Bottlenecks along the way… • • Lack of involvement from the industry; Reluctance to initiative and change; No cooperation between the parties involved in the transport chain No cooperation between various transport Associations (road, rail, river); Outputs (CIPROC) – “RIA as a communication platform…. ” – The opportunity of being in close contact with transport and shipping industry across Europe and Worldwide; – The opportunity to promote their services; Advertising; – The opportunity to beneficiate from the EU financing programs – Awareness on a necessary steps to be taken together in order to develop an efficient transport chain in a friendly environment
CONCLUSION THE STRENGTH OF ANY ASSOCIATION IS IN THE QUALITY AND INVOLVEMENT OF IT’S MEMBERS. MANY GOOD THINGS CAN BE ACHIEVED BY USING RIA AS A LEADING VEHICLE, BUT TO DO THIS, WE NEED YOUR INVOLVEMENT !
