The Trans-European North-South Motorway (TEM): Finding the Ways of Practical Co-Operation

The Governments of Austria, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania, Turkey and Yugoslavia have decided to cooperate in the planning, constructing and operating a motorway of harmonized technical and operational standards. The countries have established a need for one roadway to connect their countries on one motorway. It is expected that the construction of the North-South Motorway will bring many advantages for the economic and social development of the European region. The motorway is expected to: (1) facilitate the expansion of international trade, particularly for perishable food; (2) facilitate and stimulate the development of motorized tourism and provide access to new recreation areas; and (3) create an atmosphere of understanding among the governments of the countries.This chapter will outline the objectives of the project, organization of the project and accomplishments of the project.
