CLECAT, the European Association for Forwarding, Transport, Logistics and Customs Services, has called out the European Commission (EC) over its recent intention to withdraw the amendments to the Combined Transport Directive. \u201cThe existing framework creates barriers to the effective operation of combined transport and does little to stimulate the shift from long-distance road freight to more sustainable modes\u201d, the association stressed.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>CLECAT\u2019s reaction comes after the EC revealed its intentions in the 2026 Work Programme. The association is not the first one to react adversely to this development. Combined transport group UIRR also recently voiced its disapproval. Moreover, the rapporteur of the Directive Flavio Tosi MEP said he and his colleagues will work hard over the next months to avoid the withdrawal.<\/p>\n
