Text of Note

Since the need for communication and transportation does not know any national borders, the functioning of the networks needs to be adopted to this new economic and political geography. In certain transport modes the growth is expected to be even faster - air passenger transport doubled in 10 years and goods transport on roads doubled in 15 years.
