In the EURIFT-Newsletter a series of country profiles about the old and new EU-memberstates was published. These single profiles have been compiled in a reader which is now available. The profiles take a look at the countries from the perspective of transport. A map with the transport infrastructure is provided and political, societal and economic basic facts and basic information on the country´s transport system. This gives everyone engaged in European transport and logistics a quick reference for orientation about the European Union. To cover our printing and shipping costs we allow us to charge 15€ within Germany and 20€ for the rest of Europe (including non-EU-countries)
