Press Release: Campaign against bottlenecks in freight transport logistics in Europe

The European Commission has launched an exercise to identify and alleviate obstacles hindering the smooth running of the freight transport chain in Europe. In the framework of this so-called "bottleneck exercise", stakeholders and interested parties are invited to submit details of bottlenecks they have encountered. A bottleneck is any obstacle to freight transport logistics services, whether administrative, operational, legislative, local, national, Europe-wide or the like. Participants to the bottleneck exercise are also asked to identify effective solutions to these problems.
