8. I would appreciate / recommend a BESTUFS workshop in the next 12 months on the

following theme(s):

• Rail freight in urban areas • PPP in urban freight • Innovative solutions • Financial sustainability • Regulations & legislative frameworks • Last mile solutions • A follow up workshop at one of the cities featured in the presentations e.g. Cork to

observe how the measures were working • Night time logistics (night deliveries) • Market solutions for urban freight • Approaches of commercial operators - how do they optimise urban transportation without

public influence? • How can costs on transhipment and cross-docking be reduced, as they are a main burden

for bundling of transports? • Who are the stakeholders? - Urban freight transport from different point of views • EU Expects and Fundamental principles about solutions of city-logistics - Motions

reassembling • The use of economic instruments for achieving sustainable transport in cities • How to enhance co-operation between relevant parties of city logistics - good examples,

working solutions

9. Additional remarks (if relevant):

• The visit to the freight village was useful. The cooperation of the Mayor's office and the HLA was very good

• The screen for the presentations was small • Excellent organisation with a very good programme of urban logistics presentations and

discussions as well as cultural events
