The DTLF provides a platform for structural dialogue, provision of technical expertise, and cooperation and coordination between the Commission, Member States and the transport and logistic sector. Its goal is to assist the Commission in the development and implementation of the Union’s legislation, activities and programmes targeted at full-scale digital interoperability and data exchange in a shared, secured and trusted transport and logistics environment.
Over time, the DTLF has been instrumental in supporting the preparation and implementation of the Regulation on electronic freight transport information – eFTI, and in providing the necessary expertise in formulating design principles and technical specifications for the federation of digital platforms aimed at facilitating data sharing between all types of stakeholders in the transport and logistics sector. More information on the work of the DTLF, including the minutes and presentations of the DTLF plenary and sub-group meetings, are available on the DTLF website[1] and on the Commission’s Register of Expert Groups and Other Similar Entities[2].

The future activities of the DTLF are expected to build on the previous work and results and to address and complete tasks identified in relevant work programmes and other documents established by the Forum. However, the DTLF is also expected to identify other topics of importance and develop forward-looking strategies, taking due consideration of the evolution of Union’s and national policies, as well as of industry’s situation and needs.
