Franz-Josef Schneiders Transport Security:
A national perspective from Germany 7
• High degree of dynamism and complexity in a globalised world
• Global value-chains aimed at interlinking
• Increasing vulnerability of open societies
• The transport sector is elementary for the supply with goods and
raw materials
• Great interdependencies with nearly all other economic setors
• Great macroeconomic impact on employment
• The growth in transport is disproportionate to the growth of the
GDP
