Opportunities for common learning actions within Marco Polo II programme in Croatia and Montenegro

Due to the growing trend of road freight transport, together with its negative consequences in terms of additional road infrastructure costs, accidents, congestion, local and global pollution, environmental damage, unreliability of the supply chain and logistics processes, the modal shift from road reansport to alternative, environmentally friendlier, modes of transport are put at the heart of the EU sustainable development strategy. In order to stimulate the modal shift from road transport to short sea shipping, railway and inland waterways the EU uses different tools one of which is the co- financing of projects within the Marco Polo programme that stimulate congestion reduction, encourage new approaches and stimulating initiatives inside the transport and logistics sector, motivate the use of technical innovations in all transport modes and their management. Marco Polo II programme consists of five different funding areas: modal shift action, catalyst action, common learning action, motorways of the sea action and traffic avoidance action. Since 2008 the Marco Polo programme is managed by the Executive Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation (EACI).
