Press Release: Transport: Reinforcing cooperation between Europe and Africa

Strengthening cooperation between Europe and Africa in the transport sector is at the core of the communication that the European Commission adopted on 24 June, 2009. It aimed to connect the Trans-European and African networks, in particular through developing a common map of transport infrastructures. The Commission will make available the experience it gained from European transport policy to its African partners. This seeks to contribute to the implementation of a more efficient transport system, assisting in the development of the African continent in order to face the challenges of poverty, environmental degradation and migratory imbalances.
