Paving the way for EU enlargement

This third report developed under the EU's transport and environment reporting mechanism (TERM) is the first to include the 13 accession countries (ACs). As in previous reports, the TERM indicators are used to answer a set of policy questions related to the integration of environmental concerns into transport policies. This comparative analysis of the differences and similarities between the EU and the ACs should contribute to the continuing debate on how to achieve more sustainable transport within an enlarged EU.
