13. Achievements Oversize transport corridors
One stop shop legislation point OTIN
Competence development structure

14. One stop shop legislation point OTIN
“Each Member State should adopt the one-stop-shop principle with respect to granting abnormal road transports permits. This means that, in a Member State, applicants should only contact one single permit authority to obtain an abnormal road transport permit”- European best practice guidelines for the Abnormal transport
Web based infrastructure
Cooperation among road authorities
Adaptation of regulations – unite the system

15. Competence development structure
Business oriented
Assuring functionality of the corridors
Implementing common rules
Foster transit streams
