Unlock the secret to successful eFTI integration

On 30 January 2024, we will organise a webinar on eFTI regulation and its impact on digitalisation processes in logistics.

The main objective of the webinar will be to create a common understanding of how to incorporate eFTI in business operations and how freight forwarders should plan for this to reap the benefits. Presentations will be passed by Mr Matjaž Auflič, Trinet Infomratika, followed by a Q&A session.

The eFTI Regulation aims to give economic operators the possibility to provide transport data to authorities in electronic format, via the use of eFTI platforms. By 2026, the Regulation mandates national authorities to accept transport data which has been shared electronically via an eFTI platform.

Economic operators will be able to keep their data in any system that complies with the requirements of the regulation and the more detailed specifications that will be adopted and certified. Data does not need to be sent to authorities every time a transport operation occurs and can remain on the eFTI platform. The certification process, which is well-described in the regulation, can only be obtained from an accredited organisation in one of the Member States. Once obtained, the certification is recognised throughout the EU for the specific eFTI platform or eFTI service provider.

DG MOVE is currently developing more detailed implementation specifications to ensure interoperability between eFTI platforms, which are typically owned and operated by EOs, either as big logistics operators with their own platform or by IT service providers offering their services for a fee to allow EOs to store and share their data with authorities.

All these novelties and the possibilities brought by eFTI Regulation will be presented to you in this webinar.
