Abstract: In this note we propose a new characterization of the completion of the set of balanced bounded measures compactly supported in IRd with respect to the Monge-Kantorovich norm. This extends the well known case d=1 (see [6]). Different issues connected with the existence of Monge dual potentials and tangent spaces to measures (see [1], [3], [4]) are also discussed.
