The Polish transport industry is facing an historical opportunity, as entry barriers to the huge and lucrative EU market are about to be removed, and Poland is to become part of a single market stretching from Gibraltar to Tallinn.
Europe’s commodity transport market is expected to grow by almost 25 percent in 2005-2010, to some 2,045 billion kilometre tonnes. Road transport is expected to rise by 37 percent, growing by an annual rate of over 6 percent in the coming years. Next year, the market is expected to be worth some 220 billion euro.
The expected rise in transport volumes has already taken place, with commodity transport traffic at Poland’s border crossings up 20 percent in January-February on the same period of last year.

The contractor, General Logistics Systems, Ireland (GLS), is a Dublin-based subsidiary of the Royal Mail in Britain. The United States Postal Service (USPS) signed an agreement with Royal Mail over a year ago to deliver air-mail packages from the US to 23 countries in Europe.
