Transport
Competition within the transport industry enables citizens to benefit from efficient and cheaper transport. Free competition also acts as a driving force to open up European networks and therefore gives investments and the network a continental dimension. In this context, the European Union is focusing on regulating this competition through legislation applicable to each mode of transport and a framework for State aid.
