Submission by the Chartered Institute of Transport and Logistics (CILT) to Lords Select Committee: European Union Committee: EU Goods Sub-Committee.
Introduction
The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) is a professional institution embracing all transport modes whose members are engaged in the provision of transport services for both passengers and freight, the management of logistics and the supply chain, transport planning, government and administration. Our principal concern is that transport policies and procedures should be effective and efficient, based on objective analysis of the issues and practical experience, and that good practice should be widely disseminated and adopted. The Institute has specialist forums, a nationwide structure of locally based groups and a Public Policies Committee which considers the broad canvass of transport policy. CILT can provide a witness to cover all the issues in this note or, if required by the Committee, specialists in particular modes.
