Freight Integrator Action Plan

Introduction

The White Paper on European transport policy for 2010 emphasised the role of transport flows organisers as a developing profession – “freight integrators” - able to combine the specific strength of each mode at European and world wide level to offer their clients the best services, in the broader sense.

These organisers of international freight transport face a complex and difficult task. They must master a range of legal, technical and commercial issues in order to arrange door to door shipments. As announced in the White Paper the Commission is examining ways to support the organizers of freight transport and intends to produce an Action Plan in the near future.
