Abstract: We prove that c-cyclically monotone transport plans pi optimize the Monge-Kantorovich transportation problem under an additional measurability condition. This measurability condition is always satisfied for finitely valued, lower semi-continuous cost functions. In particular, this yields a positive answer to Problem 2.25 in C. Villani's book. We emphasize that we do not need any regularity conditions as were imposed in the previous literature.
