As to air transport, it is expected to ensure just and fair competition; provide flights safety and air safety and to expand air traffic.

As to water transport, it is expected to facilitate transportation procedures (to/from the third countries) to the ports of member-countries; to enhance the procedure for vessels calling through internal water channels and to harmonize the programs of personnel training.   

As to railway transport, it is expected to enhance the organization of trains traffic and implement paperless technologies; introduce flexible tariff policy and accept coordinated solutions for creation and development of velocity and high-velocity passenger transport.

Also, major areas of coordinated transport policy will be considered during preparation and implementation of the national short-term and long-term development strategies in the field of transport.  By 2025, EEU member-countries will take measures to eliminate existing transportation restrictions.
