Created in 2009 by seven institutional partners in order to federate public actors and private companies. The mission: support the governmental strategy aiming to reinforce the sector. The Cluster does not only focus on logistics companies but welcomes enterprises making use of logistics services. Currently the Cluster regroups over 100

• actors. Around 60 belong to the Logistics

sector while the rest provides or requests specific services. Typical actions of the Clusters :

• Increase the recognition of logistics in Luxembourg
• Manage workgroups to improvecompetitiveness
• Communicate recommendations to governmental authorities

Where are we now?

• Exists since 2008
• Eight European countries adopted e-CMR protocol
• The Netherlands, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Latvia,

Lithuania, Slovakia, Spain and Switzerland

• Equivalent to the paper CMR version – no paper version

needed anymore Main advantages:

• Reduction of time and costs
• Reduction of fraud
• More Transparency and easier archiving

Problem: It needs two bordering countries for cross-border transport.

EU supports ECMR Example: On the Digital Transport and Logistics Forum 1st Plenary session Brussels, 1 & 2 July 2015 e-transport documents: Enforcement bodies are prepared to check on eDocuments rather than on paper documents. Since the adoption, shippers have experienced reduction of administrative burden and better management of time. Push for ratification of the eCMR protocol: the fact that only 10 MSs have ratified the eProtocol (eCMR) makes the cross-border use of the eCMR partly

• impossible. This is why Forum Members call the EU to push for ratification.

Multimodal transport documents: some stakeholders also call for the development and use of cross-modal eDocuments. Related cross-modal liability questions may need to be looked into

Purpose:

• Analysis of the sector in collaboration with the CRP Henri Tudor
• Implement a genuine logistics development policy in a globalized

economic world

• Allows public and private sectors to optimally allocate resources to

develop a coherent strategy

• 222 recommendations were presented to politicians which led to

the implementation of a large part. (the study can be downloaded on the website of the Cluster) In the study Future for Logistics (2012): the members of C4L recommend a stronger implication of Electronic documents and the Single Window for Logistics in order to optimize the processes involving all players, speed up operations and have a faster transit of goods
