Istanbul

The scientific conclusions of the Black Sea Ring Highway Caravan have been made public on 26 June 2007, on the occasion of the Caravan’s final ceremony and press gala staged in Istanbul, the day after the 15th Anniversary Summit of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC), and in partnership with the BSEC Organisation and the Union of Road Transport Associations of the BSEC Region (BSEC-URTA).

The NEA Transport Research Centre has analysed the data collected en route by the Caravan with regards to non-physical barriers to road transport, and has estimated the annual costs of these barriers within the BSEC region at a total of € 229 million for waiting times at borders, transport permits and driver visas. The analysis also highlighted the preponderance of unmodernised border-crossing facilities.
