On Tuesday 7 November, the European Commission adopted a proposal to revise the Directive on the combined transport of goods between Member States in order to ‘green’ freight transport.
“In 2022, 13.6 billion tonnes of goods were carried on EU roads”, pointed out Adina Vălean, the Commissioner for Transport, in a press release. “This freight is central to the EU economy, and as demand increases, we need to keep the costs and the emissions under control”, she added.
