Background information
The e-CMR procedure exists since 2008. Currently, eight European countries have adopted the e-CMR protocol with The Netherlands, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Spain and Switzerland. These countries no longer need to use a paper consignment note, as it is seen as equivalent to the paper version. The e-protocol stipulates that it is possible to use an electronic consignment note for international haulage but it needs two bordering countries for cross-border transport.
The CMR Convention (full title Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road) is a United Nations convention that was signed in Geneva on 19 May 1956. It relates to various legal issues concerning transportation of cargo by road and is mandatory law in the 55 states where it applies. The word CMR comes from the French title of the Convention relative au contrat de transport international de marchandises par route.
