e-CMR: enabling more efficient cross-border goods transport with UN/CEFACT digitalization standards

UN/CEFACT expert Mr Rudy Hemeleers of Luxemburg explains how UN/CEFACT standards support the digitalization of the widely used consignment note under the United Nations Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road, known as the CMR.
