EAEU established working group to implement “pilot” on applying e-CMR electronic international consignment notes
On March 11, the Eurasian Economic Commission's Board decided to establish a Working Group for implementing a pilot project on the use of electronic international consignment notes e-CMR in international road freight transport in the Eurasian Economic Union countries.
The Working Group will include representatives of the EAEU countries' authorized bodies in the field of transport, digitalization, tax and customs regulation, as well as the business community, scientific organizations and industry associations.
Arzybek Kozhoshev, EEC Minister in charge of Energy and Infrastructure, was appointed as head of the expert platform.
“Today we have made another step towards transiting to legally binding electronic document flow in the field of road transport. The Working Group will determine the terms and procedure for the pilot project on applying electronic international consignment notes in the EAEU, as well as explore practical issues of its implementation,” the EEC Minister noted.
The main purpose of the project is to ensure practical testing of the technology for cross-border exchange of electronic documents between entities from different States using the digital signature and “trusted third party” mechanisms.
The pilot project will help accelerate the process of obtaining and checking transport documents, as well as achieve cost savings in implementing transport, logistics, control and supervision procedures.
The Working Group is scheduled to meet in Q2 2025.
