Transports sustain directly the economic relationship between countries
and evolve according to connection between supply and demand. They bring a
continuous and direct effort to valorification of our planet resources, contributing
to redistribution of incomes and to world economic and social progress.

transports, and of a relation with economic impact at European level. They are
taken into consideration both microeconomic and macroeconomic level. The role
of freight transports is presented and analyzed in interdependence with logistic
activities from logistic system and with other indicators.
The analyze starts from analytical relation of logistic system-freight
transport, in endorsement of the idea of dragging an urgent attention to transports
field. The results are sustained by presenting some indicators with economic
impact at Romanian and European Union level. A highlighted relation is also that
