European Union's CMR Convention

The European Union's implementation of the CMR Convention (International Carriage of Goods by Road) is a treaty that regulates the transportation of goods by road across borders within Europe. It establishes clear rules for the responsibilities, rights, and liabilities of the parties involved—like shippers, carriers, and recipients—ensuring consistent legal standards. The Convention addresses issues such as documentation, delivery, and liability in case of loss, damage, or delay. Overall, it aims to facilitate safe, efficient, and predictable cross-border road freight operations within Europe.
