Sweden: Shippers' Council in favour of electronic waybills
Transportnet.se, 02 Feb 2017, online:-
In a referral statement, the Swedish Shippers' Council (Näringslivets Transportråd) has expressed favourable opinions concerning the introduction of electronic freight waybills in road transports as proposed by the government. The government has proposed electronic waybills in international as well as domestic road transports. The Swedish Shippers' Council concludes that the proposed changes are fully in line with the general ambition of introducing more digital solutions in industries. It is believed that costs will be reduced and that the transport sector will become more profitable. The council further calls for measures to ensure that the electronic system is practically possible to introduce. The establishing of a time plan is also called for.
