and developing intermodality, putting safety and quality of services on top of the efforts of transport companies as well as public institutions.
