Ukrainian path to the EU. Polish experience. Transport sector

The report was prepared as part of the project “Ukraine’s Path to the European Union. The Polish Experience”, implemented jointly by the Warsaw Enterprise Institute (Poland) and the Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting (Ukraine).

Key components of the project include expert seminars and sectoral reports focusing on sensitive areas of the economy that may, on the one hand, be sources of competition and potential disputes between Polish and Ukrainian businesses and, on the other, offer opportunities for cooperation and complementarity between the two economies.

This report examines the current state and prospects of road freight transport in Poland and Ukraine, covering key sector trends, the regulatory environment, and the impact of the war on Ukraine’s transport infrastructure. It explores opportunities for Polish-Ukrainian cooperation, including the development of border and logistics infrastructure, the digitalisation of transport and customs procedures, alignment of regulatory frameworks with EU standards, and the promotion of fair competition. The report also considers priorities for modernising Ukraine’s transport system and further integrating it into the European transport network.

The report is available below in both English and Polish.
