OPINIE - OPINION: e-CMR - Come on Europe, give it some gas

We read on the TransFollow website, “In February 2008, an additional e-protocol was added to the CMR Convention, which entered into force in June 2011. The e-protocol provides a legal framework and legal standards for the use of electronic means in recording the CMR waybill. A total of 24 countries have now ratified. On Wednesday 27 November 2019, the European Parliament and the European Council reached an agreement to require member states to accept freight documents digitally. Digital data exchange is expected to be made mandatory by 2026 at the latest.”
