European associations representing the interests of cargo owners and shippers (ESC) and Freight Forwarders and Customs Agents (CLECAT) are warning Members of the European Parliament (EP) of the unforeseen consequences of the EU Customs Reform proposal.

Today, the Commission has published its decision not to renew the Consortia Block Exemption Regulation (CBER), the Regulation exempting container shipping lines from parts of general EU competition law so they can co-operate together in consortia to provide shared services for their customers.

CLECAT, the European association of Freight Forwarders welcomes the publication of the Greening Transport Package, which was adopted by the European Commission on 11 July.

On 17th May 2023, the European Commission put forward proposals for the most ambitious and comprehensive reform of the EU Customs Union since its establishment in 1968.
