Transport In Europe
Transport movement of people, goods (transport object) in space by appropriate means (of transport). Transportation needs are secondary to the group of human needs and are related to the fact the spatial distribution of various resources, crowds of people and jobs. Transport accompanied mankind since the beginning of civilization. It is next to the communications branch of theeconomy that increase the utility of goods through their movements in space. Transport is closely linked with the rest of the economy. Its development determines their growth and worse economic development or transportation associated with the worsening situation in the transport, respectively and the economy. In conjunction with the logistic and freight forwarding, transportation is part of theTransport-Shipping-Logistic.
From the point of view of economics is to reward transport services, which is mostly the results of displacement of people and cargo. Hence the basic division of transport on passenger transport (communication) and freight (cargo). Another frequently used classification of transport involves the division because of the environment in which a particular type of transporttakes place.
Distinguish between the transport division of functions into primary and secondary. Primary functions are to transport and related handling functions. For the secondary functions include, in particular respiratory protection function (construction and maintenance) and is also the responsibility.
Transport is one of the sectors with the most harmful impact on the environment and health.For example in 2005 the EU-27 sector was responsible for generating 19% of carbon dioxide. Therefor the European Union in the framework of sustainable transport policies take coordinated action to reduce the harmful effects through the integration of transport policy with environmental policy. The result of these activities include: tightening emissions standards, promotion of alternative energysources (biofuels).
TRANSPORTATION IN EUROPE
The evolution of transport that brings about the development and improvement has always been linked to the development of economic activity and the creation of direct and indirect jobs. Construction of transport equipment has evolved in different themes, shipbuilding, railway, automotive and aerospace. Transportation is also aneconomic factor of production of goods and services. They provide an added value ( wealth created by a company) for goods and services, they allow the large-scale production and also a greater division of labor, according to Adam Smith studied, we can give the example jeans, design workshops and design are usually located in the North remain where the majority of potential buyers. jeans are thenordered manufacturers working in the cotton world. Cotton to manufacture jeans it originates from Pakistan, South Korea, Benin, Burkina Faso and other countries in West Africa . Following the major evolution of the transport division of work is not a question of company but of the international level. Transportation is also the time factor and a reflection of economic activity.
In fact the efficientoperation of transport is a prerequisite for the European economy. Indeed, this sector employs ten million people and represents approximately one billion euros per year, more than 10% of EU GDP. At the same time, it also generates significant social and environmental benefits that await an effective policy. into account that the views of all segments that make up the European civil society.

The development of trade, if properly managed, stimulates economic growth. This calls for the EU to be competitive and that rules are set at the international level.
Initiated in 1957, the liberalization of road transport in Europe is accelerating way more...
