Demand for transport continues to rise as our economies and societies become more integrated. This is creating new innovation and investment opportunities but also new challenges for the sector. The EU promotes mobility that is efficient, safe, secure and environmentally friendly, serving the needs of citizens and business.

To ensure that unnecessary costs are removed and rules are as effective and efficient as possible, since 2015 under REFIT, 30 initiatives have been adopted and 4 are pending adoption. Moreover, 27 evaluations have been finalised and 1 is ongoing.
