New problems are certainly not lacking in the field of transport: environmental damage, integrating central and eastern European countries in international trade, infrastructure saturation, funding public transport in a difficult economic climate, restructuring state-owned enterprises, and the responses of the players involved in these changes. This list is by no means exhaustive and clearly calls for innovative and carefully considered solutions. This was precisely the aim of the thirteenth ECMT Symposium. This publication comprises the twenty introductory reports written by specialists for the Symposium and a full summary of discussions. These discussions, attended by over 300 participants, gave rise to a number of solutions which go beyond traditional thinking in transport economics.
