Companies related to these groups were invited to discuss and decide actions. The target was to achieve more effective logistics in the region. Actions leaded to substantial improvements. Result indicators - better logistics regarding costs, volumes and shift from road to rail and sea. Compliance with other initiatives and programmes were important. Actions and business development were to address TEN-T network, emerging East-West corridors and North Sea - Baltic Motorways of the Sea.
