TEN-T digital transport corridors in the Republic of Moldova: achievements and perspectives

This article examines the European practice of establishing connections to the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) and digital transport corridors, as well as the potential for cross-border paperless operations in e-logistics operations in the Republic of Moldova. The necessity for improvement in the methodological and innovative approaches to e-government at the regional and local level is discussed, as well as the need for unification of national e-commerce and logistics systems of candidate countries in accordance with the INSPIRE Directive. The EU-Ukraine Solidarity Lanes initiative plays an important role in facilitating recovery and integration of Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova into the EU single market. In order to achieve this, there is a clear need for the modernization of cross-border digital services. The significance of "living labs" in the integration of transport networks between the border sections of regional territories comprising the physical pan-European transport corridor is emphasised. In accordance with the "National Digital Transformation Strategy until 2030" and "National Strategy for Smart Specialisation by 2030," a special focus is placed on the utilisation of local innovative infrastructure for the efficient integration of local communities in the EU Digital Single Market.
