ERFA welcomes the inclusion of the new CountEmissions EU Regulation inside the Greening Freight Transport Package. Allowing economic actors to know how much CO2 emissions are generated by transport services is indeed a key element to decarbonise freight transport as the less polluting modes and services will be better highlighted. However, carbon reporting should be made mandatory and co-legislators should introduce a carbon labelling to communicate the data to shippers in a uniform way and maximise the effect of the Regulation.
