The Round Table (21 participants) examined the problems arising from the practical application, from the political standpoint and in the transport sector, of methods of aid to decision-making, such as cost-benefit analyses. The report outlines the difficulties encountered in terms of choice of procedures (lack of data, non-quantifiable problems, choice of methods, etc.), and defines the conditions essential for ensuring efficiency. The report, which is supplemented by a technical document and a bibliography, contains an appendix giving examples as well as a summary of the proceedings.
