European electronic Freight Transport Information

13 January 2021

The European electronic Freight Transport Information (eFTI) regulation is a fundamental step towards seamless digital information exchange with public authorities.

In short, it is about digitising the flow of goods to give government and related companies access to what is being transported without the intervention of paper documents. The controlling authority can then digitally see what is on board wagon, truck, ship etc.

Goods flows
It is mandatory for the government to go digital on everything in the field of goods flows (multimodal) at European level. For entrepreneurs, it is now still voluntary. The website of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management states more instructions.
