Press Release: Strengthening the Eastern Partnership through transport: key results and next steps

EU and Eastern Partnership transport ministers met on 9 October 2013 in Luxembourg to assess progress and endorse the next steps for improving transport connections. In 2011 the European Commission presented a transport action plan for bringing the EU's eastern neighbours closer to the EU. Transport cooperation with the Eastern Partnership countries is essential for increasing trade links and bringing the eastern and western halves of the European continent closer together.
