Our job is to work with people like the hauliers to make sure we have the best systems possible in place,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>One major source of concern is the Smart Freight System, a new web-based portal that the government wants British truckers to use for roll-on\/roll-off freight traveling to the EU. The Department for Transport sought views on the service as part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/?p=1428260\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a consultation<\/a> that closed on August 23. On Tuesday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parliament.uk\/business\/publications\/written-questions-answers-statements\/written-questions-answers\/?page=1&amp;max=20&amp;questiontype=AllQuestions&amp;house=commons%2clords&amp;keywords=Brock\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the government said<\/a> it would publish a summary of the responses within the next three months, and will talk to businesses about the design and user testing of the service, with a view to launch it before January 1, 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Truckers will be required to submit details of the HGV being used to transport goods to a particular port in advance of the journey. But the logistics industry says they dont have enough time to learn how to use it before the transition finishes on December 31 and requested that its development be accelerated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite the governments assertion that the Smart Freight software will be ready before January 1, 2021, this timeline fails to take into account the time it will take for transport companies, their customers, subcontractors and customs intermediaries to agree and coordinate the necessary business processes at the right time to gain access to the border,\u201d said Sarah Laouadi, European policy manager at Logistics UK. \u201cWe are concerned that mass testing using of this software will not be possible until October \u2014 or maybe even November: this is far too late.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/uk-logistics-industry-brexit-plea\/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&amp;utm_medium=RSS&amp;utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More \u2013 Source<\/a><br \/>\n[contf]<br \/>\n[contfnew]<br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/snap.md\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/politico-logo.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">politico<\/a><\/h5>\n<p>[contfnewc]<br \/>\n[contfnewc]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON \u2014 Eight logistics industry groups have written to U.K. Cabinet Minister Michael Gove asking f..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":151246,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[202],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-151245","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-finance"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
