- To promote high competitiveness, reliability, and high quality services performance of the EWTC, implementing common key performance indicators and standards, achieving simplified procedures and documentation.
- To deepen intermodality along EWTC through harmonized development of infrastructures and technologies of different transport modes.
- To represent interests of the associated EWTC partners in European Commission as well as for national and regional governments.
