International rail and road freight
The quality of land transport links on the Continent are also vital for the UK's supply change - the majority of the UK's trade is with our fellow EU members. The ongoing liberalisation of European rail freight should be a positive development for the UK, as operators compete and services improve. This will bring the rest of Europe further into line with the competitive market in the UK. Road links on the Continent face the same challenges as in the UK - congestion and how to address the environmental debate.
