‘stresses, therefore, the positive impact of market opening on the environmental efficiency of road transport’
‘Underlines the need to better manage the borders between Somalia and its neighbouring countries, which are considered a playing field for networks engaged in the trafficking and smuggling of people, arms, drugs and other illicit goods, hence providing financing for criminal and terrorist activities;’
