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. 21/10/2016 4
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 21/10/2016 5
