"Ladies and gentlemen, this issue of the systematic collection of statistical data is particularly important to us. In Lithuania, the carriage of goods by sea constitutes just a small percentage of all goods carried and therefore, it is possible to achieve much more in this field. Furthermore, our coastal tourism sector also has great growth potential. By modernising goods transport logistics and promoting co-modality, i.e. combining various modes of transport within the same transport chain, we have the opportunity to increase the prosperity of the Baltic region. This is particularly important in order to maintain the future competitiveness of Europe’s ports, such as the Lithuanian port of Klaipėda. Closer cooperation between the Baltic countries will help bring them closer together and will make our region’s market more harmonious and accessible to the whole of the European Union. Currently, the Baltic countries are, to a large extent, isolated from the European transport network. It is hoped that traffic between the Baltic countries will double by 2020 and therefore, we must address the lack of suitable infrastructure and accessibility. Most importantly, we must ensure that data collection does not create an additional burden for Member States. We have nothing to lose."@en1
