Abstract: The purpose of the international scan was to investigate the issues, constraints, opportunities, and challenges\nfaced by the European Union (EU) in developing a policy of open boundaries and what strategies it uses to\nimplement the policy.\nThe panel met with government representatives, terminal operators, logistics providers, and shippers to gain a\nbroad understanding of how the EU has attempted to develop a common market, and how the private sector\nhas responded. The group met with various industry and government representatives from the Netherlands,\nItaly, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and with representatives of the European Commission in Brussels.\nFindings from this study could be relevant to the United States, Canada, and Mexico in developing a common\nNorth American market. These lessons also are important for national and subnational investment decisions\nrelating to enhanced freight movement. Case studies of public/private sector freight investment initiatives in\nthe EU may be of particular interest.\n
