4. CEE’s arguments in logistics
In the context of the economic crisis, CEE strategic location factors play an important role for regional companies which adapt and change their logistic services by developing new scenarios for the shipping industry in order to obtain a better position on the global market. Together with further deepening of the single market, integration of the EU with neighbor regions will continue. Globalization, enabled by the liberalization of trade and by developments in transport (such as
reefer containers) led to enhancement of the world economy. Transport outside Europe will increase much more than inside Europe and EU external trade and transport are likely to keep growing rapidly in the coming years.
