Digitalised electronic documents for cross-border transport

Question for written answer P-000221-18
to the Commission
Rule 130
Asim Ademov (PPE)

Cross-border transport constitutes the backbone of the European single market, and while facilitation of multimodal operations is a general EU transport policy goal with a view to enhancing the efficiency of the transport system and reducing its environmental impact, the potential of digitalisation is still not being exploited to the full, which results in unnecessary administrative burdens and costs.

1. Within the framework of the development of the Single Market Strategy, how does the Commission plan on fully implementing digitalised electronic documents throughout the whole transport chain?

2. Will this implementation be mandatory and what would the incentives be?

3. What types of electronic format would the transport documents be in — will an open format IT system be used, or a specific electronic document (electronic visual rendition in Word, Excel or PDF format)?
