Experience of the European Union in the formation of transport corridors

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the experience of the European Union in the formation of transport corridors. The geographical density of Western Europe determines the need for efficient cargo delivery systems that will minimize financial and time costs, as well as risks during transportation. This has led to the development of international programs and national projects based on the principles of logistics. The European Union has succeeded in creating an integrated transport system, which reflects the success of the policy pursued in this area. Today, there is an interest in international experience in the field of integration. The development of transport infrastructure is a key factor in this process, as it allows for the creation of more efficient and integrated economic unions. An interesting research object in this context is the experience of the European Union, which is an integration association with the deepest degree of integration. It is necessary to identify and summarize the patterns associated with the formation and functioning of European international transport corridors, which are key routes for international trade. The author highlights the main elements that contribute to attracting export and import flows of goods through transport corridors passing through the European Union. The integration of the transport market and the implementation of a coordinated transport policy are the cornerstones of the creation of a single market for goods and services. The conclusion is made about the possibility of using the experience of the European Union in the formation of international transport corridors by the Eurasian Economic Union in terms of the mechanism for launching projects at the local level, their mandatory co-financing, as well as the adoption of special program documents to coordinate the development of one or more interconnected international transport corridors.
