CLECAT response to the Fair Mobility Package
CLECAT welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the call for evidence on the Fair Labour Mobility Package. CLECAT is the European Association for Forwarding, Transport, Logistics and Customs Services, representing 25 national freight forwarding and logistics associations across the European Union and beyond. Our members organise and manage complex, cross-border supply chains across all transport modes and play a central role in facilitating the free movement of goods within the internal market.
The vast majority of companies represented by CLECAT are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), operating in highly internationalised and competitive environments. As coordinators of transport operations and service providers at the interface between shippers and carriers; CLECAT members are directly affected by EU rules on labour mobility, posting of workers and subcontracting.
CLECAT therefore welcomes the Commission’s objective to promote fair labour mobility, high standards of worker protection and a level playing field across the internal market. From the perspective of the logistics sector, EU action can deliver real added value if it focuses on simplification, legal clarity, digitalisation and consistent enforcement of existing rules, while fully reflecting the operational realities of cross-border logistics and transport services.
