Unlocking e-commerce potential is central to the development of the new EU digital single market and digital economy stated the Alliance for European Logistics (AEL) during yesterday’s 7th European Logistics Summit.
AEL believes the time has come to update the existing regulatory framework to fully exploit the potential of e-commerce and to stimulate investments and innovation across Europe.
Transport infrastructure investments were also discussed as AEL urged European policy-makers to consider infrastructure projects in the President Juncker’s US$337 billion investment plan. The completion of the Internal Market for freight transport services should continue to be a priority for the EU if it is to ensure fair competition and the most efficient use of its transport infrastructure.
Speaking at the Summit, the president of AEL, Mathieu Grosch, said “it is time to improve the efficiency of the supply chain and encourage e-commerce innovation in Europe through digitalisation”.
“Globalisation in transport modes and smart infrastructure investments should be prioritised over allocating funds per country, while obstacles in transport infrastructure and cabotage should be removed in a fair internal market,” he concluded.
