  4. Priorities and Projects • Integrated “port-railways” transport schemes. • Technological priorities (containers, swap-bodies, semi-trailers, Ro-La transport). • Infrastructure priorities. • Projects.

  5. Pan-European Transport Corridor 4 • Big potential for long distance railway transport after: • Construction of the Bosporus Railway Tunnel; • Construction of the New Danube Bridge at Vidin-Calafat; • Establishing favourable conditions that enable transport organizations to achieve a healthy growth. • Coordination in infrastructure planning between the countries.
