This article aims to create awareness about the challenges related to the improved rail connection,
both in terms of travel time and reliability, between China and Europe that Transport Police have to face in terms of
criminality. The number of freight trains and the volume of loads transported from Asia to Europe are growing
continuously, generating risks for the security of the European Union member states produced by the criminal groups or
individuals looking to seize the chance to smuggle illicit commodities. Addressed not only to the law enforcement
agencies, but in the same time to the railway companies and their employees, this editorial is intended to raise a question
mark in the context of feeble balance of economic interest in report with the needs for security - from social, financial
and health point of view - of the European Union member states.
