Transport

The aspects of TRANSPORT specified by the Agreement for consideration by the NSMC are co-operation on strategic transport planning including road and rail infrastructure and public transport services and road and rail safety. The Joint Communiqués following the Council meetings are listed below.
Included among the decisions agreed by the NSMC at its December 2000 meeting were:
  • the identification of opportunities for co-operation in relation to Strategic Transport Planning, including a review of strategies for the development of cross-border national/arterial roads; a review of the scope for further development of cross-border rail and bus services and the identification of opportunities for practical co-operation on the implementation of specific transport projects. A detailed work programme based on these opportunities is to be drawn as soon as possible;
  • that Joint Road Safety Campaigns would continue to be promoted by the Department of the Environment and the National Safety Council with one such campaign envisaged annually;
  • that research would be undertaken by the relevant authorities on both sides of the border on road accident matters in certain border areas;
  • that the scope for developing mutual recognition of endorsements for road traffic offences be explored; and
  • that a detailed work program on Rail Safety would be prepared, based on identified opportunities for cooperation.
