During the discussion it was highlighted that the main problem is the unbalanced amount of cargo e.g. more cargo is needed from west to east to fill up the empty trucks from Oulu and Raahe returning back to Russia.  The participants agree that more information about transportation possibilities should be disseminate to Karelian companies.

Two new openings were introduced by Russian participants: First, an idea to establish a hub in Nadvoitsy was introduced. The hub and storage area would serve both truck and railway transport. Second, an idea to rebuild an airport in Pääjärvi (Pjaozero) to serve tourism was presented.
