Road transport smart enforcement and simplification

Road transport is vital for the EU economy but there is scope for reducing the administrative burden created by disruptive and lengthy controls and paper-based processes. This simplification initiative aims to reduce the burden for businesses through smart enforcement and digitalisation by:

• making controls more targeted
• shifting documentary checks to the back office
• cutting paperwork for operators and authorities.

This initiative is part of a package. The Call for Evidence is shared with all the other initiatives:
