Abstract
The policy-making and the enforcement of economic policies which respect the protection of the environment is sine qua non for the sustainable economy. This is also the case for the freight transport policy. On the other hand, we must elaborate the efficient transport system of good quality from the viewpoint of the supply chain management in order to meet the requirements in the freight transport market. One of the solutions is the combined transport. This article presents the discussions on the combined transport system which have been examined from the mid-1970s by European Union.
