• This report presents the main results of the research activities carried out within the DESTIN project (Defining and Evaluating a Strategic Transport Infrastructure Network in the western Mediterranean) of the Inco-Med programme of the Community Fifth Framework Programme. IRAT, as partner of the project, has been responsible for WP4, that dealt with the multimodal chains and transport interoperability between Maghreb countries and between each country of this region and Mediterranean countries of EU. The innovative aspect of the work has been the analysis of specific transport chains: Citrus Fruit Transport Chain: Morocco’s export to France; Cereal Transport Chain: France’s export to Algeria; Cement Transport Chain: Spanish export to Algeria; Sugar Transport Chain: France’s export to Algeria; The Textile and Clothing Transport Chain: Spain - Morocco and Tunisia – Italy. One of the main results is that in all the transport chains analysed, ports are the major bottleneck and streamlining their operations is an obvious reform priority. Different factors prevent ports to efficiently fulfil their role as primary modal interface in cross-border chains: public owned and strongly protected by public monopoly; highly inefficient and expensive port handling services; lacking of modern infrastructures and handling equipment; competent management skills; IT infrastructures and know-how; customs procedures. Policy reform and infrastructures investment should be prioritised and coordinated between the Maghreb countries, with the objective to increase traffic flows efficiency (costs, time and reliability). Moreover, the removal of political, administrative and tariffs barriers at the land borders will facilitate the south-south integration and it will extend the ports hinterlands beyond national borders.
